NEW TRAFFIC PLAN
WORKING BETTER
Officers, After Lecture, Con-
form to "WhistIe" Rule.
Pedestrians Criticized.

A hasty survey of downtown inter
sections during the rush hour this
morning indicated that traffic officers
generally were blowing their whistles
before turning the signals, but they
had not all grasped the idea Of leav-
ing a sufficient interval between the
whistle and the "go" sign to clear
the intersections.
Inspector Albert J. Headiey, chief
Of the traffic bureau, assembled half
of his force of crossing men at the
traffic bureau yesterday afternoon
and told them that they must OBJ
serve the rule of blowing their
whistles and leaving an interval of
time before turning the signs.
The inspector made his talk to the
men following publication in The
Evening Star of observations made
Thursday afternoon, showing that the
traffic men were not waiting long
enough after blowing the whistle to
permit moving vehicles to clear the
crossing before releasing traffic on
the adjacent street.
Says. Pedestrians Do Not Help.
Remember" said the inspector
facing the officers assembled for roll
call. you must blow your whistles
and then leave an interval long
enough to get the crossing reasona-
bly, clear of moving traffic and pc
destrians. We know that the pedes-
trian Is not cooperating by obeying
the whistle, but you mean must do
your part
1T is not hard to do, but il you
should happen to get confused just
let your signal stand the way il is
until you regain control of the sit
uation. I'm going to get around my
self and I'm going to have big sign
put up on the wall here, where you
will see it every day, Blow Your
Whistles"
The inspector explained later that
he used the expression reasonably
clear" in referring to the interval of
time that should elapse between the
whistle and the changing of the sign
because he felt that some judgment
should be left to the officer in deter
mining the proper moment to turn
the sign.
A glance at several intersections
this morning bore out the inspectors
contention that the pedestrians have
not yet realized their responsibility
of crossing a busy corner only while
the traffic is moving in the same di-
rection.
When the whistle blows the walker
who has not stepped off the curb
should halt until the traffic again
moves in his or her direction.
When the whistle blows the motor
list who has not yet passed the build
ing line should stop and the driver
who has started across should keep
going.
The cooperation of pedestrians in
moving only with the "go" sign is
essential to the successful operation
of the new system, police officials
say.

Foreign Office Says No Action Con.
templated by London.

by the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 25.-The British
foreign office takes the view that
the decision Of the Mexican govern :
ment to close all of it's consulates in
Great Britain will have little effect.
1t is pointed out that no negotia-
tions have been going on between
Great Britain and Mexico for the
latter's recognition since the break
ing down of the informal canversa-
;ions last Spring
Meantime, the British government
has no diplomatic representatives in
Mexico, maintaining only consular
Offices, which the decision of the
Mexican foreign minister will not
affect
The viewpoint here is that pend
ing overtures by Mexico, Great
Britain cannot take any steps look
ing toward recognition. 1t was ex-
pected that President-Elec Gales
on his recent European trip. might
have again brought up the question
but he sailed for home, announcing g
he would not visit England.
At the present time there is no
heavy shipping between Britain and
Mexico, but the withdrawal of the
offices in the dominions might be ex-
pected to have some effect on trade.
Negotiations between the two coun-
tries regarding the matter may be
initiated through the American en-
bassy in Mexico City, which has
taken over British diplomatic affairs
there.

May Ask Further Data.
Without making any comment upon
either of these communications, the
President said that he is greatly inter
ested in Washington. and that he has
on several occasions conferred with au-
thorties regarding the housing situation
and about the future development of the
city He said, however, that the last
one of these conferences was when he
had before him the matter of extending
the life of the District Rent Commission.
At the time. while not convinced that
the housing condition was such as to
cause any uneasiness. he approved the
extension of the commission because of
the Governments peculiar duty to the
majority of the residents here
The President intimated that he
might in the near future seek more en-
lightenment regarding the true housing
situation here. ~
Mx. Taylor Backs Claim.
In reference to the letter of the
w aShlnSton Real Estate Board to
President Coolidge yesterday de-
claring statements in regard 10
wholesale eviction of tenants in the
District were grossly exaggerated"
Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor of the Rent
Commission stated today that she
could prove 1000 cases and more.
II will prove that 1000 notices
have been served. and that is a con-
servative estimate. at the proper
place and the proper time. The

a place of trial." declared Mrs. TaJ-s
lor. who stated that all the evicdbn
notices probably were not legal
notices, but that she knew that there
were 1000 notices sent to tenants
telling them to quit the premises"
Mrs. Taylor declared that 1t was
her intention to stay on the Rent
Commission as long as she was use
full. II am not afraid of these people.
because the truth and right is on
my side. I am not fighting for my
lob as some people accuse. l am
fghting for the principle of the
thing" said Mrs. Taylor. who reiter-
ated her statement made the other
day that she challenged any one
to find in any OF her decisions as
rent commissioner anything biased
to either tenant or landlord"
