FOR BAD DRIVING
Pickhandle Hill Man Throws
Wite's Company Out
L. Of His Home.

Mrs. Mary Reese, wife OF Don
Reese, was fined SIS in police
court this morning by Mayor w.
w. Conway when convicted on
charges OF operating an automo-
bile In a rockies maner and driy.
ing a motor vehicle without an, OPP
orators license. Mrs. Reese paid
both fines and was released.
The evidence In the cas- was to
the effect that Mrs. Reese had driv.
en- the car through a fence and
hedge at the home Of George
Brobst at HOO CASTOR avenue and
later collided with another auto
mobile In the downtown section OF
the city.
Mrs. Reese said that the brakes
on the car were not working Just
right; that the driver OF. the car
she collided with stopped suddenly
and that she did not have an OPP
portunity to stop the car before It
crashed into the other car. She
also admitted that she had been
driving but a short time and that
It was her first time on Main
street with the car. y 10y
+, "A. +. Fredericks, who was i'm the
car with Mrs. Reese when the &c.
cIdent occurred, was arrested by
the police on a charge. of being in.
toxlcated. He entered a plea Of
guilty to the charge, paid a fine OF
S5 and costs and was dismissed.
Mr.. Fredericks, who claimed to be
a friend OF Mrs. Reese, said she
had picked him up on Fairmont
avenue and was Just bringing him
down town when the accident &C.
Cured.
George Giles, a resident OF Pick
handle Hill, became angry When
he arrived home last evening, found
that his wife was entertaining some
woman friends he did not approve
Of and had failed to have his sup
per ready for him: A row ensued,
and the city police were called. Po-
lIcemen Hawkins and Downey were
sent to the Giles home.
When they arrived there they
discovered that Mr.. Giles had driy,
en- away, the undesirable guests and
had retired to a room upstairs. The
officers went upstairs to arrest
Giles upon a charge of dlsorderi9
conduct upon complaint Of Mrs.
Giles. The officers found to their
surprise that Mr.. Giles, who IS
usually a very meek man, was still
mad and that he did not think he
ought to be arrested. He resisted
the officers, and, as Is usually the
case, his family came TO his assiS..
ance and the officers encountered
considerable difficulty In placing
Giles under arrest and bringing
him to the police station.
Giles put up forfeit for, his ap-
pearance in. court today and ap.
peared on scheduled time. When
his case was called he explained
matters to Mayor Conway and
apologized to the officers who ar
rested him. Mayor Conway took
into consideration his good repu.
tation In the past, the fact, that 1t
was his first appearance in court,
and the fact that he had Just
grounds for getting angry in the
first place. a fine OF $40 was i'm.
posed upon him, and upon promise
Of his good behavior the sentence
was suspended.
Joe Harris and Joe Haynes, ar.
rested on charges Of being intoxi.
Gated in the city streets, entered
pleas Of guilty and were fined So
and costs each. Haynes paid up
and was released, and Hayris' went
to fall for five DAYS.

ABANDONED RAILROADS

Twelve hundred miles of railroad In
the United States were abandoned dur
ing 1921. This may be surprising
statement at first sight, but IL Is sur
prising thing that 1t was not done long
ago.
The abandoned mileage consisted OF
short line roads running through
sparsely settled sections Of the coun-
try, and having small amount Of ira
ffic. These roads were abandoned he
cause they could not be made to pay
expenses. They never had paid.
The fact is that many railroads IN
this country are economic mistakes.
They cost too much to build, and they
cost too much to operate. They might
do better with smaller and lighter To-
comotives and cars, and less expen-
sivc roadied.
Then. the general improvement OF
the public highway and the develop
r,ent OF automobiles and motor trucks
have played havoc with many of the
ruilronds. They have been losing III
both freight and passenger traffic.
There seems to he no hope for some OF
them. and we may look for a further
oss In the country's railroad mileage
efOre the end Of 1922.
