AUTO SPEEOERS
IN THREE WEEKS
South Orange Policeman Breaks
Record With Seven Arrests
in Two Days.

AS a terror to speeding autoists
Motorcycle Policeman Edward a
Tracey, of South Orange, has no equal
in the State, 1t is claimed. In two
hours time on Saturday afternoon the
young bluecoat corralled five speeders.
10 add to his record he nabbed two
more last night, making a total Of
nineteen arrests for speeding in a Pc
riod of three weeks, or since he began
his work for the season on the motor
cycle. M
Besides setting a record for arrests
in a day in South Orange Tracey by
far beat the monthly arrest record of
individual members of the force. The
record made by Policeman Frederick
Allen in May four years ago of nine
arrests stood until Tracey smashed it.
If Tracey was an East Orange officer
he would add much more to the funds
of the State, for Recorder Francis A.
.c,tt, jr., fines the speed law ~violators
as much as 800 for an offense. In
South Orange, however, Police Justice
j. Martin Roll has made a limit of $40
for the first offense Saturday they
came so fast that he decided to place
costs on them and made 1t $40. So, Of
which all but SO cents goes into the
village treasury. The remainder goes
to the State to be devoted to road pur-
poses.
