Meskill in court this morning on a charge of reckle: driving and driving s0 as to danger the lives of pedestrians. though much depressed by the de- cision, Foster went out and borrowed the moncy and paid his fine. Faster Than 43 Per Hours. ! The accused pleaded guilty to tho offense. Officer \Wagner, who madc the arrest testified that he followed Foster on East Main street, through Hartford avenue and‘ into Stanley Quarter, noting his speed during the entire route. He said it ranged from between twenty-three and twenty-five miles an hour on East Main street to forty-three miles an hour on Stan- ley streci, crossing all the intersect- ing streets en route at the same rate. In order that there might be no question as to the accuracy of his own speedomoter with which he re.- orded Foster's speed, Officer Wagner took the instrument to the factory late‘yvesterday to have it, tested and the test showed that at forty miles an hour his speedometor registers two and two-thirds seconds slower then it should, so Foster was really goiny | faster than forty-three miles an hour. Foster did not think he hit such a pace as there was a Ford car ahead of him and.he did not pass it. He said he was zoing from fifteen ‘o seventeen miles an hour near the cen- ter and not more than twenty-seven miles an hour when arrested. Connors Case Continued. The case against Charles Connors, with assaulting his aged mother and sister, was continued until Septem- ber 11 as the condition of both vie- tims is serious. Katle Connors, the sister, will not be able to have the splints removed from her broken jaw for over three weeks and Mrs. Con- nors is ‘still in a semi-conscious con- dition at the hospital. Her heart i3 very weak and this, coupled with her old age and the severe beating. she received, may result more seriously than at first anticipated. Young Connors was taken back to jail this afternoon. Autoist Case Continued. William Deely, accused of reckless driving and runping into John E. Curtin’s machine as it was coming out of the new Catholic cemetery on Wednesday, asked that his case be continued until August 31 until =« Hartforda lawyer can come here to defend him. Judge W. F. Mangan put the request to the. court and Jt was granted. Dcely is a jitney driver and there were seven passengers in his car when the alleged violation of law took place. Hubby and Wife Drunk. William Brown and Lillian Brown, husband and wife with unenviable police and jail records, were arrested last night in a vacant lot near the Smalley school by Officer Strolls on charges of vagrancy and drunkenness, Brown had seventy-five - cents and with it he purchased a quantity . or liquor which he and his wife pro- ceeded to dispose of. Neither of these two people | any home and are vagrants of the worst type. The police have been or- dered to keep them off the streets and the court sent them to jail this morn- ing, the husband for thirty days and the wife for twenty days. Brothers Engage in Fight, Stanley and Mark Mesefski, | brothers, living with their aged | mother at the corner of Arch street | and Webster Hill, were arrested at i 0 o'clock this morning by Officer Skelley charged with drunkenness and assaulting each other. Mark claimed that Stanley came home drunk and started troubie. The court discharged Mark but tacked a fine of $10 and costs on Stanley. Makes Weak Appearance, The city board of health was rep< resented against Samuel Buckere, charged with dumping garbage on West street in violation of the ordinance. Yesterday the board or health was indignant over the action and the man was arrested. Today At- torney George LeWitt, who owns the property from which the garba was taken, stated that he had the swill removed by the accused . be- cause the city collector neglected to by has city kinson’s Right Place to Drug Store UNCHEONETTE Get a Light Lunch Sandwitches, Hot Coffee, Sodas, | ermilk, Pies, etc., Cleanly Served pm 11 A.

The health inspector asked court to make =n example of the accused but the court asked why the unfortunate driver of the wagon should be made the scrapgoat. Dr. Reeks then stated that in the past Mr. LeWitt has always co-operated with the health board and The did not think the cose should be pressed. Rather than blaming the people in the case the doctor blamed the fact that greater publicity has not been given the fact that there are public dum pj rounds. i “"\é'gl]lg. fdan'l thing a case like this | ought to be brought into COuI:t. un- less it is to be carried through,” said the judge He fined Buckere $5 without costs.

EDITORS ‘ON SINKING OF ARABIC All Agree That Incident Has Brought Nearer Breaking Point Between This Country and Ger many, The fellowing excerpts of editorial opinion ‘from newspapers in various parts of*the country on the sinking of the Arabic have been telegraphed to the Associated Press: Washington Post. If American citizens went dewn with ‘the Arabic, Germany will have brought about a most grave situatien, in the fact of a most solemn warn- ing from the United States that it would regard such an act as deliber- ately unfriendly and that it would maintain the rights of its citizens “without compromise and at ever cost Washington Herald. The -gravity of the situation that has been forced upon us cannot be magnified. We are surely near the breaking point with Germany. There is no virtue in further forbearance Whatever its results, the quarrel is of Germany’s seeking. The president and his advisers must now determine up- on a course of action. Washington Star. 1f the German government does no repudiate the action of the submarine commander it cannot be construed as otherwise than an act ‘‘deliberately unfriendly.” The people are confident that the president will in this new crisis main- tain the principles that have been <o plainly enunciated and that are so strongly indorsed by the country Knoxville (Tenn.) Sentinel. Without regard to whether n lives are lost or not, Germany in the abseénce of disavowal, has com- mitted the “deliberately unfriendly” act and is apparently determined for reasons best known to herself, to put a quarrel upen the United States. The country will trust the president to deal with the situation. Brooklyn, N. Y., Eagle. Assuming that all the circum- stances are as reported the first step he (the President) must take, a step that can no longer be avoided without national abasement and humiliation, is to send Count von Bernstorff out of the country and simultaneously re- call Mr. Gerard from Berlin. After that congress could well be assembled to provide for whatever may be forced upon us. New York Evening World. Germany flouts American claims. Germany defies American demands.
