Mayer Discharged
in Traffic Case
Continued from rir One
Warburton, special police commissioner,
and "Jnck" Artman, the Mayer's
bodyguard. City Solicitor Smyth were
his usual "smooth" smile. He was the
Itlehelleu of thc little drama.
When thc Mayer's party stepped Inte
thc room the word went around "Here's
the Mayer," which wasjicard by Car
ney In his back office.
"Don't get excited," snnpped out
Carney, who was determined that every
thing should be "os usual."
The Magistrate apologized for the fact
that James Carty, of 1411 Seuth Fit
ting street, the complaining witness,
was late.
"There's important business nt Citjj
Hall, ' remarked thc Mayer dryly, "hut
let it go."
Carty appealed finally. Magistrate
Carney mounted the Judicial rostrum.
As he did se he speedily, ami ns If
by long-practiced legcrdcrmaln, caused
a wad of chewing gum te vanish from
his lips te the efficlnl cuspidor. Mag
istrate Carney Invited the Mayer te
take a place in thc space reserved for
counsel. .
Mayer Asks Ne Favers
"I'm no better than nny one else,"
retorted tie Mayer, "se I'll stand right
here."
Magistrate Carney opened the hear
ing by announcing that he would rend
a prepared statement. With his left
hand at his brew Magistrate Carney
read as follews:
"Public notice has been recently given
of the intention upon the pnrt of the
executive of tlic City of Philadelphia
te enforce strictly all narklnc recul.i-
tlens nnd all laws regulating the opera
tion of automobiles within the City of
Philadelphia.
"Within the last week, the Mayer,
in company with his Director of Public
Safety and his Superintendent of Po
lice, deemed it proper te visit particu
lar sections of the city, for the purpest
of picking out violations of the law.
"I am satlslird that the crcnt body
of citizens of Philadelphia aie desirous
of maintaining and ureservinir a resnect
for law, and feel thnt such cannot be
hoped for if these in charge of Its exe
cution and enforcement de net respect
the law themselves.
Carney Explains Himself
".My nttentieu bclnir called nml in
formation being ledged with me as te
violation of automobile laws upon the
part of the chief executive of the city,
and having personal knowledge thereof,
I deemed It my duty te notify him te
appear befere me today.
"The great traffic around thc City
Hall makes It one of the most danger-
ems sections of thc city If rules and
icgulatlens regulating the opcrntlen of
machines at this point' nrc permitted te
be violated.
"I have ln this matter, acted as I
would upon a complaint being made re
garding nny ether citizen and the
Mayer's presence Is required hcic today
se that all citizens can realize that
breach of regulation or law is net te he
overlooked."
With ills lint in his bend the Mayer
listened te thc rending.
City Solicitor Smyth, as counsel for
the Mayer, then began preparations, ln
his best Supreme Court manner, te ad
dress the magistrate. Just us Mr. Smyth
was giving n final polish te the legal
eyeglass Mayer Moere spoke up.
"Will the magistrate permit nn in
quiry?" he asked.
Carney nodded his smoothly pompa pempa pompa
deured head.
"Thc magistrate," said thc Mayer,
"lias indicated his knowledge of thc
Mayer's effort te regulate traffic. The
magistrate lias alluded te the Mayer as
having 'nicked out' cases of violation
of thc rules. Thc Mayer wishes te say
that as part of his official duty he made
a personal Inspection of traffic and
parking conditions. The Mayer did net
pick out cases."
The Mayer emphasized the phrabc
"pick out."
"The law," he continued, "should be
enforced generally and impartially. The
purjiose and motives of thc Mayer as
stated arc entirely incorrect. The mag
istrate has no right te attribute such
a motive te the Mayer."
Newspapers Ills Bible
"I get nil my education from the
ncwhimperH," replied the niaRlhtrute.
"They've been nil wrong the Inst few
clnyH," countered the Mayer, "in regard
te thin alleged controversy."
Carty then told of buing In company
with MogiHtrate Cnrncy when the
Mayer's ear wan found parked at the
curb nt City Hall, of finding that the
tnll lights wcre unlit for pnrt of the
time.
Mr. Smyth's cress-examination re
vealed that Mr. Carty wns a tpecinl
officer in n moving-picture lieune at
Seventh street and Hn.wlvr nvenue. This
Imiiertnnt f.ict wni noted by Mr. Smyth
en Ills pad of paper.
Mr. Smith brought out the fact that
the wltiubs was net certain whether the
lights en the Majer's car were out
after the city's electric urc lights had
been turned en. dirty, however, ap
peared sure that ether cars In some
cases had lights en.
Mr. Smyth nuked If he had made
any effort te Hud out in whose name
the car was registered. Corty replied
thut the Mayer's chauffeur advised him
te serve the summons en the Mnyer.
Addressing the bench, Mr. Smyth
said :
"I want te say, nnd you knew me
well enough te knew that I would net
say what was untrue, thnt the fact is
tlmt tne Mayer is net personally re
snenslblq for nny fault, even nMiimlng
there wan n fault. The fact Is that
the car is owned by the City of I'liila

Sleep en, brave soldiers, sleep, sleep where the poppies grew,
Sleep en, brave soldiers, in your places, raw en row.
The lark's still searing in the sky,
Still bravely singing, searing high,
Away above the cannon's rear,
Scarce heard amid the guns as yore,
Before you slept in Flanders Fields.
The faith with you we've kept and battled with the fee;
On crimson fields by you we've slept where poppies blew

With blist'ring hands we've bravely fought
Te held it high te guard you thre' the Night,
And at thc Dawn te guide you te the Light,
When you awake from Flanders Fields.

There is a growing belief that these

ln the American reduction proposals.

It might be followed by proposals te
cancel ships laid down en a shlp-fer-shlp

It Is regarded as probable that Great
Britain would accept some such pro
posal affecting her four authorized bat
tle cruisers, but, even ln the light of
Admiral Kote's statement of Japan's
willingness te cut her program, It Is
net clear hew a ship-fer-shlp cancella
tion plan might b viewed by her repic
sentntlves. Inch ship struck off the
list would mean a henvier. propertlnntc
reduction for Japan, it is said, than
for Great Britain or the United States.
In nny case, nnval officers point out,
the question of naval development must
be dealt with nnd some scheme evolved
under which a naval status quo might
be maintained if thnt be the desire of
the Cniiference. Alse, It Is suggested,
no naval Power would be willing te step
all construction, because of the factor
of ndwincemciit or knowledge In nnval

said, Is sure te receive nttentlen.

ment Conference In order te agree en the i

unlay. Up te the present It eccins that I
the opening address delivered by Prestvr ;
dent Harding will be followed by the
proposal from the lOngllsh delegation, j
te appoint Secretary Hughes as prcsh I
dent of the Conference, which it Is '
expected will be approved unanimously,, ,
Secretary Hughes will address a few. '
words of welcome te the foreign dele-'
gates, but It has net yet been decided ,
whether there will be nny replies. A
proposal has been ninde that M. Brland,
being the only Premier present, should ,
speak in the name of all, hut It wart;
thought thnt this Is net possible n
ench country has an attitude toward the )
Conference which is net entirely Identi
cal te the ethers. Therefore the presi
dent of eacdi delegation will reply or
nobody will spenk.
Immediately afterward a committee
will he formed of the presidents of the
delegations from the live great powers,
which Is already called the "big five,"
for thc drafting of agenda. Anether,
committee composed of the representa
tives of thc delegations of the four
smaller countries. Helland, Portugal,
Belgium nnd China, will be added for
the agenda concerning Far I'astcrn,
