Chief of Police Comments ob Habits of Pedestrians la Crossing Street s. Two minor j automobile ' accidents yesterday neither of which were ser ious but extremely .fortunate In that they were not has emphasized the necessity of a series of regulations and customs In this city dealing with the method of posslng pedestrians both on the street and on curves. If automobiles will follow a stipulated rule in this respect the public will soon come to realize and remember It with the result that accidents will be reduced to a minimum. One of the accidents yesterday was directly the result of misunderstandings the boy on a wheel turned Into the curb and so. did the man at the machine's wheel. . - ' -"Our streets are streets and no one has special privileges on them," said wmo umj uwuur uxtay m replying to the query o( .which portion of the streets should be used by autos In rounding corners. "I would prefer that the autos keep the center of the street Instead of hugging the curbing In rounding corners he said. However, for the safety and convenience of ev eryone, the auto owners should ad opt a custom In this respect, adhere to it closely and the public will soon "catch on." . .. V -V' "I am anxious to have, an under standing reached," said Chief of Po lice Waldon this morning, la com menting on the case. "People hav taken, lately, to crossing the street at any point and any place and as long aa they do so they can't expect anything put to' be run ,over. If the automobile will keep to the right while running -along the streets, dan ger will be minimized. I am going to insist that regulations and ordinances will be closely adhere to, but if pe destrians take to darting across the streets at any. point - and .bicycle rid ers race madly around , the corners without keeping their eyes . ahead of tbem,i,accidents are going to happen and without grounds on .the part of the auto drivers. As soon as an under standing as4 to how and where the autos are to round corners is reached, the entire police force will use all its power in educating the publio to the custom.... ,l ':'.'' r, . (Ralph Pattison, son of Mr.' and, Mrs. P. W. Pattison,' 704 Main avenue, was apparently , the most seriously' hurt of the two. He came within an ace of being killed. He was rounding the curve on a bicycle at Depot and Ad ams at the same time that Merrll Stod dard and a party were coming around the corner, running in the same .di rection. The rider, stopped suddenly a' the curb, and the automobile, which was also coming to a standstill, struck him, but at such an angle that ; one wheel scraped the curbing and lessening the weight of the , young ster.

By standers lifted the auto while others extract ed the young fellow. The accident scratched his face badly, hurt his arm and shoulder and In various other ways bruised him though not seri ously. He was able to go to school this morning. ; Had the automobile been running at a greater .speed than It was fatal re sults would probablly have occured. Ralph was taken to the Newlln Drug store where Doctor Bacon dressed his injuries. The father of the boy, a lo cal carpenter, was about to file charges against Mr. Stoddard but it Is believed the case will be settled at a fcon)r-,ence scheduled for this ev ening. . " . Isls Show Strong. The Isis last night gave the clUzens of La Grande a delightfully refreshing program. It was amusing and full of laughter. "How he Met the Champion." and the training stunts was more than pleasing. The Sick Child Incident shows' the good and : bad of many homes and it teaches a . lesson that there is some one willing to help In time of need. It shows how brute na ture turns to see the higher side of life. ;.V,.. And the song!
