WILL PROTECT
AUTO INTERESTS
CHlCAGOAMS TO COMBAT P0-
LICE Interference TERI
Scorching viii Be Discouraged and
an Effort Made to Put an
End to Wholesale
Arrests

Members of the Chicago Automobile
club have entered upon campaign FOR
the suuelching of the auto scorchers
1t will also be the aim of the club to
extend it's educational efforts to the
annoying constables and policemen who
are ever ready to make mark or the
man in a horseless vehicle.
Toward the consummation OF this the
club has appointed Sidney s. Gorham as
special counsel to defend the members
when arrested without cause
Mr.. Gorham's services will not be eX-
tended to those who willfully disregard
the ordinances of the city and surround
ing towns, but where it is apparent that
automobile drivers have been annoyed
without just reason all the resources OF
the club will be exerted in behalf of the
victims. In line with this the automo-
bile club adopted the following resolu-
tions at their last meeting:
Resolved, Firstly, that the Chicago
Automobile club desires again to put
itself on record as unalterably opposed
to reckless driving on the public high
ways and to urge upon its members the
adoption of an attitude OF utmost cour-
tesy and consideration toward other
users of the roads.
Secondly. that we are equally opposed
TO the petty and annoying persecution
to which some of our most careful and
considerate members have been sub
jected in various localities through the
laying of police traps and otherwise.
Thirdly, to resist such persecution and
defend the members of this club in
their legitimate use of our common
highways we do hereby appoint Sidney
S. Gorham special counsel for members
of this club.
Retain Lawyer
A yearly retainer will be provided Mr.
Gorham to enable him to defend the
club members arrested for violation OF
the speed ordinances. When a case is
tried in Chicago a nominal fee of $40
will be charged and fee of $25 will
hold in a case tried outside of the city.
Mr.. Gorham will be prepared to furnish
bail to club members at any time, and
can be reached either at his office dur
ing the day or at his residence in the
evening.
"In this way the club hopes to put an
end to the wholesale arrests of motor
lists who had no intention of breaking
the law, nor any idea that they were
exceeding the speed limit" said Mr..
Gorham. "Inded, many cases were re-
corded last summer where the only mo-
tive of the authorities was one of ma
licious spite, and where the drivers
produced good evidence tending to
show that they had not exceeded the
speed limit by even fraction of a
second.
"Glencoe was especially radical in its
treatment of the Sunday tourists, and 1t
was believed by many that the author
tiles of that village were inspired more
by mercenary motives than by any real
desire to protect its people from the
speed fend. The fines imposed in that
rustic spot during the automobile sea-
son of 1905 were sufficient to keep the
town fathers in cigars and private
stock for the whole winter and provide
clothes for their families besides"

MEXICAN EXPERIMENT
Diaz Government Goes into the
Railway Bushes Right Up
to It's Neck.
LIMANToUR EXPLAINS THINGS
Government Had to Buy the Roads to
Fight the Railway Trust on
This Side Of the Line,

City Of Mexico, Dec. 17.-Minfster
of Finance Limantour, in a speech
remarkable for its straightforward
ness, presented to congress the reasons
which prompted the government to con-
sunmate the great railroad merger by
which the republic comes into posses
sion Of the two great trunk lines Of
the country, together with thousands
of miles of subsidiary lines. With the
control of the National and the Cen
trail, together with their dependent
lines, the Mexican government prae-
tically owns all of the big operating
lines of the country.
Feared Our Railway Trust"
The most remarkable statement in
the minister's speech was that to the
effect that the government was forced
to go into the railroad business on a
larger scale because Of fear of what
he styled the great railroad trusts in
the United States. He said that If
this defensive action had not been TAX
en- by Mexico some Of the great rail
way systems Of the United States
would enter the republic and swallow
the transportation facilities of the
country. This he characterized as a
peril which was now alarming the
people of the great northern republic.
Mexico in the Business to Stay.
In his speech there occurred an i'm
portant forecast, which intimated that
the merger was only the beginning Of
great plan, and he declared that the
Mexican government had decided to
vigorously enter the railroad field. Aft
er delivering his speech he presented
bill, at the request Of President
DiaZ, asking that the session Of CON
gress which is about to close be pro
longed that the whole situation might
be carefully considered by the deputies
and the senators.
Congress Was with the Speaker.
During the address Minister Lman-
tour said that the government was at
first forced to go into the railroad
business in 1908, when the National
was purchased because of the fact that
q merger between that line and the
Central was then about to be consum-
mated. At that time the government
declared that it's attitude in railroad
affairs would from thenceforth be pas
stve, but the circumstances mentioned.
he said, had been forced by the So
called railway trust Of the United
States. The speech throughout its de-
livery was frequently applauded. There
seemed to be an Overwhelming senti-
ment in favor of the ideas advanced
by Senator Limantour.

"ALL QUIET At WARSAW"
Russia Once More Hammers Peace

Warsaw, Russian Poland, Dec IL
Reports received from points through
out Russian Poland show that the gov
ernment's policy of firmness has been
successful in subduing the last of the
smolderlng sparks of revolution. This
result was accomplished at a terrible
cost to the Polish people, the number
of victims being estimated at thou
sands. Business has become stagnant
the trades and industries are bankrupt
and the masses are dispirited and in a
state Of poverty.
Despite the depressing effect of this
martial rule the Poles are busily en-
gagged in organizing their forces for the
next parliamentary elections. For the
time being arty differences have been
forgotten and the national spirit has
