EDISON, JR., BURNS UP ROAD
Does 1t in Fathers Auto-Is
Caught After Long Chase.

From The Tribune Correspondent
West Orange. n. j., oct. 3.-Theodore
Edison. the fourteen-year-old son OF
Thomas A. Edison. proved too fast an
automobile driver for a motorcycle po-
liceman this afternoon and led blue
coat a merry chase through two towns,
a distance OF nearly four miles. As II
was. the officer didn't catch the youngster
until he had halted in the yard of his
fathers laboratory.
Mrs Edison could hardly believe that
Theodore had been guilty of speeding. but
Policeman Seery demanded the surrender
of the youth. The lad was found work
ing in his experiment room. and with his
mother went back to the Montclair police
station. Mrs Edison gave cash security
for his appearance before Recorder fost
on Saturday morning. Then they left in
the automobile, with Theodore content TO
sit In the rear seat with his mother.

ing TO the statement. the number Of con-

M'CALL HEARS DISSENSION
Public Service Commission Ad-
journs for Two Weeks With
out Taking Action on
Big Petition.

Questions regarding smoking in general.
quite from a popular point OF view, were
thrashed out before the Public Service
Commission yesterday when the petition
of 72,OOO smokers for fuller recognition OF
their rights on the car lines of the city
was submitted for consideration. The
hearing was finally adjourned for two
weeks. The opposition OF the non-smok-
ers was led by DIR. Charles q. Pease. but
his ardent admirer. Annette Hazleton,
was consplcuopsly absent.
Dr. Pease was endeavoring TO convince
the commissioners that an infniteslmal
quantity of nicotine is sufficient To Kill
cat, when Chairman Edward T.. Mccall
unfeelingly decreed the adjournment.
George Gordon Battle appeared as counsel
for the petitioners The petition was ac-
companied by letter from {. \. Nhalen'
president OF the United Cigar Stores Com
pany. which stated that the 72,oO sigma
lures had been obtained without solicita-
ton
II was asked in the petition that the
commission rescind its order prohibiting
smoking on the station platforms of the
elevated railways, and that smoking cars
be provided on both elevated and sur
face lines Mr. Battle thought that
simple solution Of the problem would be
to make every fifth car a smoker. Com
missioner Eustis thought that If such a
request were granted the drinkers could
logically demand saloons on the transit
lines.
Commissioner Eustis was not entirely
opposed to smoking, II seemed, for al
though his physician had warned him
that IL would be fatal for him to continue
smoking he said that he would probably
do so. Opinion was stoutly expressed by
others that smoking was favorable TO
longevity J. W. Burberry declared that
he had smoked at times as many as
twenty-five cigars day. that his old
father smoked like a chimney. and that
his grandfather died with n pipe in ms
mouth at the age Of ninety-siX.
DR.. j. Gardner Smith put himself on
record as having no use for those that
did not like tobacco. and protested against
its use by others The courtesy OF the
average smoker is greater than that OF
the average non-smoker," said the doctor
And as for hygiene. why the average
smoker bathss more than once week
The prohibition OF smoking In most
Offices and factories was reason adj
vance, by MIR Battle why the smoker
should be allowed to indulge on the car
lines. for he might have no other oppor-
tunity during the day TO calm his nerves
General Manager Maher OF the Third
avenue elevated did not think IL would
be practicable To- have smoking cars on
his line He said that too many pas
sengers would get into IT by mistake and
cause confusion by getting of again.
: number OF women attended the hear
ing. and some of them were in favor OF
letting the men have chance To smoke
when they need to. as II made them so
much more agreeable.
