Deputy Sheriffs Clark Hixson and Police Recover Akron Auto Bearing License Plates From Cleveland HOLDUP METHODS SAME Recovery of the car used by the two bandits who Saturday held up the paymaster of the Clemmer-Noah Construction- and escaped with $6,147.76, was made early Sunday when Patrolman C. Schwinn came upon the machine parked on E. Exchange near Beaver st.

The auto, still bearing the license plates stolen from a Cleveland car, was found to be the one taken Friday night from Mr. and Mrs. Selden L. Linehan, of 378 Worron during a hold-up staged near City hospital where the Llnehans had gone to visit a sick friend. Find Original Plates The original license plates of the car were found inside with the last numeral chiseled from them.

Detectives believe the bandits took he-stolen, car to Cleveland Friday night after the robbery here and then returned Saturday morning with the stolen plates attached to the machine. Linehan had Just returned from the hospital to his machine which was parked on Arch near Upson, in full view of E. Market traffic, and stepped on the starter when two highwaymen, speaking with a foreign accent, appeared at the machine's doors and ordered Mr. and Mrs. Linehan to hand over their money.

The bandits took $8 in cash and then ordered the couple from the machine. The composure and boldness which characterized the robbery near the hospital marked the pay roll stick-up shortly before noon-Saturday. In full view of witnesses, the bandits thrust a gun at w. a. Stokes, paymaster for the construction company, as he was crossing the cement court in the rear of the company's offices, 470 E.

Market st. Returning From Bank Stokes had Just returned from the Ohio State bank with the money for the emploves working on the new Y. M. C. A.

and Y. W. C. buildings. He had been accompanied bv Miss Mary Clemmer, daughter of Fred Clemmer, president of the company, who had remained in the machine.

Miss Clemer obtained the number of the bandit's car which was turned over to police. The highwaymen entered their machine, parked on S. Adolph and drove off before aid could be summoned. The loss was covered by insurance and within an hour after the robbery an adjustment had been made by the Herberlch, Hall, Harter representing the Travelers Insurance Co.

SET! OF Councilman Says System Will Relieve Congestion With Safety WOULD BENEFIT STORES Firmly convinced that Akron traffic can make right or left turn safely at the principal downtown street intersections without jeopardizing lives of pedestrians or creating congestion, Edmund Rowe, councilman from the third ward, today was preparing a report on tha traffic survey he made last week in New York City and elsewhere In the east. Sent By Merchants Rowe was sent to New York. Newark, Philadelphia and other points by a group of Akron merchants who have been fighting for months to have the prohibition on left turns at Main and Market, Mill and Market, and Howard, Bowery and Main sts. lifted by the safety department. The report which Rowe will submit to these merchants is diametrically opposed to the position he haa previously maintained, and in complete accord with the desires of the merchants who have declared the left turn prohibition in Akron is costing them thousands of dollars a month in business lost by inability of customers to get to their Rowe's proposal for left turru downtown is in direct opirosition to the traffic measures Instituted by Safety Director H.

H. Arnold. Two weeks ago city council refused to indorse the merchants' plea for left turns and refused them 30 days' experiment of such turns. Summary Of Report Summed up, Rowe's report will say: First The pedestrian always haa the right of way In New York City. Second A traffic policeman Is essential on ail corners whfra there is heavy traffic.

Third fixed or arbitrary traffic rules are unenforceable if an expeditious movement of traffio is desired. Fourth The policeman at thi intersection should have full and complete authority to move traffic at that corner as he sees fit, regardless of a traffic code, a red light or anything else. Fifth The purpose of traffle regulations Is to get the man who wants to turn out of the heavy flow of traffic as quickly as possible, and into a street where then is less traffic, I'se One-Way Traffic The study Rowe made in Philadelphia, Newark and the other cities, outside Manhattan Island, proves that the situations there ar not comparable in any way to conditions here, because most of tha streets in those cities are so narrow one-way traffic is the rule. Therefore he confined himself for flva and a half days to a study of conditions on Manhattan Island. Rowe traveled in every type of vehicle possible in New York to prove to himself which mode of traffic is fastest, and concluded that the street car, on the surface, will get one to a destination quicker than either a taxi or a private automobile.

Deputy Police Inspector McCarty, a good-natured Irishman In charg of Manhattan traffic, works on tha theory that the policeman at tha Intersection knows more about what is going on there than the official! behind desks In headquarters many miles away, Rowe says he learned, and puts all the load of traffio movement on the shoulders of tha men themselves. Conditions Much Worse "By permitting the traffic policemen to regulate traffic as they sea fit at the intersections where they are stationed," Rowe says, "Manhattan traffic, hundreds of time worse than anything in Akron, is moved rapidly, safely and without arguments. The pedestrian is safeguarded because everyone knows the pedestrian has the right-of-way and comes first, always, with, vehicular traffic second." Semaphores are used at some intersections instead of traffic lights, Rowe. found, because it is eaSier to regulate the flow of traffic by hand. At other intersections where there are lights Rowe found that the policeman in charge used his own judgment about getting traffis through, regardless of the light, and was aware that what he did would not be criticized by some officioua overlord who might be standing around observing things.

One oilier important thing Rowa discovered, he said today, was that turns on the red light into deadend streets in Akron could be mada safely and would serve to expedite traffic. Now, where a motorist wanta to turn into a dead-end street he is delayed by waiting for the green light and then held up again bv opposing traffic going with that light. Entitled To Consideration "The merchants who sent me to New York and elsewhere to uriy conditions, transact $100,000,000 in retail business annually, and art taxed according," Rowe said today. "They own the most valuable property in Akron, and if their business is hampered by left turn prohibitions, and it requires traffic policemen on the busy corners to --lore the left turns and move traffic in front of these merchants' I am now convinced they are entitid to this consideration." Rowe will meet today or tomorrow with the.se merchants and make his report, which Is compiled into 20 typewritten pages. OTHER arcs I Rev, W.
