In addition he adviges: “In view of the new draft law it would be well for those who prefer the navy to any other branch of the service to apply at the local recruiting station for in- formation as it is highly probable that the drafting will be for the army alone as no provision has been made in the bill for the na and when a person is in one branch of the service it is improbable that he can be trans- ferred to any other branch of the ser- fb bottle-of Mrs. Winslow’s Lax. “Soothing :Syrup at your drug. , give it faithfully and your 1 soem be rid of all constipa- r, gamsy stomach, indigestion, d bowdl complaints.

A: M., Elizabeth | AUTOIST FINED §25 FOR HIS HIGH SPEED Sanl Ylaskowitz Ran Down Bicy- clist.in Franklin Square Caustically arraigned by Prosecut- ing Attorney George W. Klett for his testimony relative to speed and other details of the accident, Saul P. Was- kowitz of 250 North street, salesman for the Elmer uto Co., local agents for the Ford car, was gonvicted of recklessly operating an automobile by Judge James T. Meskill in police court today and fined $25 and costs. Testi- mony was given that he drove a car at a high rate of speed at Franklin square yesterday afternoon and ran down William Dorsey of Maple street, a bicyclist. “Boys have as much right on the streéts as autoists,” commented Judge Meskill in passing sentence., Attorney A, A. Greenberg was counsel for the defense and made @& plea for leniency, speaking of the excellent bshn.vlor.gt his cljent in the past and his famili ity with the handling of automobiles. ‘Witnesses agreed that the-automo- bile was operated at a high rate of speed, so much so that it attracted considerable attention from pedes- trians and of Supernumerary Police- man Ira P. Leonard. Policeman Leonard testified that He was in, the yard of his home when his attention wag attracted by the sound of an au- tomobile approaching at high speed and a minute later he heard the nolse as it hit the bicycle. The blow was a glancing one and Dorsey was prac- tically uninjured and able to appear in court today. The policeman . said that he would have been unable to get the license number bf the machine ‘but for the collision because of its high speed. He estimated that it was going at least thirty-five miles an hour. Witness testified that Wasko- witz denied going thirty-five miles an hour but thought he might have been making twenty-five. Other peoplg on the street testified along similar lines and estimated the speed at the figure estimated by Policeman Leonard. ‘The accused contended that he was not going more than eighteen miles an hour, testified that a new Ford can not make more than twenty-five miles an hour and contended ‘that he clamped on the brakes and stopped in quick time; also, that he investigated the extent of the damage done before attempting to leave the scene. Throughout the hearing, he main- tained an indifferent attitude and had a eontinual smfle on his face while witnesses were testifying as to his high rate of speed. He seemingly took the proceedings as mruch of an everyday affair, even when on the wit- ness stand, and did not appear ot realize that it was serious until the fine was imposed. Must Support Family, James Allen, colored, of Wellington street, employed at the Hart & Hutch- inson Company’s plant, must post a bond of $400 to assure weekly pay- ments of $8.-for a-year towards the support of his wife and three children or serve three months in jail. “There is no reason why you should live on the fat of the land.while your children suffer privations and lack the necessi- ties of life,” commented Judge Mes- kill in pessing sentence. Mrs. Allen, whose .present address is 124 West 137th street, New rk city, was the main witness against the accused. He wag arrested yesterday by Detective Sergeant Samuel Bamforth at his work, his whereabouts having been ascertained through inter communi- cation of charity department author- itles. It was alleged that he left his wife about six monfhs ago. He claimed that when work is g00d he makes about $18 a week. Sent to Reformatory. Pleading guilty to the theft of a bicycle from Paul Nalwek of 111 Sil- ver street, Paul Czarkowski of 22 Orange street was committed to the state reformatory at Cheshire. He was arrested by Policeman Frank R. Hahn Monday, the case being con- inued yesterday to allow recovery of the bicycle and further investigation by Detective Sergeant Samuel Bam- forth. It was testified that the ac- cused took the bicycle to a Southing- ton dealer to have it enameled a dif- ferent wcolor and otherwisp- changed. This is believed to be the procedure followéd by a gang of bicycle thieves operating in this and other cities and to be the reason why the authorities experienced much difficulty in tracing stolen machines. Dog Cases, ‘Willam Temple of 341 Elm street, charged by Dog Warden John Coffey With keeping an unlicensed dog, en- tered a defense that the animal has not reached the age where a license is needed but that he has already taken steps to have the animal prop- erly registered. He was allowed to 8o following his promise to immediate- ly secure the necessary parchment. George Kroll and Abraham Heck of Short street were charged with allow- ing their do unmuzzled. /Both entered the defense that they had bought several of vari- ous typed muzzles but the dogs are successful in removing them. . They were warned that it is up to them to comply with the law and to see that the muzzles are not removed. Failure to do so0 1s likely to mean another ar- Taignment and a fine, they were told. FLEES HOE BRIGADE. James Delaney has .been reported to the police as a deserter from the agricultural brigade at the Town Farm and his further services are de- sired at that institution because it is planting time and there is work for all: - Superintendent .George F. Kibbe made”’a report of the desertion and policemen on street duty have been notified to be on James: to be on the streets || Supt. Kibbe: Enforces Monroe Doc- frine and Repulses Attack by Ama- zons From House of Savoy. Hostilitles broke out on the -flelds of the Town Farm this morning, Supt. George F. Kibbe leading thé ‘home guards,” recruited- from his agricul- tural brigade, while two women of foreign birth 'were the invaders. Big and attractive dandelions that dot the fields there in profusion proved to be ! the bone of contention. The invaders | desired to annex the *“greens” and confiscate them for the good and wel- fare of their dinner menu.- Superin- tendent Kibbe enforced the Monroe doctrine and resisted the invasion of the two descendants of the foreigh clime. The women allege that Superinten- dent Kibbe was far from polite i1 the language used to them, came after them with a big stick and took away & large cloth bag filled with the dan- delions, the results of several hours of hard work. Superintendent Kibbe claims that the women came at him With the knives used in extracting the dandelions from the soil, one of the knives being of an ugly-shaped carv- ing type. An excited woman's voice informed police headquarters that there was a rumpus there, and asked for “the wagon.” Chauffeur Mat- thias Rival and Policeman H. W. Lyon were sent to the scene in the patrol. TUpon their arrival, the invadery ‘were noted in retreat, being busy in a distant field searching for more dan- delions. Two excited’and indignant ‘women, the monster bag of ‘greens” and two knives were taken to head- quarters. Chief of Police Willlam J. Rawlings listened to their tale.of woe and allowed them to g0 on their own recognizance, They were directed to appear in court tomorrow inorning and tell their tale of woe to Judge James T. Meskill.
