the assertion Of Clarence Wolf, OF

corporation.
A charter has already been secured
in New Jersey. The company was
incorporated in Camden this after
noon. Mr.. Wolf says that the surveys

and from Judge H c. Phelps, Of the
District Court OF Lee, are on their re.
spective ways to Washington and

Hugh Guerney, third secretary Of the
British Embassy whom he fined Mon
lay for violating the automobile speed
aw and for contempt of court. The
total fines of $50 have been RENTED.

ANNOYANCE FELT IN LONDON.
Mr.. Guerney's Claim for Diplomatic Exemption
Seems Trifling 10 Officials.

London (By Cable).-The West
minister Gazette accurately sums up
the official opinion of the incident re-
sulting from the fning by Justice
Phelps. Of Lee, Mass, of Hugh Cur
ney, third secretary of the British
Embassy at Washington, for violating
the speed law relating to automobiles
and for contempt of court, saying:
1T seems desirable that gentlemen
connected with the legations should
keep on the safe side of local law
when they use motor cars, but if per-
chance they transgress, the simplest,
quietest plan is, perhaps, to waive
their privilege and pay the fine.
No little annoyance is exhibited in
official quarters here at the claim
made by Mr.. Gurney for diplomatic
exemption, with the consequent pub
licity, over a trihing affair. 1t is re-
called, however, that when the son
OF Henry White, secretary of the
American Embassy in London, and
Spencer Eddy, in 1900, when he was
third secretary of the embassy, were
summoned here for riding bicycles on
a footpath, similar exemption was
claimed, and reference was then made
to the statute of 1908, whereby any
British official acting as Judge Phelps
did toward a diplomat became emen-
able not only to severe penalties, but
even to fogging."
