DRIVERS ALSO EXAMINED Cars Carefully Loked Over as Pre cautionary Measure and Operat ors Pot Through Oral and Practical Inquiry. Inspection of Jitney cars and exami nation of drivers was started yesterday by Jitney Inspector Gallup, as a result of the order of Circuit Judge Ganten- beln modifying the Jitney regulation or dinance to the extent of requiring the Jitneys to undergo examination monthly by the city. Inspector Gallup is receiving the cars at the City Hall, where he has made his headquarters in the office of Com missioner Daly. It is proposed to ex amine the cars and drivers as rapidly as possible, eliminating the cars which are unsafe and the operators who are unable to drive properly and with abso lute safety. Upon making application for a permit the Jitney driver first must sumbit his machine for inspection. Mr. Gallup goes over all the working parts to see that they are in proper condition. The inspection covers every feature of the car which has anything to do with its safety. m The driver is then subjected to an examination. Inspector Gallup rides beside him over a course which involves various conditions and tests the driver's ability thoroughly. The driver is required to make emergency stops and turns of various kinds, and is examined as to his knowledge of the traffic rules and regulations. After this test the driver is subjected to an oral examination. He Is required to give his experience as a driver in detail. Cards have been Issued for use n the outside of all inspected cars. As soon as a driver and his car is passed a tag is issued. This is posted on the outside of the car for the benefit of the police. All Jitney drivers are being in structed by the police to report at the City Hall for inspection. Within a short time arrests will be made of drivers of cars which fail to display inspection tags. Inspection of cars will be made monthly, or more frequently if deemed necessary by Inspector Gallup. PORTLAND LIKED BEST CHICAGO KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS ENTERTAINED IX CITY.

It might be rash to announce such a state of affairs, even though the number of arrests made by the Port land police during the past six months is C72 less than for the same period In 1914. Particularly as the arresta are now increasing, and the lead over 114 Is due to the extraordinary number of "pinches" made durlpg January and February of that year, for April. May and June of 1915 both lead 1914 in unfortunates locked behind the bars of the City Jail. Statistics Just completed show that from January 1 until June 30, 1915 the Portland police arrests numbered' 10.040, and for the same period In 1914 there were 10,712 person arrested. The number of arrests includes those taken into cuotody for all crimes, varying from vagrancy and drunken ness to murder. By far the greater number are for vagrancy and drunk enness.
