PUSH BUTTON PLAN
TO CALL TAXICABS
Commissioner Harriss Pro-
poses Trying 1t Out on
Fifth Avenue.
URGES LEGION OF HONOR
Tells Park Avenue Baptists
of Rewarding Drivers With
Good Records.
URGES LEGION OF HONOR

A push button system on Fifth ave-
nue. for the summoning of taXicabs from
their parking places on side streets, and
a taxicab drivers Legion of Honor
for those with good traffic records are
planned by the police. The plans were
revealed last night by Deputy Commits
soner John d. Harriss, in charge OF
the traffic division. at a supper given by
the Mems Bible Glass Of the Park Ave-
nue. Baptist Church, Park avenue and
Sixty-fourth street. John ID. Rockefel-
Ter, Jr., founder Of the class. was one
of the hosts.
Commissioner Harriss's plan has been
evolved mainly to eliminate the rowing
taxicab on Fifth avenue The cab
drivers will be allowed to park their
cars in the center of certain east and
Vest thoroughfares at about 800 feet
from the avenue. Push buttons at con-
venient points along the sidewalk on
the avenue will be used by patrons to
summon the car from its parking place.
The Legion of Honor Mr.. Harriss
intends, shall be n benefit both to the
taxicab operator in a business way ana
to the rider as an indication of careful
ness and 50 fety. When the legion is in
ated-Commlssioner Harriss said
that he was ready to bring the matter
before the Board of Estimate-all taxi
cab drivers will be considered eligible
to try for membership In the legion,
but they must be placed on probation
for one year. To each new member
of the Legion the Police Commissioner
will issue a shield or seal, which he may
place in some conspicuous place on his
car.
Mr.. Harriss said that citizens are con-
tinually urging him to go after those
taxi drivers with a stick" but that he
had reached the conclusion the only In
telligent way to handle such large
body of men--there are 10000 of them
was to do il In a more quiet way.
Commissioner Enrlght spoke Of New
York as being the most dangerous po-
lice sector in the country" despite which
the department had been able to handle
all emergencies without the help of State
or Federal troops. Traffic is the worst
problem the city had to face. he said.
and he predicted that unless more room
for vehicular movement was provided
the city's traffic would become muscle
bound" within a decade.
The Commissioner attacked the State
control of motor licenses, declaring that
the lame, the halt and the blind had no
difficulty in getting permission to drive
cars about the city. He characterized
motor accidents as 'manslaughter with
the consent of the State" and urged that
the power of issuing motor licenses In
the city should be placed in the hands
of the Police Department.

LINES LOSE $50, 100000
BY IMMIGRATION LAW
First and Second Class TraUel,
HoDeUer, Increases.

So far this year transatlantic steam
ship lines have suffered loss of about
S0Ooo0oo in revenue as consequence
of the operation of the Dillingham; law
restricting annual immigration. II is in
dicated by figures Of the North Atlantic
Conference.
Up to November 10. 1922. 179.16S fewer
passengers had Travelled westbound
third class than during the correspond
ing period last year and I41. .925 fewer
had travelled eastbound. a total loss Of
32l.093. The price of third class ticket
depends upon the port of origination
or destination. but averages about $50.
The loss in third class business was
partially compensated for BY an in

Our first plan, 1t really embraces all
of our other plans, is TO educate the
people We must point out the reInedi-
able faults they commit both as pedes-
trians and as drivers of automobiles.
We must convince them that they are
acting foolishly and against their best
interests-that they are injuring the pros

welfare of the community. We are going
to hold meetings wherever possible.
Commissioner Enright IS going to let
us have policemen. intelligent fellows.

want to get all the publicity we cen

tors hate us before we are through.
Nevertheless, feel that the papers VIII
treat us generously. The Idea which
we will seek to implant In every intelli-
gence Is perfectly simple. 1t Is, merely
be alert be cautious. In other words
all we will ask people TO do Is to keep
their wits about them and not let their
minds go wool gathering.
"As regards details. we may decide
that 1t would be a good thing to have
crossing paths painted in white lines
so that people would have no excuse
for not knowing precisely where to walk
when they cross streets. Something
must he done 70 stop this street cross

are used in other cities. Ordinances
provide fines for violators. In no city

KISSING ANOTHER GIRL
NOT DIVORCE GROUNDS
Doesn't PROVE Unfoithfulness,
SAYS Justice Morschouser.

The divorce suit brought by Mrs.
Louise Pease against Harry Pease, COM
poser of jazz and rag time tunes. was
thrown out OF court in White Plains
yesterday when Justice Morschauser
held that kissing is not misconduct suffl-
c.ent to warrant divorce. 1t had been
alleged that Pease had kissed a young
red-haired woman who was not Mrs.
Pease.
kissing does not make a cause of mis-
conduct" said, the Justice. Even IL tho
defendant kissed the young woman
good-by. as the witness testified, that
does not help in this case. l cannot draw
an Inference of misconduct. There is no
evidence OF any overt act. The sacred
ness of marriage must be protected un-
less the unfaithfulness of the erring
spouse is proven beyond the shadow
of doubt"
Justice Morschauser allowed Mrs.
Pease SIS weekly alimony and 800
counsel fees in suit for separation
charging abandonment.

II is the opinion OF the doctors and
the Medical Examiner that Mr.. Wssser-
mann intended that. in the event of his
shot failing to have the desired result, he
would slip into the partly filed tub
OF water and thus drown himself. When
he was found by the superintendent and

the water and he was breathing heavily,
but was unconscious. No one heard the
sound of the shot in the apartment

when Mr.. Wassermann came into his
apartment Sunday night.

uncle, Jesse Wassermann, was a member

without foundation. Sheriff Harper
said.
No arrests have been made as the
