INDIANA POLICE “COMPETING FOR SAFETY PRIZES

_ Inter-Post Contest Based on Efficiency, Fatality and. Enforcement.

An inter-post traffic safety contest based upon enforcement, efficiency and fatality ratings is being held by the Indiana State Police this year for the first time, according to Don F. Stiver, superintendent. For the last six years a silver cup has been awarded the post with the lowest fatality total. This year the cup is to be awarded not only on the fatality record, but on traffic law enforcement, accident investigation, accident

public education and contracts and traffic suggestions.

Point System Used

The award will be given on a basis + .of points, 30 for fatality record, 35 for traffic law enforcement, 5 for traffic suggestions and 10 for the other three. Accident investigation, stressed in the training of State troopers, has accounted for the apprehension of many hit-run drivers this year, according to Mr. Stiver. A careful investigation last March brought the conviction of a hit-run driver at Roseland, Ind. A pedestrian was struck and killed by a hit-run driver. The only evidence found was four pieces of headlight ens.

Driver Tracked Down

A long search revealed that a South Bend auto agency had purchased a similar lens for a customer. The driver was found. He confessed and. was convicted, Mr. Stiver said. Ng Cases such as this one have proven to the State Police that careful investigation and careful training in that field clears up many, cases which formerly were often left unsolved, he declared. Public education includes radio, display of films and slides, letters to parents and safety addresses. Awards will be made at the end of the year.

-dewntown ‘E. Washington §

By JAMES THRASHER When the facts are known, it seems the most natural thing in the world that Edward Curson should be living at the Tremont Hotel. ‘There has been a hotel, the Tremont and its predecessors, since 1832 on the spot now designated as 405 E. Washington St. And Mr. Curson has been living in the neighborhood of New Jersey. and Washington Sts. for 68 of his 70 years. So it was just a partnership of old settlers when Mr. Curson moved in. | The Tremont originally was building. About 85 years ago the present brick building (now faced with stone) was erected. During the rebuilding, the front portion of the old frame house was moved across the street, while the back part stood on its original location until recent years, when it was torn down to make room for a parking lot.

Once Was Leading Hostelry

When Mr. Curson first knew the Tremont, it was called Little’s Hotel, and was one of the town’s best hostelries. The lobby included what is now an adjacent store building. A veranda extended along the front of the second story. The hotel boasted a dining room, too. In fact, it was so fancy that Mr. Curson says he scarcely dared go inside. He was selling papers and shining shoes up and down Washington St. in those days. He also shined the boots of travelers at the old Union Station, which was a frame shed. Today, Mr. Curson sits at the hotel window and looks out on the steady stream of swift traffic past his old haunts. A streetcar goes by, and it reminds him of the days when he and a companion would jump on the rear platform of the old cars and teeter until the car jumped the track. Then they would run and hide.

Remembers Mule Cars

The old mule cars used to stop at State St, he remembers. Later, when the first electric cars came in, they used to run out to Irvington occasionally, when the mud did not make the road impassable. Downtown Washington St. was paved with big, rough cobblestones. Out on the East Side, at Noble St., was the locomotive turntable. 'Way out on W. Washington, just over White River, was a sort of suburban hotel. There was a cornfield right next to it. Mr. Curson lives frugally inv the hotel whose elegance dazzled lim as a boy. And despite the many improvements that have changed

{itis neighborhood, he wishes the old

days were back again. “I was earning $9.50 a week when I was married, and saving $3 a week. Rent was $6 a month, and you couldn’t carry home in one basket all the food that a dollar would buy at the City Market. We lived

[| This laconle metaphor signed by Com. +

mander Robert E. Peary of the United | States navy startled official circles and electrified the entire world today, coming 80 closely on the heels of the achievement of Dr. Frederick A (‘ook. From out of the arctic darkness there flashed this message which stunned the scientific world ad thrilled the heart of every layman. From the bleak coast of Labrador Peary gave to the world the news that he had attained his goal in the far North, while at the same moment, in far-off Denmark, Dr. Frederick A. Cook of Bsookiyn was being dined and llonised by royalty for the same achievement. The message to press bureaus was followed by other brief messages, all carrying the same tenor. The north pole has been found again, and again an American, this time a government official, has the honor. To Commander Peary the honor is ail the greater since this marked his seventh effort to locate the top of the globe.
