ARRESTS AND SENTENCES
HIMSELF; THEN APPEALS
BRIDGETON, N. J.. Aug 7—Theo
dore Sutton arrested himself, tried him
self and constituted himself a court to
pass sentence for his misdoing. After
ward he appealed from the decision of
tile “court."
He applied to Officer Smith to be
locked up. He had been drunk for two
weeks, he said, and he wanted to have a
chance to sober up. About four days in
jail would do it. he thought, he didn't
think thirty days necessary.
Officer Smith accommodated him by
plating him in the lockup and leaving a
note for Mayor Hampton to inform him
of Sutton's request.
By the time Sutton appeared before
the mayoi he had sobered considera
bly and had changed his mind about
wanting to go to jail. Mayor Hamp
ton would not, however, reverse the
sentence of the “lower court," and sent
the young man over for four days
AUGUSTA MUNICIPAL
ELECTION ‘SQUABBLE’
UP TO LEGISLATURE
The municipal politics of Augusta,
said to be the most strenuous in Geor
gia. were aired before the house com
mittee on corporations yesterday aft
ernoon. when partisans from the Rich
mond county metropolis urged and op
posed a bill to use the secret ballot in
the Richmond county general elections.
In a recent mayoralty primary, one
Augusta faction withdrew, charging
the other side with fraud, and gave no
tice of a final fight in the general elec
tion The other side then appealed to
the legislature for the secret ballot to
prevent, so they assert, the purchase
of negro votes. Judge Enoch Calloway
appeared for the bolters and talked
against the bill, while Clem E. Dunbar,
former legislator, appeared for the reg
ulars and urged its passage.

Revolutionize Motoring.
PARIS, Aug. 7. The “winged car” has
been tried and proved a huge success.

The car went from Paris to Lyons,
about 320 miles, without a single mishap
and made the distance >n excellent time.
The car has the appearance of an ordi
nary motor car, except that the forepart
is shaped like the prow of a ship. From
the extremity of the prow extends a shaft
to which the propeller is attached or the
“wing.’’ as it is called.
The "wing” is driven oy a 40-horsepow
er engine and rotates by shaft and chain
transmission. The wheels of the car run
free. In the trial, a speed of 62 miles
an hour was made, with 2.100 wing revo
lutions a minute.
