DEFECTIVE BRAKES ON HALF OF AUTOS
Police Start Campaign to Dis
 cover Faulty Mechanism

Fifty per cent Of the automobiles tested by the police this morning in lhe opening Of the campaign insti- tuted by Chief William c. Hart against defective brakes were found in good condition, while the other so per cent were found to have at least one Of the brakes not working properly. The report submitted to the chief by Sergeant John J. King, who is in charge of the testing showed that 26 machines had been tested and lS Of them found want ing.
 East Main street near the North X Judd factory was the locaton.Ee- lected by Sergeant King for the first tests. and he hailed machines pass ins the spot, ordering drivers to stop and undergo the test that was ap- piled by his assistants, Motorcycle Policemen William P Hayes and William z. Strolls
 Only one machine in the 2f was found 10 have both brakes defec- tive, and two other machines were found 10 have defective footbrakcs. The emergency brakes on the ve- hicles seemed 10 be the most neg lected for II out ot the 26 ma chimes were not properly equipped with these brakes.
 Autolsts, after reading in last nights Herald announcing the open ing of the campaign today, had their curiosity about the white lines that were painted on the pavements about the city satisfied, and many of them lost no time going to the testing places 10 try out their brakes before the police nabbed them Residents living in the vicinity of the testing grounds were supplied with q great deal of amusement watching the autoists try out their brakes. The East Main street To- cation seemed to be the favorite To- cation and a large number of ma chimes were there until q late hour last night getting in trim for to- days tests
 Some Of the drivers were so pleased with the performances ot their brakes that they remained to test them out as many as ten times. but on the other hand some of the drivers made themselves scarce after enc test when they found that they failed to stop within the required distance
 Chief Hart said that the results Of this mornings s tests clearly show the need of such campaign, remarkins that it Uas almost unbelievable to learn of the large percentage of ma chimes with faulty emergency brakes.
