Riders and Drivers Association Ex-
poets to Have Course Completed

Arrangements have been completed

Contractor Mcnamara at 7 o'clock to-
morrow morning. The decision to hurry
matters was reached at a meeting of the

poses not later than Christmas.
The speedway Is to extend from Sew

lance Of one mile, with a return drive
and a road for equestrians, which is 20
b arranged with jumps for those who
desire TO take their horses over them

AUTOMOBILE OWNERS
TO DISCUSS SPEED LAW
Men Who Have Been Arrested Smart
Under the Alleged False Testi-
mOny of the Policemen.

For the purpose Of taking some sort
of action to prevent unfair enforce
ment OF the speed law, a number Of
prominent automobile owners are to
meet Thursday evening in the offices
OF Fulton Gordon. at GLIB Fourteenth
Street. The call for the meeting has
been issued as the result of arrests
of machine owners who allege that the
police are mistaken when they assert
that the machines are going more than
the required eight miles an hour
Several of these owners say they
were not going as fast as the trolley
cars, yet no attempt was made TO
compel the cars to slow down. In fact.
one OF the auto owners declared the po-
lice had instructions TO allow the cars
running them
Mr.. Gordon is one of the autoists who
has been taken into custody since or
ders were sent out to the police TO
rigidly enforce the speed law. It IS
alleged that he was operating his ma
chine at the rate of sixteen miles an
hour, and the policeman who made the
arrest testified that his speedometer
showed this figure. Mr.. Gordon, how
ever. declared he was not making more
than eight miles an hour. Judge Kim
ball. however. imposed a fine Of $40
There have been more fines paid in the
last ten days by autoists than at any
time since the speed ordinance was
adopted.

Importance of the official proceedings,

comparatively empty on other days.
Sometimes we make as many as
seventy-three trips a minute said the
lift man. "and sometimes more" he

still, it's nice work, he concluded
somewhat apologetically but proudly.

Then the elevator man moved his body
