AUTO SPEED LIMIT
SHOULD Be RAISED
Fears Result Of Court Holding
Motorists Guilty of Assault
Law IMPOSES A HARDSHIP
Believes the Present Speed Limit of
Twelve Miles in Cities and Twen-
ty-five in the Open Country
Should Be Increased.

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton. = Commissioner Job H.
Lippincott, of the Department Of Mo-
tor Vehicles, attaches much import
Rnce to the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court, holding that assault and
battery may be committed with an
automobile run at excessive speed,
provided it results in personal injury.
II the Supreme Court ruling is affirm.
ed Mr.. Lippincott believes it will re-
suit in so strict an enforcement of the
motor vehicle law as to impose a
hardship upon motorists.
To avoid such a contingency, Mr..
Lippincott believes the present speed
limit of twelve miles in cities and
twenty-five miles an hour in open
country should be increased to fifteen
and thirty miles, respectively. What
ever the limit, it is Mr.. Lippincott's
view that the law must be enforced
strictly, if motorists are to be held re-
sponsible for a crime merely because
they exceed the prescribed limit.
Commenting upon the recent decision
Affirming the conviction of Walter
Schultz, OF Jersey City, for an assault
and battery committed with an auto
mobile he was running at excessive
speed, Mr. Lippincott said:
IN this decision the court held that
any operator of a car running at a
speed in excess of the limits provided
in the motor vehicle act and who,
when so operating, hit any person,
would be guilty Of the crime of as
sault and battery. Probably no de-
cision affecting the use of highways
in recent years will have such an
important bearing upon the attitude
OF the motor vehicle and police de-
partments."

ITALY DEMANDS TERRITORY FROM AUSTRIA
8 BRITISH CRUISERS SINK THE DRESDEN
us MAKES A RECORD RAID ON SHIPPING
Hospital and Supply Department Reported Removed to Wilma
While Germans Abandon Przasnysz Attack, Says Petrograd
ALLIES SLOWLY FIGHTING WAY THROUGH THE DARDANELlES

London.-The British Admiralty an
nounced that the German cruiser
Dresden, the sole survivor of the Ger
man squadron defeated off the Falk-
land Islands in December, had been
sunk off Juan Fernandez Island.
The cruiser met her fate not far
from the place where Robinson Crusoe
is supposed to have been shipwrecked
and where he and his man Friday had
man. of their adventures.
The Dresden was caught Sunday
at 9 O'Clock in the morning by three
British warships, the Glasgow the
Kent and the auxiliary cruiser Drama,
and in five minutes after she was at
tackled hauled down the colors. She
was set on fire with shells and was
blown up when the flames reached
her magazines.
The crew was saved. Fifteen of the
men were severely wounded. The
British ships were not damaged and
no one aboard of them was hurt.
Thus the sole survivor of the fleet
that sank Sir Christopher Cradock's
ships and was in turn sunk by Stur-
dee was destroyed, and on all the wa
tiers of the world, save those OF Ger
many itself, there now remain at lib
erty but three of the Kaiser's war YES
sels-the cruiser Karlsruhe and the
auxiliary cruisers PrinZ Eitel Fried
rich and Kronprinz Wilhelm. And of
these only one, the Karlsruhe, was
built to fight, the others being con-
verted merchantmen.
Three British cruisers comprised
the squadron that finally caught the
elusive German raider after a chase
that has lasted up and down the west
coast of South America, in the Strait
of Magellan and on the Atlantic since
December s, when the vessel got away
from Admiral Sturdee's fleet only by
showing her heels to the Glasgow,
which finally helped to corner her.
The fact that all the crew of the
Dresden were saved sets a new record
for rescue after an action at sea, and
a naval battle of five minutes dura-
ton is probably another record.

Sin DESTROYS.

A large tald eagle was shot in the

held firmly in a strong steel trap, hav-
ing a chain five feet long. both of these
showing the marks of the blows given
them by the eagle in his efforts to free

had not been heavy enough to prevent
the eagle from flying, they wearied the
bird and brought it within reach OF the

Governor Fielder gave out copy of
a letter he wrote in reply to one

wrote:

what the result of the passage of the
pending bills would be.
This bill was introduced in the AS

urge its passage. If you will read
the words carefully you will observe

Moreover, because the bill refers
only to companies doing business in
this State, / am afraid it would not
apply to those doing interstate bust

relating to orders and rules for op-
Grating trains, gives the Commission
no wider powers than it now has un-

it is empowered to order railroads
