Belgian Motor Law Reversed Driver Identification Case
A Dinant court reverses a motor car speeding conviction due to inability to identify the driver. The ruling, echoed by an Ostend judgment, faults police for proving the chauffeur while a masked or indistinct driver could not be recognised. Citizens fear waivers allow motorists to evade limits, prompting debate on Belgian law and enforcement. Roy Daniels escapes prosecution here for an opium joint after city ordinance defects undermine the case.

It mentions Clarence Sharon facing embezzlement charges in Topeka, a rival printer suing Frasius, and a Chicago Great Western railway fare sale with routes through Ohio and Indiana.
