AUTOMOBILE REGULATIONS.
The Pattern Laid Down by the New
Jersey Legislature.

Your District Commissioners cannot go
very far wrong in framing set of laws to
govern the automobiists If they will follow
the pattern laid down by the New Jersey
legislators. said r. T. Thorpe of Newark
to Star man at the New Willard this
morning. In New Jersey the regulations
give entire satisfaction to those AUTOMOBILE
lists who are not reckless. and that is what
it was hoped they would do. Before man
is allowed to operate a machine of any
kind within the limits of the state he must
first file with the authorities an exact de-
scription of his machine must then. demon
strate that he Is capable of operating it.
His machine is then registered and he is
given number which he must display in a
conspicuous place, SO that it can be easily
seen. The law requires that the number be
placed on the back of the machine in the
day time. but at night it must be so placed
in the side lights. both of them that 1t can
be recognized. When driving Machine al
night white light must be displayed so
that 1t can be seen as the machine is ap-
preaching, and at least one red light dis
played ON the rear of the machine so
that it can be seen as the vehicle is APP
preached from that directions. In the open
country the machine can be run at a speed
OF twenty miles per hour but the operator
must slow up to at least ten miles per hour
in approaching all road crossings. In cities
and towns the speed is reduced to mile

"IaZarre.0

Lazarre. said to be the best production
ever made by Otis Skinner. will have its
first hearing in Washington at the Column
bia next Monday evening. By reason of
the favorable reports which have preceded
the new play much is expected The story
upon which the novel Is founded, from
which Mr.. Skinner and Aubrey Boucicault
made the drama, has to do with the con-
tention that Eleazar Williams, a mission
airy among the American Indians was none
other than Louis XVII. kidnapped from
his prison In Paris during the Terror and
brought to the new world. Particular
stress has been given to two of the scenes
which Mr.. Skinner has provided. One OF
these, the young half breeds tepee. forms
the background for the episode, which
proves to "Lazarre' that he is of royal
birth. Another is the palace of the Tuil-
leries, at Napoleonic levee. where La
zarre," after revealing to the emperor the
proofs OF his contention. escapes from the
guards by secret passage remembered
from childhood.

FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE, Va.
April 22, 1903.
The trial of Robert Hamilton at Fairfax
Court House. charged with train wrecking,
came to sudden termination yesterday
afternoon about 4:3O o'clock, when the jury
returned verdict finding him guilty of
murder in the second degree, and fixing his
punishment at fifteen years in the peniten-
tiary. His counsel, Messrs. Thornton and
Thornton, at once moved for new trial,
but the motion was Overruled by Judge
Love. The court. however, granted a stay
of execution for sixty days in order to allow
an appeal to higher court.
The early conclusion Of the case caused
much surprise, it was expected to last
several days longer. OF the hundred and
more witnesses summoned only twelve were
put on the stand for the state. One witness
for the defense was examined. his testimony
tending to discredt the statements of
Simeon beavers. who was expected to be
the star witness for the prosecution. There
was point in the proceedings yesterday
afternoon when it appeared that both sides
had drifted toward a compromise, and it
was agreed between counsel not to argue
the case, but to submit it with only one in
struction from the court. that relating to
the presumption of guilt. After celebrating
less than an hour the jury announced the
verdict, as above stated.
The Verdict Approved.
1t is understood that the verdict was
ceived with general satisfaction by the peo-
pie OF Fairfax 1t was established by the
evidence that the DETECTION of the switch
was the result of design, and the general
impression among those present at the trial,
according to the statements made, was that
the prisoner was guilty
The prosecution was conducted alone by
Commonwealth Attorney c. Vernon Ford,
and the prisoner was defended by Attorney
X. p. Thornton, who had been appointed
by the court, assisted by his brother, At
