AUTO DRIVERS ON
SECOND 0FFENSE
East Orange Recorder Scores
Man Found Guilty of Exceed
ing Speed Limit.

Application was made today by
Charles Elm, an attorney, brother of
Nat Elm, of 213 Peshine avenue, this
city, for a reduction OF the SIS fine
imposed on the latter Tuesday by Re
corder Francis a. Mott, jr., in the East
Orange Police Court. telling Recorder
Mott it was the first offense OF his
brother.
Recorder Mott told how Elm had
pleaded guilty when arraigned and
claimed he had tried to deceive the
court in every instance. He told Of
the different statements made by the
defendant when testifying.
This court has been patient in deal
ing with Automobiles found guilty Of
violating the speed laws" the recorder
said. "Autoists seem to think they
have the right to exceed the speed
limit when driving high power cars
and go through this city with an utter
disregard for human life. They evil
IDENTIFY do not realize they may be con-
victed of manslaughter if they kill
someone.
Il started first to suspend sentence.
next imposed a fine of S. and up to $40.
but the practise of speeding was not
broken up. ! even imposed fines of 500,
but heavy fines do not seem to meet the
situation.
This defendant has attempted to de-
ceive the court. He has been using a
fictitious number. one that has been
lost by the Roselle Garage, although he
first claimed Il was given him by the
Clinton Garage. The statue provides a
fine OF $500 or Imprisonment for this
o~ffense, and he did not own a drivers
license.
This case will be reported to the
motor vehicle department of The State
and II it tolerates any such practise we
might just as well throw the laws out
ON the street, for then ii will be no use
having numbers on vehicles: ] have
made up my mind to impose a Jail SEN
tonce for second Offenders in the future,
not giying them the privilege Of paying
a fine. The press has given these cases
wide publicity, yet tho imposing of
heavy fines does moi seem to deter
many autoists from violating the law.
mo Inc viii stop the practise, AMI
the sooner the Legislature awakes 3
the fact that the imposing Of a fine o..
Jail sentence is left to a trial judge the
sooner will speeding be stopped.
1.-THE defendant in this case has tried
to '~bambozzle' the court, 50, to speak,
and I sec no reason for lowering the
fine and will welcome any review by
the Supreme Court
Elm was given until 6 o'clock to-
night to either pay the fine or file O
bond for appealing the case, He FROM
Used to do either.

SEEK POWER To
FORCE ABOLITION
OF DEATH-TRAPs
East Orange Wants Authority
to Proceed in Grade-Cross-
ing Matter.

The arbitrary stand of Lackawanna
railroad officials with Orange and East
Orange as evidenced within the last
few lays will probably result in the
introduction of a bill before the next
Legislature allowing municipalities to
proceed in compelling the abolition of
grade crossings without resorting to
the attorney-generals office.
There is a law on the statute books
for municipalities desiring the removal
of crossings to start suit through the
encouragement, but the legislation is
not thorough enough, and one case
over the junction d~eath-trap in East
Orange has been slumbering ins the
courts a long period. Mayor Julian A.
Gregory will interest Orange officials
in the introduction of the bill. Re
garding the grade crossings he said
today:
I'VE have stenographic minutes of
all that transpired at conferences held
with President Truesdale and other
Lackawanna officials at conferences
with former railroad committees, and
IN light of all that has transpired I
think the equities of the case are n
tirely with the city and the position 1t
has maintained.
1.-THE experience of Orange, as re
ported by the press last night, together
with the letter l received from Presi-
den Truesdale yesterday, show 50
conclusively the arbitrary stand of the
Lackawanna. refusing as it does to
meet the officials of the various mu-
inequalities and confer on the advisa-
bility of any other plan except their
own, should convince the public that
we must now take militant steps to
have the grade crossings eliminated.
Il think it can best be don by
drafting and Introducing in the next
Legislature a bill enabling municipal
ties to proceed directly without the in
strumentality of the encouragement
to compel the railroads to grant the
relief demanded"
Mayor Gregory will appoint a COM
mittee of citizens shortly, and they will
be called upo to approve or ~disappr9ye
of what the mayor or railroad COM
mittee has done.

VETERANS TURN OUT FOR

A brief but impressive ceremony at
the New Jersey Home for Disabled SOL
diers in Kearny at 9 o'clock this morn
ing was the raising of the flag on the

thea Grub. daughter of the command
ant, and the appropriate selections for

DARK HORSE MAY
END DEADLOCK IN
ORANGE COUNCIL

Tonight the Orange Common Council
will make another effort to agree on
the appointments which have been
pending before hat body. so hat the
apportionment resolution may be
passed. When an attempt was made to
name the appointees Monday night the
meeting broke up at 1890 after a long
wrangle. There al six Republicans
and eli ht Democrats, but the Demo-
Gratis are split on the question of filling
vacancies and the appointments have
in this way been tied up.
Albert f. Robinson. a Republican, is
the present tax assessor. William
Kearney, president Of the Hatters'
union, is the Democratic candidate. But
Henry C. Stetson, "A so-called New
Idea" Democrat. refuses to vote for
Kearney. thus holding up the appoint
ment.
There is a rumor today that Alfred
Timpson may possibly be substituted for
William kearney AZ a candidate for the
assessors position to break the dead
lock. Once that is done, it is expected
that the remaining appointments will
be quickly decided upon.
The other vacancies, while of less i'm
portance, arc large enough to insure a
holly contested fight at tonight's meet
ing. There is a vacancy in the tax Of
flee, in the clerks office, in the Board
of Health. and a tree commissioner is
TO be named. A police commissioner
and a fire commissioners are also to be
appointed if the meeting runs
smoothly.
At a Republican caucus held las1
night at the home of Andrew J. Heb
erling, of the Fifth ward, it was de-
cided to contest the Democratic APP
pointments throughout. This has been
the attitude of the Republican mem
bers. who have been meeting regularly
at the various homes of the six men,
bers of the minority.

FORMER HEAD Of
BOARD IN TILT
WITH SUCCESSOR

If the repartee exchanged between
President r. H.. Powers Farr. Of the
West Orange Board of Education, and
former President George Robinson at
a meeting of the BOARD last night
means anything it is apparent there
will be a spirited discussion at many
meetings of the board this year. 1t
was generally known after the recent
election of t'le School Board that Mr..
Robinson was entirely dissatisfied with
the results, and there IA significance
lent to the belief last night.
There was a misunderstanding by
MI. Robinson over the appointments of
teachers and a discussion between
Mr.. Farr and Mr.. Robinson followed.
Noicing his indignation at several
statements made by MIR. Robinson,
President FAIR said that he wanted 1t
distinctly understood that harmony
was to be the keynote of the board,
and he hoped this would be kept in
mind by the members. President Fafr
said he hoped his predecessor would
change his attitude to conform to the
general desires for harmony. and also
made a general request to the ummit-
tees, particularly the %chairmen, to
show a more active interest in affairs
than had been manifested in thf past
few months.
The discussion vas ooSasioned by MIR.
Robinson's complaint hat the usual
custom of permitting the retiring
teachers committee to shape the pre-
liminary plans for the budget had not
been strictly adhered to by the new
committee. He commented upon the
attitude of the new regime in charge
of affairs. President FAIR explained
the details that Mr.. Robinson was
solicitous about and assured him that
the old custom had been followed. Ee
then made his speech urging harmony.
