sank. Considerable trouble was expe-
rienced in raising the old vessel to the

rary repairs have been made. The
vessel is to be taken to the navy yard
for permanent repairs.

Auto SPEEDING Must Stop,

Speeding autos through the main
street of Farmingdale is to be stopped,
according to the statements of the
selectmen and other prominent citi-
zens of that town. Maine avenue is in
good condition this summer and near
ly every car which goes along that
way improves the opportunity for q
fast spin but in the future the au-
thorities intend to take measures to
stop the speeding and will make the
drivers either travel within the speed
limit or else pay the damages.
The close call to d serious accident
Sunday has influenced the selectmen
to take this action although they QaVe
been considering some action for sew
eral weeks. About o'clock Sunday
afternoon John w. Williams had a pair
of heavy horses out to the watering
trough watering them when a Gardi-
ner physician came down the street
in his automobile at a rate said to be
over 20 miles an hour by those who
saw him. The horses became frighten-
ed and one broke away from Mr.. Will
liams while the other crowded him up
against the watering trough and in
jured his left hip so that Monday he
was quite lame. The loose horse ran
in front of an electric car which was
coming along and would have been hit
had not the motorman stopped his car
in time. The physician came back to
the place and offered to pay fine but
excused his speeding by saying that
he was in a hurry TO get to South Gar
diner to see a patient. Mr.. Williams
informed him that he did not wish to
make any trouble but that in the
future he would not let him off so
easily if he was caught speeding.
