AUTO|STS
AFTER SCALP Of
PEACE JUSTICE
State Club Takes Action After
Hearing Reports of Fleeing
in Mercer County.
VICTIMS TELL HOW
THEY'VE BEEN STUNG
Motorists Advised to Ignore Lett
tiers Which Have Led Many
to Fall Into Trap.

! Owners and drivers of motor vehicles
all over the State are discussing the
methods employed by a justice of the
peace operating a so-called speed ,rap
in Mercer county, n while admirlng
the cleyerness of the scheme by which
his honor Is inducing motorists to part
with their money, they are determined
to wipe out the system"
That the a~utomobilists will do all in
their power to bring the matter before
the State Department of Motor Vehicles
for action was shown at the last meet
ing of the board of trustees of the New
Jersey Automobile and Motor Club,
when the matter was placed in the
hands of the clubs legal committee
with a recommendation hat that body
procure all data possible, with "a view
of placing the case before the attorney
general. 1t is also understood that the
Automobile Club of America has taken
the matter up.
Investigators of the local club say
they have learned that this justice has
collected almost $500 from motorists In
a single month, with ridiculous ease.
The constable employed by the justice
StdlluS ny tnc IOduStut duu tunes liz
number of machines as they pass. He
turns in the numbers at night and
the next morning a young woman ap-
pears at the State Department of Motor
Vehicles office and procures from the
records names and addresses of the
owners of the vehicles. AS soon as the
information Is in his hands the justice
mails q letter somewhat like this:
Dear Sir-There has been lodged
against you 6, complaint by N of the
officers of Mercer county for violating
the automobile law, to wit, exceeding
the speed of twenty miles per hour en-
the stone road leading from Trenton to
Hightstown. If you desire a trial in
this matter. al early answer will great
ly oblige me.
Under our automobile law, If you do
not appear within FIVE days | shall be
compelled TO serve a summons upon the
Department of State of Motor Veni-
cles."
h letter is worded in such a vague
and ambiguous manner that in nine
cases out of ten the recipient imaginas
tina he is in immediate danger of losing
his license, or that some other dire
action will be taken by the State de-
partment, and either visits or writes to
the justice and is fined from 81 to $25.
In addition to the fine imposed, the JUS
tice, of course, collects his costs of
court.
The big Jersey club has had so many
complaints about this case that the
secretary has been instructed by the
trustees to notify all members to pay
absolutely no attention to such letters.
A representative of the Department
of Motor Vehicles, when asked about
the matter, said:
This justice has given our depart
ment more trouble than all the others
in the State combined, as we have re-
ceived hundreds of letters of inquiry
and protests. Our invariable reply is
that the letter is neither a summons
nor a warrant, and, therefore, Is mop
erative for the purpose intended"

TO RECEIVE AMERICAN FLEET.
Preparations In New Zealand ana
Australia on Extensive Scale.

LONDON, July 17.--Reports re-
ceiued here regarding the magnifi-
cent preparations that are being made
in Australian and New Zealand ports
for the entertainment of the Amer
can fleet are provoking a great deal
of comment, The expenditure of
such vast sums of money by the col
onial cities in entertaining the fleet
of foreign power is condemned by
the London papers. An undercurrent
of jealousy of the United States runs
through many of these editorial ar
ticles, and the cruise of the Yankee
vessels is severely criticised by some
naval authorities.
On the continent, however, and es-
pecially in Germany, the political as
poets of the cruise are considered in
more favorable light.
The Marine Rundschau, which is
the subsidized organ of the German
imperial marine department, consid-
ers that the concentration Of the
American feet in the Pacific" marks
the beginning of the new epoch in the
worlds history which was foreshad-
owed by Count Yorck Won Warten-
burg, Count Waldersees chief Of
STAFF In China in 1900, when he ex-
pressed the opinion that the trend of
events lay In the direction OF union
on the part of the continental and
Atlantic powers against the Pacific
hemisphere. 1t is added that
Americas political wishes will only
be recognized ii they are backed by
the guns of her fleet, but the scope
OF her desires will be bounded by the
nayy's radius of action"
The Conservative Kreuz zeitung
Endorses these observations with the
remark that the American navy must
not only be ready to strike, but
ready to strike where strategy de-
mands. General Won ZEPPELIN then
proceeds to consider the lines of COM
munication and the harbor accommo-
dalton on the west coast of America
and in the Pacific, which he pronounc-
es to be inadequate and insecure for
fleet designed for offensive pur-
/ poses.
