VAN NESS ACT AND MOTOR
VEHICLES ACT

The new Motor Vehicles Act, which
goes into effect on January 1, 1928, is
interesting at this time because, in it's
enforcement provisions, it so nearly
parallels the Van Ness Act; for in
stance:
Both provide for a possible impris-
onment Of six months.
Both authorize officers to make ar
rests, without warrants, for offenses
committed in their presence.
Both authorize officers to stop We
hicles for examination, without a war
rant.
Both authorize trials in a summary
manner by a magistrate, without in
dictment, and without a jury.
The Motor Vehicles Act, in this last
provision, is less c~onsiderate of the
offender than is the Van Ness Act, as
it gives authority to justices of the
peace, recorders, police magistrates, or
the Motor Vehicles Commissioner to
sit as judge and jury; whereas, the
b%ootlegger may be tried only by a
Common Pleas Court judge, or a JUS
tice of the Supreme Court.
The Motor Vehicles Act was signed
by Governor Edwards on April s, only
a few days after he had vetoed the
Van Ness Act because of it's no-jury
provision. In his veto message, the
governor said: ITO extend the practice
to the imposition Of sentences result
ing in the confinement for six months,
it seems to me, Institutes an exceed
ingly dangerous practice, and is a
blow at an institution which has
served free countries for centuries"
Four days later the governor signed
five other bills containing like pro-
visions for prison sentences, and for
trials by ordinary magistrates without
indictments or jury trials; there were
acts governing forest fires; fish, game
and birds; tenement-house supervis-
ion; optometry; dentistry.
Was the governor "bluffing" in his
veto message? Or, had he been con-
verified when he signed the other bills?
1t is safe to say that had the Van
Ness Act been directed at some other
class of law breakers other than boot
leggers, whom the governor had prom
ised to protect against the effects
of u~nconsented-to sumptuary legisla-
tion," that veto message would not
have been written.-American Issue.

Grand Jurymen
Probing Atlantic
County Affairs
Investigating Financial OPP
erationS of Board of
Chosen ~FreehOlderS
EXPERTS ON BOOKS

While numerous rumors were float
ing around the city last night concern
ing indictments found by the Grand
Jury as a result of their probe into the
actions of the Board of Freeholders in
awarding contracts and the adminis-
tration of it's financial operations gen.
orally, nothing definite could be
learned. If any indictments were
found they were impounded until a
later date when they will be presented
to County Judge Ingersoll, who is now
hearing testimony in the effort to pre-
vent the probate of the will of the late
Mrs. Alice Gerry Griswold.
The probe of the Grand Jury came
as a result of the suggestion of Chief
Justice Black, while charging the
body, that it might be well to inquire
into the matter in which the Board
was conducted.
Former State Highway Commits
sioner Walter J. Buzby was one of the
principal witnesses before the inquisi-
torial body yesterday. He is thor
.oughly familiar with road construc-
ton in the county and with the various
materials entering into the work.
Charles Kessler, Freebooter from
Absecon, an independent, was another
witness. He recently appeared before
Justice Black and caused the issuance
of a writ to bring before the Court
the payment of 100000 additional
compensation to the Hill Dredging
Company to GOV losses sustained
in building the Absecon Boulevard.
This loss was a result of increased
costs of labor and material during the
war. Under a recent state law the
payment was legally made.
All of the books of the Freeholders
are now in the hands Of the Grand
Jury and are being examined by ex-
perts. Road Supervisor Price and
Clerk Willets have been summoned to
testify.-Atlantic City Press, October
7, 1921.

RED CROSS WORKING
FOR HEALTHIER U. S.
Thousands Aided by instruction
in Care of the Sick, Food Sc
lection and First Aid.

How the American Red Cross guides
thousands of persons to health Is
shown in a summary Of the society's
activities in the health field based

The work Of the Red Cross during
the war In Its traditional field Of nurs-
ing, furnishing the military and naval
establishments Of the nation with 49,

MOTOR SIGNALS

Atlantic City autoists who have
driven to some extent in New York
and Philadelphia must feel the need
of some uniformity in the signals
which drivers give to n another in
Atlantic City.
A majority Of ears perhaps are
driven from the left side. The custom
of signalling prevailing very generally
here seems to be merely to hold out
the left hand, and that may mean that
the driver is going to turn either to
the right or to the left Che knows, but
the fellow coming up behind him
DOESN'T, or it may mean merely that
he is going to stop. In other cities,
particularly in New York, the inten-
ton of the driver about to change his
direction or speed is clearly specified
by a motion of the hand. If he is
to make a left turn, he points left with
a decisive motion of the finger; if he
is, to turn right, he rolls his hand, in
dicating the direction he is going to
take, which serves to signal the
driver to the ZEAL to proceed and pass
him on the left; if he is going to slow
up or stop in his tracks he makes an
up-and-down motion with his hand
and arm, similar to a railroad train
man.
Each one of these signals means
something definite to the motorist in
the rear. Hence they serve to avoid
confusion and prevent collisions.
There seems to be need of a general
schooling of many Atlantic City auto
drivers in some simple, uniform sig
nails of this kind.-Atlantic City Press.

RED CROSS RESCUED
100000 FROM DEATH
Spent 100000 for Relief of
Famine Sufferers in Chiria
Last Year.

TO help overcome conditions Of acute
distress in five famine stricken prov
lnces of Northern China, where NIL
lions of persons were affected by an
unprecedented shortage Of food, the
American Red Cross during the last
fiscal year spent more than $1y2OOyOOO,
100000 Of which was contributed d.
recty by National HeadQuarters and
the remainder by various groups IN
terested In the welfare Of China
Through the wide relief operations
thus made possible 1t Is estimated that
more than 100000 famine sufferers
were saved from starvation.
To the end that similar prompt re-
lief measures by the organization may
always be possible the Red Cross Is
asking continued support by the Amer
lean people by universal renewal OF
membership at the Annual Red Cross
Roll Call, November II to "a
The method Of relief employed by
the American Red Cross In Its opera
lions in China was particularly effec-
tive, for in addition to saving hundreds
Of thousands Of lives it provided China
with more than 900 miles Of permanent
roads that are sorely needed to pre-
vent a re occurrence of famine. At one
time the Red Cross employed $4,000
Chinese workmen, paying them in food
for themselves and dependents, this
1ood being brought in from Manchuria
n else where.
