(EDITORIAL) The Star charged yesterday— (1.) That the enforcement of traffic laws in attle has become a joke, and, (2.) That the traffic division is demoralized. When it said demoralized, The Star meant that the division’s system of handling cases has been shot to the bow-wows, and the morale of the men in the division reduced to next-to-nothing. * * traffic division was created three years ago under a gene order of Mayor Caldwell outlining its duties. Lieutenant Carr was placed in command. The idea back of the move was to centralize the au- thority and responsibility for the enforcement of all speeding, safety and parking measures. Previously, a dozen department heads had handled such duties. Chief Warren resigned about the time the order was published. Chief Searing carried it out cheerfully and efficiently. Then Mayor Brown and Chief Severyns came into office. The * # * Under the Caldwell general order, still in force, all arrest tags are to pass thru the hands of the division's head, Lieutenant C During the Searing regime this was done. Offenders big and little, first-time and repeaters, serious and trivial, were so handled. Their cases went to the police judge and there were disposed of, in accordance with the ordinances. Soon after the Brown-Severyns regime began, auto- mobile offenders who happened to be friends of Ser- geant Frank Fuqua, Lieutenant Carr’s right hand man, discovered that there was a new way open to them. They could take their tags to Fuqua and, if their argu- ment was persuasive, never have to go to court at all; the case would simply be dropped. Over night the innovation became extremely popular among speeders, parking hogs and other violators of the auto ordinances. It developed ramifications fast and furious. Soon you could go to the mayor, if you were his friend; or to the chief, if you were his friend; or to a captain or inspector or whatnot, if you were his friend, and the same mystic process might result. And that’s where the matter stands. If you have influence, or pull, or political strength, or money, you can get out of answering for your motor transgression in Seattle. * 8 # | The Star charges today: \ (1.) That Lieut. Carr doesn’t even know how | many such cases are being “slipped by” him | daily. From other sources, The Star learns that | these constitute from 10 to 25 per cent of all the | persons arrested by the division. (2.) That Lieut.
