Gentlomen:-
We take pleaaure In expressing our appreciation of the
fair and reaoonable interest taken by Times in the settlement of the
Belle Isle Ferry matter. Your suggestion regarding the acoeptance of
4
coupons on the Bridge Phaetons was made at a very opportune time.

TRAFFIC SQUAD
IS ESTABLISHED
Police Will Guard Public at Con

Cron Is new t rattle squad under lit*
charge of Seigt Thomas O'Gradv

day morning, that tne plau Is now

All (-robbing* from Jefferson -two. to
Grand Ki\er-ave. on Woodward-ave.
are to be guarded, und tlie officers iu
< lurg< will be distinguished by a
purticulai insignia on tlie left sleeve.
Already tin* squad has been increas* and
from eight to 15 officers, and, within
a few days, it will be increased to 30
uien.
The new system will require that nt
such ri ssings a* State-sl., the trafin
policemen will, temporarily halt all
east and west travel and allow the
north and south travel, reversing th- se
conditions within a minute or two.
When the Broadway officers go to
lunch othei officers will lake their
places.
“There will be no more Broadway
cops swinging their clubs under awn
ings.'’ states Supt. Downey. “They
will be out In tht- street guarding the
people.”
Another Important change ordered
by Police Commissioner Croul Is ex
pected to put an end to the daring
work of a certain class of clever
sneak thieves, who have, on several
occasions, taken advantage of the
change of shifts of policemen to kick
iu show windows and make a hurrieif
escape with Jewelry or merchandise,
while the beat is left unguarded. Fa
der the previous rules, ninny of the
police beats were left open for spaces
of time varying from 10 minutes to a
half hour, while one set of patrolrm n
was reporting in at the station, and
the other set was about to take up the
work.
Under Commissioner Croul’s new or
ders. no policeman will leave his bea:
until the man who is to relieve him
arrives and takes Ills place.
Some of the offle* rs are kicking
about tne change, protesting that it
means nbout 20 minutes added to
th“lr long hours, but the public will
doubtless favor It.
New saloon regulations went into ef
fect Thursday night In the central
precinct, when the "hour of grac« ”
was ♦aken away from the saloonkeep
ers. While saloonkeepers have been
ordered to officially close at midnight,
it has been tin* custom to allow them
until 1 o’clock before clearing their
places of customers. The 12 cj’clock
order simply called for the shades to
Le drawn, and that no more patrons
lie admitted. Thursday night, how
ever, all down-town saloons were tight
ly closed at midnight, and the cur
tains and blinds were all raised, so
that the empty bars were exposed.
Under the new commissioner's gen
eral orders, all patrolmen on day duty
are to wear white gloves. The men
on night duty need not meet this re
quirement.
"That idea comes fnm New York,”
said one patrolman. “It's all right in
New York, where the men get from
$1,400 up, but It's an added expense
for us on our SI,OOO »alnrles.”
Police Commissioner Croul has or
dered Department Surgeon Gorenko
to put all of the men in the depart
ment through a physical examination,
but he declared, Friday morning, ’hat
the examination was not primarily in
tended for a weeding out of patrol
men who do not come up to the strict
requirements
“There are a great many soft snaps
In the department, and in tome cases,
big strong fellows have the soft snaps,
w’hile some of the men, w-ho ar» hard
ly capable of doing real hard work,
have the hardest duties to perform, ’’
said the commissioner. "We are go
ing to And out who the strongest men
In the department ure. and we are
also going to learn what men are un
able to perform hard duties Men who
have dene long and faithful*uervle*
and are not as fit as they once were,
will get some of the snap Jobs, and
the big strong fellows will get the
other work."
The office staff of the l>etrott Ouk
Pelting Cos., of which Mr. Ctoul 1»
president and general manager, have
sent the new police commissioner, a
"big stick." of handsomely polished
mahogady, in the exact form of a
mammoth police club.
HARMS CHARGES AGAINST
PACKERS BRANDED FALSE
"Not One of Accusations Has Any
Basts in Fact,” Says Chief Mel
vin and Solicitor McCabe.
WASHINGTON, July 2.—“ Not one
of his charges hus any basis In fact,"
is the gist ui the report made today
to Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, by
A. 1). Melvin, chief of the bureau of
animal industry, and George P. .Mc-
Cain* solicitor ot the department, re
garding the sensational statement
made recently by J. F. Hurius in his
letter of resignation as an inspector ot
I meats at the St. Louis packing houses.
Melvin and McCabe spent several day*
on tlie ground, investigating tlie
charges. Summing up their report,
these two officials say:
"it is the belief of your committee
that the men at the East St.
station, from tlie top to the bottom,
are absolutely honest and competent:
that they are discharging their duties
to the service and to the public In a
j conscientious, high-minded, efficient
way. and that no meat is passed from
the East St Louis station bearing the
mark of government inspection that Is
not in every way fit for the public*
use.
The record shows that many of the
employes it the St. I»uls station have
woiked overtime in their efforts to
give an honest, efficient inspection,
and It Is to be regretted that The word
of a disgruntled, dissatisfied employe,
irresponsible and answerable to no
one, should be made the occasion of
an attack upon a service which is
honestly conducted and which means
so much to the American consumer of
meat food products, and to the cattle,
sheep and hog reisers of the country
who are board to suffer from any at
tack no matter how uncalled for,
which may be made upon the service.”
RIVERVIEW “REGULATED.”
Park Must Close Nightly at 11
O’Clock, Croul Orders.
As the lesult of an investigation of
conditions at Rivervlew park by Supt.
Downey, Police Commissioner Croul
lias ordered the place to close every
evening at 11 o’clock. Tht* order was
put into effect Thursday night. This
is part of the commissioner’s program
|of regulation.
“The place is under the ban," says
the commissioner.

In an address before the Michigan
Manufacturers’ association, at its an

ness.

penterlug. William J Babbitt filed suit
against Butler Bro* & Hoff Cos., the
Detroit river tunnel contractors, in tlie
circuit court. Friday mornlug He
asks for $20,000.
Sees Mother Grow Young,
"It would be hard to overstate the
wonderful change in my mother since
she began to use Electric Bitters”
writes Mrs. W. L. Gilpatrlrk of Dan
forth. Me “Although past 70 the
seems really to be growing young
again. She suffered untold misery
from dyspepsia for 20 years At last
she could neither eat, drink nor sleep.
Doctors gave her up and all remedies
failed till Electric Bitters worked such
| wonders for her health.” They invig-

You are astonished to learn that *hey are

The general health of woman is so in
