Th1rty-four drivers paid fines
Twenty-seven cases were continued
and four We're dismissed.
Judge Wilmeth varied greatly
from the schedule of fines adopted
several months ago.
Stores Her Car
Among those who agreed to store
their cars was Mrs. Marie Etter. 1928
Adams St, who agreed not to drive
for twenty-five days rather than pay
fine of $40 and costs. She pleaded
not guilty when charged with driv-
ing thirty-three miles an hour.
Judge Wilmeth explained to the
motorists the great diversity in fines
imposed on various drivers charged
with the same number of miles by
saying that he took into considera-
ton the time and place tf arrest and
traffic conditions.
Fines for thirty miles an hour
ranged from SO to $50.
During his lecture Wilmeth lined
the prisoners up along the wall of
the crowded courtroom.
Judge Quotes Figures
"In 1923" he said, "twenty-four
persons were killed in indianapolis
in accidents involving automobiles
Thus far this year, twenty have
been killed in the city and twenty
six in Marion County. At that rate
tho fatalities for his year will equal
those of last year.
The percentage of deaths in
volving automobiles was fourteen to
every 100000 population in 1922. In
Los Angeles for the same year the
percentage was twenty nine for
every 100000 population; in Chicago
twenty-five. All Of these figures are
too high. If you hear any of your
friends complaining that driving in
Indianapolis is slow. remind them
that of the difference in the per
centage of deaths in Chicago and
Los Angeles and indianapolis.
Asks Better Laws
The, judge cited instances of chill
CleI ana dQQllS 4uJUItU DS duIOluO-
biles who had appeared before him
in traffic cases. He said he hoped
that more stringent laws regarding
speeding would be passed, and ended
with an explanation of the new sys-
tenn of fines.
Judge Wilmeth continued the trial
Of cases after the hour that was
customary. During the morning he
stopped hearing on traffic cases long
enough to try an outside case so
that a woman carrying a baby could
leave the sweltering courtroom.
Turning to resume the traffic
trials, the judge remarked: 1T might
interest citizens to knew that 80 900
cases went through this court last
year and 2,4O0 last month";

test Predicted,
BY ROBERT BENDER,
United Netcs StaG Correspondent


NEW YORK, June 19.-Wilham
Gibbs McAdoo today called his STRAIT
egists into conference to map out
short, sharp campaign to effect his
nomination in the Democratic ma
tional convention on or before the
tenth ballot.
Those called were Senator Garter
Glass, diminutive statesman from
Virginia, who arrived today in "A
Panama hat and white Palm Beach
suit to find himself a prominent tark
horse; Tom Love, Texas; J. Bruce
Kramer and Homer S. Cummings,
formerly chairman Of the Democratic
national committee.
At the same time the opposition
forces were preparing to prolong ihe
struggle in hope of breaking down
strength of the former Treasury
chief and pushing him out Or the
running.
Peak at Fifth
Judge Rockwell. campaign man
ager fer McAdoo says the latter's
strength may reach it's peak as
early as the ffth ballot and that Nc
Adoo will surely go over by the
tenth.
George Brennan, Illinois chieftain,
who wants Al Smith nominated
says there will be no early decision
and intimates voting may surpasS
the endurance test cf 1920-when it
required forty-four ballots to nomi-
set in 1912 when Woodrow Wilson
was nominated on the forty-sixth
ballot.
Strategy of the Anti-McAdoo
forces at the outset will be to get
rid Of McAdoo first" Then Smith
will be given his big chance and, If
he fails Of nomination. the time will
have arrived to agree in the rival
camps upon a compromise.
"We Will VIM
McAdoo's supporters are carrying
on a Coue-ized campaign Of we will
win, we will win" They are talk
ing it constantly and as Judge Rock
well says, we're going to yell every
time McAdoo's name is mentioned,
every time ballot is announced--in
fact we're going to yell for him con.
stantly."
On the other hand, Brennan, al
most isolated in the room of the
eighth floor of the Waldorf. con
ferred with Smith. Mayor Hylan and
other of the Smith and anti-McAdoo

coming struggle.
One of the first balloons to go up
from these conferences was labeled
Smith-Hearst political peace re-
ported"
1t was said the feud between the
Governor and the publisher had been
healed through Brennans efforts and
that Hearst papers will not attack
the Smith candidacy. Meantime, the
Hearst papers in New York appeared
today. devoting much of their space
to friendly consideration of McAdoo
Anti-kIan Plank
Another storm signal sent up by
Brennan was announcement that he
favors plank in the platform men
tioning the Ku-Klux Klan by name
and denouncing it and it's principles
This might be construed as a dou
BILE edge stroke-directed on the one
hand against McAdoo, who has been
alleged frequently to be profiting by
Klan support and indicating on the
other hand that Brennan might ulti
mately take kindly to candidacy of
Senator Underwood of Alabama. who
makes the Klan one of his major
issues.
