The division was said to ■ be nine for conviction and three for ; quittai. Twice before It had reported . a disagreement, but each time had been sent back by Justice Tompkins to Con tinue Its df liber:: Cions. Foreman J. 1..

There’s al the traffic the pavement will bear, and nobody could crowd in any more. And Chief Beavers says the Hr ladway squad hasn't got anything on his traffic cops, oven If its men are six foot three and stand like they wore check reins. He thinks Reub Burnett and Charley Mitchell are as good as any of them when it comes to keeping automobiles from elimbing into trolley cars, and that’s what traffic cops ire for. A reporter spent an hour with Mitch ell and Burnett today. Not exactly with them, either, for they urged him to get on th ■ sidewalk, where he wouldn't-get i run over. He spent the rest of the hour inside a cigar store, looking out the glass door, which was warmer and safer. He began with an earnest effort to’count the vehicles ta.-sing the cor ner, but quit after the first live mln ' utes and the fust bundled and seventy . live motors, trucks, drays, cabs, trolley j cars, bicycle* and farm wagons. If the statistic-loving reader can get any sat isfaction from these figures, us far as they go, he is welcome, ’’How many folks pass this corner in an hour? Ask me something easy.
