BODICE FINED


Manager Il. e. Bodge of the Won
Hamm-Young garage was this morn
ing in police court fined $25 for reck-
less driving in violation of City Or
dinance No. 5, Judge Carlos Long inn
posing punishment.
BODICE was unprecedented week ago
by Court Officer and Automobile Speed
Inspector Fred Weed.
In view Of the long list of recent
and many serious auto accidents, the
trial of Dodge was of importance as
instancing a determination on the part
of the authorities to check if posi-
BILE the exuberance of speedomania.
Judge Long, in imposing the fine,
said: 1T is high time that an effort
was made to check the reckless and
Needless driving of automobiles. 1t is
getting so that in this city it is hard
ly safe for a person to attempt to
cross the street"
In asking that fine be imposed,
Prosecutor A. M. Brown said: There
are three classes into which unheed-
ing auto drivers may be divided for
the purpose of punishment The man
who runs down and kills another may
be charged with manslaughter or even
worse. He who endangers the lives OF
pedestrians or people in other vehi
cles on the public highway may be
| charged with needless and furious
| driving. He who is not necessarily
Immediately endangering the lives of
others, but who is exceeding the pres
cribed speed limit of fifteen miles an
hour in the city limits, may be charg-
ed with violation Of the City ordin-
ance prohibiting any greater speed.

believe that Mr.. BODICE is a master
in his business. that he is an expert
chauffeur and l also am convinced
that having such confidence in his
own skill he was likely to handle his
machine in manner born of that
confidence and was probably going
faster than he realized. He may have
been in a hurry; he saw an oppor-
tunity to speed and he hit it up.

THE LOG-BOOK

The Oceanic steamer Alameda, with
very large list of passengers and
full of freight, sailed for San Fran
cisco this morning at 8 o'clock, an
hour earlier than her usual schedule.
The change was made in order to
give the Oceanic vessel more time In
San Francisco, where she will go to
the dry dock at Hunters Point for
her regular cleaning.
Among the passengers on the Ala
media were J. p. Cooke of this city
and his family Mr.. Cooke stated that
he expected to be away for about
three months and that he was go
ing on a vacation trip. The main
object of his going at this particular
time, he said, was to be present at
the reunion of his class at Yale. He
graduated from Yale in 1894 and since
that time has not been able to be at
a single one of the annual reunions
till the present year. Mr. Cooke suf-
fered from an accident to his ankle
while playing tennis a few days ago
and is compelled to walk with cane.
The rest of the sea voyage is expected
to put him in shape, however.
w. M. Langton, of the Paradise of
the Pacific, was a passenger. 1t is
rumored that he has gone to the Coast
to look into the purchase of a plant
for new weekly paper to be started
at Waikiki, Maui.
