GR|SW0LD FAVORS NEW MOTOR BILL
Approves Of Removing Speed
 Limit on State Highways
SPEAKS AS COURT JUDGE
Legion Makes Plan for First Annual Ball - Farmers Club to Have "Pastoral par>on' for Ladies Night speaker.

Judge George C.. Griswoli of the Town Court Of Berlin who tries, in the course of year, probably more motor cases than any other state magistrate Of a town of this size, today expressed himself in favor of the proposed new speed laws now before the state legislature which is being sponsored by the state motor vehicle commission.
 The new law seeks to remove the 90 mile speed limit on the highways and 10 make any speed limit under certain conditions legal. Under the present law. motorists exceeding the Sb mile limit with a possible lecway of miles allowed by most police men. must prove that under the eX- isting traffic conditions and road conditions, the speed was not eXor- bitant.
 The proposed new ruling would make the arresting officer prove that conditions made the speed dangerous. The change from the system whereby the motorst Is guilty until he proves that the speed he was operating under was not eX- orbitant considering conditions. to the new idea whereby the arresting officer must prove that the speed. however high, was dangerous under the situation, is termed advantage ous to both the motorist and the state by Judge Griswold.
 The local magistrate ayers that the new law would remove the pos sibility of q good many potential criminals, as the 80 mile an hour ruling is constantly being broken without danger to either motorist or possible pedeArians. It would also remove. he stated, the necessity of many court cases from the docket which are constantly being brought before courts of the state because of q mere speed occurrence regard less Of the conditions which prove later in court that it was not un- safe and cause the discharge of the arrested person.
 Judge Griswold has been hearty NilllptiSII'l loI SIillNti cIl''i Id NS governing in cases where dangerous conditions arc liable to occur. He has obtained record in this section of the state for his judgments which have done much to cut down speeding through the center Of the town, although much is to be done in this line yet. he states. His ap- proval of the new law Is surprise 10 many residents who, neverthe- less, agree with him that his req sons for the approval are sound and practical.
 Countless cases come before Judge Griswold during the motor ing season which. upon the hearing of testimony. have been dismissed.

CHALLENGES Comparison.

The following extract from the
Newport News, Va. Star will as
found the insuring public and awak-
ell interest everywhere.
What is said to be the record for
paying sick claims in Virginia mas
Just been brought to light through
the death of Mrs. Josephine Brown
OF $50 Eighteenth Street. Mrs.
Brown was a member OF five insur.
ance companies, it is stated, one OF
them being the Union Life Insurance
Company. with headquarters IN
Richmond, Va. The Newport News
office is In charge Of Mr.. /. l..
Wornom.
After Mrs. Brown had been fnca-
pacitated for work for thirteen
weeks with paralysis, it Is said that
four of the companies to which she
belonged ceased to pay her; but the
Onion Life continued to pay her up
to the time of her death last week.
In all she received from Union Life
S1,542.00 for total Of 257 weeks
at the rate of Sc 90 per week. This
claim was paid every week, at the
time it was due, and never once was
Mrs. Brown given cause for COM
plant. She was loud in praise OF
the treatment accorded her by the
company and recommended 1t to all
Of her friends who contemplated
taking out insurance.
Union Life carries an attractive
number of policies and has lucra-
tive business in Newport News and
on the peninsula. The company Of
fers tho 10-pay life, 10-year endow
ment, 20-year endowment, ordinary
life, and 52-weeks sick benefit poll
cies. It's representatives are polite
and courteous, and are ever ready
to render the very best service pos
sible to It's policy-holders.
The record made by Union Life
ir the case of Mrs. Brown alone is
enough to recommend it to the
people of this community, and it is
predicted that this will go a long
way toward causing many others to
join the company.

just one, he told Under-Sheriff
Desmond today.
"If l had been sitting on the jury
under similar circumstances said
the slayer OF Albert Snyder, II
would have been forced to return
the same verdict"
Gray told Desmond he found
solace in reading the Bible and was
resigned to the death sentence,
which Justice Scudder will impose
Monday. Only refusal of permission
to see and talk with his former
mistress. Mrs. Snyder. disturbed his
tranquility.
Mrs. Snyder Is calmer today and
more cheerful. Three matrons
guard her constantly, especially at
meal time, when 1t is feared she
might harm herself with table
instruments.
Her mail has assumed tremendous
bulk since the verdict. Many letters
are sympathetic.
