That Patrolman Varey did not strike
Mrs. H. " Owen of 2166 East Eleventh

brushed her aside but did not strike
her.

COUNCIL STOPS LETTERING
OF STREETS WITH CARDS
Amends Old Ordinance Which Here-
tofore Permitted Distribution
of Advertising Cards
at Corners

BY amending the existing ordinances
the city council yesterday practically
put a stop to the promiscuous distribu-
tion of cards and advertising matter
on the streets.
Under the old ordinance cards were
permitted If not over 3x5 inches in size.
Lately so many persons have been dis
tributing cards that certain corners In
the business district are Uttered and
the work of the street sweepers is
wasted.
Y.M. C. A. representatives alone op-
posed the change, they saying that 1t
Would serve to keep them out Of touch
with men as they cannot reach them
through the usual means of publicity.

COUNCIL WILL OMIT
MONDAY MORNING SESSION
Lawmakers Decide to Crowd Legis.
lative Matters Into Longer After
noon Sittlngs, Adhering Strictly
to Order of Business

Because of summers approach the
city council has decided to omit the
usual Monday morning sessions here
after and condense it's business in the
afternoon session, starting at 1880
o'clock instead of 2. =
1t will also adhere to the order OF
business strictly which brings new
business" and miscellaneous business
to the end of the session each after
noon.
This rule will avoid the necessity of
many persons waiting in the lobby for
hours in the hope of injecting their
matters into the routine, fact which
has prolonged the sessions heretofore
long after regular hours.
President Niles Pease says visitors
with business can safely postpone their
calls till after o'clock Mondays unless
they wish to attend the sittings out of
curiosity or to see how Legislative do
ings are enacted.

ASK BIG HOTELS TO
PAY MORE LICENSES
OWNERS OF LODGING HOUSES
STATE GRIEVANCE
Councimen Delay Action One Week
to Give Interested Bonifaces a
Chance to State Their
Case

The old license rates are likely to
be restored for hotels and lodging
houses as result of Councilman
Henry Lyons inquiries into what rates
are actually paid by such business
men.
Under the old order of things licenses
were based on gross receipts. Last
year the council, thinking 1t could ger
more revenue, changed the ordinance
by basfng the revenue on the number
of rooms, at a rate of "a cents per
room per year.
Yesterday Auditor w. c. Mushet
furnished some figures at random,
showing that the big hotels now paid
much less, while the lodging houses,
many of which are in Lyons ward,
paid less. At random he cited these
instances:
Alexandria-Las year, $24.75 pei
quarter; this year, $12.12.
Angelus-Last year, $3.50 per quar-
ter; this year, $16SS.
Van Nuys-Last year, $21.75 per
quarter; this year, $50.
Hollenbeck-Last year, S29.25 pei
quarter; this year, s16.9S.
Natick-Last year, S21.75 per quarter;
this year, $S62.
Edison-Last year, So per quarter;
this year, S..
Russ House-Last Year, SO per quar-
ter; this year, $10.S0.
Wilmington-Last year, SO per quar-
ter; this year, Sc.
Wykoff-Last year, $3.50 per quar-
ter; this year, 5000.
Councilman Lyon said the burder
rested too heavily on owners who coulc
least afford it and he preferred the ole
conditions, which would also net the
city more revenue.
In order to allow full discussion ac-
ton was delayed till Monday, now
ever.

for home making and yet are nice
enough to wear on any occasion are
necessary consideration for every up

being used for fashioning many gowns
and waists of this order and waist
of this material is here sketched, show
ing groups of narrow tucks in front,
wide tucks in Gibson effect at each

omitted If desired. may be made of
lace or embroidery. The yoke may be
made of lace or of plain material,
and may be omitted If an elaborate
evening waist is called for. The ruff

In spite of the unfortunate accident
which closed its career near Taston,
Mr.. Kuu says that he proved the ef-
ficiency and value of the simple style
of construction used. and that II Is

rience, Mr.. Kull says:
Cars. are seldom ready for such tours
on a days notice, and the siiSnt
changes necessary in the gyroscope
were quickly proved by the drastic test
to which the car was put. We made

Trade at last hand seems to have been
slightly less enthusiastic during the
week. Early announcements, in scat
tered quarters, of 1909 plans may be in
Fart responsible for this Popular and
medium priced cars Of established
makes still have the best Of the mar
ket. Considerable inquiry regarding
next years agencies is already report
ed-an unprecedented early agency de-
mand, in fact, is recorded.
The roads over which the grand prize
race will be run at Savannah is said TO
be the finest and speediest course ever
used for an automobile race. There
will be several straight stretches nearly
four miles in length
The cars will start in front Of the
g-andstand on Estill avenue about one
mile from the first turn and within the
city limits. After making a left turn on
10 the White Bluff road there is a
straight-away Of $500 feet. In the next
six miles there will be five turns. then
a stretch. practically straight, of 2O.6OO
feet. over the new road which is now
under construction. The next long
stretch is along Ferguson avenue, a
distance Of 1880 feet, then after sew
eral turns around the Isle OF Hope to
la Roche avenue. 1000 feet, a turn
follows around the village Of Thunder
bolt. into the home stretch which IS
1900 feet long. The total length of
the course IS 26.7S miles, and no steam
railroad track crosses the course at
any point. Where the trolley line crosses
the course, the tracks Will be bridged
over, and neither passengers or cars
cross.
Experts, who have examined the
course are loud in its praise, and state
that there is no other road in this coun-
try which is it's equal It is expected
that the road-beds will be IN perfect
