POLICEMEN At CURB
URGED BY FENN|NG
Control of Pedestrians
Makes Boston Traffic Law
a Success, He Says.

After studying traffic conditions in
Boston, Commissioner Frederick A.
Fenning returned to Washington to-
day, convinced that full cooperation
by pedestrians in crossing downtown
intersections at the proper time is
essential If good traffic results are to
be obtained.
II believe that most of the success
Boston has attained in traffic control
is due to the high degree of co-opera-
ton on the part of pedestrians there, 4"
the Commissioner said. 1T appeared
to me that 29 out of 80 persons moved
across busy corners at the proper
time, and the one who would start
across against traffic would be directed
by a policeman to watt
Col. Fenning said he noticed that
Boston has one, two or three police
men at the curb lines to assist in regu-
lation, the number depending on the
density of traved at each intersection.
Plan Tested Here.
Just before Commissioner Fenning
left on his vacation in Maine the local
traffic authorities stationed four extra
policemen at Fourteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue to encourage
pedestrians to walk with the "Go" sig
nal instead of crossing when traffic
is moving across their path
After the officers had been there for
week the police department directed
all traffic policemen downtown to use
two-whfstle signals in directing traffic.

however, that the local police force

number of men that would be needed
to direct pedestrians at all busy in
tersections as was done at Fourteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue for
one week.
Commissioner Fenning said today,
however, that cooperation of pc
destrians at busy corners would not
only make crossing safer, but would
help the traffic situation generally.
In discussing the movement of
pedestrians in Boston, Commissioner
Fenning pointed out that the streets
there are not as wide as in Wash
ington, which makes the pedestrian S
journey somewhat easier
Short Turn Allowed.
The Commissioner also noted that
at certain points in Boston vehicles
making a left-hand turn are permit
ted TO cut across in front of the officer
instead of going around him. He
added, however, that Boston does not
have as many surface car tracks
downtown as Washington has and he
expressed doubt whether such a turn
ing rule could be attempted at local
intersections where there are street
car tracks.
In connection with the movement
that has been under way here for a
number of years to erect a central
police building in which police head
quarters, the Detective Bureau and
Traffic Department could be housed to-
gether, Commissioner Fenning found
that Boston has a new building some
what on that order. 1t combines a
centrally located station house with
the traffic headquarters and general
supply rooms for the police depart
ment.
Commissioner Fenning said that pro-
motions in the local department made
necessary by the recent death of Lieut.
Giles probably will not be acted upon
until next week.

AFRICA CONFERENCE
ALTED BYD|SPUTE
Peruvian Delegation Leaves
Parley as Soldiers Are
Held in Chile.
By the Associated Press.


AFRICA, Chile, September 5.-The
Peruvian boundary delegation con-
nected with the Tacna-Arica plebiscite
board has temporarily withdrawn
from it's work with the boundary
commission pending the receipt of
satisfaction from the Chilean au-
thorities over the seizure of Peruvian
soldiers who were leading mules to
Tacna for use by the Peruvian dele
cation.
An official statement issued by
Gen. Jay J. Morrow, member of the
American commission, says the seiz-
ure took place after the Chilean au-
thorities had been notified of the ar
rival of the soldiers. The statement
adds that the matter has been taken
up with the authorities in order to
prevent in the future such "unwar-
ranted eutrages.''
Work Is Delayed.
Meanwhile the work of the bound
ary commission is being seriously
delayed.
The text of the statement of Gen.
Morrow follows:
AN incident which has tempo
rarily interrupted the work of the
boundary commission occurred Thurs
day afternoon at Tacna. A party
of three members of the Peruvian
section of the boundary commission
arrived at Tacna with II pack mules
to be used by joint party of all
three sections Of the commission in
a reconnaissance at the headwaters
of the Camarones River
This party was provided with po-
lice passes, and the local authorities
had been advised of their plans. Col.
OrdoneZ (of the Peruvian plebiscite
commission) had arranged for a local
corral service. Almost Immediately
after the arrival, about pm, a large
detachment of Chilean soldiers, with
several officers present, under the OBJ
servation of the local police, seized
the Peruvians, searched them and re-
tained some of their papers.
The matter was reported by Col
Ordonez to Gen. Morrow, who pro-
tested to the chairman of the Chilean
delegation and requested him at once
TO provide necessary safeguards
against such unwarranted outrages.
Awaits Preparations.
During the night Col. Ordonez ad-
dressed a letter to the chairman of
the boundary commission, temporarily
withdrawing his entire section from
the work of the commission until
proper legislation and reparations
Including punishments) are made and
security for future working parties
can be furnished by the Chilean au-
thorities.
THE meeting of the commission set
for this morning at 10 O'Clock was
Cancelled and the Camerones expedi-
ton has been postponed and will prob
ably have to be abandoned altogether.
The work of the boundary commission
is at a temporary standstin, but it is
hoped the matter will be cleared up
in a few days"
Ricardo Cornejo, a Peruvian house
owner of africa and an auxiliary MEM
Der of the Peruvian boundary dele
cation, was attacked in the street yes
terday by a man who he said was a
Chilean. Cornejo was struck on the
wrist and elbow with a stick, and also
was stoned. His wounds are not
serious.
The incident has been reported to
the Tacna-Arica plebiscitary authori-
ties.

The report that the Connor Lum-
Der company is building twelve
miles of logging road to penetrate
timber near Laona which surrounds
ogging camps equipped with cleo
trio lights, running water and
shower baths will cause not a few
of our old loggers to pause and
wonder what this world is coming
to anyway.
Compared to the old style of
logging this is logging on the soft
shell. In fact, old-time loggers
would not know what to do with
themselves with a camp QUILTED
with electricity, running and show
err baths. The first two, the cleo
tricity and the running water Gf
it was water to drink would not
cause so much commotion in the
breasts Of the old-timer. The shower
baths, however, would make him
expect that his breakfasts were to
be brought to him in bed; that his
bedding should be nothing less
than silks, and that the windows
ought to be fitted out with lace
curtains.
Ye old-timer's idea Of a bath was
when he came out Of the woods in
the spring and ten chances to one
if he came away from the first
time with the boys with enough
money to buy bath he would
spend it for another drink and
wait until the ice went out Of the
river and hunt up the old swim
ming hole where he could have
little fun as well as get himself
clean
We're of the opinion, even with
the advancement of civilization,
that our old time friend, the logger
would balk at the shower bath
while he might condescend to put
up with the electric lights and the
running water-Pittsville Record.

Mr. Meinhardi says "The Vacuum
Rupture Shield" will not only hold
the Rupture perfectly, but will con-
tract the opening in ten days on
the average case usually giving
instantaneous relief outstanding
al strain regardless Of the size and
location of the Rupture.
WARNING: Every ruptured per-
son should be cautioned against
wearing trusses with understands.
These trusses usually place the pad
on the lump and not on the rupture
opening. This often causes strang-
ulation which usually necessitates
an immediate surgical operation or
results in sudden death. There
fore, do not expose yourself to the
danger of wearing old-style trusses
with understands. The Vacuum
Rupture Shield" has no under
straps, no straps around the body
or legs. It is also perfectly sani-
tary and practically indestructible,
and should be worn while bathing.
Mr.. Meinhardi will be pleased to
demonstrate "The Vacuum Rup-
ture Shield to all gentlemen who
call at this Hotel from 10 a. m. to

Try This Out.

Zone phase Of radio reception
which is generally overlooked and
yet has a most important bearing
on results, says DR.. Alfred NJ
Goldsmith, Chief Broadcast Engi-
neer, of the Radio Corporation of
America, is the location Of the
loud speaker.
1T is astonishing how consid-
erably radio music can be modified
by changing the location of the
loud speaker. A little experiment.
alton along this line will generally
produce worthwhile results. Espec-
tally is this true in summer, when
the static background stands out
boldly unless the sound volume is
reduced. The loud speaker, located
indoors, will give more volume but
it will also focus attention on
every little detail, static back
ground included, no matter how
faint it may be.
ION the other hand, if the loud
speaker is brought out on the
porch or on the lawn, little details
of it's voice are no longer discerni-
bic and only the main theme
music or speech remains to at
tract attention of listeners"

lhls was in 1862. Before conmenc-
ing her work as a teacher in this
school, she had. three mnoths to
wait. During that time she went
up into the neighborhood of Eagle
RIVER as governess in the family of
Joseph Fox, consisting of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fox and two children. Mr..
Fox was iumberman and went up
TO log for Stevens Point parties.
The trip was made in February
by sleigh. During the winter, Mr..
Fox had to go to Ashland on bust
ness. 1t was the last heard of him
until his remains were found by
surveyors, in the spring. Miss
Goodrich had to return to Wausau
to take charge Of her school, but
there was no way to reach here ex-
cept by water. Two Indians were
making the trip by canoe and they
were persuaded to take her along.
Everything was serene until they
reached the home of half-breed,
on Grandfather, where they were
gong to spend the night. There
were quite number of Indians
present. They soon commenced to
drink 'firewater" and in the early
part of the night one might we'll
have thought that there was an
Indian war dance in progress. Miss
Goodrich locked herself in her
room and was just about to escape
into the forest when L. S. COIN
and his Indian assistants stopped
for the night. Miss Goodrich at
once placed herself under his pro
lection and by his personal infu-
ence he quieted the dunken Indians.
From that time on there was not
the least disturbance.
