F. b. Clements was before the
municipal court this morning on
the charge OF violating the auto
mobile speed limit law. The act
that caused the arrest OF Mr..
Clements took place on the men,
orable night of June 80, when
the dedication of the new. arm
DRY building occurred. Mr.. Gle
ments carried in his automobile
Mrs. A. o. Eberhart, wife of the
governor; George F. Author, the
governors private secretary;
Adjutant General F. B. Wood and
General Gustaf widell. The ar
rival Of these distinguished per-
sons at the scenes OF the festi-
vities had been delayed by
wrong delivery OF Mrs. Eber-
hart's trunk. and the result was
that Mr.. Clements was anxious to
get them to the hall as quickly as
possible. He pleaded guilty, how
ever. .......
Judge Comstock, commenting
on the case this morning. OBJ
served that In time of peace,
even war officials were subor-
dinate to the civil laws, and
even IL Mr.. Clements had been
carrying out actual instructions
from the military officials, he was
not excusable for violating the
civil laws. .-..... -E1 r.
The Judge said he also had
been informed that Mr.. Clements
had offended against the laws
regulating automobiles since that
time. This was on the after
noon OF the day OF the Ringing
circus, July II. On that day the
Judge said he had been informed
that Mr.. Clements had forced
his automobile through a crowd
OF people that had just alighted
from a street car, which had
stopped in the middle OF the
block.
Attorney Ivan Bowen, appear
ing for Mr.. Clements, remarked
that this second charge ought not
to be considered In disposing of
the other case. but the Judge
said he took IL into considera-
ton in determining the general
conduct OF the defendant in
running his automobiles.
There was some dispute over
the actual facts about the sec
ond affair and therefore the
case was continued to ten.thirty
o'clock tomorrow morning TO al.
low time for further investiga-
ton.
