GOV. DOUGLAS HELD UP.
SUNNI oned to Court for Alleged Violation
Of Speed Law.

BUzzARDs BAY. Mass. July lO.-Charged
with overspeedng his automobile through
the streets of this village, Gov. William L..
Douglas was held up by the officers sta
toned on the eighth Of mile stretch OF
highway bet ween the railroad station and
post Office late yesterday afternoon and
summoned to appear before the district
court in Barnstabe on July ~.
Gov. Douglas was not driving his big
touring car at the time, having but few
moments before given up the wheel to his
SON in law. Mr. Richmond.
Gov Douglas, with his wife, daughter
and son-in-law, left his summer home at
Monument Beach late in the afternoon
to enjoy the evening breezss along the
upper bay shore. According to the state
ment of MIR. Richmond the car was running
about eight miles an hour when the offcers
jumped out into the middle OF the road
and stopped the party.
The officers, who had been on duty since
early morning, had been kept busy holding
up drivers Of touring cars and other auto
mobiles, and when the car containing Gov.
Douglas and his party came UP the road
they called halt.
Gov. Douglas did not say anything.
Mr. Richmond asked the officers II they
had not made mistake In taking the time,
as the speedometer showed only about eight
miles an hour. The officers said that they
had not made any mistake, that the ma
chine was exceeding the speed limit, and
that they must do their duty and summon
the owner into court.
