NEW TRAFFIC PLANS INCLUDE TOWER SYSTEM (Continued From rage One.) ■within the block to travel In the opposite direction instead of going to the street intersection to make the turn. ‘‘9. That zone markers be placed in in immovable manner directly in front of entrances to theaters and hotels, and at all other places where parking is not permitted. “10. That officers whose duties are to enforce parking regulations be assigned new districts each week. “11. That right-hand turns be made only out of one-way alleyways, and out of the postoffice driveway on Meridian “13. That the streets be kept clearly marked for parking spaces. That all streets entering Meridian street from the east and the west, from New York street, to Fall Creek boulevard, be marked on the pavement with a heavy white line, and the word “stop.” ALL MARKERS TO BE PAINTED WHITE. “13. That all markers be painted white in order to be easily visible, and thac no one be allowed to place markers for the delineation of private parking spaces upon a permit secured from the police department. “14. That in all alleys and narrow streets in the congested district, on Thirtieth street from Fall Creek boulevard to the canal, on all of Sixteenth street, on Marlowe avenue, and on New York street east of Randolph street, vehicles be parked flat to the curb on only the north side of the street, and in such a manner as to leave ample space for the free passage of traffic. "15. That this city adopt the plan now in effect in Detroit of collecting penalties for Infractions of parking rules without a trial before the city Judge. “16. That at school houses Janitors be given police authority to regulate traffic at necessary times of the day, and that at places like the Kahn Tailoring Company on North Capitol avenue some employe be given similar power in order to save assignment of traffic officers for the short time required.”

COMMITTEE ATEMPTS TO FIND SOLUTION. The following general statement concerning its investigation was made by the committee: “Your committee, appointed to study the parking conditions in Indianapolis, and to make recommendations for the relief q£.cpngestion in the streets, has given careful thought and has made an investigation of the probwith it as the available seemed to permit. This work has Kl done in the most public spirited demre to find the most satisfactory solution Tor the traffic situation on our streets. To that end the committee made a study of methods of traffic regulation and condition in other cities in the hope that from their experience, lessons could be learned that would be applicable in Indianapolis. “One of the problems every city has is how it shall accommodate people who drive automobiles into the congested districts and who find it necessary to remain longer than the time limit permits for parking. The inconvenience of going out to move the automobile at intervals during the transaction of business, to avoid the penalty of occupying a parking space too long, is not the only inconvenience. The very effort to keep within the law as to the time limit makes more traffic and congestion on the street. But a plan which would allow a few who happened to arrive early, to monopolize the parking space for an indefinite length of time would be still more objectionable, so

there must be some limit on street parking. MUNICIPAL GARAGES FOR LONG TIME PARKING. “Some cities are opening municipal garages to meet this demand for a long time parking privilege. Cleveland and Boston have garages; one is being opened in Denver, and there may be others. A fee of 25 cents per day is charged for leaving cars in these garages, and with that fee the expense of maintaining the garage is met; and they are also proving to be a source of revenue to the city. These garages are used for no other purpose except parking. No gasoline is sold and no repairs are made. “Your committee made a study of signal systems by which traffic is moved in unison throughout a congested territory. By such movement of traffic a great amount of confusion is eliminated and the delays of starting and stopping i for only a few rods of movement are obviated. The traffic can be moved for [ a longer distance in the same length of time without increasing the speed at i which it moves between stops. Those : delays in getting through certain areas cause congestion. As the time required to get through is reduced, the amount of traffic accumulated in these areas is reduced. In order to put this system into operation, towers are placed In the street intersections, in which signal lights are installed. The lights in all the towers are operated from one point. All the east and west streets are opened simultaneously all the way through the area, and the north and south streets closed for such time as the traffic warrants. Then all the lights change and the north and south streets are opened and the east and west closed, and so on alternately at intervals suited to the traffic. ASKS CHANGES BE MADE GRADUALLY. “Your committee and your chairman have conferred with many business men and others regarding traffic and parking regulations. The concensus of opinion seems to be, and your committee would urge, that changes in parking aud traffic rules be made gradually, and that no drastic and sweeping changes be made in the present rules and regulations. We also recommend that the present rules be more rigidly enforced, and that strict compliance with any new regulations be required. “Your committee concurs In these recommendations, and suggests that whatever changes are made, every effort shall be made to avoid confusion during the transition from the existing rules to the new.” Members of the committee who made the report are Frank It. Wolf, chairman; William T. Bailey, secretary; Walter W. Wise, Clarence I. Baker, Bert Goldberg, Edward G. Herieth, Carl A. Taylor, James W. Lilly and Paul H. Krause, Jr.

Lewis Passes Buck t° Coal Operators President John L. Lewis of the UnitPd Mine Workers today awaited the reaction to his telegram to Illinois coal operators which passed the buck to mine owners of the central competitive field in impending wage negotiations. After the Illinois operators had demanded a preliminary wage conference and those of western Pennsylvania and Ohio had refused to attend one, Mr. Lewis diplomatically asked them to fight each other about the matter and not aim their guns at him. “The mine workers' representatives are equally as willing and as anxious as are the Illinois operators to participate in such a meeting at the earliest pdsslble date,” Mr. Lewis said in his message. The union chief suggested that the Illinois operators take the matter up with other operators of the central field who had refused to accept his invitation to a preliminary conference and by their action forced him to withdraw the invitation.

AND ALL MARY GARDEN COULD SAY WAN ‘PIG’ Grand Opera Star Refuses to Emote Over *Poison Pen ’ Threats. CHICAGO, Jna. 7.—A writer of poison pen letters who has terrorized rvealthy : society matrons of Chicago's gold coast | today threatened the life of Mary Garden, ] director of the Chicago Opera Company. ; Miss Garden received a box containing j a revolver and six cartridges. The let- j ter writer said she retained three cart- ] ridges for use on Miss Garden and “hoped soon to see her body floating down the Chicago River.” The case was reported to Chief of Police Charles Fitzmorris by Miss Garden. “Why—the pig I” was the only comment Miss Garden would make when asked about the incident. Police and Federal authorities have been working for several weeks on polbon pen letters written to Chicago social leaders. They are convinced the writer is a woman, probably mentally unbalanced. About a dozen such letters were reported. They believe the one reiceved by Miss Garden was written by the same person. The majority of letters received by “gold coast” social leaders were reported to repent bits of gossip and ! scandal regarding friends and members of their families. Others merely carried threats. ; Extra police have been assigned to guard homes of those wno have received the lettrs. , Tarqulnlo Mazzari, director of the orchestra for the opera company, was hold ;by police for questioning in connection with the attempted suicide of a girl who gave the name of Carola Beuchler. The girl took poison at a hotel room where she bad registered as Miss E. O. Williams. She left a note addressed to Joseph Carlson, Rockford, blaming “that orchestra leader" for her troubles. The letter called on Carlson to keep his oath and promise, leading police to believe the girl meant a suicide pact. Mazzari declares he had met the girl only twice when she called on him to ask for money. ROCKFORD. 11l , Jan. 7.—Joseph Carlson said he had met Miss Beuchler ouly once—last Friday.
