Automobile drivers who want to
use the streets it this borough must
Obey 'he law. otherwise they will

The Officer was standing on upper
Payette street when he saw an auto-mobile
coming up the thoroughfare
at a dangerOUS fate of speed. T.i
detect the license number was an
impossibility so be blew his whistle
as a signal for the driver to stop,
realizing the olllcer did not have his
number and not realizing that the
officer was possessed of a eel tain
amount of thought and ambition the
driver, instead of obeying the whistle
to stop, stepped on the gas and
drOVfl even faster out the pike. The
officer immediately commandeered a
passing automobile and directed the
driver to "speed up" until he over-took
tin- fleeing autoist at Harmon-ville,
where he made his presence
known and commanded the driver to
stop. I Ms verbal older was Obeyed
and jumping on the running board
told the driver to turn his car nnd
drive to the borough hall.

und explained that he was in
a hurry to get to Collegevllle. The
Officer explained that when he blew
the whistle his only intention was to
give him warning about driving

altogether his command to stop, it
v . - then he decided to place him

POLICE MARKING

Dangerous Corners in Fayette

Will Show Courses to
Motorists By Lines
MARKING T0BEEXTENDED
Traffic in the narrow portion of
Payette street from Plrst avenue to
(he MatSOnford bridge is to he given
protection by marking the street In-tersections
showing the courses to
1 e followed.
An extremely dangerous place is
the intersection of I'ayette and I lec-tor
atrceta A street railway is oper-ated
on both Streets, making the in-tersection
Very dangerous especially
tu strangers who do not know of
the method of operation of the rail-way.
There is a railway curve at
the intersection and cars rounding
the curve make a long swing into
the roadway endangering traffic of
being side-swipe.!. Then the cars
bound for Norristown turn into Pay-ette
street and back down the hill
before making the return trip. This
is very confusing to strangers and as
(here is no policeman stationed at
the coiner regularly, there Is much
confusion.
The first markings were made in
Fayette street at Hector street last
evening by officer Jacquot and will
be completed this evening. The
police committee is studying out a
system that will be simple so that
traffic may easily follow the lines.
This morning there wire many com-ments
on the markings and the
police authorities were commended
for instituting the system, and it has
been suggested that the arrow at the
end of the railway curve is confus-ing
and in its place should be a
straight line showing traffic a sate
distance from the trolley rail and
arrows should be placed showing the
safe turns into both Hector and I'ay-ette
streets.
The police committee intend to
carry out the markings at First ave-nue
anil Dim streets, both of which
are heavily traveled.
There have been a number of ar-rests
for violation of the borough
ordinance prohibiting parking near
Are hydrants, many towns are plac-ing
traffic lines at all tire hydrants
and it Is likely that the police com-mittee
will adopt tins plan here.
POLICE GET LICENSE
NUMBERS MIXED
Local Workman Suspected by New
Jersey Police in Motor Fatality
NSW Jersey : late police got on the
wrong trail in hunting for the driver
of a machine which on July (> struck'
and killed a man in New Jersey.
Friday afternoon two members of
the state constabulary caused a sen-sation
at the home of Allen Strick-land,
on the Charles Kllw a tiger farm
near Sheep Hill in North Coventry
township, Chester county. It seems
that the state police had the number
of Mr. Strickland's BUlOk car as that
of the machine th.'it figured in the
fatal accident. They called to in-vestigate
the tragedy.
Mr. BtlCkland, it Is stated, was
able to prove an alibi. He is em-ployed
at the Lee Tire Company
plant at Spring Mill, and drives bis
car to his home at Sheep Hill, near
('e.larville for the week-ends. The
state police found that Mr. Strick-land
spent Sunday, July 8, at his
home and that he left about 0 o'clock
in the evening for this borough,
where he boards on work days. By
an ...Id coincidence the number taken
by the state police not only was that
of Mr. Strickland's car. but of a
I'.uiok car. Mr. Strickland owns a
Huick machine.
The tate police say that after the
car in question struck and fatally
injured the man. the driver speeded
up and escaped. It is probable that
the wrong number was taken.
CONSHOHOCKEN WOMAN

LOCAL POST OFFICE A'
LOSING PROPOSITION
Not For Government But For A.
Talone Who Owns Building and
Must Pay For Upkeep.
The Conshohocken I'ost Office is a
losing proposition, not from a Gov-ernmental
standpoint. Put to \.
Talone. owner of the building, am!
unless a different agreement is
reached between the owner and
lessee before the present lease ex-pires
in 1927, th'' mail will be dis-tributed
from other quarters,
The present site of the post office
Was elected hy Mr. Talone especial-ly
as a federal building and he en-tered
into a ten-year lease with the
Government at an annual rental
back in 1917. At thai lime the rent
Was high enough to make the build-ing
a paying investment. However,
Since that time the war ensued and
With it came a meat advance ill the
prill' of everything with the excep-tion
of the annual rent from i'nch:
Sam.
According to the lease with the
Government Mr. Talone was obliged
to equip the building, furnish heat,
light, water and other necessities
for which he was to be paid the
monthly rent of JlLTi.OO. Sine then
the 0081 of everything has almost
been doubled and at the present
lime it is costing the owner prac-tically
every cent of the rent to
operate the building and giving him
no return on the money Invested,
He has taken the matter up with
Government officials, who insist that
a contract is a contract and in the
United states Government all con-tracts
are lived up to. even If it
docs necessitate a sacrifice.
Mr, Tal cannot force the gov-ernment
to abandon the office but
the government has the privilege,
according to their contract, of va-cating
any time they choose.
Mr. Talone says that recently the
requirements of the authorities be-came
so great that he began to fig-ure
things out. Then he asked the
government to assist financially
with the running expenses and Bays
he was reminded that the contract
which was made in 1917 does not
expire until 1927.
Mr. Talone will take the matter
up again with the authorities, and,
if he is not compensated in some
way for bis investment, will make
arrangements to have the interior
of the building changed for business
purposes as soon as the contract
expires.

LEWIS BY KNOCKOUT
Norristown Colored Lad, Sub-stituting
For Donohue,
Rocked to Sleep in The
Second Round. — Lockoff
Defeated by Jack Wallace-liefore
the largest crowd of the
season, Hattling Make knocked out
Kid Lewis, of Norristown. in the
second round of a scheduled eight
round bout at the semi-monthly
bouts held last Friday evening on
the Athletic Pleld. In the semi-windup
Lockoff was defeated by
Jack Wallace, of Philadelphia, in an
eight round bout. Bud Tolliver. of
Norristown, won the colored middle
weight championship of Montgom-ery
COUnty when he knocked out
Young Terry, of Ambler, in the
fourth round.
The Blake-Lewis bout kept the
huge crowd of fans on its feet and
they were sorry when the bout end-ed
tor they were witnessing some of
the old time 'sock-em and rock-em'
fighting. Lewis, a colored lad, sub-stituted
for Jackie Donahue, of Nor-ristown,
who was arrested on Wed-nesday
and was unable to appear.
The Norristown lad. weighing six-teen
pounds heavier than Hlake,
stood about six inches shorter but
tore int., the local battler like a
tractor. Hlake, with a long reach,
held him off for the first round and
had the colored lad on the mat
twice while Hlake went tumbling
over him. The bell saved him from
a knockout In the first round und ho
came out for the second round fresh
Hlake decided to end the affair nnd
went after the Norristowner with
all he bad and after taking a count
twice lie stayed on the mat long
enough to have ten counted over
him and a bucket of water wasted in
bringing him buck to his senses.
It was Blake's liftli straight knock-out.
Jack Wallace received the Judges
ile.i.si wr LOOkoff In an eight
round fuss which was watched with
many anxious eyes. A few weeks
ago Wallace held the knockout art-ist
to a draw and the latter asked
for another bout which was granted.
Lockoff, however, failed to get re-venge
while the Philadelphia red-head
cleverly kept Lockoffs danger-ous
left under cover so well that it
landed Hush but three times during
the twenty-four minutes of grilling.
Wallace used good headwork and
never forced the bout at tiny stage.
His strategy was the work of n vet-eran
and it was his wonderful dis-play
of gray matter that brought
him out victorious. He used u left
jab which scored many points for
him but he did not follow them up
showing headwork on his pail for
very few lighters stay on their feet
long when they mix it up with Lock-off.
The decision was popular while
several dealt out the well known
ra zzberrles.
