CHAUFFEURs
Conflicting Automobile Laws in Va
rious States Are Likely to
Cause Trouble.

Eastern Automobiles are contemplat-
ing with dismay the epidemic of anti
automobile legislation that has broken
out, and consider it very probable that
they may be forced to take united action
in an appeal to congress for some meas
ure Of uniformity in the laws of the sew
eral states.
AS the matter stands there is a pros
pect of chauffeurs being continually in hot
water because Of the, ranging laws in
the different states and cities. Ii the
bills that are at present before the diff
ferent legislatures are passed motor
car operators will have to pay half a
dozen different fees and wear; as many
different tags in that number Of states.
1t is thought also that they will be apt
to be arrested while entering state and
going to the proper place to take out a
license.
At~AlbaDy a number of amendments to
the Cocks law, passed last year, have been
prepared, and Assemblyman Cohn has
put in a bill for the licensing of auto
mobiles that carry passengers for fares.
Most Of the amendments to the Cocks
bill are Of a character that will make it
| more drastic, such. for instance. making
it a misdemeanor for an automnblist not
to stop when the driver of a horse holds
up his hand to do SO.
| In New Jersey, where New Workers.
l.,
which provides for the arrest of motorists
at the discretion Of constabes. license
fee and tag. q. speed Of eight milesEn town
and twenty IN the country, and a speed
! of six miles at crossings, is being bitterly
| fought by the New Jersey club. In Con-
necticut Representative Warren, who has
! been quoted as saying that it might be
a good idea to use a rifle in some in
stances to bring the red devils down to
| the proper speed, has introduced a bill
calling for q speed limit of eight miles
| an hour In Pennsylvania the "Kirk
good roads bll'' calls for an annual tax
of $50 on every automobile.
| In Wisconsin, Assembyman Molten
hauer has introduced licensing bill that
contains other restrictions. Massachu-
sets in all has several bills before the
| legislature, some wise, but most of them
deemed foolish by motorists. The draft
| ing Of the automobile bills is in nearly
every instance done by rural legislators.

5 WORRIED KEEP FORWARDS IN LINE
Arthur Iwrin Says Football Rules
Arthur Irwin Says Football Rules
This Change.

1.-THE suggestion of Frank Butterwortn
that linemen be kept in the line and the
backs in their places until the ball is put
IN play, is one which l think will be
adopted by the football rules committee
at their coming meeting said Arthur
Irwin of New York yesterday. Irwin
keeps in close touch with football de-
.yelopments as he has business on the
gridiron in the fall. From talks 1 have
had with football men l think the idea
will be adopted There is a hue and cry
among the school teams and teams OF
lighter weight against mass plays and
while mass plays are suited to the big
college players and do not hurt them any,
there is feeling that the younger boys
should be considered and the game made
more suitable for their lack of weight.
Some think that the game as it is now
is too heavy and fast for them and that
they cannot keep up with it.
.'Yetswhile keeping the line men in line
would prevent the heavy formation plays.
there would be nothing to prevent
tackle or guard from dropping back and
running with the ball. One Of the backs
could go up into the line and take the
other mans place, unless special pro-
vision was made to keep the seven for
wards in the line. If this is done it will
mean a demand for heavy backs, instead
OF the light, fast, lodging backs such as
Yale has been using the last two sea-
sons with such good results
