POLICEMAN SINCLAIR :
PRAISED BY DRIVER
Letter Of Commentator Received
by Maj. Pratt Relates Traf-
&c Incident.

Traffic Policeman r. v. Sinclair has
been commended for courteous treat
ment of Edison B. Olds, IT,, and Mrs.
Olds In letter written by Olds to
Commissioner Herbert B. Crosby. The
letter, transmitted to Mai. Henry G.
Pratt, superintendent of police, has
been promulgated by the chief for the
benefit OF the force. 1t reads:
While driving along Illinois avenue
on the evening Of Saturday, November
is, was stopped by Officer r. v. Sin
clair of the Traffic Bureau.
In the ensuing conversation, Officer
Sinclair treated Mrs. Olds and me IN
such gentlemanly and courteous man
ner that am anxious to commend him
to q superior officer, and am therefore
bringing this matter to your attention.
"Onicer Sinclair did not press the
charges, but allowed me to proceed to
my destination. However, before free
ing me, he thoroughly impressed upon
my mind the dangers in driving at ex-
cessive rates of speed. AS a matter of
fact, I believe the officer has taught me
a lesson that I could not learn from
going to court and paying a fine. 1t Is
my opinion that treatment such as
received from Officer Sinclair, If fol-
lowed by other men on the force, would
be most effective in reducing the num-
Der Of speeders in the city"
