Speed, ' Speed, to break speed records, seems to be the sole aim in life of .thousands of persons who dally sacrifice or' at least endan ger their own lives and those of oth er persons, not at all interested in breaking speed records by racing their automobile are aeroplanes through space with the velocity of a hurricane. Is their mad desire to make the ut most speed automobilists disregard th4 laws, take the most desperate risk and "wantonly destroy the lives of oth er human beings. The dally list of accidents and deaths caused by the speed mania and recklessness of auto, mobillsts is appalling and the law seems to be powerless to put a stop to it It Is true that occasionally a tew of the offending automobilists are arrested, but they seem, to consider that merely as one of the annoying features of the sport ; The fine, which they have to pay Is a trivial matter and they grumble only because they were checkd In their mad rush.! 'In view of tlw unreasonably large num ber of speed limit violations within tbe limits of Greater New York the conviction Is gaining ground that a thange of the speed laws is not only desirably but absolutely necessary. The penalty for euch violations should be Imprisonment, not a mere fine. Ev try man who races through the pub lic streets of . densely populated city Is a potential slayer and should be punished on the same theqry that an armed burglar Is considered by the law a potential murderer.

There Office Mur-i phy and "Mtb. Murphy told their stor-1 les to Lieutenant Murphy in charge of the dpsk. Thomas Murphy, the prisoner, tried to turn the matter Into a Joke, but Lieutenant Murphy failed to see the point and had Thomas Mur phy locked up for disorderly conduct.

Abridge tender employed on one of the bridges across Harlem river and another man had an exciting battle with a big sturgeon, weighing mors than 400 pounds, while hundreds of people breathlessly watcnea mem from the bridge across the river. The monster fish had followed the Incom ing tide and disported himself in the Harlem river, hunting for food, when he was epled by a number of boys who were bathing in the river. Think ing that the big fish was a shark they hurried from the water and yelled a warning to other bathers. The bridge tender saw the fish and, accompanied by another man, set out in his boat determined to capture the monster. He succeeded in luring the fish Into shal low water and.to spear him with his boatbook. The fish, V sturgeon, was the largest of its kind .captured in these waters for many years. . i Karlne Traffic Enormous. -.Washington',: Aug. 30.
