ROBINSON WTTHHOLDS
AUTO SPEEDING FIGURES
Superintendent Will Not Pub
lish Record Until After
Primary Election

Superintendent of Police Robinson has
refused to make public records of the NUM-
ber of arrests for violation Of the automo
bile traffic regulations since January l.
and the number of fines imposed upon own.
ers OF cars and driver of cars.
These records, IL is said on reliable
authority, would show that large num-
Der of reckless speeders arrested by the
police have been permitted TO go free.
Superintendent Robinson said he would
not make public the records until after the
primary election on May 10. He based
his refusal on the ground that the records
might reflect upon Magistrates allied with
either of the warning factions of the
Republican Organization.
Another pedestrian has been added to
tho long list of automobile victims. Last
night William q. Price, of $40 Elltins ave-
nue., olney, was run down and probably
fatally injured by motorcar owned and
driven by G. M. Smith, an electrical con.
tractor, OF 5423 Lawrence street. Price
was crossing 9th street near Olney ave-
nue. when the automobile struck him and
passed over his body, breaking an arm
and leg and inflicting internal injuries.
Smith picked up the injured man and
carried him to the Jewish Hospital, after
which Smith was arrested by the police of
the Branchtown station.
ArVubeu ny tne numDer OF accidents and
fatalities due to reckless speeding, the
21st Ward Board of Trade and the Tioga
Business MEMS Association last night
adopted resolutions demanding n more
rigid regulation OF automobile traffic on
the streets of the city. Both organlza-
tions urged that the police establish a
rule forbidding motor vehicles 10 pass
trolley cars halted on street crossings.
It was because motortruck sped by n
trolley recently at 22d and Vernango
streets that Miss Ida NJ. Packer. a school,
teacher, was killed.
Although Superintendent Robinson re-
fused to make public the records, 1t was
learned that 2s4 autoists were served with
notices to appear in the "speeders' court.
at 10th and Thompson streets. TO answer
to charges OF exceeding the speed limit
during the month Of April. This number
does not include automobile drivers ar
rested for recklessness or In connection
with the scores of accidents during the
period. And because of the superin-
refusal to permit examination of
the public records, II was impossible to
ascertain how many of the 234 "speeders"
were punished by the magistrates who
heard their cases.

the words of Mrs. William b. Abbey yes

her son, Edwin Austin Abbey, nephew of
the great artist who died a few years ago.
Young Abbey, who is graduate OF the
University of Pennsylvania, has been
wounded somewhere In Flanders" He Is
a private in the Second Pioneer Battalion

Soon after Abbey was graduated from
the University of Pennsylvania Engineer

service of the Canadian Pacific Railway as
a construction engineer. Prior to his enlist
ment, October 2, 1915, he was in charge of
a bridge operation in northern Ontario.
He sailed with the Canadian contingent
December 6. The last letter his parents
received gave the information that he was
on the Flanders front.

CHIEF DENIES PENROSE
ENDED CRAMP STRIKE
Union Leader Asserts Senator
Had Nothing to Do With
Settlement

A report published in a morning news
| paper today to the effect that Senator
Penrose, in the role of mediator, was
responsible for the settlement of the strike
at the William Cramp g Sons Ship.
building Company, where 100 men had
been out since April 6, was denounced as
an absolute fa1sehood this afternoon by
Charles r. Scott, international deputy or
Ranizer for the International Brotherhood
of Boiler Makers, Iron Shipbuilders and
Helpers of America, who had charge Of
the strike.
Scott declared that no appeal for help
had ever been made to Penrose and as
serted that he would rather have seen the
men go back to work beaten than to have
their differences settled through political
influence. The report that the men gave
Penrose rising vote Of thanks at meet
ing last night he also declared to be
falsehood.
The boilermakers, machinsts, rIveters,
caulkers and clippers returned to work
today. According to the men, the COM
pany has granted approximately S5 per
cent of their demands, including the in
crease of 25 per cent per 100 rivets for
the riveters and an increase of 10 cents
per hour for the boilermakers.
Discussing the report of the settlement
published in the morning newspapers
Scott said:
II deny in so far as have any knowl-
edge, that Senator Penrose had anything
to do with the strike In any way. l had
promised the men at the beginning that
II would be q clean-out fight, and neither
politics nor religion would be brought in.
1 kept that promise.
TT is an absolute falsehood that Pen.
rose was given a vote of thanks last
night His name was not mentioned at
the meeting and will leave 1t to any of
the 100 men to bear me out in this. In
SO far as l am concerned the strike was
settled through the efforts of Captain
William McFadden, of the 4th police dis.
trict, In the interests of the police de-
partment and the public.
IT have always taken the stand that
would rather see the men go back beaten
and for less money than to have the strike
settled through politics or on any other
basis than merit"

A spaghetti maker requires innumer-

The union man himself tells about the
