AT the session Of The City Councr
Tuesday night Councilman Florse1m
automobile ordinance viii be called io
final passage and adoption
The ordinance provides hcenS,
which IS To be registered At the comp
troler's office hy the owner. tNho shall
be assigned a number. which Is To he
displayed conspcuously and be visible
back and front. day and night.
The license must be renewed before
the end of each year.
The law Of the road keep to the right
must be observed
1t shall be unlawful for any one under
sixteen years of age. or one under the
influence of liquor or intoxicated. to
operate an automobile. or auto. or loco
mobile or any vehicle propelled by gas,
electricity, gasoline or steam.
The speed is fixed at ten miles. with
four miles when turning corners
For violation of any part Of the ordi-
nance there is provided a fine not to
exceed $Ioo nor less than $40. and in
default of payment, is to be worked on
the streets and alleys and other public
works in the city Of Shreveport at the
rate of ST. 100 per day
These in substance, are the most inn
portant features Of the ordinance. which
may be approved with the exception OF
the ten mile speed. which should be
modified by an amendment limiting the
speed to six miles an hour.
1t is expected that this suggestion
will arouse the vehement protest of four
fifths of the Automobiles. but the peo-
pie have rights which must be respected
The right OF privilege to live and cross
the street without constant apprehen
sion of being run down and crushed or
nangled is one of those inalienable
rights of the American citizen, born or
naturalized
IF the speed be fixed at ten miles. If
means a latitude of twenty miles 1t is
a fact that very few Automobiles real
ize the speed at which they propel their
machines through the thoroughfares.
While no objection can be or should
be urged against the automobile. it is
nevertheless true that there is strong
and growing sentiment against a,itoino-
bilists simply because some of the enthu- |
siants have assumed and some do be |
lieve they have the right of way over all |
things animate and inanl1,ate. and when
ever they toot-toot their horn everybody
women and children as well, must Jump
out of the way Or get run over.
The limit of six miles, which is reas-
enable for vehicuar and horse traffic.
should be sufficient for autos and similar
machines when propelled through the
crowded with people and
wagons and all kinds of Vehicles
As the automobiles are in the minor
ity, the Council must legislate for the
good of the greatest number of these. or
the people having no autos and who
must be protected from the recklessness
and the carelessless Of the enthusiasts
who believe il is hardship to not be
permitted to go through the thorough
fares at breakneck speed

A LITTLE KNOWN INVENTOR.
Detany, an freshman, Who ha.
Revo'utionized T%eIegraphy.
From the Kansas CITY S,ar

Hicil tIiS Kansas City Star,
A correspondent has lately visited a
corner of the world but little in the
public eye (Nantucket, Mass.). to IN
wade the privacy OF u Very remarkable
man, who divides his time between
raising vegetables by intensive methods
or farming n experiments in tel
egraphy, potential OF results of great
II immediate commercial. Importance.
This man, who cares Very little for
popular recognition, but in his chosen
field of scientific Investigation and me-
chanlcal invention is widely known and
highly IGNORED by scientific men. and
especially by those who have special
lied in electricity, is Patrick Z. Delany.
The son OF Immigrants from ireland,
with whom ne came to his n
when he was 8 years old, his opportuni-
Ties OF EDUCATION were very limited.
While still q boy he became "a telegraph
operator, pushed his way to the front,
and since 1880 has been IL fertile in
Nentor OF evolutionary systems in tel
egraphy. His first great discovery, for
Which this country offered no market,
was the Observation-Disclosures sys-
tenn, winch he took to England, applied
TO the Postal telegraph service, and in
1883 sold to The British government for
a considerable fortune.
Since then Mr.. Delany has done
many Things of controlling Importance
in electrical communication. He worked
the old Atlantic cable with an ordinary
Morse key, Il feat deemed impossible
until it vas done. He invented the
cable for underground transmission OF
currents which is immune to induction.
ana became the basis of the Standard
Underground Cable More
than 100 other electrical Inventions of
greater or less value led up to What is
unquestionably the greatest work of his
NE thus far--the perfected system of
automatic telegraphy, which is Known
as the Ielepost. by this system tele-
graph messages are sent through the
wires at the rate of over LOCO words q
minute, or faster IL desired. One of its
wires equals seventeen of the ordinary
sort. Tne great economics in plant and
operation charges permit this new sys-
tenn, which will enter the field early in
1913 with n four-wire trunk line be-
tween New York and Chicago, to pledge
a tariff based upon the unit charge OF
70 cents 1or twenty-five words, ire
spectlve of distance, and S cents for
each additional ten words.
An interesting feature of the a,,to-
matte rapid system is that it may be
worked over a telephone circuit With
out in II way Interfering with the
current and continuous use of the wire
for telephone purposes. This will per-
NIT close alliances with the companies
operating the great mileage of indie
pendent telephone lines throughout fha
country.
