AS result of numerous COM
plants received by Chief of Police

campaign has been started to pre-
vent this. Chief Dunn has been per-

ial motor cycle policeman especially
for duty within the city, and the
Chief has appointed Harold Cook
for this position. For any cases that
are beyond the immediate reach Of
the local force Officer Cook will be
available. Residents of Dresden ave-
nue. have been the chief complain
ants about speeding. several report
ing that all hours in the day, and
especially late at night cars have
sped down the avenue. and they fail
to see any reason why this should
be allowed. especially as there is no
objective. the Oaklands. the Gardi-
diner estate being closed to automo-
biles. Brunswick avenue Is another
street where. the trouble Is in evil
dence, as we'll as on Central street.
and Lincoln avenue. The Chief an
nounced that he is giving warning
to offenders that Officer Cook is to
be stationed on these streets, and
that any speed fiends will be punish
ed to the full extent of the law.

New York. June 25-Loading Of
revenue freight for the week ended
June IA totaled 902,71O cars, a de-
crease of 1897 under the week be-
fore and a decrease of 106,128 COM
pared with the corresponding week
of 1923, the American Railway as
ISOLATION reports. Only the central
western district reported an increase
over the week before in the total
loading of all commoditis.
Just when the stage was being
set for a rally in the oil shares, the
news came from Washington that
the government had filed suit against
$50 oil companies, alleging a conspir-
acy against the Sherman antitrust
law in connection with refining pro-
cesses. Reports were published earl
Ter of reduction in crude oil out
put last week and of an increasing
demand for gasoline. Declines of /
to nearly 2 points in a dozen promi-
nent shares followed but persistent
strength in other parts of the list
checked the decline.
Growing agitation for an increase
in trans-Atl antic passenger rates is
reported in steamship circles. De-
spite recent intimations from ship
ping leaders that no immediate
changes were contemplated, it Is said
that some Of the largest comps MES
are considering a revision of rates to
offset increased operating costs, re-
sulting from higher wages and fuel
prices.
