LONDON HAS BEST
 REGULATED TRAFFIC
Paris Also Regarded as Worst
 in Europe

Cleveland, O., Oct 22.-London is he best regulated city in Europe from traffic standpoint and Paris probably IS the worst, Edward May, police in spector of Cleveland, reported upon his return from a trip through Euro pean cities to inspect traffic condi-
 lions. Obedience of the English popu-
 lace to the police and the traffic rules and lack of obedience or regard by the French populace accounts for the diff ference, he said
 Inspector May recommends abolish ment of the present yearly automobile license plate and substitution there fore of a perpetual license and urges much more stringent examinations for taxicab drivers. He also advocates raised safety zones in the middle of the streets, such as used in many
 European cities, to protect the pedes- trian from automobiles
 Under the system of abolishing the
 issuance of new license tags, Inspec- tor May said millions of dollars would be saved yearly. License fees would be collected annually as at present, but the license would be valid as long as the car is used.
 An excellent system of licensing tax cab drivers is used in London, he said. Most of the drivers are mddle-aged The examinations for licenses are stringent and when a man gets one he is cautious to keep it. Few of the chauffeurs are mixed up in crimes. Al one examination at which the in- spector attecAeA = cid one man ap- pered for the forty-ninth time and l failed again. Men rarely pass the test t1o frc% 1
 Applicants for licenses in Manches- ter, England, must be almost athletes with a character next to perfect.

to their room by the jurymen.
 In the closing argument for the state, Solicitor Joseph R. Tate argued that Ruth Gussman, Stephenson's daughter, WIS IS years old and, there fore, had the right to choose her re- Egion for herself. He maintained that had the priest had hold of the de- fendants suspenders at the time of the shooting, as contended by the defense, they would have been so near each other that there would have been powder burns on Father Coyle.
 Counsel for the defense said that mo man has the right to invade the home of another in an attempt to in duce any member of that household to accept a new religion" He con- tended that the minister had labored under "an uncomfortable impulse, '' and shot the priest, while temporarily insane.
