NEW REGULATIONS FOR AUTOS
Council Not Satisfied With Present
Arrangements Here.

Tie a string to your automobile
number and when you are speeding
like the wind and some foolish police
man tries to take your number for
violating the speed ordinance, just
jerk the string and flip the number up
so he can't see it and then give vent
to foolish laughter. The policeman
may stand egape, shake his fist and
vow dire things against you but he
won't be able to do anything.
This 1t is stated are the directions
that three speed-mad automobile
drivers in the city would give If you
attempted to follow their example.
ct understand that there are three
such parties in the city," said Coun-
Gilman c. E. Jordan, who was dis
cussing the changes that the council
intends to bring about in the present
automobile ordinance.
"At the next council meeting we in
tend to amend the present ordinance
so that children will not be allowed to
drive autos and also provide that
lights must be placed on the rear axle
of the autos so that we are able to see
the automobile numbers in the dark.
Here the other evening a woman just
escaped being run down by an auto in
which a young boy was acting as
driver and running it like mad. The
woman couldn't see the number be-
cause it was too dark"

your name presented for president at

I am only attempting to give formal
expression to the sentiment that exists

HERMANN DOUBTS 1T.
Does Not Think American Association
VIII Invade Chicago.

Cincinnati, Dec. .15.-Doubt as to the
accuracy of the report that the Amer
lean Association had decided to place
a ball club in Chicago. was expressed
baseball commission today.
The American Association will not
be allowed to enter Chicago, declared
he, unless the National and American
leagues give their consent. 1 don't
care to discuss these reports until there
has been some official notification OF
the alleged invasion brought to my
notice. I had a talk with President
Price of the Columbus club and 9TH
ers In the east last week, and they
these yarns. The American league has
gone on record as opposing the ad-
mission of the American Association to
Chicago and I am sure the National
league also would. If the American
Association has any grievance 1 feel
take the arbitrary action with which
they are accredited. The entire story
looks to me like a piece of imagination
without foundation of fact"
Callahan Is Willing.
Chicago, Dec. 18.-It can not be con-
f1rmed, but it is generally reported to-
day that the American league will re-

Il have accepted the offer of the

FRITZ DUREIN Is CONVICTED.
Same Old Charge Against the Veteran
JOintist.

Fritz Durein, patron of many
courts. was convicted in police court
last evening on a charge of keeping
and maintaining nuisance" the only
charge ever preferred against Fritz.
The evidence of two policemen was to
the effect that they walked into
Durein's apartments and there dis
covered three German gentlemen
absorbing kraut, rye bread and beer.
They didn't see Fritz sell the beer or
the kraut or the rye bread, but it was
inferred that he sold the brew. Durein
was found guilty, and fined the custo-
mary 500 and 80 days in Jail. He at
once appealed. Durein now has cases
in three courts, the district court, the
supreme court of the state appeal
