HEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, OA., SUNDAY, AUGUST 31. 1013. 4rV t MITO SPEEDERS Recorder Pro Tem Preston Backs Chief Beavers in War Against Reckless Drivers. GOLDSTEIN SLAYER IS BAILED Dead Man's Relatives Protest Against Release of Mechani cian—Promise Prosecution. Recorder Pro Tem W. H. Preston, who is serving on the Police Court bench in the absence of Recorder Broyles, Saturday afternoon placed himself squarely behind the police in the warfare being waged against uu- toists who are daily violating the muffler cut-out law and other city ordinances regulating automobile .traffic over Atlanta's congested streets. Commending the crusade now un der way by Chief Beavers, Judge Preston announced that all offend ing autoists caught by the police will be given the limit of the law, no mat ter who they may be. This means that the gates of the stockade have opened for all careless and reckless auto drivers. Asserting that the au tomobile laws are being flagrantly violated and declaring that they must be observed, Judge Preston said that no quarter would be shown. At the afternoon session of court, Judge Preston fixed a bond of $5,000 for P. A. Curtis, the young mecha nician who drove the car Friday aft ernoon that ran down and killed Sam uel Goldstein, of No. 33G Washington street, just after Goldstein had alight ed from a trolley car at Washington and Crumley streets. Curtis had been held without bond up to this time. He will be given a preliminary hear ing next Thursday afternoon in Po lice Court. Relatives of Goldstein, who have announced they intend to prosecute Curtis vigorously, had previously ask ed Judge Preston over the telephone to deny bail. Several witnesses tes tified that Curtis drove past the car while it was at a standstill. His speed was estimated at from 12 to 20 miles. Curtis made no statement, al though earlier in the day he said his brakes failed to work and that he tried in very way possible to avoid the accident. Police Vigilance Is Urged. Judge Preston urged the police to take especial pains to enforce the law requiring a itos to come to a full stop behind trolley cars when the latter are receiving or discharging passengers. He characterized this as the most vital of all the auto laws, and remarked that, according to re ports, it was such an offense against this law that resulted in the tragic death Friday afternoon of Goldstein, who was run down in Washington street just after he had alighted from a car. Chief Beavers declared Saturday that the present wanton disregard of automobile laws must cease. He is sued a warning that offenders will be vigorously prosecuted. With the backing of the Police Court assured by Judge Preston, the war on speed fiends will be waged aggressively. Judge Promises His Support. Judge Preston said: “The dangers from automobiles in Atlanta are manifold, because of the great number here and the narrow, congested streets. The time has come when it is imperative that all lav*s regulating the running of autos must be observed. These laws are design ed for the protection and safety of our citizens, and hence their im portance. The police will certainly have the backing of Police Court in the enforcement of these laws, and all offenders brought before the bar will be given the limit. "It is nothing short of an outrage the way the automobile laws are daily violated in Atlanta. It seems that practically no attention is paid to them. For this reason, it becomes necessary for the police and the courts to interfere with a strong hand. Muffler Cut-Out Condemned. “The noise made by the muffler cut out is an abominable nuisance, and can not be stopped too soon. Persons who are trying to sleep at night de serve protection from *hese selfish and reckless drivers who never seem to consider anyone but themselves. Of course, the nuisance is much worse at night, when everything is quiet. “The law that requires autos to come to a full stop when trolley cars halt to take on and let off passen gers should be enforced by all means. The violation of this law is the most dangerous in the list. The disregard of this law Imperils the lives of citi zens every time they start to get on a car or alight from one. A driver who would shoot past a trolley car when men. women and children are getting on and off, and endanger their lives, should expect to go to the stock ade.” Cox College Opening Set for September 11 Brilliant Musical and Speaking Pro gram Has Been Arranged for First Day.

Willis, the aged bailiff who Friday afternoon shot and killed Luther Hawkins, the 18-year old Hapeville youth, while atempting to arrest him on a eharKe of beating a 50-eent board bill, will be arraigned for a prelimi nary hearing on Tuesday. In his cell at the Muscogee County jail to-night the olt\ man nervously paced back and forth or sat on the edge of his cot. brooding over the tragedy that charges him with mur der. He repeatedly expressed Ills deep regret over the killing and de clared it was unintentional. At his trial on Tuesday Willis, who is 60 years of age, being the oldest bailiff in this city, will claim, that h# was. branlshing his pistol in the air when he stumbled, and the weapon was accidentally discharged. The prosecution, on the other hand will endeavor to prove that Willis deliberately took aim and fired unon Hawkins from the back. The fatal bullet struck the youth in the back of the head and went through the skull, lodging over the right eye. The prosecution claims to have eyewit nesses who will swear that the bailiff shot with intent to wound him. The body of Hawkins will probably be shipped to Hapeville for interment to-morrow. No effort thus far has been made to secure ball for Willis and none will be until he is arraigned on Tues day.
