AUTO FIEND
ARRESTED
Willis 7. KiImer, son Of Swamp
Root Or. KiImer, "Swamped.'

Scorched Past Alderman Grove Who
Notified Police. CuIprit Could Not
Produce Fine Imposed by Justice
Gift. Promised to be Good Here
after in New Jersey.
Willis Tharpe Kilmer, Of Binghamp-
ton, N. Y, the son of well known
manufacturer of patent medicines ac-
companied by three friends scorched up
Madison avenue and into Morristown on
Monday afternoon in racing automo-
bile at pace anywhere between twenty
i've and forty miles an hour. Along
Madison avenue the pace was so great
that the machine was buried in cloud
of dust and drivers of wagons and car
riages were forced TO one side of the
avenue or turned into side streets until
the party passed by. Mounted police
man Osborne was not on duty at the
time, but Alderman George Grove, the
watchful representative from the Third
Ward, who saw the scorchers pass, tele-
phoned to Squire Cliff at Police Head
quarters. that an ''infernal'' machine
just went towards town running like
"hell beating tanbark." :" The tip was
given to Officer Callahan, who few
moments later arrested Kilmer on Park
Place.
"Well," replied the Squire, after the
party had entered the station house, II
suppose you know that the regular fine
for violating the speed ordinance is
$780,"
What" calculated Kilmer. who was
now shaking like leaf "Why, Squire
this is the first time in all my life that /
have been arrested for fast riding"
"Sorry for you" said the Squire, who
looked at him doubtfully for moment.
"WeIl, if this is your first offense, as
you say. / will let you down to $s5'
"But haven't $25 with me-" Rilmer
replied in dismay.
After going through all his pockets he
managed to scrape together $1745. "lf
you ever catch me breaking the speed
limit again l want you to lock me up
and keep the machine" he said cheer
fully as the party pulled out for New
York.

The Paderewski Recital in Newark.

Paderewski, who will give a piano
forte recital under the local management
of Frederick N. Sommer in the Kruger
Auditorium on Saturday afternoon, April
26, is arousing, wherever he appears, the
enthusiasm which his playing always
provokes. The success of his grand op-
era, "Manru," which was recently pro-
duced at the Metropolitan, New York,
has stimulated public interest in his ap-
pearances and the audiences greeting
him this season are even larger than
those attending his recitals in past years.
His success as a composer appears to
have inspired him to greater perform.
ances as virtuoso and interpretative
artist, than he had previously put to his
credit as critical observers of his playing
this season assert that it is more author
itative, illuminative and moving than
ever it was. Tickets are on sale at Holz-
hauer's drug store, Broad and Market
Streets, Newark.

the infeld was much faster than in the
previous contest.

Lackawanna after scsIpers.

The Lackawanna has been waging
sharp warfare for sometime against
ticket scalpers. That they have re-
Gently won signal victory in Scran-
ton, the following from the Truth of
that city will show:
The Lackawanna Company won
decisive victory in court this morn
ing in the case againts Adolph Blau,
proprietor of the Commercial Loan
and Ticket Agency, 205 Lackawanna
avenue. Blau conducts a ticket scalp
ing business. He was arrested at the
instance of Division Passenger Agent
M. l.. Smith. of the Lackawanna road,
on the charge of violating the Penn
sylvania statue against ticketscalp
ing. His case was called before Judge
Kelly in Court Room No.2 this morn
ing. On the advice of his counsel,
Attorneys George s. Horn and Joseph
O'Brien, he pleaded guilty. Judge
Kelly, in passing sentence, told
Blau that he would be lenient with
him as this was the first case of the
kind ever tried in court. The sentence
imposed in this case must not be tax
en- as precedent, however said Judge
Kelly. The law against the unau-
thorized selling of tickets is on the
statute books and must be enforced.
The supreme court of this state has
declared a constitutional and it has
the same binding force as any other
statute. Judge Kelly then sentenced
Blau to pay a fine of $25. 90 and the
costs of prosecution. The cost will
amount to about $1,000. Blau's
attorneys made a plea for leuiency on
the ground that he was under the
impression that the Pennsylvania act
had been declared unconstitutional.
He had read of such decision having
been rendered in Buffalo, New York,
and thought that it applied here.
The Pennsylvania statute makes it a
misdemeanor for any person to buy or
sell railroad tickets unless vested
with authority to do so by the COM
pany issuing the tickets. 1t provides
a punishment of fine and imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for the vio-
lation of the act. The Lackawanna
Company was not anxious to have the
full penalty of the law enforced in
the case against Blau. Their main
object was to establish precedent and
give due warning to others who
might engage in the business. The
company has lost thousands of dollars
through the business of ticket scalpers
within the past few years. Their
losses were enormous during the con-
tinuance of the Buffalo exposition.
Blau promised not to again engage in
the business and was discharged on the
payment of the fine and costs. Major
Warren appeared for the Lackawanna
Company in the case.
