SHIFT OF TRAFFIC
COURT IS ARRANGED
Police Judges Provide Larger
Quarters-Change Will Be
Made Tuesday.

Continued congestion has finally
forced the Traffic Court into new
quarters and the change will be made
Tuesday, when additional space will
be provided by transferring one branch
of the Police Court over to the Dis
trict Supreme Court, where Criminal
Divisions l or will be utilized during
the Summer recess, and moving the
Traffic Court into the rooms evacuat-
ed in the shift in the Police Court.
The move was decided upon shortly
before noon, after a conference OF
police judges headed by Judge Gus A.
Schuldt.
The crowded and unsuitable condi-
tions of the Traffic Court, which has
been housed in a small room Of the
Police Court Building, have increased
since the beginning of the recent traffic
drive, which has filled the court TO It's
maximum capacity every day.
Prevented Prompt Procedure.
The situation has prevented prompt
procedure, as many defendants, police
men and witnesses, unable to find room
in the Traffic Court, waited on trials
in the corridors. Bailiffs and clerks
were forced to search for them, delaying
other cases. -s..-.
Several weeks ago it was decided to
move the Traff1c Court to new quarters,
but no decision had been reached con-
cerning a new location.
In the conference this morning 1t was
decided to transfer a jury branch OF
Police Court to the District Supreme
Court Building. The United States
the present jury courtroom, Whhe
the District branch of Police Court
will be transferred to the room now oc-
cupied by the United States branch.
Traffic Court will then be held in the
larger room now occupied by the Dis
trict branch.
Temporary Expedient.
It was formely believed 1t would be un-
necessary to transfer the District
branch Of the court, but after con-
sultation it was found that new quar-
tiers must be sought for the District
branch to prevent assistant district
attorneys and assistant corporation
counsels from being inconvenienced by
changes and records filed.
The present move is only tenn
porary expedient, and what may be
done in the future is problematical:
Arrests for violation of the trahc
regulations during "a hours ending at
| 8 O'Clock this morning totaled 302.
There were $50 arrests for miscellane-
Gus violations, "a for speeding, 8 for
reckless driving, 2 each for operating
while drunk and failing to stop after
accident and l for dazzling lights.

WIFE CHARGES
DIVORCE FRAUD
Knew Nothing of Decree
Until 1t Was Granted.

Mrs. Anna E. Alvey, went Serenely
about her home work at Princeton,
Ind. secure in the thought that her
husband, Joseph E. Alvey loved her
dearly, though he was in Indian
aeolis working.
Hadn't he been sending her letters
containing "endearing and loving
terms" right along?
And all the while, according to
a petition filed before Superior
Judge William o. Dunlavy today
Joseph was industriously prosecuting
a divorce suit against her here.
Furthermore he got the divorce
from Judge Dunlavy on representa-
ton she was a resident of Grand
Rapids, Mich, and was not living
with him.
Mrs. Alvey alleges the first she
knew of the divorce was the stun
ming news it was granted. She asks
that the decree be set aside on the
ground of fraud by the husband.

not the panic and tumult usual
among fire-trapped victims.
"On the first landing at the stair

second floors, the sight that met our
eyes gave us the first proof Of the
actual facts.

were horribly twisted, and dis

be alive
ON the next landing just above
the second floor, was a second
mound of dead. 1 counted eleven.

for the stairs, blinded and suffo-
eating. ther eto stumble and plunge

below
Lieutenant George Grimes was
credited with recovering thirty
bodies, working without interruption
while the two blasts rocked the
building.
Firemen brought victims out so
fast that workers in the street and
front lawn could hardly treat them
fast enough. Some Of the patients
protested that they were all right,
fremen said.
Don't have to do a thing for me, "
one man said The gas didn't
bother me. Bring out the other. "
Five minutes later he collapsed.
Laughs at Peril-Dead
Paul Roquemora of East Dallas,
Tex, was able to get out without
aid. He laughed when a fireman
told him he had better go to a
hospital" R0quemora worked for a
few minutes longer and then walked
over to Mt. Sinai hospital. Ten
minutes later he was dead.
Mrs. Seth Nickens came out Of
the clinic without mark on her.
She had the presence Of mind to
follow the example of a man she
saw crawling along the floor
through the gas-filled halls toward
a doorway.
When the explosion came Mrs.
Nickens was wrapped in one Of the
hospitals blue kimonos awaiting
her turn for an X-ray treatment.
She ran into the hallway crying
for help At that moment she saw
through the thickening clouds of
yellow smoke a large man in white
coat who was fiat on his face, crawl
ing with a swimming motion toward
the light in the doorway.
Mrs. Nickens did likewise, holding
her breath as she craWled along. At
the door she was picked up by
reSeuers. Her husband, hearing of
the explosions, arrived soon and
took her home. Today she suffered
only from nervous shock.
