First of all. don't get the idea that
California issues challenges TO Middle
Western universities in track or any
other sport unless California believes IT
is a Big Year. Count on California for
that. The team that beat the Tigers Is.

to form on a sport deh.
A second point: M%issourians had
made a long trip. Eastern teams Sener-
ally don't have much luck on the Coast.
In 1907 Eddie Cochems took the beat

lem or on the semester system. The idea
Of having commencement as early as l.
now the rule merely means that baseball
and track will go to pot toward the end
of the season. I'll bet Simpson lost
some wheel horses at the end OF the

NEW PLAN DOUBLES
9Th AVE. TRAFFIC
Platoon System, Outlined Be-
fore Engineers, Uses Sema-
phOres at Each Block.

A new system OF traffic regulation.
almost doubling the vehicular capacity
OF Fifth avenue and enabling a steady
stream OF automobiles to flow both
WAYS without Interruptions at crossings,
has been devised by Z. +. Goodrich, con-
sulting engineer. and was outlined last
night before the American Society or
Civil Engineers at SO West Thirty-ninth
street
The plan entails the substitution of
platoon system" now under consid-
Grafton in Cincinnati. for the present
signal system of lights. ana involves
the dispatch of squads OF automobiles
il, units of from one to five blocks
throughout the length of the avenue
with enough space between to permit
the flow of crosstown traffic at regular
intervals.
Semaphore signals at every block will
regulate speed and keep automobiles
moving simultaneously in each direction.
Experiments in Cincinnati have proved,
Mr.. Goodrich said, that vehicles could be
kept moving continuously at speed of
fifteen miles an hour under the platoon
system 1t was demonstrated scien-
tifically by wooden chart that suffi-
ciently wide gaps remain hetween
platoons to allow the normal passage of
crosstown vehicles.
"By the platoon system Mr.. Goodrich
said, traffic on Fifth avenue could be
substantially doubled. and the capacity
increased from $4,000 to 10000 vehicles
day without widening the thorough
fare"
Among other reforms suggested by
Mr.. Goodrich who was at cne time con-
sulting engineer of the Board of Esti-
mate, was the elimination by city ordi-
nance of the nuisance Of parking auto
mobiles at the curb" and the segrega-
ton of special roadways for horse drawn
vehicles. He pointed out that a law had
recently been enacted in Seattle pro-
hibiting horses on the streets of the
city five years hence.
"rhe use of streets for anything but
moving traffic is destructive of the idea
to which streets are dedicated" he said.
"and the general tendency throughout
the country is to do away with parking
at the curb. Many theatres, department
stores and business buildings are ar
ranging to have vehicles load and un-
load within the limits of the structure.

JUSTICE SAYS DAVIS
CONTINUES INSANE
Can't See How Slayer Can
Change SO Quickly After
Escaping Chair.
REFUSES TO SIGN ORDER
Plan to Have Chemist Act at
Matteawan in 100000
Action Fails.

Justice Aspinall of the Supreme Court
In Brooklyn refused yesterday to sign
an order allowing Charles T. Davis, a
chemist, now in the State Hospital for
the Insane at Matteawan for killing
Detective Joseph It. Bridgetts last Feb
iuary, to verify the answers to two ac-
lions for 100000 damages each. At
tached to the application for the order
was the statement of DIR. William y.
Pritchard. alienist. of 143 West Seventy
second street, that Davis is now compe-
tent to manage his business affairs, as
in the last twenty years
I'll sign no such order" the Justice
said DIR. Pritchard in June found the
defendant an idiot an imbecile, and in
capable of understanding proceedings or
of making defense to his indictment for
murder Now he finds him competent
mentally to manage his affairs and TO
conduct his business. Apparently the de-
fendant is insane when it comes to a
question of indictment for murder. but
when it comes to a question of taking
money out of his pocket he is sane and
able to manage his affairs. II he is
sane the proper thing to do is to try him
in Brooklyn for the murder"
When Davis killed Detective Bridgetts
In his office, 221 Duffield street. he also
shot Detective Edward G. McGlone and
George w. Horan, an insurance adjuste-.
They are now suing for damages. Az
part Of his defense Daviss counsel
sought to have him verify answers at
Matteawan. but the authorities there
said a court order was necessary. His
counsel, b. T. Kerfoot. went before JUS
tice Aspinall.
Mr.. kerfoot told the court that the
nf he oil let 4
the mental condition of Davis is not
inconsistent with his testimony in June.
"Dr. Pritchard's opinion ;hen." said
the lawyer was that the defendant was
a paranoiac and suffering from homicidal
mania. He simply says now that the
defendant is sufficiently clear in mind
to consider business matter. He does
not say the defendant is sane"
We'll. ! refuse to sign the order" the
Court said. "A committee FOR the de-
fendant's property should be named

that Senator Newberry's friends had ex-
pended a minimum Of $200.o00 used in

hibits him from spending more than

Party Under Indictment.'
Senator Underwood declared he would
be recreant to his duty as Senator IL
he did not say that 'it is not Newberry
that is under indictment here; 1t Is the
Republican party"
Addressing the Republican side of the
Chamber. he said: you have been just
as pronounced as we in advocating this
class OF legislation prohibiting unlimited
expenditures in elections. and the ques-
ton is whether you put the laws there
with the intention of hon nastly enforcing
them or merely to yield to sentiment
with the intention of violating them as
they were violated in the Michigan cleo
tion.
IF you confirm his title to the seat
you confirm the action or his committee
in making these enormous expenditures
III you do this we as the minority party
will carry the issue to the American
people and condemn you for your ac-
ton"
Senator owen (Okla.) introduced as n
substitute the following resolution:
That Truman III. Newberry is not
entitled to a seat in this body be-
cause his relatives and friends
against a sound pupiic policy con-
fessedly expended approximately
100000 at the primary election to
acquire thu nomination for him; be-
cause such a precedent would be
harmful to the honor and dignity of
the Senate Of the United States and
contrary to the best interests OF the
United States Government
Senator Owen called attention to Sem
ator Newberry's indictment and con-
victlon under Republican Judge and
jury of twelve men. eleven of whom were
Republicans. on the ground of conspi-
racy to violate the laws of the United
States relating to corrupt practices
in elections. He said Newberry only
escaped the penitentiary on the technical
ground that Congress had exceeded its
authority in limiting expenditures in
primary elections, but that tfe Supreme
Court in rendering it's decision had ex-
pressly said:
AS each House shall be the Judge
OF the elections, qualifications and
returns of its own members the
national Government is nor without
power to protect itself against cor
ruption. fraud or other maiign infiu-
ence."
