POLICE HEAD URGES
A TRAFFIC COURT
Maj. Pullman Says Accused
and Officer Are Delayed
at Hearings.
BAY STATE MAN A CRITIC

ct strongly advocate a traffic court
for Washington similar to those op-
Grated in New York and Chicago
said Maj Raymond w. Pullman, su
perintendent of police, last night a a
meeting of the Washington Safety
First Association at the Public Lii
brary.
"A court of this kind would handle
only cases pertaining to traffic viola
tion. and would save an immense
amount of time, not only to the police
officers. but TO the citizen as We'll. .
he said The situation as it is to-
day: if a man is arrested for speed
ing he is liable to spend most of his
day in court waiting for his case to
be heard, and it means that the Off
Ger making the arrest has to be there
also"
Maj. Pullman cited an instance of a
Navy commander, who stayed at court
on charge of speeding from $50 in
the morning until 2:50 in the after
noon.
"Non-Thinking' Are Blamed.
Maj. Pullman says that most acci-
dents are caused by people mot think
ing and that there are a large pro-
portion of people from other states who
arc temporarily in this city who do
not know the traffic regulations. He
also spoke of the inaccuracies of many
speedometers on private cars. Maj.
Pullman said that Lieut.. Headley has
instituted conference at ESQ every
afternoon in order to educate people
who wish to know more d bou the
regulations,
l.. G. Brooks, executive secretary of
the Highway Safety League of Massa
chusetts, now in Washington in war
work, said that the two criticisms he
had to make of Washington were that
motorists paid no attention whatever
to pedestrians at cross streets, caus-
ing them to run for their lives, and
the seeming non-enforcement of the
muff1er "cut-out' law, He said that
be heartily approved of traffic court
as it would mean uniform treatment of
offenders
