M07OR|ST REPORTS RECKLESS DRIVER Sets Precedent When Crowded
 Off East Berlin Road
 HAD TWO NARROW ESCAPES
Warrantec Deeds Iilcd-N1cthodiSt Churches Suspend For Day Parrettas Store Sold to Satisfy Creditors-Church Notices.

A precedent in giving aid to the police in keeping reckless drivers off the road, or at least in teaching them to observe the rules of the road, was set last night by John Cole of East Berlin, when he reported to the police the license number of a car that. had crowded him off the road near the Webster farm in Ser lin at about o'clock.
 Cole was driving north and lal ae truck was going south. Just as ne two cars were about to pass, third car that had been following the truck cut past and Cole was forced to go completely off the road. The escape was a very narrow one, as the road at that point is none too wide Cole, seeing that the third car did not stop, turned about and chased it. He overlook it about q mile farther down the road and stopped it. The driver was very in dignant about the affair." but when the incident of the truck was men toned he uueted down a bit. Cole asked him to show his license, tut the fellow refused in no uncertain terms. With this the driver shot his car ahead. narrowly missing Cole, who was standing near the parked car.
 Cole obtained his number and gave it to Constable Frank Brown of Kensington. who will arrest the man and charge him with reckless driving. Prosecutor Charles Lewis of kensington is interested in the matter and promises that there will be a full investigation in court when tho man is arrested.
 There has been some talk of authorizing drivers to report reck- less drivers to the state police. This system has been adopted in several nearby states and is reported as working out well. Police admit that there is a great deal of reckless driv- ing that they cannot see, and in these cases there is no action taken until after ap accident. If such a system were worked out to any ex- tent and the cooperation of the resi- dents could be developed, many of the accidents of today would be pre- vented, according to police authori- ties.
 It is expected that the present case will be before the Berlin town court next Tuesday if the driver can be To- Cated by then.

Denver. Colo, June 20 R>-The 5000 delegates to the Northern Bap- tist convention. which ended here last night. were on their way home today. having left the future rela- tionship of their organization and the federal council of churches of Christ in America, in the hands of committee.
 The appointment of the committee of nine representative Baptists ended a fundamentalist-m t-modernist contro- versy caused by the introduction of two resolutions, one introduced by Judge J. w. Freeman. local funda. mentalist leader, objected to close relationship with the council, anoth- CT introduced by Rev. c. l.. Sea- sholes, of Watertown, Mass, com- mended the church council for its work.
 The resolutions were tabled when both sides agreed to the appointment of the committee.

since he won the open in 1922 and followed by capturing the profess sional title the same year and sue cesfully defending it in 1923. The lohE hitting Gene played in his first open in 1920 and after qualifying in third place finished in . tie for 18th. He finished 18th in 1921 and won as dark horse when he salloped home with a score of 2sS in 1922 at Skokie . stroke ahead of Bobby Jones and John Black.
 With the responsibility of defend ing champion on his shoulders. he could do no better than a tie for 18th in 1923 but in recent years he has been a constant threat. He tied for fifth in 1925. tied for third in 1926 and was in undisputed posses sion of third place in 1927. He was in tie for sixth last year. He failed to qualify in the British open in 1923 but last year he was runner-up. two strokes behind Wal ter Hagen. After starting 7S-74 in the 1929 British title clash. he took S1 on the third round and practiacl- ly removed himself from the com petition. finally finishing ninth.
 The 1929 championship will be de- cided on a course not far from the spot where Gene started out as humble bag carrier and the Italian American star will have no difficulty in finding his way about. The rug ged Winged Foot layout suits his game perhaps as well as any course in the country.
 The former champion likes to so with might anc main and there is no question that the 1000 yards to be negotiated at Mamaroneck will cffer the opportunity for those who have the courage to defy the traps. Winged Foot has its sand to exact dire penalty for those who miss the greens or fail to stay on them. sarazen will be among those taking 2 chance.
