POLICE HOLD Up
AUTOMOBILES
FOR RED CROSS

Pedestrians were given the right of
way over all traffic in the main
streets of Bridgeport today, as the
traffic officers were too busy holding
up autoists that hadn't purchased a
Team 12' flag. Walkers were for
once in their lives given a chance to
move about a little faster, not being
held up at the busy corners to wait
for traffic to move.
1t was a lucky autoist who was not
stopped and forced to buy a flag or
told to report at once at police head

the victims and nearly every per-

dollar which was the smallest sum &C
cepted for the flags.

M'ADOO GUSTS
r. r. PRESIDENT

Washington, May PC. w.
Huntington of New York has
been removed by Director
General McAdoo as president
Of the Virginia Railroad for
disobedlence of the railroad adj
ministration's orders for main
tenance and improvement of
his road. J. H. Young of Nor
folk, Va, has been appointed
federal director.
The virginian is a coal carrying
road running from Deep Water, W.
Va, to Norfolk, Va.
Huntington is the first railroad pres
ident to be refoved by Director Gen
eral McAdoo, but it was limited today
at railroad administration headquar-
ters that similar action might be
taken against other executives, who
do not cooperate well with the feder-
al management.
The complaint against Mr.. Hunt
ington was that he failed to comply
promptly with suggestions and or
ders of the railroad administration,
insisting on technicalities involved
and consulting at length with the
roads counsel before carrying out in
structions.
The action against Mr.. Huntington
removes him as executive chief of the
road, but leaves him as head of the
railroad corporation which is requir-
ed to pay his salary out of corporate
funds furnished by the government
as compensation for use of the road,
rather than out of operating funds.
Mr.. Young, the new manager, is
given full authority to manage the
road, even to the extent of changing
the personnel of operating officers.
