ship certificates or municipal railway
certificates. Because Of Alderman u.
S. Schwartz early identification with
this plan, they have been called
Schwartz certificates. But they are
provided for in the 1913 act, and the
certificates there provided are simply
this, that if the city wants to acquire
utility it may issue for that utility
public ownership certificates in any
amount that the city sees fit to author
ize for the purchase or acquisition of
the particular utility. Those certifi-
Gates are not general bonds. They
are not liens upon taxes, they won't
be paid out of taxation, they can't be
paid as ordinary city obligations are;
in fact, they are not city obligations,
they are not general obligations, but
they are limited obligations of the
utility system itself. Those certifi-
Gates are payable only and solely out
OF the earnings of the property ac-
CURED, and the only security for the
certificates is the property acquired for
the certificates or constructed with
money

danger life, the offending chauffeur
will be stopped and warned. A
verbal warning will be followed by
IA written one, and Ii needs be, the
license will be revoked. If, after
these two warnings, the driver is
again cautioned by policeman, he
will be brought befo.a the traffic
council of the prefecture. and incure
heavy fines.
Several squads of policemen Will
be specially detailed to prevent all
infractions of the law particularly
during the hours when traffic is
light and chauffeurs are ,ncli,led
to drive at full speed. The officers
win be equipped with a taximeter
to calculate the speed.
During the first tryouts of the en-.
forcement of the new speed limit
more tran fifteen arrests were ir.1de
in the First ward in one evening
All of the chauffeurs were stopped
for not slowing down at street cross
ings. where the majority. of the &c.

RODGERS THRILLS HIS
 HEARERS WITH STORY
PN-s Commander Is Guest of Honor at Dinner Held in
 Honolulu.

Honolulu, Sept 1e P,--Command- CT John Rodgers of the naval sea- plane PN-9 No, 1, and his crew of four were honor guests yesterday at luncheon given under the aus pices of the Chamber of Commerce. Amidst scenes of widest enthusi- asim, Rodgers told the story of the cruise, from its inception in San Diego; the take-off from San Fran cisco harbor; flying over the Pacific toward Honolulu for more than 25 hours; drifting for upwards of 2ls hours after q forced descent, and of eventually being rescued by the submarine R-t near the Island of Kauai

 With this control went responsi- bility therefor, and inevitably the re- sponsibility if anything went wrong, must rest upon me.
 We thought. everything was pro pitious for the flight on the day of the start and no two commanding officers of any vessel ever went through the Golden Gate better sat- istisd with the support they had re- ceived at home; better equipped; with more faith in their crews; and with more certainty of success than the commanders of the PN-9 No. 1, and PN-9 No. 8, but just as we started q heavy head wind dropped and came from the east right on one beam. which was every detrimenta- al"
 Rodgers had high praise for his crew; Rear Admiral John D. McDon- aid, commandant of the fourteenth naval district, in charge of the search, and Lieutenant Donald Cs- born of the submarine R-4, rescurer of the plane.

It said he wotsld be willing to sign first and would give more money If the plan seemed to be in danger of failing. The faith fans have in the team was demon strated when 14 agreed to pay StAo apiece when approached by BusiAsss Manager Daley, who reports that the plan was received with enthu- siasrn by nearly all whom he ap- preached with the proposition. Ar engagements were progressing so fav- orably that the club telegraphed to |Stuhldreher last night accepting his terms after trying to communicate with him by telephone. Officials of the club believed the affair was set tied. When stuhldreher cooly in- formed them this morning that he had decided to play with the Provi- dence Steam Rollers they were as- founded. They accused him of breaking faith and of working the double cross" but nothing could shake him from his determination to go to Providence.
 stuhldreher's Terms
 A copy of stuhldreher's terms, written in his own Handwriting, fol- lows:
 "s4,5oo for season of 10 games be- tween dates of Sept. 20 and Nov. 22 inclusive, s45o of which is to be placed h hands 0. Gaffney Monday preceding each game, Tn case of re- lease the contract still holds good and have option to play with any other club
 'In order to hold contract I must report each Sunday between above dates and regardless of rain or post ponement of game not scheduled I will receive stipulated sum on each Sunday I report. Any injury receiv- ed in game will be taken care of by this club and contract still stands for remainder of season.
 "File bonds to secure faithful per formance."
 It is probable that the All-New Britain's and the Providence Steam Rollers will meet this season. Mem bers of the New Britain team are so angered at Stuhldreher's alleged duplicitv that they are determined to bring home victory.
 The All-New Britain eleven will open its season next Sunday after noon at Willow Brook park against the Yellow Jackets of Frankfort, Pa.
