held conversation with him several
minutes.
Pedestrians Are Terrified.
In the meantime he worked his
semaphore mechanically, without
blowing his whistle as warning and
apparently without looking to see
that his crossings were clear Of either
pedestrians or vehicles. AS a result
many disturbing things happened. A
street car got the signal to dart
ahead while at least a score of Pc
destrians were squarely in front Of 1t
and less than yard from the motor
mans platform. Automobiles were
obliged to elbow" other terrified
pedestrians from their path
At the same corner three telegraph
messengers rode their bicycles direct
ly against traffic and into groups Of
pedestrians trying to reach the oppoE
site curb in safety. The policeman
made no effort to interfere and kicked
playfully at one of the boys as he
cycled past his semaphore nlawfully,
with the stop sign set against him.
The boy might not only have been
killed him self, but could very easily
have run into an elderly man or
woman and seriously injured them
Whistle Is Neglected.
Conditions were scarcely better at
Ninth and G streets. The policeman
on duty there blew his whistle, it
seemed, when the spirit moved him,
and the remainder of the time he
turned his semaphore without ex-
pending the energy necessary to raise
the whistle to his lips and blow it,
He did not adopt such a paternal at
titude toward street car motormen,
taXicab drivers and cyclists, however.
No improvement could be noticed
at Eleventh and G streets. There the
officer blew his whistle, but he might
just as well have spared himself the
effort. SO small a fraction Of a sec
ond elapsed between the blast of the
whistle and the turning of the sema-
phore that not even mountain goat
could have lcaped to safety in time.
In other words, observation a the
four corners showed the traffic squad
to be 10 per cent negligent and def
cient. Only one OF the four attempt
ed TO enforce the law, but he did il
mighty well. Apparently he listened
we'll to Inspector Headleys orders
and could teach the other three quite
a few things in the matter Of obe-
dience and efficiency.
Inspector Headley empha sized two
points in addressing the traffic squa d
at roll call yesterday afternoon on
the use of their whistles. Stated
briefly, they were:
You need not blow your whistles
all day long if it is not necessary.

But, when 1t is necessary to blow
the whistle TO warn persons in the
middle of the street, be sure you
leave an interval between the whistle
and the changing of the signal"
The inspector told the men again
that they must be the judges of how
many seconds should elapse at their
respective corners between the blow
ing of the whistle and the turning of
the sign.
The traffic chief admitted in dis>
cussing the question after roll call
that unless the officers allow an in
terVal to elapse between the whistle
and the changing of the sign the ad-
vantage of the warning is lost.

Thursday by Inspector HeadleX to
make special check-up of how the
whistle rule was being foflowe ed

while none of the men was leaving is
seconds elapse, they were all allow
ing time for pedestrians to reach the
sidewalk
The inspector explained that there
is no definite 15-second rule in effect.
it having been decided to permit each
officer to determine how many sec
opds should be allowed, according to
conditions prevailing at any given
time.
The sergeant reported that he
questioned a number of men in the
downtown section. and they told him
they were endeavoring to exercise
their Judgment as to the length of
time between whistle and signal.
Il do not expect you to blow your
whistles all day If traffic is light and
there are only one or two people in
the street the inspector told the
squad. When conditions require the
whistle, leave the required interval.
You must judge whether it should be
three, four or eight seconds"
When the inspector had finished d
his talk he asked any man who did
not understand the instructions 10
