RIDING ON THE SIDEWALK The Rabbi Gave Bond, However, in the Sum of $lO and the Case Was Settled—He Protested Being Arrested. Vorially the law is no respeetor if persons and 'biro in Brunswick you r>u=t not ride bicycles no the side walk. It mattters not whether you be clergy or layman, you must get in the middle of the road when you want to do a little stunt in the scorching line. This was more than demonstrated yesterday morning, when Policeman John L. Lamb placed under arrest Rab bi Warsaw, of the synagogue Beth Tefiloh, on the charge of violating t'he city ordinance as regards cycling. It seems that early yesterday morn ing Dr. Warsaw was very anxious to reach from the .intersection of Monk and Newcastle streets to the corner of Bay and Monk, and in his anxiety to gain his destination he lost sight of the street and wended his way on the sidewalk, mounted, of course, upon his wheel, Policeman John L. Lamb, always wide awake and incidentally one of the best po licemen Brunswick has ever had, took in the situation and forthwith nabbed the rabbi. Dr. Warsaw protested that he was a minister of the gospel and should not he disturbed, hut this did not please the officer and he compelled the rabbi to put up a check of SIO.OO bond money for his appearance in the police court. As Dr. Warsaw is to sail for New Yoi A this morning, however, Mayor Crovatt was called into the game and he allowed the ecclesiastical wheelman to go on his own recognizance. Officer Lamb was seen in reference to the arrest and when questioned on the subject he simply said that he did not know Dr. Warsaw, saw him violating a city ordinance, knowing His duty in the premises, arrested him.
