Friendly Relations

One of his most difficult tasks
and one requiring continual atten-
ton was the promotion of friendly
relations between his men and the
uniformed force. The former were
inclined to demand consideration
from the uniformed men, convinced
that they had earned it by giving
up several hours a night, as MANY
OF them did despite their daytime
employments, to go on patrol like
regular policemen. The uniformed
men, on the other hand, were reluc-
tant in many instances to meet the
civilian members halfway and fric-
ton constantly was developing.

enthusiast and former president of

Job alone was most onerous one.
He cooperated with the law en-
forcement division of the War De-

Camp Activities in cleaning I'D
vicious districts which might have
proved alluring to soldiers or sailors
on leave in the city. Within a few
weeks of his appointment he made
an airplane flight over the citv

steps, if any, should be taken toward
darkening the city to foil possible
air raiders.

men in the world, and the Police
Department rank and file are begin
ming to wonder how long the city
will be able to hold that distinction
after the peace treaty is signed.
For the millionaire cops-Dr. John
Alton Harriss, Rodman Wanamaker,
Allan A. Ryan, T. Coleman du Pont,
John NJ. Shaw and Edmond A. Gug-
genheim-were appointed by au-
thority of a war measure, the de-
partment believes. Their salary is
nothing (sOO) year.
Some of them are of such recent
appointment that the uniformed
force has had no opportunity to
gauge their mettle. Some have
handled difficult police work with
ease and won the respect of the de-
partment. One such is DR.. Harriss,
who has complete general super
vision over the regulation of traffic.
DR.. Harriss is president of the
International Arms and Fuse Com
pany and employs 10000 men. He
has the Incidental financial and
business connections which go with
such position. He is commodore
Of the Columbia Yacht Club. He is
physician. But for years his avo-
cation and delight has been the
study Of street traffic in New York.
From the window of his Office on
the fifteenth floor of 511 Fifth Ave-
nue., which is said to be the most
luxurious Office in this city of luxu-
rious offices, DR.. Harriss can look
up Fifth Avenue for nearly three
miles.
The steady stream of vehicles,
changing in type Of it's constituent
parts from hour to hour, but un-
varying from month to month, fas-
cinated DR.. Harriss. He studied it
by the hour. He knows the Fifth
Avenue bus schedules as we'll as
any starter, and probably has
much better idea than most of them
how the schedules work. AS oppor-
tunities offered he studied condi-
tions on other thoroughfares as
well.

was discussing his hobby in a bank
On February 16, 1918, introduced
him to George W. Loft, who
CHANGED in. Mr.. Loft was chairman
of the Mayors Committee on Ma
tional Defence. Dr. Harriss said he
had some ideas concerning traffic
regulations that he would like to

partitions torn out and doors cut

yacht Surf, which was used by the
Red Cross last year, during the
winter months, Dr. Harriss does not
lay up it's crew of fifteen but keeps
them on the payroll. So when he
equipped the Police Club part of
the equipment was the chef and
stewards from the Surf. 1t is his
ambition to build $3,00O,0O0 club

however. He attends, and has at

The Dead Line

On each side of Forty-second
Street-a line of white tiles stretches
across the oil-grimed pavement of
Fifth Avenue from curb to curb.
At night each white strip is illu-
minated. 1t marks the unmistak-
able dead line for motorists when the
traffic patrolman's signal is set
against them. None must cross it
to infringe upon the pathway cleared
for pedestrians crossing the avenue.
That was one of the ideas that oc-
Cured to DR.. Harriss while he was
staring out of his office window.
He also wanted traffic signs such
as Street Closed" and "School
Street, Drive Slowly" distributed
more generously, and one of his
first acts as special deputy police
commissioner was to put in a reoui-
sit!on for them. Time passed, but
the signs did not materialize. DR..
Harriss made some inquiries. He dis
covered that the Board of Estimate
had not given it's approval to his
requisition.
Deciding not to wait for the
Board of Estimates approval, he
went shopping and bought as many
signs as he thought were needed,
paying for them himself.
