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 dry
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"

candidate for Surrogate, to oppose
the incumbent, General George A. Win
gate.

election and the election of Surro-
gate George NJ. S. Schulz to a county
)udgeship.

leader Of the upper house, will be the

Speed of the Navy in
Salvaging Transport

The transport Graf Waldersee, which
was put ashore OFF Long Beach on
Thursday, after having been rammed
by the steamship Redondo off Fire
Island, was foated yesterday and taken
in tow to an anchorage in the upper
Bay.
The hole in her midship section
on the starboard side below the water
line was shored up, and pumps from
several tugs drew from her hold the
great volume Of water that held her
fast on the shoal. Much OF her cargo
had been taken off.
Her removal was n surprise to
steamship men, many or whom thought
she would be on the sand for at least
week, but the naval officers in charge
Of the salvage said on Friday that
she would be foated within fortv-
eight hours. She will be put in dry
dock to-day.
