That the members of the Westerly town council are consistent with their action in ordering the police to enforce the automobile laws was demonstrated by Councilman Albert H. Langworthy "Wednesday morning. With his son Nathan he was near Mastuxet brook on the Watch Hill road and in conver- satien with Supervisor Cheesbro on highway matters, when an automobile of high power came down the hill at q rate of about thirty five miles an hour, and decklessly driven endanger- ing team that was near the bottom of the hill. Mir. Langworthy noted the registered number of the machine -6s75 R. I.
 MT. Langworthy and his son came in their automobile to Westerly and lodged complaint with Chief Brans- feid. Hardly had this been done when .eport came that the automobile had been to Watch Hill and returned and was then at the railway station.
 Police Sergeant Brown went to the station and arrested the chauffeur, Sidney L. Rogers of Boston, who is in the employ of Arthur G. Merriam. with his family occupying the Wayne cot tage at Watch Hill.
 Rogers was arraigned before Clerk Clarence F. Roche in the Third district court, charged with reckless driving and exceeding the speed limit. He pleaded not guilty and bonds were fixed at $500 for appearance for trial at the regular session of court Fri day.
 It was noon when Rogers was ar raigned and he was released in custody of his attorney. Herbert W. Rathbun, until 1.30 in the afternoon, when the accused reappeared and furnished the required bond with Charles w. Page surety
 Rogers asserted that his car is of the chain drive type and makes more noise and gives impression that it is travelling faster than shaft-driven cars and is therefore deceptive as to speed. He says he was not going faster than twenty miles an hour. and that he was not driving recklessly, as he had the car under absolute control.
 Councilman Iangw orthy, and his son Nathan of Hartford, who is exper- fenced in automobile driving, and Su- pervisor Cheesbro, who drives a car daily, declare that the Merriam ma chine was going at least a 35-mile an hour clip down the hill and was driven in a most reckless manner.
 This is the first arrest made since the town council ordered enforcement of the automobile law, and the com plainants assured Chief BransfieId that he could consider them as will ing witnesses At the town council meeting Monday, Councilman Lang worthy in urging the law enforcement,
