AFTER MUCH DELAY

After eleven cOntinuances, dhiefly
on request of defense, the case against
George r. Carters chauffeur T. c.

automobile ordinance, came up in po-
lice court this morning.

per request of Judge Andrade, and
Thompson appeared this moring to re-
mark that she had nothing further to
say in the premises, while Deputy At

that the city auto ordinance is opera

matter under advisement until Tues
day next.
