OWNER APPROVES PLAN.
Automobiles Believes in Having the
Machines Numbered.

Taylor Grimes of 1135 18th street, who
owns and operates an automobile. has writ
ten to the Commissioners in favor of their
plan of numbering all horseless vehicles In
the District. II hope" he says, your hon
orable body will not be Influenced by that
association of automobile owners who, 1t Is
published, intend to fight the proposed reg
uiatons which your board is about to put
into effect. In my opinion, not only should
there be required numbers on the rear of
all auto-vehicles, but numbers large enough
to be easily read at distance Of 100 feet.
II have not heard of a better plan to
assist the officers Of the law in identifying
the drivers Of motors, in reaching the vio-
lators of the speed law and in fixing the
responsibility for accidents than a system
Of numbering AS daily user of an auto
mobile, I believe that the safety Of the
public demands regulations AS to motor
vehicles much more stringent than those
now in force"

BELIEVED THAT ALL COUNTRIES
INTERESTED WILL CONTRIBUTE.
Secretary Hay Addresses Gathering OF
Diplomats on the Import, Work and
Aims Of the Organization.

Before the representatives OF fifteen South
and Central American republics Secretary
Hay this morning in a notable speech PAID
a glowing tribute to the union OF the
Americas, as exemplified In the bureau OF
American republics, and called attention
to the Importance. more today than ever be-
FORE of emphasizing the permanence OF this
organization. as well as the strength OF the
bond The occasion was the last meeting

members of the bureau were present
Secretary Hays Remarks.
Secretary Hay said that the bureau. dur
ing the thirteen years Of It's existence,
while 1t had not accomplished all that It's
founders had in view and had. therefore,
not outlived Its usefulness, It had proved
more and more each year the important
part 1t was destined to play in the relations
of the Americas. He also expressed nus
personal indebtedness to the bureau for the
help II had been to him IN contributing 10
the cordial relations he enjoyed with the
South and Central Americas accredited to
Washington.
On the Pan-American diplomats the
speech made deep impression and was
significance has not been lost to the other
members of the diplomatic corps.
The object Of the meeting this morning
was to consider the report of the board ap-
pointed some time ago to look into the ex-
pediency of erecting a permanent home for
the bureau in Washington which should be
commensurate with the dignity and de-
mands of the organization. The report was
read and was unanimously approved. Its
recommendations will be sent at once to
all countries represented in the bureau and
they will be asked to contribute their share
toward the cost Of the lot and the building.
The Proposed Building.
According to the tentative plans of the
board presented by Mr.. Rockhill. director
of the bureau, the first floor Of the build
ing will consist Of three large conference
Iooms which will be used for the meetings
of the bureau and also for Pan-American
international conferences. 1t will also house
the Columbus Memorial Library, which now
comprises 1900 volumes in addition to
many valuable files and papers. 1t Is intend
ed that the building shall be located some
where near the State. War and Navy build
ing, and so constructed as to admit of adj
dition.
Secretary Hay commended the idea of
erecting permanent home for the bureau
and library, and promised to take up the
matter with the President. 1t is consid-
cred almost certain that all of the countries
interested will be willing to contribute their
small share, though this may require some
little time pending action by the various
congresses.
