MAYOR AFTER
AUTOMOBILE
SPEED FIENOS
Mr. BOIlsChWGlIsT Says He Is
Determined 10 Putan End TO
Fast Driving Hare.
GO FAST THROUGH STREETS

Mayor Bollschweiler is determin-
ed to stop autoists from speeding
their machines through the streets of
this city and he told a NEWS man
this morning that he will take up the
matter with the proper authorities.
Last week Chief Burke gave or
ders to the patrolmen and plain
clothes men to arrest anyone who ex-
ceeded the speed limit in this city
The mayor says that almost every
machine that passes through the city
runs too fast and that unless it Is
stopped there is sure to be a serious
accident sooner or later.
The mayor says he is going to
have the law obeyed and anyone who
speeds after this whether it be To-
cal autoist or nonresident, he will be
arrested and fined
About o'clock this morning May
or Bollschweiler saw a Mitchell au-
tomobile pass his home at very
rapid pace and he decided that he
would investigate. The mayor was
going to telephone to the ferry and
notify them not to let the machine
go on the boat, but he feared that
the driver would become suspicious
and leave town by another route. He
decided to hurry there, thinking that
he might be able to catch the fellow
before he took the boat. When the
mayor arrived he found that the
speeder had just been in time to get
aboard the boat
The mayor says he has seen the
same machine pass his house at a
speed of at least forty miles an hour
on several occasions, and he hopes
to catch him. This auto is from out
of town.

Railway, July 15:-A special cleo
ton was held yesterday in the first,
third and fourth wards to decide on
the further use. of voting machines.

ward. The vote was 1913 to II in
the first; 113 to 40 in the third, and
108 to 20 in the fourth.
During the hours of election the
curious condition existed that the sa-
looms in the three wards which voted
were closed, with their interiors all
exposed to view, while the saloons
in the second fifth wards were wide
open and so busy the bartenders
could not handle the trade fast
enough to suit 1t.

200 LIVES LOST
ON BURNING SHIP

Valletta, Island of Malta, Nov. Is
Nearly 200 persons, passengers and
crew of the Ellerman line steamer
Sardinia, are believed TO have persisted
today when the steamer was destroyed
by fire just after she had sailed for
Alexandria. Egypt.
The Sardinia was scarcely a mile OFF
Grand harbor when the first sign Of
fire appeared. With a strong wind to
fan the flames the whole ship soon was
ablaze. Passengers and crew had
scarcely a chance for their lives.
There was a wild scene of panic on
board as the rapidly spreading flames
drove the passengers to the rails. Many
excited ones plunged into the sea and
scores are believed to have been
drowned.
Others. trapped by the fire, literally
were roasted TO death or smothered.
There were many craft In the har-
Dor at the time OF the disaster. Sew
eral tugs and small vessels rushed TO
the assistance OF the imperiled liner.
A high sea and the half gale which
prevailed at the time. however, made
1t impossible for them TO even approach
the Sardinia, and they could do little
In the way OF aid.
The Sardinia left Liverpool Novem-
Der II with a cargo of general mer-
chandise for Mediterranean ports. Her
crew numbered A. About 20 first class
and six second class passengers EN-
parked at Liverpool. Most of her other
passengers undoubtedly were Levan-
tines, Maltese and Egyptians.
