By; midnight the . Morrison, Broadway and Steel bridges ware clear. But it was dose to 1 Wednesday morning before the Haw thorne bridge was freed. 1 - - TRAFFIC AT STANDSTILL ' Three and four- abreast, automobiles vainly attempted to push, their way to Nthe west approaches of the bridges in an effort to get to the East Side.

"Automobilists : must keep in line. We will refuse to recognise tna- chines that come to intersections along side the regular right-hand . traffic . lines. - r- Even Chief of Police Jenkins, along with his captains and thief aides, are working' day and night with patrolmen , and special policemen in an effort to keep traffic moving and maintain order throughout the. city. i Praise for the manner in which traffic has been handled at the Union station - has . been forthcoming from Shrlners from various parts of the country.
