CITIZENS CONDEMN
TRAFFIC HANDLING
Southwest Group Adopts Re-
port From Expert-Yeat-
man Reelected.

A report on traffic conditions in
Washington denouncing some features
of the present administration was read
last night by President George NJ
Yeatman before the Southwest Citi-
Zens' Association.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Yeatman re-
ceived a request for a special meet
ing to discuss traffic conditions and
the denotion of capt. Albert ]. Head
ley, who is q member of this organiZa-
ton. Upon advice of other officers.
President Yeatman said. il was de
cided first to investigate. and a rec
ogniZed traffic expert was employed
to make survey.
Various Features Hit. e
The name of the expert was with
held. but the report brought in by
the president scored various fea ares
of the traffic regulations, including
headlights. parking and bus permits.
and declared a lack of confidence in
the traffic director. =:
The association adopted the report
and, after assailing what was termed
inefficiency in the Traffic Bureau and
incompetence at the head, it was de
cided to table the matter until the
next meeting, when formal action will
De taken. MdTtln W Ieg3nu spoke, IN
praise of the officials. and urged that
condemnation of Traffic Bureau heads
and regulations be withheld until aft
er fair trial, and then not until sofne
concrete suggestions could be put for
ward to remedy the situation.
Headley Custer Up. J:
Objection to the section of they're
port having reference to the demo
ton of Capt. Headley was raised: by
Mr. Hartwell, who said that takjng
action now opposing the den1otfon,
in the face of his endeavor at q Tre
vious meeting to offer a resolution
condemninE the manner In whick.af
fairs were conducted in Headley'S: Of
flee, when he was ruled out of order,
would place the association in a::po
sition of blowing hot and cold Il on
the same question. Objection Nas
raised by II. A. REM on the usurpa
tion of a large amount of parking
space in the downtown section by
busses, but action on this subject was
deferred.
The annual election of officers re-
suited in the unanimous selection of
Mr.. Yeatman to represent the as
sociation as president for the fifth
consecutive term. Other officers
chosen were: Vice president, Mr.. VIE
gand; secretary. Richard T.. Harris;
treasurer. George L. Dant. and dele
gates to the Federation of Citizens
Associations, Mr.. Yeatman and H. A.

be respected, then all law is threat
ened.
THE ratio of crime In America has
long been higher than that in any
other land. The accessibility of un-
guarded wealth, the high standards
of living and the luxury displayed
before those who do not care to work
hard, the breakdown of home life,
the influx of aliens with different
social standards, the aftermath of the
war years when the Nation organized
itself destructively, the lack of es-
tablished traditions in society new
ly a'ich-all these have been among
the primary. causes of our lawleSSneSs.
Scarcely less important. however,
are the secondar ycauseS-the failures
to erect barriers against the tide of
crime. The inadequate penalties inn
posed on convicted criminals, the easy
paroles and pardonS granted. the de-
lays in court procedure, the abuse of
constitutional guarantees in favor of
the bandit and against society and
his victim, inadequate bonds which
are not collected even when for
feited. the involved and technical
court procedure which turns "a court
of justice into a game of skill be-
tween lawyers-all these are making
lawlessness safe just as the primary
causes make it profitable.
Behind these causes there stands
the Indifference of the people who
are unwilling to pay the price for
clean government. When the Ameri-
can citizen carefully watches the
election or appointment of judges and
prosecuting attorneys and demands
that only honest and efficient men be
named; when he ceases to evade jury
duty himself: when he purges our
courts of the professional juryman
and bondman ard the shyster lawyer.
then the atmosphere of our courts
will favor justice and not crime, as
today

"A constructive program to remedy,
existing social evils is the need of the

and sit silent as to remedies is as
futile as to philosophize on the causes

Crier's Tinkling

LONDON. September 1.-THE mu-
sical tones of the voice of J. An
derson, town crier of Abertrider,
Glamorganshire, Wales, has won him
the British town criers' championship.
even though his voice could not be
heard miles away. as was the case
of some of the believing of other
contestants. All day yesterday at
Pewsey Village, in Wiltshire, England,
scores of variations of "O'yez, o'yez
oyer carried into the hills about
with resounding echoes. But the
judges disregarded this long distance
qualification when they heard Ander
son do his bit. His voice is described
as like the tinkle of glass amplified
10000 times.

looking for plea sure and amusement
by night If not by day. They find the
city, clean In nearly all of it's aspects
and safe, despite the capital which
was made of the crime records in the
recent political unpleasantne
However. to the minds of many of
the old timers, reformers and sports
alike, there IS an association of ideas
between the Tammany tiger and the
red light. In the good old days.
when men were men," the tiger
never was pictured in cartoon with
out a red lantern tied to his tail.
But conditions have changed. Public
opinion has changed. 1t has been
found there can be plenty of liberal
pleasures left to the world without
a return to the period of open vice,
living by police regulation and graft.
New Workers laughed openly at the
Hylan charges that the red lights
were coming back to this fair city,
that gambling hells would spring up
at every corner and that the under
world would flourish from one end
of the city to the other. Some of
the ever-hopeful sports prayed that
the mayor might be right; all sane
citizens knew he was wrong. Gov
Al Smith was not only the central
figure, but the bOndSman In this
primary election. The people know
what he stands for, and they rather
like the Al Smith brand of wicked

May Figure IN Campaign.
Nevertheless the cry of the "open
town" still may be heard in the com
ing campaign. The Republican COM
mittee in charge of the campaign to
be waged against Walker Is headed
by Charles D. Hilles, vice chairman of
the Republican national committee
and at one time secretary to President
Taft. The presence Of Mr.. Hilles at
the helm insures a clean campaign so
far as the Republicans are concerned
with an appeal to the people to put a
business man at the head of their
affairs at a time when business acu-
men, rather than political popularity
may be needed.
But the remnants of the Hearst.
Hylan personal machine will continue
to fight Tammany and AL Smith in the
old orthodox way, and from such
sources the red light, open town
charges will be broadcast in ever.in.
creasing fury.
