COPS HIDE ON CARS
TO TRAP MOTORISTS
Police POunce on Automobile
lists Who Violate Eight
Foot Law.
225 MORE ARRESTS MADE
Magistrate House Collapses
Under Strain of Mass of
Complaints.
225 MORE ARRESTS MADE

In yesterdays rush at the Traffic
Court which caused one City Magistrate
to faint and three others to perspire
freely there bodied into public view a
brand new scheme OF operations in the
crusade which the cops are waging upon
alleged traffic law violators.
This new plan Of action was disclosed
by number Of traffic policemen in their
testimony against automobilists said to
have violated the eight foot law, by
passing a halted street car at less than
the prescribed distance.
As explained by the officers it
amounts to a sort of rowing commits
sion which Is given to many members
Of the Traffic Squad, authorizing Them
within the boundaries of their own pre-
cincts to wander about at will while on
duty, instead Of remaining at one fixed
post
These "rovers" hop trolleys and ride
with the motormen for the express pur-
pose of nabbing the automobiles who
attempts to beat the law by cutting past
| the car at a corner when he doesn't hap
pen to see a policeman around. They are
| apt to show UP anywhere at almost any
| time. SO the motorist can never count on
| their absence.
Police Picked for Work.
| 1t was said at the Traffic Court that
| about seventy-five picked traffic cops
have been detailed to this kind of work,
and they have got of to a flying start
with several hundred arrests to Their
credit. An attempt to interview the
heads of the Traffic Department about
| this new order failed. At the office OF
| Deputy Commissioner Harriss at Police
| Headquarters 1t was stated that Inspec-
| tor o Brien, in charge of enforcement OF
traffic regulations, could furnish details
at his office, 1873 West Thirtieth street
At Inspector O'Brien's office it was
stated details might be obtained at the
office OF Deputy Commissioner Harriss
Neither the inspector nor the Deputy
Commissioner could be found at either
| place.
Yesterdays tide of complaints brought
225 alleged violators to the Traffic Court
on Mulberry street, almost all of whom
received small fines. From the convic
lions 1t was impossible to pass upon the
merits OF the greatly increased activities
of the police in most cases. In the ma
jority of cases 1t was simply a matter Of
the policeman's word against the wore
of the driver of the automobile, and the
court followed generally the established
custom Of accepting the officers stor!
and imposing a fine OF few dollars.
Before court opened there was a care
full search OF the old building for bombs
and 1t was not until they were satisfied
that 1t WAS safe to do so that the officer:
admitted the great army of policemen
and automobile drivers.
