TRENTON. Nov. 14.-For driving
his car at a reckless rate of speed
Commissioners Job H. Lippincott has
revoked the drivers license of Will
liam G. vey. OF Newark. Mr.. yey,
astnongn he was cited to appear be-
fore the Motor Vehicle Commissioner.
failed to- do so, and Mr., Lippincott
decided upon the above mentioned
action.
Two other licenses have been re-
voked by the commissioner. one of
which was held by Jacob Worth, Of
Pemberton, and the other that of
Emil Koyen, of Perth Amboy. The
complaint against Mr.. Worth was
thai he was driving his car while in
an intoxicated condition. This is the
second time that his license has been
revoked, having been formerly can
scelled by former Commissioners Smith
and later r~einstated.
In the case against Mr.. Koyen it
was alleged hat he deliberately com
mitted an assault by directing his
machine at Street Commissioner John
Connors. of South Amboy, while the
latter was engaged in watering the
streets of that municipality. The ase
of Mr.. Koyen was before the COM
missioner some time ago, but decision
was reserved, owing to the fact that
Mr.. Connors had brought the matter
to the attention of the Middlesex
county grand jury. Fearing that any
decision on his part might prejudice
Koyen,s case before the Court Of
Common Pleas the Commissioner
withheld any action. Recently Koyen
was indicted by the grand jury and
the commissioner decided to revoke
his license.
PlainaeId Chauffeur Wins.
The case against Benjamin Urquart,
q colored chauffeur of Plainield, has
been dismissed by Commissioner Lip
pincott. The complaint in this case
was that Urquart's eyes were affected
and that he had been mixed up in
an accident in Plainield. but APP
peared not to have been guilty of
any reckless driving. Urquart pre-
sented a certificate from a practising
physician certifying that his eyes
were not affected.
Harry Cox, a chauffeur for Percy
r.. Pine, Of Princeton, was given a
reprimand by the commissioner for
reckless driving through Hopewell.
The complaint in this case was made
by the mayor OF that municipality.
and several citizens stated that Cox
had driven his car about forty miles
an hour with his muffler cut-out open.
Cox admitted that he was driving in
excess of the legal speed, but denied
that he was going as fast as stated in
the affidavits of the compliments.
The case against Margaret Nc
Dowell, of Cedar Grove, was dis
missed. The reason for this action
on the part of the commissioner was
due to the failure of the complainant
to either appear or submit evidence
in the case.
Upon the promise hat he would
take out regular registration tags. the
complaint against Harry A. Fish, of
Woodbury., was also dismissed. He
was charged with using manufac-
turers' tags on motor vehicles used in
his feed business.
Charge Is Dismissed.
Stating that the affidavits sub
mitted showed hat the accident was
unavoidable. the complaint against
Catherine Pickert, of Sterling. was
also dismissed by Commissioners Lip
pincott. She was charged with caus-
ing an accident in Plainfield by run
ming down a young girl riding on a
bicycle. The case against II. T.
Crawford stating that he was respon-
sible for a collision in Boonton was
dismissed The reason for the COM
missioner's action in this case was
that the complainant failed to appear.
but wrote letters which indicated
that he desired to use the department
for the purpose of collecting damages.
A. w Kayhart was the complainant
In this matter.
William Necker, an undertaken. of
Union Hill, was again before the COM
missioner for allowing cars used In
his business to travel In this State
displaying New York licenses. The
commissioner decided to dismiss the
case. but delivered a reprimand, and
upon promise of Mr.. Necker that
there would be no further cause for
complaint the matter was dropped.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Necker has New Jersey registrations
for all his cars, he said it was due
to the negligence of his employees
for failure to change the registration
tags in going from one State to an
other.
