Some improvement in the movement of traffic at downtown intersections has resulted from The Star's effort to impress upon motorists and pedes- trians what they should do when the officers blow their whistles before turning the semaphores, Inspector Albert J. Headley. chief of the traffic bureau, said to The inspector d-clared that the pub- leity which has been given to the ystem of leaving an interval of time elapse between the blast of the whistle and the change of direction in traffic has proved helpful.

Arrests for speeding have decreased since August, when the system was adopted of putting a certain number of motor cycle officers in civilian clothes during the daytime, according to fig- ures made public today by Maj. Sul- livan. The report is summarized as follows: August—Arrests by _officers in civilian garb, 685; by officers in uni- form, 520. Total, 1,206. September—By men in clothes, 389; by men in uniform, Total, 779. October (to the 24th only)—By men in civilian clothes, 415; by men in aniform, 361. Total, 776. “The figures speak for themselves,” | Maj. Sullivan replied, when asked what he thought they indicated. The police chief added that he was con- vinced the use of some motor cycle officers in plain clothes would reduce the amount of speeding. The major said he wanted to emphasize that the motor cycle officers are never sent out after dark in civilian clothes, when they might be mistaken for hold-up men. “We are after the reckless driver who endangers not only the pedes- trian, but the other motorists who obey the regulations” the major con- tinued. “The motorist who follows the traffic rules has nothing to fear.” Maj. Sullivan's report also showed a marked reduction in traffic deaths on the streets during October as | compared with September. In Septem- ber there were 11 killed by accidents, against only 4 in October. The new month of November, however, has atarted rather inauspiciously with 2 deaths in three daya civilian 390.

NOVEMBER 3, 1924, EX-SENATOR COLE DIES AT AGE OF 102 Colorful Career Starting With| Gold Rush to California in 49 Comes to End. By the Assoclated Pre LOS ANGELI November 3. Corneltus Cole, former United States senator, 102 years and 2 months of age, died at his residence here today. The direct cause of death, physi- cians announced, was incipient pneu- | monia, old age and a touch of heart discase. He had been in frail health for several months, 5o much so that celebration of last birthday was limited to members of the family at his residence: -Senator Cole was a survivor of most striking and picturesque period in the history of Californ the era of the placer miner, the Vigi- | lantes, the pony expr and the transcontinental railway builders; of momentous political and social con- troversies, startling crimes and sum- mary punishments. Mr. Cole, who celebrated the 100%h anniversary of his birth September arrived in California when he w 3 s of age, and become a member of the first gold-seeking, party to reach the Sacremento Valley overland from the East in the rush of 1549, Bvery one of those hardy pi- oneers, who survived the perils of the ail d trooped into the golden =5t in the stirring days of '49, had st one object in view—the discover: pay dirt—and Cornelius Cole was no exception. Prime Mover in G. O, P. But as time wore on and the cease- less hunt for gold came to be regard- ed in the light of a permanent insti- tution, there yet were some who call- ed up memories of the comfortable civilization that had been left behind in the distant East, and with these memor! came a desire for leaders. Among the latter Cornelius Cole was an exception. He continued to mine for gold, as did everyone else, but he also found time to serve the new county of Sac- ramento in the capacity of district attorney at a moment when the legally consittuted authoritie were taking from the Vigil the reins of law and order. This guided his steps along other political paths, and he became the real ader in the fight to keep California on the list of free stat He took a promi- nent part in organizing the Republi- can party of the den State, and later served on the Republican na- tional committee as the first Cali- { fornia representative. As an indication of the range of his political career and that of his wife, who shared his early experiences, it is sufficicnt to note that he was chosen a delegate to the convention which nominated Fremont for Pr { dent, and Mr. Cole was a member of the delegation to the convention | that nominated Charles k. Hughes for the same office more than haif a century later. During the Civil War Mr. Cole occupied a seat in the House of Representatives, and in 1365 was elected to the United States Sena from California, serving until 18 Spoke 50 Years Later Nearly 50 yvears nator Cole had closed his desk in the National Capital and returned to th of his_ adoption, he appeared in Washington and took his old place in the legislative chambers, there to receive the tribute of new genera- tion that was ruilding the affairs of the Nation. He was a centenarian then—or within a few months of the | rk—and as he stood in the Senate to speak, he saw none who had been there in his day. Despite his advanced years, Mr. Cole insisted upon making the » East in the early Summer of 1922 to re the degree of doctor of laws from Wesleyan College, his alma mater, 75 years after his graduation. He also visited Hobart College, which he had attended in his youth. The | tour included a visit to New York, { which the pioneer had not seen for more than 40 years. Hale and hearty as a man of half his years, and without a wrinkle on his face, the | aged visitor spent an active week in the metropolis after meeting the heavy demands made upon him in { Washington, where he had been wel- comed by President Harding and many other high officials of the Gov- crnment, as well as the House and Senate. Studied Under Seward. Mr. Cole was born at Lod Y September 17, 1 Completing his | academic work, he studied law in the office of William H. Seward, who later became Secretary of State under Lin- coln. In 188 he struck out for the far i West, and with three companions, “panned” gold with varying < until in famed Oregon Gulch they struck a rick pocket, one day's work on which netted them $1,849. They were prompted to sell the claim for a song, however, when a mining camp rumor drifted in telling of better pickings elsewhere, but all lived to see the Oregon Gluch subsequently produce millions of dollars worth of coarse gold. Years after this venture. Mr. Cole was one of a group of men who met in the law office of Collis P. Hunting- ton and Mark Hopkins, in Sacramento, to organize the Central Pacific Rail- road Company. Later, as a member of Congress, he brought about the enactment of laws that made the building of the transcontinental rail- way possible. Defeated for Re-election. When he was elected to the Senate, however, he actively opposed a_bill granting Goat Island, in San Fran- cisco Bay, to the Central Pacific as u terminal site, and thereby, he felt, in- curred the enmity of his former friends and associates. To their op- position and that of the so-called whisky ring and national banking in- terests, which he had antagonized, he attributed his defeat for re-election. Mr. Cole was married in 1853 to Miss Colegrove, who shared her hus- band’s friendship for Abraham Lin- coln. Mrs. Cole died in 1920 at the age of 87. ‘When Mr. Cole celebrated his 100th birthday, his estate in Los Angeles was thrown open to the public for a general reception. Surrounded by his children, grandchildren, and great- grandchildren, and by nonogenerian friends of a lifetime, the former Senator danced and frolicked the whole day through as though he had been a boy again. th | - DEPUTY SLAIN; 2 HURT.
