Automobiles always have been kept up to a
high standard of conduct in the city Of Paris,
but as Chief of Police Lepine knew his business
and took no delight in applying an arbitrary
speed law no one found fault with his regula-
tions against smoky exhausts, the use Of sirens
and headlights within the city limits. Lately
there has been change for the worse and in
stead Of attention to the wise recommendation
that safety or danger in speed depends not on a
fixed rate of travel but on circumstances and
places, there is tendency in the suburbs to
trap cars passing along certain well known
roads. whether transgressing legal limits not.
There Is also nine year old rule which de-
clares that driver shall leave his car until
he has taken all precautions against accidental
starting and until he has stopped all noise All
was well until some offcious cycling policeman
drew up warrant against the driver of a town
vehicle for leaving his engine running while his
car was unattended. Within two days a half
dozen more treated in the same manner
and cry OF indignation went up. When it
was asked in what way the gentle hum of a
modern motor could be injurious the righteously
indignant was given a copy of the law to read.

MARRIAGE NOT MONEY
Counsel for Miss Hobart Tells Why
Fullerton Was Arrested.


YoNKERs. N. y. May 13.-Judge
Joseph II. Beal. who represents Miss
Gladys Hobart, the young lady who
caused the arrest OF Robert ". Fuller
ton, at Seattle, stated to-day that 1t
was marriage, and not money. that his
client wanted.
Fullerton promised to marry Miss
Hobart" declared Judge Beall, and we
want him to keep that promise. AT a
conference with Mr.. Fullerton, Sr.,
informed him of this fact. He told me
that he would rather see his son dead
than marry a poor girl. He declared
that his son told him he did not love
Miss Hobart.
I'VE will see whether a rich mans
son may cast off a poor girl at his
pleasure, without the penalty provided
by law. or whether justice will prevail
over the man who has millions behind
him. At the time OF the conference
with Mr.. Fullerton, Sr.. l made a SOL
cmn vow that would try to place his
son behind prison bars, and ! propose
to fight this case through. II 1t takes
me until the end of my life"
Miss Hobart and young Fullerton
eloped to South America, but Fuller
ton did not keep his promise OF mar
riage. and she caused his arrest, and
New York detectives are now en- route
with him in custody.
Fullerton and the young woman, 1t Is
said, were fellow-students at Cornell
where they first met, and 1t is reported
that they were engaged to be mar
ried. Both were graduated In 1904.

VISION OF DEATH
NOT REALIZED IN
new YORK CASE

Paterson, N. j., June 14.-Mrs. Anna
Kiscelia who was scheduled to die to-
day by reason of vision three weeks
ago is still healthy and sound at the
Passaic General hospital. There is no
immediate danger of her death as she
is in the best of health. When she
found this morning that she was not
dying at that hour appointed, o'clock
she refused to take nourishment. Dur
ing the day, however, the physicians
and nurses prevailed upon the woman
to take little food and there is every
likelihood that she will not attempt to
go the starving route. 1t is generally
believed that Mrs. Kiseelia, so-called
vision of her death is nothing more
than dementia induced by the death
Of her husband several months ago.
No one outside the regular staff of
the physicians was admitted to the
room of the patient today. None of
Mrs. Kiscelsia's relatives were at the
hospital today. She will be loosely
watched for several days and in the
event of her continuing in her belief
that she has been doomed to die, a
heavenly vision, she will be commit.
