AUTOMOBILE 'AD'
 IN COURT TODAY
Agreement With LyCeum Man.
 ager Was Misunderstood

An advertising scheme in which NJ A. Phelon, in charge of the Hartford district for the Mack Motor Truck company, and Benjamin Salvini, man. ager of the Lyceum theater, took part resulted in the appearance of the former in police court this morning on charge of allowing a car bear ing dealers marker to be used for commercial purposes. The accused was notified to appear in court after a Mack truck with x markers had passed through the street advertis- ing a picture to be shown at the Lyceum. Patrolman Thomas Feeney asked the driver who he was work ing for, and was told that the Ly- ceum theater was to pay. Salvini, the manager, told Patrolman Clarence Lanphere that he was paying $16 a day for the truck and driver. This, however. Phelon and his local man. ager, Stanley Platt, denied. The only consideration was the advertisement for this particular brand of auto truck, one of which appears in the picture, Phelon stated. Judge John H. Kirkham discharged the accused.
 The specific charges brought against the dealer were that he had permit ted dealers car to be used for com- mercial purposes, and that he had rented car with dealers markers.

 Judgment in the case of Howard Stevens. charged with passing traffic policeman after he had been signalled to stop. was suspended The accused was arrested yesterday aft ernoon at the corner of South Main and Ellis streets by Patrolman Mich ael Cosgrove following his alleged failure to observe the rule of traffic According to the policeman's story, Stevens machine was going in a west erly direction on Ellis street while another car was coming northerly on South Main street. Stevens was mo- toned to stop. As the other machine came ahead the accused attempted to cross the street, forcing the sec ond driver to the sidewalk where he crashed into building, causing dam- age to his automobile.
 Stevens explained that he had the legal right of way and when the policeman signalled he was positive that he had been directed to cross the intersection. The signal given him could hardly be mistaken for a sign to stop. the accused said.
