OVER 600 AUTOISTS
 CALLED ON CARPET
State Motor Vehicle Dept. Warns
 Drivers ~

More than 800 motor vehicle oper- ators were called up Ion the carpet" in the state motor vehicle department for infractions of the motor vehicle law during the first six months of this year. All but sixty eight of them were given hearings to offer reasons why licenses which had been revoked shuold be returned to them. The others were in the nature of confer ences at which the department called drivers attention to the fact that their records, as kept on file in the department, were unfavorable, and, in some cases, that further complaints against them would result in suspen- sions.
 It is a fact that the department re- ceives fully as many complaints of reckless driving on the highways from private citizens as from police authori- ties. Hundreds of drivers who feel that they have been able to speed without molestation by the police are the subjects of complaints pouring in to the department by mail every week. The mere fact that complaint has been registered against an oper- ator is not sufficient to cause a black mark on his record, as the depart ment satisfies itself by careful inves- tigation whether the complaints are justified. This is to obviate injustice to operators through mistakes by the compliments in writing down regis tration numbers or through personal suite of enemies. In cases where the department is convinced that prob able cause" exists, the operator in- volved Is either notified by mail or summoned for conference at the department. to explain. Such con- ferences are largely informal, and often result in warnings to the oper- ators.
 At the hearings given to operators seeking return of suspended licenses, which are held at the rate of at least five day, those who testify are re- quired to do so under oath rendering them liable to charges of perjury if they are discovered departing from the truth.

SHAVER KNOCKS
 k COOLIDGE SPEECH Democratic Chairman Takes Issue i With Honesty Statement

Chicago. Aug. 15.--Characterising the speech of President Coolidge &C., cepting the republican presidential nomination as "the best justification for the democratic issue of honesty in government" Clem l.. Shaver. chairman of the democratic national committee in statement issued here last night, declared the presidents &C., ceptance speech Is not an adequate answer to the charges of misconduct in office by the republican party.
 The speech of the president raises at once the question of whether or not the American people are capable of clear-headed thinking" Mir. Sha- ver's statement said. We think they are He evidently thinks they are not No other conclusion seems possible when you consider his messages deal ing with scandals of the last four years.
 Tn effect he says that there was no dishonesty because the republican ad- n1inistration inaugurated the budget system. Let me quote his words: Tn all my studies of political hist ory, cannot recall an administration which was desirous of q dishonest and cor rupt government that, for the pur- pose of checking eXtrayagance ever undertook to introduce a budget sys- tenn to cut down taxes, to purge the payrolls, 10 make enormous reduc- tions in the public debt and to lay frmer foundations. for the peace of the world. That is not the way of dishonesty
 We are entitled with all respect to ask what the president means by this amazing statement, What sort of sn answer is this Q the bribe-taking in the department of the interior, the stealing in the veterans bureau and the graft in inc department of jus tce9 Does the president mean that because of the budget system these things did not occur? Or does he mean that if they did occur that be- cause of the budget system they were not dishonest. or does he mean be- cause of the budget system the party of which he is Inc leader and csndi- date is not responsible and should not

 The Russian Orthodox Greek Cath ollie church in America and the Rev. John S. Kedrovsky, of Hartford, Conn.,, its plenipotentiary delegate and metropolitan for all America, were the complainants.

be criticized? am at loss to fol- low the logic of the presidents de- fense.
 Even more increditable however, than the presidents reply above quot ed. is his eulogistic reference to the conduct of the veterans bureau under the last administration. For the pres. ident, as presidential candidate to boast of what his party did for the disabled soldiers through the depart ment and to ignore the fact that his party placed and maintained un- til forced out at the head of that de- partment a man now under indict- ment for stealing its funds, takes a sort of political courage I did not know existed.
 If this is not complacency in the fact of corruption, what Is 1t? It seems impossible that Mir. Coolidge should think his budget an economy argument. an adequate answer to a corruption that has shaken the faith of the people in their government, or that he thinks them so forgetful that they will not recall the fact about what members of his own party have called the tragic footing of the vet erans' bureau"

GIVEN SENTENCE and fine
FOR RECKLESS DRIVING OF AUTO

the Waterville police station. It was
just barely dusk.
Albert Costley was the next wit
ness. He lives on the River road.
His auto was parked a short dis
lance beyond and facing the place
where the collision occurred. His
car was a Ford and as the engine
was idling and the headlights which
run on the magnetic were dim as a
result of the slow running motor. He
was sitting in his car talking and
saw the team and the car coming
toward him. He saw the car swing
and the crash. He was about 800
feet from the team. 1t was about
twilight. He thought the car went
$50 to 200 feet after the accident oc-
CURED. 1t was between 7.so and 8
o'clock.
Aubrey L. Tingley said he was a
farmer on the River road. He had
just finished supper and heard the
car approaching at a high rate of
speed. Mr.. Brooks told Mr.. Tingley
that he was not driving fast shortly
after the trouble.
In the cross examination Mr.. Ting
ley was unable to names the speed OF
the car.
The state rested at this time and
after a short conference with his
client Mr.. Matthew called him to the
stand.
Brooks testified he was % years Of
age and worked at the Hollingsworth
and Whitney mill. He was going to
his fathers home in Sidney. He left
Waterville about 1855 or and went
down the River road. He looked at
his speedometer half a mile before
he hit the team and it registered be-
tween 80 and 35 miles an hour. He
said the accident occurred about $40.
He did not see a team but saw the
car on the hill and though 1t was ap-
preaching. He thought the team
must have been in the hollow. He
saw 1t. He swerved out and put on
his brakes but it was too late. His
car went so to 60 feet. He got out
and returned to where the wagon
was demolished. He went down yes
terday morning with his brother-in-
law and they measured the distance
from the scene Of the accident to
where he had stopped and removed a
piece of his bumper and 1t registered
AZ feet. He drove to the top Of the
hill and turned around and was go
ing back to the police station and
report when Churchill told him that
he had called the police. He had
driven a car for four years.
In the cross examination he said
that the front axle of the Hudson
was bent and that the brakes were in
good condition. He had had no Ii
quor.
Antonio Fecteau stated the acct
dent occurred about SIS and he did
not see the team until they were
about ten feet from It,. Brooks tried
t. swing out The lights from the
car on the hill blinded his eyes. He
saw the measurements Of 4S feet
made by Brooks and his brother-in-
law. The Windshield was somewhat
dirty.
Robert Thibodeau testified shout
the same as Fecteau. This ended
the testimony and the judge pro-
nounced the sentence.
