 BY NEW RULES

That the new police regulations have cut jitney accidents to one half the former number was made plain in report given out this morning by Captain Edward Wheeler, of the traffic department Out of a total of 195 accidents reported to the police during the month of August, only B were involved jitney buses. Dur ing the month of July, jitneys figured in T9 accidents out of a total of 230
 Two persons were killed and 47 Injured in the 195 accidents which occurred during the month of August. Jitneys were mixed up in 35 of these, trolleys figured in 24, and the other mishaps were caused by miscellane- ous vehicles. The total number of accidents in the past month is the second lowest during the year. This is considered exceptionally gratifying in view of theefact that traffic is much heavier during the summer months than any other season of the year.
