PARKING Zones
AFFORD Relief
Autos and Carriages Given
Ten Times as Much Space
as Formerly.
ANNOYANCE Is REMEDIED
Commission Makes Quiet Necessary
About Churches and Hospitals. Erect
ing Signs Designating These.

Recent amendments to police regula-
tons by the District Commissioners have
enlarged the areas Of carriage parking
zones In the downtown business section
by more than ten times the space former
ly allotted for placement. The orders
went into effect this week.
The zones are not only increased in
number, but are larger. some of them
being eight blocks in length. In Penn
sylvania avenue the painted rectangle on
the pavement along both sides Of street
car tracks extends from Seventh to Fiji
teenth street. The space Is the width of
an automobiles length
Streets In which carriages may be
lodged are Pennsylvania avenue, be-
tween Seventh and Fifteenth streets;
New York avenue, between Eleventh and
Fourteenth streets: north side Of H street,
between New York avenue and Thir-
teenth street. and e street. between
Pennsylvania avenue and Thirteenth
street. Before the new orders went into
effect the only parking zones were In F
street. between Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets. and in Vermont avenue, from H
to I street.
Annoyance IL Remedied.
With the enlarged area for automobile
placement. congestion and confusion
practically have been eliminated in down.
town traffic. and annoyance to business
men has been remedied. The old street
areas and spaces in wide alleys and in
the rear OF office buildings, in the CEN
ter of business blocks. were easily filled
in the early, morning hours, the later ar
rivals being forced to go beyond The
limit of the downtown zone, often several
blocks out of their way. before the auto
mobiles could be parked.
The new zone locations were laid out
under the direction Of the police depart
ment. principally through the efforts Of
Maj Pullman and the District engineer
ing office.
Another change in traffic regulations
has been made in the erection of sign
posts bearing the warning Zone of
Quiet. All Unnecessary Noise Prohibit
ed The signs have been placed In the
neighborhood of hospitals and churches,
and warn traffic going in both two and
four directions

new YORK G. 0. P. IS
READY FOR CAMPAIGN
Pre-convention Activities About to
Open-Republicans Claim En-
couraging Figures.
S. An9N7zo

New York. July s-Republicans
here are getting busy and feeling
sanguine over the party outlook. Cor.
sequently. pre-convention enterprises
are about to become militant Leaders
of their party in the Empire State
have within the last sixty days made
thorough canvass of sentin en-,
7 throughout it's confines to ascertain
what sort of verdict they might render
on a test as to the Whitman adIninis-
tration and the legislature which sup
ported him, whose session closed
April "a.
The result of this investigation has
been gratifying 10 the supporters of
Gov. Whitman, who likewise have
been greatly pleased by the cordial re-
ception accorded him by the people in
the cities through which he passed on
his way to and from the Panama FIX
position at San Francisco.
With the present probability that
his party in New York is going TO
back him for President in the national
Republican convention, leaders else
where are coming to regard the young
governor as a forceful factor in the
situation. His friends, losing no &C
casion to laud him. welcome the
closest examination of his career and
official record, confident that the more
he is scrutinized the stronger and more
satisfyingly responsive he will be to
the national Republican demand for
standard bearer with winning
habit.
His friends will not allow the adherents
of other favorites to forget Whitmans
brilliant victory in the three-cornered
fight waged against him in 1914. WREN
the hold he and the people of New York
mutually held upon each other was
demonstrated by $4,000 majority over his
opponents: when he faced and bea. the
strongest combination ever pitted against
a Republican candidate for governor OF
New York. coalition. as 1t were, that
embraced Tammany Hall and all its
ramified influences. the prestige and i'm
pressive weight of the Washington ad-
ministration. and no small part Of the
Independent element of the State 1t
VIII not be overlooked that among the
Cabinet officers who campaigned active
ly against Whitman and for Glynn, the
Democratic candidate. were former Sec
rotary of State William j. Bryan, Secre-
tary of the Treasury William q. Nc
Adoo and Secretary of Commerce Will
liam c. Redfield. There were Democratic
Congressional leaders likewise. in whose
company, fighting Whitman was Dudley
Field Malone. collector Of the port of
New York and a close friend of Presi-
dent Wilson.
Then there were the Progressives, led
and spurred by Theodore Roosevelt, in a
vain effort to curtail the career of a
regular Republican whose courage. char
acter and ability promised a revival of
national Republican power and the OBJ
sequies of the Bull Moose faction in the
moss-grown third-party graveyard
Upstate Republican leaders have as
sured Gov. Whitman, since the close Of
the legislative session, that the attacks
upon him emanating from the Presidents
appointees in Federal positions, are not
bothering the people at all any more
than in 1914. when his critics were re-
pudiated by $4,000 votes to the good.
