Hon. d. A. DeArmond introduced q

the people of this country will be i'm
pressed with the inequalities OF the
tariff system. They will realize that
excessive tariff rates are responsible

Provides for Federal Licensing Of Motor
Cars

NEW YORK, Dec. IA federal auto-
mobile bill similar to the one introduced
Just before the close of the last session
Of Congress, will be introduced almost
Immediately by Congressman Cox Of
New York who had charge Of the bill
at the last session. Tht bill was in
troduced at 50 late u daythat nothing
was done with it. The bill has the back
ing of the American Automobile Asso-
citation. II is based on interstate traffic
and provides for federal licensing Of
motor cars. These licenses are to be
in addition to the present state license,
the only change being that after an
owner has taken out license in his own
state he can tour in any other state by
obtaining federal license. Under pres
ent conditions, a car must be licensed
in all states in which it travels, some
states not even giving one days grace to
an owner from another state to obtain
another license.

Lieut.. Lefort Charged With Forgery Of
Officer Names.

NEW YORK, Dec 3.--The evidence in
the court martial of Lieut. Allen Lefort,
of the U. S. Army. was concluded yester-
day and the court win consider the case
today. The result will not be given out
until the finding has been passed on by
the war department and the president.
Lieut. Lefort is charged with forgery,
it being claimed that he discounted notes
ON which the names of various brother
officers had been forged. Lefort was ar
rested several months ago when he call
ed at a hotel, for decoy letter address
ed to Major Frank II. Hodges. This Let
ter was ostensibly in reply to an apph-
cation for loan. Lefort explained his
action by saying that he had been asked
by Lewis +. Buck, described as desert
er from the army, to call for the letter,
He knew that there had been forgeries
going on and he suspected Buck. He had
secured some evidence against him and
thought that in this letter there would
be more. He said he expected to lay the
whole matter before the authorities.
