LONDON. ENGLAND, May 7.--Lord

concludes with the following reply to
the German suggestion that terms of

Charge Made July q.

Admiral Kane was arrested july 4,
charged by the sheriff with exceeding
the speed law of twelve miles an hour
provided by the town ordinance for the
government of the streets of Gathers
burg, and upon trial-was fined S. He
refused to pay the fine, and accompa :
MED by his counsel. John A. Garrett.
and a deputy sheriff. he motored to
Rockville. where writ of hapeaS
corpus was sued out to test the validity
of the town ordinance. Admiral Kane
was released from custody to appear
before the circuit court at Rockville
this morning.
Attorney Garrett, in the admral's be-
half in court this morning contended
that the law passed at the recent ses-
sion Of the Maryland legislature. eff
fective July 1, limited the speed of
automobiles to twelve miles an hour
in the thickly settled streets of the
towns of the state and to eighteen
miles an hour in less thickly settled
districts, and that the state law ex-
pressly repealed all town ordinances
inconsistent Herewith.
Says Revision of Law May Result.
His contention was sustained by
Judge Peter, who. in rendering his de-
cision, stated that in view of the pro-
visions of the state law it would prob
ably be necessary to overhaul and re-
wise the town ordinances upon the sub
ject throughout the state. The town
of GaitherSburg was represented by
States Attorney Albert NJ. Bouic and
Town Attorney William H. Talbot.
