While a epeed of fifteen miles an! hour in lower Broadway might, for instance, be dangerous to life and limb, the ordinance covers that situa- tion by making it discretionary with the driver in the operation and driving of his vehicle. He may be held a countable for accident in such sec- tions, although his car 1s proceeding at a greatly reduced rate of speed. He must use caution wherever he is driv- ing.

The ambulance was rummoned and the girl made her second trip to the hospital, She was revived again and ‘advised to go downtown on the elevated road, which advice she took, She said she had never fainted before. At 10.40 o'clock Eleanor Scott, a young negress, fainted on the platform of the station while waiting for a train, She was taken to Harlem Hos- pital and revived. She said she was overcome “all of a sudden.” She, too, had never fainted before, Mrs, Ida Pinsterer of No, 193 East One Hundred and Tenth street entered the One Hundred and Thirty-ffth street southbound station at 11.40 o'clock, While waiting for @ train she fainted, and a fourth ambulance call was sent in by the ticket agent, Mrs, Pinsterer, on account of her age, was found to be in a serious condition, and members of her family were notified to visit the hospjtal.

BOWNE-MOTT CASE Naming Deserted Man as Co-Respondent. ere HOTEL FIGHT. Battle in Martinique, Sensa- tional Elopement and World Chase Figure in Affair. An interlocutory decree of 4! statutory «rounds, granted Pearce Manning of Flushing, adds another chapter to the mix-up of the Howne~- Manning - Mott - Fullor combination, which includes an elope- ment, a world chase, a fist fight in the Hotel Martinique and a few odds and ends of romance which have engaged |the public attention for a year. Walter Bowne first lost his wife to Jordan L. Mott, third, of the millionaire iron king family, and he was scarcely through rewalling his fate when John Pearce Manning, a neighbor, found him in the Hotel Martinique with Mrs. Adel- aide Taylor Manning. Manning opened | Megotiations by heaving crockery and Bowne replied until the alr was punctu- ated with white streaks. When order was restored, Mrs. Manning, who is a neice of Charles Taylor, owner of the Martinique, and a daughter of John Henry Taylor, Harvard man and mem- ber of the University: Club, declared her visit there with Mr. Bowne wan per- fectly innocent. Manning answered by fling @ sult for divorce, naming Bowne a8 co-respondent. Rowne denied he had been licked by Manning, nessea of the fray declare there was ree on to John to-day, band to fully live up to the word whip- ping in all ite meanings and ramifi- cations. Th divorce proceedings were conduct- ed with secrecy by Eugene Young, who had been named as referee, but there was little denial of the fact that Mra. Manning's conduct with Walter Bowne was the basis of the application for divorce. The Bownes and Mannings lived as eloped with Jordan L. Mott third, dis. credited heir to millions and in turn reporter, writer and hunter of big game.

His escapade with Mrs, Manning came @s a distinct shock to those offering condolences, Mrs. Manning is twenty-three years old, blonde and beautiful and was mar- ried to Manning when she was elghteen and Manning twenty-one.

MYSTERIOUS WOMAN WITNESS IS GUARDED Prosecutor Seeks to Indict Fugitive Witness Sipp toBring Him From New Jersey. The John Doe Special Grand Jury, meeting today after the holiday vacation, took the preliminary steps toward an investigation of the charges of police graft which caused Justice Goff and’ District-Attomey Whitman to ask for that special body of jurors. No work was done beyond laying out ;lans, for District-Attomey Whitman was busy with a long conference with “Jack” Rose, the Rosenthal murder informer, and without his guidance and instructions his assistants were all at sea. The As-stant District-Attorneys said they had examined several wit- nesses who will go before the Grand Jury later. Outside of laying plans for taking up the graft investigation the Grand Jury occupied itself by considering some cases from the newly made Bronx County.

Upon securing the loan, the witness said, Hammerstem weomed to be Greatly elated and in one of his out urate remarked: “It T had not dotained the mortgage money I would have had to close the Ta House.
