Was Speeding His AO
Through the City anO
fused to Stop.
WAS FINED$
Had Party Of Ladies' and Wanh
to Catch the Staten Is
land Boat.

Chief of Police Burke placed Oscar
Lewisohn, of New York. son of the
millionaire copper king, under arrest
shortly before . o'clock this afternoon,
charging him with exceeding the
speed limit. Recorder Pickersgill
fined him so, which was readily paid.
Chief Burke was going up Smith
street about | :45 o. clock when he no.
ticed an automobile coming from New
Brunswick avenue at fearful rate.
In turning into Smith street the
chauffeur narrowly missed hitting q
wagon and knocking down number
OF people who we're crossing at the
time. The chief called to the chauf-
feur to slow down. but no attention
was paid to him and in few seconds
the machine had reached the ferry
and it was thought that the party
would-get away. The chief called
Agent Campbell up on the telephone
and told him to hold the boat until he
arrived. The request was complied
with and the party was caught.
Upon being arrested the man said
he was Mr.. Lewisohn and begged to
be allowed to 90 as he had to get to
New York within certain time.
'My father built this trolley road
here, the prisoner pleaded.
81 can't help that replied the
chief and Mr.. Lewisohn went to police
headquarters where the matter was
explained to Recorder Pickersgill.
The latter said he did not want to be
hard on anyone nor did not want the
autoists to get the idea when they
came through this city that they were
going to get soaked, but considering
the evidence and how he knew that
Chief Burke would not stop an autoist
unless he was going pretty fast, he
felt compelled to do something. He
placed the fine at $40, which Mr..
Lewisohn paid.
Lost a Trunk.
Before leaving the court Mr.. Lew
isohn explained to Chief Burke that
he was on his way from Lakewood
and that somewhere between this
city and that place a trunk, contain
ing the wearing apparel of one of
the young ladies in the party had
fallen off the top of the car and that
he would like to recover it, if pos
sible The trunk was not locked
and the party seemed very much
concerned about it. The chief called
up the different towns along the line
and asked them to be on the lookout
for the trunk.
The party left Police Headquar-
ters in time to catch the 220 o'clock
boat for Tottenville.

DESCRIBING AN AMATEUR,
The Athlete Who Enters a Contest
Solely for the Sake Of the
Honor.

And what is an amateur?-a man
who plays for the game, and for the
thrill that honorable contest with and
success over worthy rival bring to
him, writes Caspar Whitney in the
Outing Magazine. Amateurs are those
who contend for honor Professionals
are those who contend for gain. There
are no other distinctions-no "semi-
professionals no ''pro-amateurs, Ia
man is an amateur or professional.
When the victory itself ceases to be
sufficient return for winning, then the
amateur tends toward the professional,
whose incentive to win must be some
thing more material than mere thrill.
When that gain, profit, whatever you
please to call it, becomes the incen-
tive, the thrill of honorable contest
ceases to have any significance. En-
ployment of professional coaches and
handlers is followed by protest. 3nai
methods, professional spirit; and the
professional spirit tends to place win
ming above all else. Sport for sports
sake. that is the amateur. Sport for
the winning of the purse Of gold, ac-
cording to the degrees the professional
spirit has advanced-that is the pro-
fessional Amateur status rests SOLE
ly upon its complete disassociation
from professionalism in all its forms,
its trickery, its utilitarianism, its
moral and socal atmosphere.
: As the soul gives character to the
man, so the thrill of honorable contest
gives character to the amateur ath-
lete.

STARTING A FLORIDA FEUD.
One Mans Farm Floated Away in
the Night and Neighbor
Caught It.

Speaking about feuds," said John
L. Humphries, of Tampa, Fla, &C.
cording to the Denver Republican, Il
think that the strangest, in its incep.
ton at least, is one between two
families in Marion county in our
state.
"It came about In this way. You
know, in our state sometimes land
disappears during the night, and q
man wakes up to find his garden a
great sinkhole. This is, Of course,
due to the fact that Florida is built
on coral, and not very substantially
built at that, especially in some Of the
interior counties. Harry Redding had
a nice patch of Irish potatoes, and
Oliver Vance, his neighbor, had what
he called farm, and near the house
was sinkhole.
Zone night Redding's potato patch
disappeared and the next morning he
had a nice large sinkhole filed with
water, where the garden was. The
same night Vance, who had a sinkhole
when he went to bed, woke up to find
that the hole was filled with dirt, in
which there seemed to be lot of peb-
bles about the size of a mans fist.
Naturally he was surprised. He ex.
amined the pebbles to find them po-
tatoes, and after calling the family
up they got to work and gathered in
six bushels of potatoes ready for mar
ket
That's where the trouble began.
Redding claimed that under the law
where mans stock wanders on to the
premises of another without his fault,
he can go after it. He argued that the
same doctrine applied to potatoes
which had wandering habits. For he
was very sure that the potatoes on
the Vance farm belonged to him.
Vance and his friends invoked another
principle of law that a man owns his
refused to dig UP the potatoes for the
benefit Of his neighbor.
"All that happened ten years ago."
continued Mr.. Humphries, "and the
Readings and the Vances are still
armed against each other. Two or
three skirmishes have taken place be-
tween the parties and one of the Vance
boys, 18 years old, was wounded by
fire from the enemy.
"They have never spoken to each
other since that eventful night ten
years ago. Lawyers and politicians
have gone out to help them settle their
difficulties, but they were obdurate,
and if the feud grows for 20 years as
it has already, Florida and Marion
county will have feud equal to the
best that Kentucky has ever pro.
duced."

1t went on till Jugge- was nearly crazy
and there were many long black marks
charged up against his enterprising
double.
d He finally escaped by climbing out of
the window and shining down the
IRE escape. He hurried to saloon to
obtain nerve tonic, of which he was
sadly in need but had hardly entered
the establishment before he emerged
a-fying, with the ''bouncer" of the
place close to his immediate past.
Take dat!" cried the ''bouncer."

But Jugger was departing. Finally,
he obtained in another saloon the COW
eted tonic. After imbibing lie tonic
and large amount of courage with 1t,
Jugger armed himself with a club and
started out to hunt his. double.
He found him at lasti in one of the
most sumptuous saloons in the city.
Taking a firmer hold on his club, Jug
ger advanced toward his double, who
also had club and was advancing to-
ward the open doorway that was. be-
tween them. When they were only q
little way apart, Jugger raised his club
with the intention of wiping out the
wrongs that the black marks in his
notebook represented. Seeing his ad-
versary also raise his club, Jugger
leaped at him with the feroctty of a
tiger, and, with mighty stroke, shat
tered to thousand pieces-the large
plate glass mirror in which his image
had been SO perfectly reflected.
After he had been whipped by the
barkeeper and fined at the police court,
Jugger fastened out of town by the
shortest trail and reached home in a
state that bordered closely on insanity.
He never saw his double, and, to this
day, there are many long black marks
on the debit side of his notebook.
