Harviss Seeks to Teach
Pedestrians to Play Safe
Deputy Commissioner Opposes Penalty for Cross
ing Streets Between Corners, but Favors Plan of
Education to Warn of Danger From Automobiles

You can legislats & pedestrian to q
street corner, but you can't make him
cross there. Why not educate, then,
rather than legislate, suggests DR.. John
Alton Harriss, Deputy Police Commits
sioner, in charge Of traffic.
To this end Commissioner Harriss
purposes to place large signs along the
blocks where traffic Is heavy, request
ing those who walk along the sidewalks
to cross the street at the corners, for
their own safety He plans to carry on
a publicity campaign in Fifth Avenue
busses and on trolley cars, to teach
people that it Is folly to dash in front
of motor cars between corners. AL
though the Commissioner favors safety
measures to eliminate death and in
Jury, he does not favor the proposed
ordinance to be introduced next week
in the Board of Aldermen, providing
fines for persons crossing streets ex-
cept at corners.
PERSONALLY, I do not think such an
ordinance can pass" he said yesterday.
You cannot prevent persons crossing
streets throughout the city and you
cannot discriminate against certain
sections.
"1n many blocks uptown there is no
reason for attempting to prevent cross
ing at any point in the street, because
traffic Is light and little danger Is in
volved. I should like to see some ar
rangement made to get the public to
go to the corners, but think it better
to appeal to people to go to the corners
for their own good, rather than to pass
an ordinance that cannot be effectively
enforced"
Chances Of Pedestrians
The Commissioner does not think
that when pedestrians have learned to
cross at the corners there will DO any
material delay to vehicles or any need
of more crossing patrolmen, because
vehicles have to stop anyway and
pedestrians can cross quickly, even
though their number is increased. He
is going to paint white lines at the
busiest corners, and place green lights
in the curb, because these devices have
been found very effective at Fifth Ave-
nue. and Forty-second Street.
A canvass Of crossing patrolmen at
the busiest corners reveals that they
are convinced of the need of getting
those who walk to cross at street cross
ing only. They blame persons on foot
for most accidents, rather than drivers
of vehicles.
Pedestrians, particularly feminine
ones, are a careless, foolish lot, take 1t
from the traffic cops, who know.
"If man gets in tight place he
makes up his mind quickly what to do,
and he gets away all right; but q
woman''-and this patrolman has served
in the shopping district along Fifth
Avenue long enough to know something
about women-"gets panicky. Women
do the most ridiculous things around
here. If drivers were not as careful
as they are, there'd be a lot more ac-
cidents."
If traffic regulations are revised next
week by the Board Of Aldermen, women
are to blame. Their tight skirts, their
disregard of vehicles, their hesitating,

was led by Miss Catherine Leverich, of
the Bronx County Chapter of the Red
Cross.
Borough officials and thousands of
members of local patriotic and civic
organizations formed the bulk of the
parade. The officials were led by
Borough President Henry Bruckner
and Gordon Of aldermen in silk hats
and frock coats. The Spirit Of The
Bronx was there, too, picturesque in
float, with white and gold robes and
stars in her hair. She was Miss Au-
gusta W. Schlemmer, daughter of the
executive clerk Of the borough. At her
side as she stood by the white portals
Of the Temple of The Bronx stood
two Girl Scouts in khaki and boots.
There were school children in festi-
val uniforms, red, white and blue paper
dresses and "victory helmets" boys in
Scout uniform, and youngsters in khaki
strutting under their big brothers
trench helmets, who invariably won a
tribute of laughter and cheers from
the crowd. Fraternal organizations
Elks, Eagles, Woodmen Of America,
Knights Of Columbus and Salvation
Army, composed the eighth division.
The ninth division included the Young
Mems Christian Association and Young
Mems Hebrew Association, and the
tenth numerous industries Of the bor-
ough, which did their part to send the
10000 heroes to the Rhine.

thinking and duttering eonfusion-all
are observed daily by policemen, driv-
ers and pedestrians, mostly men, Of
course.
"Often I've had to stop suddenly TO
save hitting a woman" said the holder
OF license 1924, who for twelve years
has driven his own taxicab along Fifth
Avenue. She'll cross IN the middle Of
the block, and when jam on my brake
to save her, she stands in front Of the
car and cries, Now you stop and wait
until get across"
THE main thing" he added. sis to
prevent walking across, except at the
corners"
Glow you gonna stop 'em"? de-
manded the patrolman stationed under
the Third Avenue II station at Forty
second Street. you'll have to have
five or six policemen in each block and
as many more on the corners to keep
people from walking wherever they
want to. The police along the block'll
be busy keeping walkers on tho side
walks, and the police at the corners'll
have their hands full taking care Of the
bigger crowds coming their way. It's
bad enough now, with the 81 roaring
overhead and trucks and wagons and
automobiles and trolley cars going
around these pillars. I'll be crazy If
stay here another year"
Motor Policeman's Suggestion
Motorcycle Traffic Policeman b1O5
agrees that crossing, except at intersec-
tions should be discouraged.
"In France" he said. "there has been
law for ten years that If a man Is
injured in crossing q street between
corners, he is arrested, rather than the
driver who strikes him. think that's
q good rule"
There Is a general accord that driv-
ers OF vehicles are more careful than
pedestrians. But the officer who has
served for five years at the corner Of
Thirty fourth Street and Fifth Avenue
thinks traffic problems have been over
estimated.
"There's not half as much careless
driving as we hear about he de-
clared. "In the five years I've been on
this corner, I've seen only six slight
accidents, and every one Of them was
the pedestrian own fault"
The officer, who for fourteen years
has been directing traffic up Broadway
at the Twenty-third Street crossing,
thinks there should be uniform state
wide traffic Legislation, so that drivers
from upstate would be familiar with
the municipal ordinances. He further
is Of the opinion that new legislation
should be worked out carefully by q
committee of "men Of brains in COM
mercal lines"
"When I first went to work on this
corner there were no automobiles.
Now they have complicated traffic, but
most motorcar drivers are very careful,
because chauffeurs are licensed.
think drivers of horses should be Ii
censed as we'll, because some of them
understand neither English or signals
Any rate, we ought to have new traffic
rules to keep pace with the rapidly
growing population"

Supreme Bench
Second District Republican
Announces His Candidacy;
Complication Presented
by Martyrs Appearance

of the Board Of Aldermen, yesterday
announced his candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for justice Of the
Supreme Court for the I'd District,
comprising the counties OF Kings,
Queens, Suffolk, Nassau and Richmond.
The only complication feared by his
friends Is over the fact that Frederick
S. Martyn, candidate last year for
county judge, is a near neighbor Of

among the Kings County leaders that
1t cannot officially advocate the NOM
ination of two candidates from ad-
joining Assembly district.
Jacob Livingston, chairman Of the
Republican County Committee of
Kings, announced yesterday that, at
the general conference of Republicans
in Brooklyn, July 8, Colonel Mortimer
C. Bryant will be presented as a can
didatc for county clerk.
Colonel Bryant went to war as a
major OF the 1st Cavalry and was later
made colonel Of the 10th Infantry He
was wounded twice and has been cited
for bravery.
The name Of Lieutenant Colonel
James c. McLeer is also mentioned as
candidate for Surrogate, to oppose
the incumbent, General George A. Win
gate.
The Bronx County Bar Association
unanimously indorsed the candidacy Of
County Judge Louis D. Gibbs for re-
election and the election of Surro-
gate George NJ. S. Schulz to a county
)udgeship.
Senator James A. Foley, minority
leader Of the upper house, will be the
Democratic candidate for Surrogate in

eight hours. She will be put in dry

the express company unbeatable with
