"The lives of our men,-women and children are too precious to be risked by these men who insist on driving recklessly," continued the judge. Police Judge Foster said "there is only one thing to infer from) Mayor Smith's actions, namely, that he doesn't think citizens have the right to be protected against speeders." "In, the future," he said, "we will try reckless driving under the state f tatute. The mayor can't pardon men convicted under the state stat ute." , The only one of half a dozen speeders sentenced to jail this month who remains-in jail is T.

Oswald Gar rison Villard announced tonight that 100 representative Americans had ac cepted( the invitation of ' his maga zine, the Nation, to constitute a non partisan commission to sift charges ot atrocities in Ireland, made against one another by the British govern ment and the Sinn Fein. The an nouncement says the committee 'of 100 on Ireland, as it will be known, feels . that some neutral action is necessary in order to preserve Anglo-Saxon friendship and to prevent the spread of ill-will with the pos sibility of such irritation driving the United States, and Great Britain into war. The' invitation says that one grave result of the present situation is "the rapid growth of antf-British feeling which seriously threatens the un speakable calamity of war between the United States and Great Britain, and endangers the. peace. ofNthe world." ' t H The program is not fully devel oped, but its sponsors suggest that the British government, Sinn Fein and others be asked to present evi dence. The committee, it is said, will designate from its own mem bers, or outside, a small commission to hear testimony and make "a thorough and impartial report." The committee! plans to begin sessions in Washington early in October. The announcement says: "It is understood that President De Valera- is ready to appear before such a body and that Mrs. Mac Swiney, wife of the imprisoned mayor of Cork, .will cross the ocean for the same purpose. The English point of view will be presented equally fully. The project does not contemplate any recommendations in regard to future political relations between Great Britain and Irefcfnd." Mr. Villard's statement says that the committee includes United States senators, representatives in congress, mayors, judges, and lead ers in professional, busines an,d labor circles.
