STREET CARS KEEP
FULL RIGHT OF WAY
Will Stop at Some Boulevard
Crossings, However, Un- ?
der Agreement.

Street cars will stop at some of the
boulevard crossings and proceed at
others, but signs will be erected on
all of the boulevard highways warn
ing motorists to exercise care in APP
preaching street car tracks, according
To the agreement arrived at yesterday
afternoon at a conference between
city officials and the heads of the rail
way companies.
When the conference ended there
remained only 10 intersections out of
the long list at which car tracks cross
boulevards on which the COnfereeS
were unable to agree as to whether
street cars should stop before crossing
The Utilities Commission Will decide
what should be done in these 10 cases
and then prepare a formal order de
fining just what the street cars shall
do at all boulevard crossings.
1t was decided to station policemen
to regulate traffic at approximately
20 of the intersections, which removed
any question as to whether street cars
should stop at those boulevards.
Nine Stops Eliminated.
In the case of a number of other in.
tersections the railway companies
agreed to stop. In nine other in
stances Acting Traffic Director Moller
agreed that the street ears should not
be required to stop before crossing.
1t also was announced following the
conference that street cars do not lose
the right of way over boulevard traf-
fc even al those points at which they
will stop. 1t was explained that this
means after a street car has stopped
at a boulevard it will not have to wait
for long line of boulevard traffic to
pass.
hpf ha Ct str n a
boulevard or not there will be a sign
on the boulevard reminding vehicle
drivers that street car tracks are
short distance ahead.
The 10 intersections on which the
conferees were unable to agree are:
Twenty second and + streets, Rhode
Island avenue at New Jersey avenue,
Seventh, Ninth. Eleventh and Florida
avenue; Massachusetts avenue at
Ninth, New York avenue at Seventh,
and 6th street at + and G streets
No Objection Raised.
Points at which the companies had
no objection to stopping are: Eight
eenth and L streets. Rhode Island
avenue at Fourth street, North Capt.
tol street and Fourth street north
east. Vermont avenue at Eleventh
street, Pennsylvania avenue at FIT
teenth and Seventeenth streets south
east. and Eleventh and q streets
southeast.
The 20 or more points at which
policemen would be stationed have not
been announced. All of the officials
who took part in the conference
seemed satisfied at the solutions ar
rived at. The car companies. had OBJ
jected to stopping the cars at all
boulevards, contending it would delay
service.
Col Moller explained that the traf-
fic department never intended TO de
prive street cars of the right of way
in requesting them TO stop before
crossing a boulevard.

PROHIBITION IS COSTING BIG SUM
 SAY STATISTICS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 2. (P)-- Failure to apply adequate remedies to curb diversion of industrial all cohol and manufacture of "high-pow- cred" beer was laid at the door of the Federal government last night by the Research and Education De- partment of the Federal Council of Churches in making public an addi- tional section of it's report on the social consequences of prohibition.
 There is no visible reason why the illicit removal of alcoholic beer from 'breweries' cannot be effectu- ally controlled" said the report "The beer problem would seem to be wholly soluble, although it has been one of the scandals of the pro- hibition regime.
 "The diversion of industrial alco- hol presents at present the hardest task of enforcement. Yet there is no excuse for the abuses that have developed, and there is no reason why the government cannot, with reasonable diligence, control the sit uation."
 Discussing at length other enforce ment problems, the report declared that smuggling continued to present many difficult aspects, although the total amount thus being brought into the United States at present lis not great enough to make 1t more than a minor phase of the enforcement problem" that the homebrew indus try had been virtually eliminated that statements with reference to the growth of an illicit wind industry have been much exaggerated" that small scale manufacture of bootleg whiskey still lis extremely preva- lent in some section" and that an- nual withdrawals of liquor from bond ed warehouses have been reduced to "inconsiderable quantities"
 The report also contained a com pilation of costs of prohibition en- forcement placing the total for the present fiscal year which ends next July at $19,319,S17. This figure in- cluded Coast Guard expenditures oc- casioned by the operations against rum running. The expenditures of the prohibition officials themselves, including operations against both li- quor and drug offenders, were list ed as having climbed from $2,O59,- TIA on 1920 to a high water mark of sS,135,S42 in 1923 and were give1 as $7,5O9,146 for 1924 and s6,631,21 for the first nine months of 1925.
 In a foreward, the report cited sta tistics as to the effect of prohibi- ton already made public, and con tinued
 "The common and plausible an swer to all these statistical state ments is that prohibition has pro- duced limited results because we
Seward daily gateway., 1925-10-02

have had only a very limited meas ure of enforcement-that the inef- fectivenss of the prohibition re- gime, insofar as 1t is ineffective, is due to a lack of forcib1e administra- tion of the law. It is needless to dwell upon the extent of non-en- forcement of the prohibition laws. It's more serious aspects are well known and freely admitted It would be idle to contend of course, that anything like the amount of liquor is consumed in the United States that was consumed prior to 1920. No statistics are necessary to warrant the assumption that with scores of thousands of saloons closed so far as the free and public sale of liquor is concerned,-an th1 vast major ity- of them closed altogether-the liquor traffic has been enormously reduced. Frequent attempts have been made to estimate the percen- tage of such reduction. but there
 no valid or authoritative basis for such estimates.
 Moreover, the challenge of the present situation is independent of the relative extent 9: post-prohibi- ton and prohibition drinking. The problem is chiefly moral pro- blem, arising out cf the widespread violation of the law. It is notewor- thy that even in those inland areas where there is evidence of growing success in the enforcement of the law the characteristic evils arising out of it's violation are found in dis quieting measure. From conserva- tive, fairly homogeneous communi- ties of the West and South come tales of persistent violations. The seizures of liquor stills ia southern states reach as astonishing figure, and even the smal' est communities are not free from the illicit business or the social and political effects hat universally flow ;rorc it The evil effects Of the continuing traffic Seem 10 be away OH; of proportion to it's actual quantity.
