Three regrnes were arrested this morning and also one white man, for not having the vehicle license de- planded by the city, The white mah was Hamilton Barnett; the negroes, Albert Davis Emanuel Minor and AL Ian Hodges. They were arraigned before the recorder, Davis being dis missed and the cases 9f the others being continued.
 These arrests followed the mayors order to the chief of police saying that too many vehicles were being driven about the city without the license. and that police would arrest all offenders of the ordinance. no matter to whom the team or vehicle belonged nor by whom 1t was driven.
 The mayor. when seen this morning. said that he had been sure for several days that many wagons and buggies were being driven without license and that he proposed to see that the city received what the oFdipance demand ed owners of vehicles should pay. It is said that some of the largest firms of the city are operating more ve- hicles in Mobile than they have paid license for. If any of these wagons are found on the streets without li- cense they will be taken up by the police and the owner or the driver held to pay.
