Sees NO URGENT NEED
FOR MORE BLEACHERS
Park Commissioner Realizes De-
mand But Says Other Things
Are More Important

That the members Of the board
Of park commissioners want more
bleachers at Willow Brook park
and would like to see enough
blenchers there to take care Of the
demand but feel that 1t Is not wise
TO spend tn, money at the present
time TO provide them, Ia the opin-
ion expressed by Commissioner
Max ell s. Porter.
Mr.. Porte" stated that bloacher
seats cost about 81 apiece and that
enough beachers TO accommodate
5000 people would mean that the
park board would have about SILL
900 tied up in bleachers. He did
not think It was wise, 10 view OF
the demand for SO many other I'm.
provements to put all the money
In one place.
The boa-d has petitions for base
ball diamonds In the North End
park, for tennis courts in the south
end. for park buildings, tool houses
shower baths, etc, and the compls'
sioner feels that some of these are
more urgent than additional bleach
ers, Although" he adds. 1.-THE
whole board would like to see more

Asked what he thought Of this
Suggestion made by Representative

the rail lines in actual practice. Ex-
perimental tracks were in some cases
installed for this purpose, but these
could not reproduce the actual work
ing conditions. Thus much Of the
work up to a very recent period in
the development OF these devices was
theoretical. 1t was the thought Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission that
compulsion would be the surest means
Of rapidly developing dependable
methods of train control
Whether radio or direct electric cur
rent is used, 1t is evident that the
time has come for the installation on
our American trunk lines, and all rail
lines, in fact, on which trains run on
frequent Roadway, of some means Of
hating trains automatically when
danger points are reached or passed.
The element of human error is too
great. The factor Of possible mechani-
cal failure is less than the possibility
of human error. With the automatic
device as a final safeguard, train col.
lisions and derailments through dis
placements Of the track become i'm
possible.

A Steel-Vested Criminal.

Law and order was dealt another
blow yesterday when a steel-vested
criminal, wanted for the murder of
a Department of Justice operative.
escaped unscathed from a police trap
in Chicago after seriously wounding
a detective and causing the death Of
the uncle of his sweetheart, at whose
apartment he had taken refuge, by
misdirected police fire.
A tip was received at Chicago po-
lice headquarters that the wanted
man." Marty Durkin. probably would
be at the apartment of Betty Werner.
The informant was her uncle, Lloyd
Austin. Police surrounded the build
ing, and picked men We're sent in
Durkin began firing Immediately and
wounded a detective. Others joined
the fray, and Austin was fatally
wounded. Durkin, although SEEM
ingly struck by point-blank shots.
jumped from the second story win
dow uninjured and escaped Police
claim that this is the second time
that a steel vest has saved the life
of Durkin in battles with them.
If it is true that this desperate
criminal has made use of protective
armor to make him invulnerable to
gunf1re, 1t is high time that city ad-
ministrations begin looking about for
similar protection for the guardians
Of the law.
1t is a one-sided battle at best be-
tween police and the lawless element
because police are allowed to shoot
only in defense Of their lives, while
the criminal can kill on sight.
Certainly every protection should
be accorded, those who day and night
stand for law and order and who I'M
hesitatingly face extreme peril that
the community may be safeguarded.

New York All Set for Tuesday

Next Tuesday New York will vote
for mayor and other municipal offices,
the mayoralty race lying between
Walker, Democrat, and Waterman,
Republican. Betting on Walker is ten
to one The odds have favored the
Democratic candidate from the start,
when it became evident that Mayor
Hylan would not run on third ticket
for a third term. They have increased
as indications have shown that the
mayor would not bolt the Tammany
ticket, and yesterday they were further
heightened when the mayor declared
that he would support the Democratic
candidate because he Is Democrat
in practice as well as in declaration,
and because the candidates have
pledged themselves to support the
policies Of his administration. There
upon the mayors principal newspaper
supporter declared for Walker.
So it is all over but the shouting.
New York will have a Democratic
mayor, as 1t usually has. Gov. Smith
will have won a victory in preventing
the denomination and reelection Of
Mayor Hylan. He is now concerned
not in the mayoralty, which is fore
gone conclusion. but in the issue Of
State bonds for public improvements,
