HUGH CHILBERG SMILES AND
SMILES AS HE'S ARRA|CNED
FOR IGNORING TRAFFIC LAW

The appearance OF young Hugh
Chilberg. boon companion OF John.
ny Considlne. jr., in police court
today on n charge OF violating the
traffic ordinance. resulted In a
wordy war between City Attorney
Van Ruff and Judge Gordon.
Officer r. j. Wiley testified
young Chilberg. In cycle car.
passed a Madison cable car at con.
siderable speed when woman was
getting off.
He also said Chilberg had no
numbers on the car.
Chilberg's attorney objected, on
the ground that this wasn't part OF
the charge. Van Ruff argued that
II all comes under the ordinance.
but the Judge said no. He said
the only way around II was TO try
each charge separately.
can right" said Van Ruff, and
promptly issued another warrant
against Chllberg. charging him with
having no numbers. The case will
be resumed on Tuesday.
II tickled Hugh. lie smiled and

$50 assessed against Perry for an
infraction of the speed law that
next week would have meant a Jail
sentence. Charged with going As
miles an hour, Perry denied It en-
phatically. but II didn't go.
Judge Gordon took occasion TO
tell him how lucky he was to
have II happen now. instead of
when the new schedule OF IS per
mile becomes effective next week.
For everything above and including
40 miles. the guilty parties will go
TO jail on and after Sunday.
q r. Collins was scolded by the
Judge for having no license num-
ber.
III these traffic violations don't
decrease I'll impose fines that will
give you fellows something to talk
about" he said.
The usual grist OF speeders and
traffic violators are on the docket
today. the last "speeders' day" un-
der the old schedule OF fines.
Predictions that the speed.
ers will slow up under Gordon's s.
new schedule. we're offered at the
city hall today.
