AWFUL THRILLS
OF FIRST RIDE
Owner of New Car Quickly Dis
covers He Cannot Shift Gears
Like Demonstration.
TRAFFIC TANGLES PUzzLING
Rules Of the Road. Especially Getting
by Policeman at Crossing, often
Get Drivers Goat-Many
Things Forgotten.

When you go out with the demon
strator in the new car you have
bought. running It looks just as easy
us giving candy to child, but when
you start out by yourself-that's diff
ferent.
About the first trouble you have is
with your gears, and while you are
certain that you can shift them as
well as the demonstrator did. you dis
cover that you can't. and in all prob
ability you blame 1t on the car.
Road Rules Bother.
Then there's the rules of the road.
and especially getting by the traffic
policeman. If you ever noticed 1t.
when the officer holds up his hand you
stop and kill your engine and bump
back and forth when you go to start,
and tie up other cars. and finally two
or three cars pass you and you can
see black looks and hear a voice call
ing out something that you know isn't
complimentary.
When you try to back up you are
likely to back into another car, or
over curb, or into telephone pole.
and when you're out for the first time
you usually want the entire street
clear when you 20 to pass another
machine, and you feel like you'd ruth
er stop than try to pass street car.
Then, again, you've wondered what
was the matter with your new car
because It wouldn't 90 right and
bumped along and the engine hented
like a rnace and you couldn't get
your machine out of slow walk.
Possibly you have stopped and tele-
phoned the service man to come and
see what was the matter. He cnme.
released your brake and you were all
right

Battery Exhausted.

Then. perhaps, you allowed your
lights to burn all night in the garage
or maybe you left on your Ignition and
exhausted your battery. Also, per-
haps. you forgot all about your lights
until policeman warned you.
The new driver usually kills his en-
gine on the track when he passes in
front of n street car. Again, did you
ever step on the accelerator instead of
the brake and run over the curb? In
the winter. did you let your radiator
freeze?

Judge in Childs Case
Criticizes Prosecutor
Move to Transfer Trial Discour-
ieous, He Says; Reversal of
Order Il Asked

Justice Tierney reserved decision
yesterday on the application Of Will
lam Hamlin Childs, manager of tie
Fusion campaign of 1917, for an in
specton Of the minutes Of the grand
jury that indicted him and for q reversal
of the order transferring the trial of
the case from the Criminal Branch,
Supreme Court, to the Court of en-
eral Sessions. Mr.. Childs was indicted
on the charge that he made false re-
turns on campaign expenditures.
During the hearing, Justice Tierney
remarked: 1T seems to me most ex-
traordinary and quite discourteous on
the part of the District Attorneys Of
flee to move this transfer while the
motion for the inspection of the
minutes was still pending" The justice
also expressed his doubt as to the
legality OF the transfer
John B. Stanchfeld counsel for
Childs, said he was certain that an in
spection of the grand jury minutes
would prove there had been NO evi-
dence submitted to warrant the find
ing of an Indictment. Mr.. Stanchficld
charged the Office OF the District At
torney with sharp practice in moving
for the transfer without giving notice
to the defendant

Old Divorce Citea!
To Show Aviator
Not a Bigaranist
Introduced i'm Couri-Mariia.
of Ensign Gordon, Also
Accused of Forging and
Passing Spurious Checks

A North Carolina divorce decree was
introduced as evidence yesterday in
the trial of Ensign Frederick V. Cor
don, naval aviator, charged with
forgery, passing spurious checks and
bigamy before the general court-
martial at New York Navy Yard, The
issue is whether, under the law OF
North Carolina. Ensign Gordon's sec
ond marriage that to Miss Inez Tracy
in another state was legal. He ha
pleded guilty 10 passing spurious
checks, with the defense, however, that
he did not know he had not sufficient
funds in bank.
Father j, j. Brady, Catholic chaplain
at the navy yard. testified that he
officiated at the marriage Of Ensign
Gordon to Miss Tracy on February l6
not been married before. The first
marriage was to Miss Gala Poitevant
of New Orleans, who obtained di-
vorce from Gordon in Henderson Coun-
ty, n. c, Gordon married Miss Tracy
in Western state. but after he was
arrested he got Father Brady to per-
from Catholic marriage rites
Captain Paul Brown, the defendants
counsel, then introduced the decree
granted TO Gordon's first wife to Dis
count the bigamy charge.
After the court had adjourned TIC
case to tomorrow morning, Gordon's
counsel gave out statement which
said in part:
"There has been considerable misin-
formation in all circles regarding the
charges under which Gordon is being
tried. The fact of the matter is Cor
don has done nothing except pass
checks on banks where he did not have
sufficient funds to meet them. Whether
or rot this condition existed he pleaded
guilty to those charges which alcge
the passage of such checks. We have
denied forgery and bigamy, and the
lack of evidence will undoubtedly re-
suit in an acquittal on the forgery
charge"
Gordon was in court attired in his
naval aviators uniform.
According to testimony introduced
on Monday, handwriting on two checks
made out to the Somerset Hotel, Bos.
ton, for 500 and $35, res spectivcly, was
identified as that Of Gordon. Fhe
checks carried the signature Of Of H.
Graham"

Autopsy in Dea.ll of Million.
aire Sfevedore

Franklin Taylor, counsel for James
and Morris Auditore in their contest
of the will Of their late brother, Jo-
seph Auditore, millionaire stevodore
contractor, who died May 9, announced
yesterday he expected the testament to
be probated to-day and special guar
dian appointed. The effect OF the pro-
batting Of the will, he said, would be
to give Frank Auditore control of the
S2,O0O,0OO estate, because Of his busi-
ness relations with Joseph D. Phillips
and Charles l.. APPEL, the executors.
An action quite apart from any in
terest Joseph Auditore's relatives may
have in the case, was taken yesterday
by Supreme Court Justice Kapper, in
Brooklyn, when he signed an order
permitting District Attorney Lewis to
exhume .Audtore's body. Mr.. Lewis
arranged with the superintendent OF
Greenwood Cemetery to have the body
disinterred at 1880 O'Clock to-morroT
morning. DR.. Ernest Vaughn, of Dis
trict Attorney Lewis's Office, and Dr..
Otto Schultze, of District Attorney
Swann's Office, will perform the autopsy.

Court Gives Hylan Bus

Injunction Forbids u aralIcling
of Certain Lines of New

Mayor Hylan's bus system received
another jolt yesterday when Justice
Lydon issued an injunction restrain
ing the city from operating bus lines
that compete with certain lines Of the
New York Railway Company. The in
junction was granted on the applica-
tion of Job E. Hedges, receiver of the
railway company.
The order, however, will not be ef-
fected at once, as the justice at the
same time granted stay which will
enable the city to continue it's lines
until the Appellate Division has passed
upon the matter. The lines covered
in the order of Justice Lydon are those
paralleling some of the New York
Railway Companys cross town lines

Good morning!

One Often Sees a
Horseshoe Nailed
Upon a Barn Door

An ohservant writer once
counted seventeen horseshoes
nailed over the thresholds in one
street of good-sized country
town.
Nelson, Admiral of the British
Navy, had supcrstitious tinge in
his nature, and had great faith in
the virtue of an old iron horse
shoe nailed to the mass CT the
ship "Victory.'
Strange as it may seem, almost
every one would, a few years ago,
get out of vehicle to pick up and
carry home a horseshoe left on
the road
Now that the Fords, Fackards,
Chevrolets, Locomobiles and the
thousand other makes of automo-
biles have supplanted the good
old horse-servants who wore four
shoes, we would all be better off
for parting also with supersti-
tions and the vague theories of
the Sir Oliver Lodges.
There are no "bogies" about
this business home, where is
gathered the largest assortment
Of carefully sought merchandise
and where eeveral thousand are
waiting to we'll serve the public.
