twelve with no lights on his
car, your honor. He was going
pretty fast and yelled Pull UP
there Sometimes when they
drive that way, there's a reason
for it.
HE went out Gales Street and
down North Capitol at IS miles
an hour. I went after him at
so and. he lodged into N Street.
He turned every corner he came
to and chased him half. mile
or SO before ran him to the
curb at Fourth and @. He
couldn't dodge there because an
other car was using the corner.
There wasn't anything criticiz-
able under the seat.
Boob: ''I don't think / was
going Is, oyur honor"
What did you turn all those
cornrs for-were you going
anywhere in particular"
II was just scared. your honor
scared to death.
How do you feel now?"
''Still scared"
What were you afraid of?
II was afraid / was going to
be arrested for driving without

That's an unpleasant expert
ence, but not as bad as being
arrested for reckless driving.

DAY WILL. SUCCEED
HENRY H. CURRAN
Is Nominated for Commits
sioner of immigration at
Port of New York.

benjamin NJ, Day OF. New York was
dominated today to be immigration
commissioner at Ellis Island. succeed
3nG Henry H. Curran, who has re-
signed. effective March 81.
Mr.. Day, a lawyer, formerly served
rs a legal adviser to the Internal
Revenue Bureau. He at one time was
president Of the New York Republican
club.
Notwithstanding differences between
Mr.. t,urran and executives of the La
aor Department, which have reached
the controversial stage at times, de-
p4rtment officials today expressed
high regard for bis record at Ellis Is
land and no indication was given that
his resignation was due to any cause
other than a desire to accept u more
tcmuneratiVe position.
Mr.. Husband remarked that he
thought Mr.. Curran Was one OF the
most highly qualified men ever placed
at the head Of the New York post,
and recalled that he had personally
commended the commissioner recently
for the way he conducted Il most
neculiarly troublesome" situation. He
would not say whether he referred 10
thc CathCart case. Most OF the diff
tcrCnCcS between Mr.. Curran and de-
p4rtment officials had 20 90 with the

CURRAN DENIES DISPUTE.
Says CatIlcart Case Had Nothing to
DO With Resignation.
BY the Assoclated Prcss

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 13.-Henry II.
urran. commissioner of immigration
ut Ellis Island. recent host of the
countess Of Cathcart. though he COM
plained he had 10 more to 90 with
ner temporary detention for moral
;urpitude" than the King OF the Fiji
Isles, has resigned.
He win become counsel and adviser
IL the City club Of New York. His
resignation has been forwarded to
President Coolidge to become effective
March 81.
The New York Times today says
that Benjamin NJ. Day, New York
lawyer, who until January ! "as legal
adviser to the Interna! Revenue De
partment. has been selected as Mr..
turran'S successor.
Mr.. Curran, more than once critic
of the handling Of immigration prob
lens, had his latest difference with
The Department of Labor during the
CathCart case, when he said he
thought the commissioner himself
should have full power in deciding
such matters. He denied YESTERDAY,
however, that the Cathcart contro-
Nersy had anything TO do with his
resignation.
The temporary exclusion Of the
countess on grounds OF admission OF
moral turpiIude. and her subsequent
liberation by the courts, caused Mr..
Gurran no little annoyance.
I am not going 10 be held re-
:~ponsible for something I had no more
20 do with than the cop on the corner
or the King OF the Fiji Isles" he said
during the controversy.
