JOKE WAS ON HIM
STATE AUTO INSPECTOR
ARRESTED IN HILTON.
George E. Blakeley, of Jersey City, Had
No Numbers on His Machine.
Fined $12.50.

George r. Blakely, of Jersey City. a
State inspector of motor vehicles,
while driving in Springfield avenue,
Hilton, without a number or his ma
chine, fell into Policeman Jacob Def
fur's net and was fined $12.50, includ-
ing costs, by Justice r.. d. Brewer,
yesterday afternoon.
According to Deffur. the inspector
was driving near Boyden avenue Hill
ton, where he saw him. He at once
stopped Blakely. Blakely professed to
be surprised when he found no num-
bers on his machine and then ex-
hibited his inspectors badge, with the
plea that being an inspector, he
should not be arrested.
The policeman looked at the matter diff
ferently, however, and took his man befe-a
the justice. The fine was paid by Chez
without question.
When the inspector, who is connected
with the Crescent Automobile Company. of
Jersey City, was called up on the tele-
phone today he admitted having been the
man fined. The numbers that had been
on the machine were on paste-board, he
said, and he accounted for their disap-
pearance by the statement that he had
driven through the rain the day before
and the cards had probably became wet
and dropped off without his knowledge.
Yesterday he received a hurried call from
autoist, who was in trouble. and, with
out delay, he hurried out with the ma
chine to render assistance. 1t was while
on his way that he was arrested. he said.
Mr.. Blakeley Is one Of seven State inspec-
tors of automobiles.
