Danforth of the Church of the Holy Comforter in Kenil- worth. He said the rector was ex- ceeding the speed limit. ¢ Dr. Danforth explained he was in & hurry to perform a baptismal ceremony. THE EVENING BAPTISM HELD MORE IMPORTANT THAN SPEED LAW, OFFICER LEARNS Evanston Mirister Released by Magistrate With Scolding | for Arresting Policeman. Officer Kelsh replied tQat Mr. Danforth did not look like a mnister and that no matter where he was going, he was going t00 fast. Magistrate Porter set things right. “A baptism,” he said severely to Officer Kelsh, “is more important than the ordnance regulating the speed of motor- driven vehicles.” Dr, Danforth continued on his way, and Officer Kelsh said he is very sorry about the entire affair.
