Epidemic Of Measures Attracting

Throughout East.
Throughout East

Especial to The Dispatch.)
NEW YORK. March 3.-Autonioblltsts
of the Eastern States are closely watch
ing the progress of proposed legislation
regulating the use OF motor vehicles in
streets and highways. Following the lead
OF the Automobile Club OF America, State
and local organizations OF motor vehicle
owners have begun to impress upon legis-
slators their belief that they have rights
4 on the roads that ought to be respected.
Everywhere organized automobiles have
shown themselves as eager to restrain
careless and reckless chaiiffeurs as have
an dother class of citizens.
In New York State several measrEes
are pending, the most recent being the.
sL'Hommedieu bill to tax automobiles
by weight at the rate Of one dollar
8 for each five hundred pounds. and the
Lee bill. to compel aMtonlohillsts to corlle
TO a. dead stop when approaching a
FESTIVE horse unless otherwise signalled
by the driver of the latter.
New bills aimed at automobile E,lla-
ton are of almest daily occurrence in
the New Jersey Legislature. One intro
8duced yesterday makes 1t a. lnisd
not to slow down when s.gnalled to do
80 bst a person coming from an opposite
direction, with $500 fine, or sixty days
in jail, or both, as the penalty
6 In Massachusetts a. tendency Is shown
to be more fair toward the use OF the
automobile and q. raising of speed limits
3 is expected. so many bills have been
introduced there that the proposed
measures are likely to be turned over to
a subcommittee so that their principal
/. features may be merged into one general
bill. /, s
In Connecticut the new state laws are
effective. "A nonresident automosilist
carrying tho. registration number Of an
other State Is entitled to the use OF the
highways for fifteen days in each year

PLEASANTLY characteristic
~ tale of General Frederick Fun
~ ston's attitude of mid during
the recent disaster and one
which probably add to the ad-
miration and respect for his decision
and kindliness which already exists
here is being told by brother officer.
On the morning of the earthquake, as
is generally known, Ger eral Funston
with his customary promptness tele-
phoned to the Mayor and offered the
services of the United States troops
at the Preside to aid in preserving or
evolving some order out of the chaos
which reignea in the city, and within
two hours after the earthquake had
soldiers on duty.
kilograms were sent East that day
telling of the presence of the soldiers
and announcing mistakenl-- that mar
tial law prevailed. sAs martial law
can only be established by the order
of the President himself, there was
some astonishment and something
perhaps of CONSERVATION in the well
regulated circles of the War Depart
ment in Washington.
The Secretary of War telegraphed d
at once to General Funston; By
what authority are you acting?"
Having done most of his soldering
in places and at times when he had
no authority but himself to depend
upon, General Funston had in time
of calamity followed his usual method
of procedure and zone the necessary
thing as quickly as he could without
stopping to consult. When he re-
ceived the Secretary's wire, however,
he did consult with members of his
staff
What do you think this means%
he asked.
"It means" answered one, that
you have not only acted without au-
thority, but that your action in send
ing out troops for any other purpose
than the preservation of United
States property is directly against
military rules and regulations
We'll, | know that" answered the
general, "but if it costs me my COM
mission, can't sit here and have my
soldiers out keeping people off the
grass and nothing else while the city
is burning and the troops are actually
needed
"Oh. you needn't worry" said the
officer, ''you won't lose your COM
mission, and you will get lot OF
praise for what you have done, but it
isn't according to military rules
Upon General Funston's telegraph
ing to the Secretary of War and ex-
planning the situation he received the
desired authority to proceed and an
official confirmation and approval OF
bis actions.
