DISCOVERS DANCER
 OF TAKING CHANCE
Youthful NOtoriSt, Unlicensed, Arrested While Being 7oWel

What happened 10 George Kales- 1nski, IS, of 222 Washington street. yesterday afternoon in connection with an automobile in which he was arrested on three counts of viO- lation of the motor vehicle laws well demonstrates the danger of taking chances. The young mans hesltancy about making an explanation Of the circumstances surrounding his pre- dicament, when given a chance 10 do so in police court today, also demonstrates the Gdvisability Of speaking up when conditions as they actually exist are not as bad as they appear to be on the surface.
 kalesinSki, according 10 Motor cycle Officer David Doty. had no operators license, yet he was at the wheel of an automobile which was being lowed on Pennington avenue, and had no certificate Of reglstra- tion, although he was in charge Of the car. In addition. the car was not equipped with a rear reflector, as re- quired by a new law. The officer said the markers were of the com blnation nature. the car formerly having had box body which was later replaced by a standard body.
 The court expected Kalesinski 10 Bay something about the charges, although he pleaded guilty on the three counts. but he chose 10 stand by quietly and take whatever pen alty might be metad out. Judge Traceski did not want o pass on the case in this manner, however. and asked the young man to explain, which he did in convincing way.
 He and his brothers were trying to start the car but had no luck be- cause two of the spark plugs would not function. he testified. His broth CT. who had the certificate of reg istration in his pocket, went after new plugs and before he returned stranger drove by and suggested to George that they try 10 tow the car George did not welcome the suggestion. according to his story, but the stranger insisted on fixing tow line, pointing out that the en- zine might turn over even with the poor plugs if it was given help. They had gone only a short distance along the street when Officer Doty came by and asked some questions, with the result that George was arrested.
 Judge Traceski suspended judg- mcnt on payment Of costs but later changed his decision and ordered a fine of S5 and costs imposed, on ac- count of the plea of guilty.
 Fined on Similar Charges
 Alfred Lawless, %. of 120 Albany avenue. was fined $5 and costs on the charge Of driving an automobile without a certificate of registration and S10 and costs on the charge of driving with improper markers. He pleaded guilty to both charges. ad- hitting he knew it was against the law to change markers from one car to another without notifying the motor vehicle department.
 Officer William OMara testified to making the arrest on Broad street yesterday. Lawless had the car which the public welfare depart ment sold recently. It is registered In his wife's name, and the markers had been taken off another car which was also registered in her name. Lawless said he had intended to register the car shortly.
 Three Pass "Stop' Signs
 Three motorists who were arrest cd by Supernumerary Officer Albert J. Murphy for passing the boule- ward stop sign at Burritt and West Main streets about 10 o'clock last night pleaded not guilty but their statements and claims did not i'm press Judge Traceski who fined each Of them B and costs.
 Harold ?. Bachman, IS. of q Bradley street, admitted that he had not brought his car to q com plete stop before entering West Main street, but Gustavc Battaglia. 9, of 737 West Main street, and Farnando Balacchio.
