CHARGED WITH SPEEDING

1t was reported here Sunday
evening that Knoxville automo-
bilists were the means of land
office" business by peace officers
of Granger County at Rutledge
Sunday afternoon, about twenty
being reported as having been
taken into legal custody for
speeding. Most of the persons
arrested were enroute ito Tate
Springs and preferred to pay the
$6.75 fine and costs rather than
be detained.
Tourists returning from Tate
and Rutledge Sunday night re-
port that great crowds of Grain
ger County folks gathered a.
round the J. P.'s office to watch
the speed victims get it slapped
to them. In fact, says one re-
port, the business and the crowd
get SO large that the converting
of the magistrate court in the
court house was absolutely nee
essary to accommodate and take
care of every one.
One automobilist was unfor-
tunate enough to get pinched
twice, going to and coming from
Tate's. According to the report,
he was in too much of a hurry
to get to Tate's and in too much
of a hurry to get by Rutledge
coming back. The activities
broke the quiet still of the noun
tain roads of Granger and the
good and honored town of Rut-
ledge had one of the most lively
Sundays since the last race for
justice of the peace.
The above article was publish
ed in the Knoxville Journal and
Tribune, Monday morning and is
an exaggerated account of what
happened in the "honored town
of Rutledge" on last Sunday.
There we're thirteen automo-
bilists arrested for speeding on
that day, twelve of whom sub d.
mitted and paid the fine and cost
amounting to $6.75 each. The
other fellow demanded a trial,
got it, and was relieved of $40.
and costs. 1t is true, however,
that one of the victims" though
so little of the incident, that on
his return he again fell into the
trap, and was again fined.
1t is not true that the justice
was compelled to repair to the
court house on account OF the
crowd, as all of the proceedings
were noted in the office occupied
by the magistrate. Neither is it
true that all of the victims"
were from the city of Knoxville,
as one of them raising the great
est howl was from the great
State of Kentucky.
But not many years ago the
people of Tennessee demanded
law limiting the speed of auto
mobiles and the legislature pass
ed such an act. On last Sunday
the officers "broke the quiet still
of the mountain roads of Grain
ger" and did what is being done
elsewhere; and Deputies Sheriff
Mallicoat, Waldroop, Daniel and
Hoffner made the arrests as sta
ted, and Esquire J. G. Shaver

NEW CIRCUIT IS
WELL ON ITS WAY
lnterCity Factory League Will
be Finally Organized at
Meeting Next Week.

Organization OF the Intercity Fac
tory league was practically com
pleted at a meeting OF representa-
tives Of teams in South Bend, Elk
hart and Laporte in the Office OF DR..
+. r. Carson Thursday night. After
a lengthy discussion a meeting was
arranged for either Tuesday or
Wednesday night of next week and
the club representative agreed to
bring the forfeit money with them
at that time.
The clubs which will be in the
league will be Singers and Stude-
bakers Of South Bend, the Great
Western Mfg Co. of Laporte and the
Foster Mfg. Co. of Elkhart. Repre-
senatives Of all four teams were
present.
That the league should be a strict
ly factory proposition and that out
side talent should not be employed
was agreed upon as the only basis
upon which the league could hope
to do business. At the next meet
ing provision governing the time for
" MN NAAC men AnuSl NC eIlplOEeu
before being permitted to play will
be threshed out.
Election of officers and the ap-
pointment of a schedule committee
viii feature the next meeting 1t
was agreed that a 15-game sched-
ule which permits each team to play
each other team five times during
the season was the proper thing.
1t was first planned to make the
league a six-club circuit but the
dropping of the Oliver team, which
had been counted upon to fill a
berth, made the four-club circuit
more feasible. Play in the league
will probably start on May 10 or
26 and close on the Saturday be-
fore Labor day.
