counted by a drop into new low

market was stimulated by the great
improvement shown IN the Federal
banking statements.
The eserv ratio for the local in
Ssution jumped to 1871 against EOS

biggest gain scored in a single week
in recent banking history. For the

vanced to 1872 against I'll a week
ago.

POLICE ARE WARNED
TO GET BOOTLEGGERS
Oyster Orders Precinct Captains
Not to Wait Idly for
Vice Squad.

A/warning to police captains not
to wait for the vice squad to go into
their precincts and find liquor viola
tions was sounded today by Commits
sioner Oyster.
The Commissioner said the special
squad. headed by Lieut.. o. T. Davis
and Sergt. James E. McQuade, ap-
peared to be doing most of the
prohibition enforcement work in the
department.
He expressed the feeling that IL
that squad can go into a precinct and
mako cases against bootleggers, the
officers who are assigned to and
operate every day in those precincts
should be able to find the vfoIators,
Commissioner Oyster intimated that
he would hold precinct captains re-
sponsible for inability to make ar
rests IL the vice squad succeeds
No precincts were singled out by
the Commissioner in his discussion OF
prohibition enforcement. The point
he desired to convey to the men was.
he said, that the regular precinct off,
GERS must take an active part in up
holding the Volstead act and not as
sumo that 1t is the exclusive duty of
the vice squad.

TRAFFIC BOULEVARDS
: TO BE PERFECTED
District Engineers Will Confer on
Establishing Main Arteries
of Travel.

A comprehensive plan for the de-
velopment of a score Of main high
ways of the District into traffic boule-
wards will be taken up for considera-
tion tomorrow at a conference of the
three assistant engineer commission
ers, it became known today.
Only a few extensions into unde-
veloped territory will be necessary to
perfect the plan as tentatively work.
ed out on maps by Capt John E.
Wood. The principal aim In carrying
out the scheme will be to. take the
main arteries that now exist and put
them in such condition throughout
their entire length that traffic will
naturally flow to them.
Maj. w. H. Holcombe, Maj. Ray
mond Wheeler and Capt. Wood, the
assistant commissioners, are combining
their study of the plan solely to the
engineering features. II special traf-
fic rules are desired on these main
arteries, they will be considered by
the traffic biard, on which the cor
poration counsel and the traffic bu-
reau are represented by Ringgold
Hart and Inspector Headley.
