Consultation Ordered.
When Congress appropriated $3.50 900
for the bride last year II directed that
the Fine Arts body be consulted in the
preparation of plans. After the pre-
iiminary meetings. trouble arose. The
arts body interpreted the Law to mean
that 1t was necessary for the bridge plans
TO have its approval The District
Comissioners on the other hand. con-
BSnGsd the WOrd consult meant OILY
what IL said. Consequently, for more
than year the two bodies have been
in dispute. Neither body would approve
the tyne of bride desired by the other.
Engineers advised the municipal heads
that the cost of concrete arch would
exceed the amount of the appropriation

A. A. A. PROTESTS
POLICE AMBUSH
Asks Commissioners to Pros
eCute Officers Who Lie in
Wait for Drivers.

The American Automobile AsSocia-
tion took another step Yesterday IN a
vigorous campaign against the grow
ing practice of police in amhushing
motorists for the purpose Of making
cases" rather than the prevention of
traffic violations by vigilant patrolling
Of the streets. Prosecution of two
policemen is demanded of the District
Commissioners in a letter signed by
Ernest ". Smith. general manager OF
the A A. A growing out of the recent
arrest Of a member of the association,
Robert r. Rodenberg, of 1901 Macomb
street
If the District Commissioners take
cognisance of the complaint and direct
the corporation counsel 10 prosecute.
Policemen George W. Cook and c. W.
Peters, the two officers involved in the
arrest. may be hailed before the police
trial board.
Parked in Side Street.
According to the complaint, the Off
GERS parked early Thursday morning
on Chesapeake street just off Connect
cut avenue, without lights on their
motor cycles. Rodenberg previously had
complained 10 the police about the
practice of traffic officers on Connec-
ticut avenue and had been instructed
by Smith to report in the future the
name and number of any policeman
without lights.
When he saw the two motor cycle
men parked along the side of the
street Rodenberg stopped and oues-
toned them. according TO the COM
nlunication received by the Commits
sioners. They refused 10 give their
names, he said, and replied that they
we're police officers and were allowed
to park without lights.
Driver Then Arrested.
They then arrested Rodenberg on
charge that his rear lights did not
conform to the law. The case was dis
missed BY Judge John P. Mcmahon the
following morning, without hearing the
testimony of the defendant. The two
policemen did not give their names
until after Rodenberg had deposited IS
collateral at the fourteenth precinct
station.
The protest is step in vigorous
campaign TO protect motorists from
traps" SET by the police. a practice
about which the A. A. A. has COM
planned frequently In the past. both in
the District and in Maryland and
Virginia
Our position in this matter" Mr..
Smith wrote. lis based on the fact that
it inSures greater safety and will mate
rally reduce accidents If police officers
are engaged in traffic law enforcement
on the highways. by reason of their
being more frequently observed by
motorists"
