For Modlfication OF Auto sratute

For Modification of Auto Statute,
Backed by what he claimed was
the Endorsement Of every automobile
club in the state, as we'll as by the
approval of big majority Of indi-
vidual New Jersey motorists, Major
ity Leader Walter e. Edge, of At
lantic county, stands sponsor in the
house at Trenton for the introduc-
tion of an amendment to the Ere
linghuysen automobile law to permit
non resident auUoists to come into
the state for three ten-day periods
each year without extra registration
and without the payment of a Ii
cenSe fee. The measure was first
submitted to Commissioner of Mo-
tor Vehicles j. B. r. Smith who.
while not giving it his official sane
tion, said he personally thought the
proposed act asgood one. That it
will be opposed by President Freling-
huysen, of the senate, Mr.. Edge ex-
poets, however, although he is quite
confident Of getting it through the
lower branch.
Last year the Frelinghuysen law
was amended by the Colgate bill,
which requires nonresident motor
lists to pay 81 license fee when en-
tering New Jersey, and after such
payment they are allowed the use of
the state roads for an eight-day pc
riod each year. Mr.. Colgate favored
the no-IicenSe law, however, but con-
sented to the 81 proposition after the
farmer members of the legislature
had raised a kick.

CASE CONTINUED.

Some excitement was caused about
two O'Clock this morning by several
pistol shots in the square bounded by
Queen, Princess, Fairfax and Royal
streets. Officers Knight and Young,
as well as people living nearby, had
their attention attracted by the sus-
piciOus actions of two young negro
men. thought TO be Nelson Banks and
John Bryant. 1t was alleged that
BRYANT was lying on the shed OF his
kitchen overlooking an alley and Banks
was lighting paper and, 1t was sup
posed, attempting TO open the back gate
Of an adjoining house. Officer Knight
entered the house in which the two
colored men reside and seized Banks,
who at the time was in tho kitchen.
The darkey resisted the officers and
breaking away from him ran. The
officer discharged his pistol several
times at the fugitive, the latter crying
murder at each shot. Banks left the
right sleeve OF his shirt in Mr. Knight
hand, it having been torn off in the
scuffle. About two hours later the
two officers returned to the house and
arrested the men They were brought
before the Police Court this morning,
when Mr.. r. d. Brumback appeared
for the prisoners. Bryant claimed to be
in bed when Officer knight entered the
house and attempted to arrest Banks,
and his statement was corrobOrated by
his mother and other inmates Of the
house, but Banks, who boards with
Bryant's mother, stated that Bryant
was on the roof Of the kitchen. Banks
stated that he had lighted a piece OF
paper for the purpose of finding coin
he had dropped, and that he was sitting
in the kitchen when Officer Knight en-
tered. He alleged that the officer wore
no coat nor anything to indicate that
he is an officer, and not knowing him
he naturally broke away and ran.
Justic Cation continued the case until
