GOLLEGE BOYS ARE SUBJECTED TO FINES Ginsherg and McMahon Violate New Auto Law Harry Ginsberg of Arch street was fined $25 and costs for failing to have his automobile properly registered, and William P. 8. McMahon, son of S. McMahon, was fined for reckless driving on following a lengthy trial Judges James T. Meskill in court this morning. Prosecuting At- torney G. W. Klett conducted the state’s case, while Lawyer A. A. Greenberg represented Ginsberg and Judge J. E. Cooper appeared for Mc- Mahon, The accused are students at Fordham college. Originally Ginsberg was charged with three separate counts, that of reckless driving, not having an oper- ator's license car properly registered. was charged with reckless driving, it being argued that as the licensed driver who was demonstrating the car to Ginsberg and showing him how to operate it he was responsible under the law. The accident, which resulted in the criminal prosecution, occurred on the evening of July 5 on the Stanley Quarter road, just south of the intersection of Barbour road. According to the testimony offered by the state, Michael P. Leghorn, ac- companied by his wife and daughter, had turned from Barbour road into Stanley streét and had proceeded south to a point just past Hubert Blake's residence when Ginsberg and McMahon, the former driving, bore down on them from the rear at a reckless rate of speed and, after knocking down a heayy post in front of the Blake residence, crashed into the side of Leghorn's car on the right, ripping off the mud guards, the running board, the front wheel and headlight, then caroomed off to the right and finally came to a stop in the meadow by the roadside. Mr. Leghorn, Mrs. Leghorn and Miss Leg- horn were insistent that the auto- mobile which struck them was going at a terrific rate of speed, Mr. Leg- horn declaring that it was going be- tween fifty and sixty miles an hour. He furthermore declared that he turned his car away into the right gutter to give the other machine plenty of room, but even then was run into on his right side. Driver Becomes Confused. Ginsberg testified that he was just learning to drive the machine and was driving with the hand throttle at a rate of speed estimated at twen- ty miles an hour. He said that Leg- horn drove in a wide arc in front of him as he approached and, in a hurried attempt to jam his foot on the brake, he accidently shoved in the foot accelerator, causing the car to leap forward with a sudden burst of speed and crash into the other machine. The testimony offered by McMahon was similar in relation to the immediate cause of the accident. Prosecutor Klett expressed consid- erable doubt as to the proper own- ership of the car at the time of the { accident and said that when report- | ing the matter to the police McMahon declared that Ginsberg was July 5 befor | had $50 and | RS police and failure to have his | McMahon | “about to buy” the automobile from Frank A. Balch. Ginsberg offered a bill of sale, dated June 30, which, he declared, was given him when the c¢ar became his property. It was on this admission that he was found guilty for failing to have his car prop- erly registered with the state auto- mobile department. An alleged at- tachment for $700 placed against Mr. Ginsberg’s machine by one Jacob ‘Sperry, was also questioned by the presecutor who insinuated that this attachment might be a fake to pre- vent Mr. Leghorn from attaching the machine in a possible suit for dam- ages. McMahon told the court that on July 5 he had consented to take Ginsberg out and teach him to drive and after taking his father and uncle to Hartford on business, during which ride they were held up for several hours by tire trouble, they returned to New Britain. On the return trip he turned the wheel over to Gins- berg who, he said, did very well for a beginner until the moment of the accident. McMahon said he knew that an accident was inevitable when he felt the driver accidentally step on the accelerator instead of the brake, but he did not consider it to be advisable for him to interfere at that time and grab the wheel, fearing that by so doing he might cause an even more serious accident. The only other case in court today was that of William Kasmeronis, charged with non-support. He was ordered to keep away from drink and was placed on probation for six months.

Boston, July 13.—An enlarged course in citizenship has been inaugurated by the department of the university extension of the' state board of edu- cation.

England Specifies It Must Be Carmed on Seized Ships. Washington, July 13.—State depart ment officials were inclined to believe today Great Britain's condition that Brazil must ship her coffee intended for British ports on confiscated Gers man ships will be accepted by Brazil with the counter provision, perhaps, that other ships may be used when the utilization of one of the confis-, cated vessels is impossible. Official explanation of the imposed condition had not been received here today but it was assumed that it was due to a desire to prevent any possible diver- sion of the shipments to some neutral European port from which it might find its way into Germany. A Holland let it be known some timedl ago that no confiscated German ship would be permitted to cnter its har- bors since such entry might be con- strued as an unneutral act. It was assumed therefore that the British foreign office wishes to have the Bra- coffee moved on vesseis that cannot be taken to Germany's source of supplies. PRAISES ATTITUDE OF U. S.
