CURB ON
LAWMAKERS
Committee Would Make It Un-
lawful to Cross Streets Ex-
cept at Certain Points.

A jay-walking ordinance, making
it unlawful for pedestrians to cross
downtown streets except at certain
designated points. was one Of the
recommendations made today to the
special committee appointed by the
District Commissioners to revise
traffic regulations. The committee
held a public hearing in the board
room of the District Building.
BASIS FOR LEGISLATION.
Conrad II. Syme. representing the
legislative committee Of the District
division of the American Automobile
Association. urged that any traffic
reform that might be made have
as its basis the definite separation
wherever possible Of vehicles and Pc
destrians-
Syme declared the city of Buffalo
had passed an ordnance which made
IT unlawful for pedestrians to cross
any streets in the entire city except
at street corners or other designated
points.
There. is no need that any law
for the District be SO stringent"
said Mr.. Syme, I'VE believe it should
only apply to crowded sections.
There is no need for enforcing the
regulation in the suburbs where there
is little traffic"
The association is desirous that the
Commissioners designated and mark
each crossing, which pedestrians may
use.
Charles a. Darr, OF the Chamber OF
Commerce. declared that regulation
OF pedestrian traffic would prevent
many accidents. He said the cham
ber would submit n written report.
recommending certain changes.
Charles ]. Columbus. of the Mcr-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton. said he would submit recon-
mendations, later. Mr.. Columbus
urged that any changes in the law
be stated in such manner that there
would be no difficulty In understand
ing any and all parts OF it.
A jay-walking ordinance was In
force in Washington some years ago.
At that time there was only one
fourth tho traffic that is in the city
today. The courts refused to up
hold the Commissioners and declared
the regulation unreasonable. This
ordinance. however, applied to every
part of the city.
The association recommended that
no licenses be issued to motorcycle
drivers under sixteen years of age.
The association does not oppose the
present regulation with regard to
drivers of other vehicles. but recon-
mends that no license be issued to
persons "whose physical defects. such
as blindness. deafness, or other de-
fects, would make the operation of a
motor vehicle by such person a
menace to public safety"

STAND IN TURKEY FLAYE0

PARIS, Nov. 24.-Despite reas-
suring official statements from both
sides, Anglo-French relations are
again strained to a degree unequal
ed since the war, and leading French
statesmen and writer's are making
no attempt to conceal their feelings
toward the English government.
THREE POINTS AT ISSUE.
The three chief issues In the
arrangement of the two countries are
German indemnity. the allied attitude
toward Soviet Russia, and the dis
position OF Turkish territory.
Former President Poincare in an
open letter, declares that, II England
continues to urge France 20 further
revisions Of the Treaty Of Versailles
in favor OF Germany, England herself
should return the surrendered Ger
man fleet. and the former German
colonies.
NJ. Poincare's letter was addressed
to an English editor who had asked
him to use his influence to obtain for
Germany an amelioratlon Of the treaty
terms. The former President charges
that the English are taking advan.
tage Of the election result In America,
and American opposition to the
League Of Nations, to ask France 10
yield on some Of the principal points
Of the treaty.

is that the divergence between the

difficult task was assumed by

tingent Of Italians. In Syria. British
agents and officers have done every
thing possible to make the French

Both the Matin and Echo de Paris

spirit of retaliation by supporting the

charge declined to do so. stating that
she woul6 communicate with the
Bodmers. who she said were in Chi.

In answer to this petition of Con-

the consent Of the defendant or its
officers or employees eloped from said
academy to parts unknown to her

Of Conrow." The sister superior said
that upon the fathers demand for the

that thereupon she wanted to see the

The sister superior declared that
later in the day she heard from the
Bodmers. in Chicago, requesting her
to communicate at once with their
attorney. Robert II. Mcneil. who re-
piled that the children would be safe.
but did not disclose their whereabouts.
The children not being in her custody,
