$1,000 FACE ARREST
FOR OLD DRIVING CARDS

All old automobile drivers permits
issued prior to the passage of the new
traffic act became invalid today and
as result approximately $4,000
motorists who have failed to renew
the permits are liable to arrest and a
fine Of $40 if caught operating with q

Just what steps the Police Depart
ment plans to take to round up the
drivers using illegal permits has not
been determined. Traffic Director
William H. Harland conferred with
Maj. Edwin b. Hesse, superintendent
Of police, regarding; the situation, and
as result special order is expected
to be issued to policemen to be on the
lookout for drivers using the old per-
mits.
Traffic Director Harland pointed out
that the Traffic Bureau will continue
to receive application for the renewal
of permits until July 8, but that
motorists making applications in the
cannot operate their ma
chimes legally until the new permit is

IN TRAFFIC CASES
TO RELIEVE COURTS
Commissioners Expect New
Rules Will Be Boon to
Minor VioIators.

ers for Production Before
Judge.

Important changes in the-method of
dealing with violators of minor traffic
regulations, designed to reduce con-
gestion in Police Court. we're adopted
today by the District Commissioners.
The changes were recommended by
a special committee composed of
Ringgold Hart, assistant corporation
counsel; Maj. Hesse, superintendent
of police, and NJ. o. Eldridge, assistant
director of traffic. While all Of the
committees suggestions were not APP
proved, those acted on, the Commits
sioners believe. will have a tendency
to alleviate the congestion in the
Police Court.
The changes approved follow:
1. Leaving the amount of collateral
to be deposited for appearance in
court to be fixed by commanding Off.
GERS of the various precincts.
2. Authorizing assistant corporation
counsels to fix the amount of collateral
to be forfeited in individual cases
without being restricted to the mini.
mum collateral rule.
3. Adoption Of a collateral notice
slip to be given offenders for produc-
ton in court at the time of placing
collateral.
May Put Items in Budget.
The Commissioners also tentatively
decided to place in the budget for the
next fiscal year items for new Police
Court building, two additional judges
at the Police Court and two addition
al assistants to the corporation coun-
sci at the court. No action was taken
on the recommendation that an order
be issued instructing police to be
lenient with first offenders. The Com
missioners believed that such a prac-
tice would establish a bad precedent
and cause police to countenance any
infraction of the traffic regulations.
The Commissioners left to the dis
erection of the Police Court judges an.
other recommendation of the commit
tee that prisoners awaiting trial be
allowed to sit on benches in the
courtroom instead of being herded in
the small cellrooms.
Expected to Be Boon.
The new system will be great
boon to persons, who will be allowed
to forfeit the amount Of their prob
able fine in minor cases. Under the
old system traffic yiolator usually
paid a much higher fine when he for.
feited 1t than would have been the
case IL he had gone to court for trial.
AT the present time. it was pointed
out, there is an order in the Police
Department that not less than $25 be
accepted as collateral for appearances
in cases of intoxication and not less
than SIS in cases of overtime parking.
The assistants of the corporation
counsel at the Police Court are like
wise under orders to permit not less
than SIS forfeiture in an overtime
parking case. 1t is seldom, it was
said. that the courts fined more than
$40 for the first offense of intoxication
and for parking overtime a fine of 50
is usually imposed when the case is
presented tofthe court.

AS soon as Apollonio learned OF
the detention of his wife he sought
legal assistance in her behalf, getting
his attorney. George E. Mcneil, out
of bed at $50 o'clock this morning to
take the case and to "move heaven

No warrants have been issued in the
case. Upon hearing Of the plans, at
the outset, Langdon and Lowry con-
ferred with Assistant United States
Attorney Ralph Given. who told them,
they said. that there was no necessity
for warrant, if a direct offer of
money was made by a conspirator in

when the House next meets, according
to Speaker Longworth, who was in

The Speaker said the remainder of the

Mr.. Longworth felt very confident
that there would be a liberal cut in
the taxes, but did not care to venture
q guess as to the total amount. He
said it would be easier to determine
a basis by the time Congress meets
because just what the surplus of the
Treasury actually amounts to would
be evident by then.

The Speaker informed the President
that he will speak in Chicago
Saturday before the flood control con.
vention called by Mayor Thompson.
He said that in his speech he will give
assurance that the House is in sympa-
thy with relief and with future protec-
ton from foods and that he feels con-

have no authority. to act until the

Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth and
Thirteenth streets between Pennsyl-
yaYiia and New York avenues, to-
gether with Seventh and Fourteenth
