MONTPELIER
Willis p Page Fined SIS for Operating
Automobile Without License.


Willis P. Page, who represents the
American Tobacco company appeared be-
fore Judge H. NJ Harvey this morning,
pleading guilty to operating an automo-
bile without license and was fined $40
and costs. This is the cleaning up OF
the action which was started last Thurs
day evening when r. Page and girl
were Joy riding and in which Horace
Morton lost his operators license last
week for giving inaccurate information
to the secretary of state. 1t appears
that Page owns the car but did not have
license to operate and that Morton, who
drove with him. held the operators Ii
cense, Page was followed Friday morn
ing to Burlington. An attorney appeared
for Morton Friday evening, asking what
could be done to secure the return OF
Morton's license. He was advised that
Page must be produced at the secretary
of states Office and then the matter
might be taken under consideration but
not until that time. 1t appears that
Page was driving the car and when
asked by the secretary of state to show
his operators license said it was in his
vest at Dewey park. The ear was driven
there. Then Morton cai''ed the ma
chine. Mr.. Black went back to Barre
and investigated the matter from that
point of view, Page appeared before the
secretary of state this morning and to
his surprise Judge E. NJ. Harvey also
was present and had papers before him
for prosecution of the case, which took
place, and the above fine imposed.
