RAIL CROSSING
TRAFFIC TOWER
|SRECOMMENDED
Safety Board to Cooperate
lin Trying Out
Method.

Erection of traffic towers from
where watchmen could control sew
eral crossings in each direction by
signal lights operated from the tower
was suggested by P. ]. Landers,
president of the Indianapolis Union
Railway to safeguard belt crossings
In the city.
Landers appeared before the board
Of safety pointing out that the pres
ent ordinance, passed in 1917, was
obsolete and impractical. The board
appointed John Barry, city electri-
clan. to cooperate with the beit road
officials in building a trial tower.
I'VE want to do anything reason
able to correct the present situation,
said Landers. Mayor Shank approved
the tower system.
Warning bells and crossing gates
are impractical under the present
traffic condition. Landers said. Con
stapt switching sometimes causes a
bell to ring continually when the
train never reaches a crossing. Oper-
alton of gates is slow, and more &C
cidents are caused by automobiles
crashing into them or getting caught
between them than are recorded by
locomotives striking automobiles
Landers said.
Mayor Shank urged repeal of tbs
present ordnance requiring, watch
men and bells and drafting of d new
odinance Incorporating the watch
tower system. LandeTs invited city
officials to make a tour Of the bell
lines and give suggestions for new
safety measures.

Transforming in private car

attack upon Daugherty, who. he
said. lis the best living example of
the corrupt influence that has taken
over the reins Of our government.
New Developments
The recent sudden turn of events
in our investigation of the Depart

ing a hold Daugherty still has on
the department and the courts, ."
Wheeler said.
"Daugherty has given out an al

fore our committee discriminating the
former attorney general. Means says
that he did not repudiate his testi-
mony.
After he testified against Daugh-

cry. He told me then that he had
been approached by Blair COan, the
detective who was working foT the
Republican national committee, that
Coan wanted him to repud-ate his
story. and that in return Coan would
