SUBURBAN DISTRICTS
Is a Utility as Well as Popular
Vehicle.

According to Dewitt Page, of
Bristol, Conn, vice president of the
General Motors Corporation, atten-
ding The annual convention of the
Cycle Trades Association at the
Ambassador Hotel, the continued
development of suburban districts
is largely responsible for The
growth of the bicycle business in
the past few years. IN these sill
burban districts, where traffic is
very light" he said, "every child
rides bicycle for pleasure, for eX-
ercise, and as rapid means OF run
ming errands for the home. The
popularity of the scooter bicycle,
which has taken hold OF children
between 5 and 10 years OF age, has
aroused desire among older chill
dren for bicycles.
"Of course in a crowded city, it
is more or less of risk for small
child to possess bicycle, and ride
it in the heavy traffic, but when a
child is located in an outlying dis
trict he is certainly unnatural if iie
does not want one"

By actual count the State High
way Commission has established
the fact that automobile traffic on
New Jersey roads has increased
more than $50 per cent, during the
past six years. Another disclosure
of a check just completed is that
one of every two cars using the Lin
coin Highway during recent tally
bore other than a Jersey license.
The intersection Of Route | and
Route 4, at Railway. was selected
for purposes Of study. Route ] eX-

Route 4, which runs down the coast
as far as Absecon and Atlantic

acuuittal, while the jury in the
first trial found him guilty as
indicted, which verdict, however
was set aside by the United States
Supreme Court, which ordered q
new trial.
After the termination of the last
trial. District Attorney Peyton Cor
don, who conducted the prosecu.
ton, had a conference with Attor'
ney General Sargent. at which
Major Gordon informed the Attor
ney General of his viewpoint as to
trying Wan fourth time.
The remoteness Of obtaining a
verdict against Wan and the great
cost piling up for the Government
were two OF the principal points
discussed, the difficulty Of securing
a jury also entering into the dis
cussion.
Even though no information was
given out at the time, 1t was re-
ported at the Department of JUS
tice that Attorney General Sargent
was in favor Of dropping the case
provided Major Gordon was OF the
same mind.
A petition was filed today by
Attorney Wilton ]. Lambert, coun.
sci for Ziang Sun Wan, for the
dismissal Of the indictment and
and the release of Wan.
In his petition Wan says that
he was placed on trial April 81
and that after a six.weeks' trial
and thirty hours of jury delibera.
ton, a disagreement was reported.
In the two trials, Wan says, two
juries have given him q vote OF
over two-thinds or about so per
cent for complete exoneration.
He claims that he is entitled to
his liberty and exoneration and
submits affidavits Of large ma
jority of the jurors of the two
trials, with their Recommendation
for dismissal Of the indictment.
