The system would be put into effect, he said, shortly after the new year.
 Among the first step to be taken. he said, would be the creation of five bandit zones" covering the en- tire city. Tn each zone there will be headquarters where ten bandit-chas- ing motor cars will be stationed, with a force of men to handle them, ready for emergency calls.
 General Butler said it had tenta- lively been decided 10 install 5000 signal lights and telegraph ticker boxes at important intersections These lights would be flashed from a central headquarters to attract po- licemen and signal them to the boxes for instructions concerning bandits. He explained that as soon as holdup was reported to City hall these signals would flash and police could close in on the bandits before they culd get out Of the territory. The boxes would be equipped with telephone operated by a lever which could be pulled by anY citizen.
