MOTORISTS BEWARE
MAYOR WRITES LETTER TO CHIEF
 TAYLOR.
Cautions Head of Police Department in Reference to Violations of Speed Ordinances and Num-
 berang of Autos.

Let the motorists of Montgomery who delight in speedy swirling through space beware of the omcer with the bule clothes and brass but tons.
 Mayor Teague yesterday addressed to " H. Taylor. chief of police. a letter couched In terms calculated 70 cause trouble for the so inclined Ae- tention was called to frequent wiiltul violations of the law regulating the speed of automobiles and the catex was directed to impress upon all mem bers of the police force the importance of seeing that the provisions of Inc ordinance were executed.
 Several months ago q number or automobile owners were arrested within q few days for violations of the law but since that time only q small number of cases of that nature have been doclxeted on the police book.
 Following Is the letter of Mayor Teague:
 Captain W. H. Taylor.
 Chief of Police,
 Montgomery, Ala.
 Dear Sir:
 Attention Is again called to the will full and constant violation of the law regulating the speed ct which suto- mO1llG0 may DO ufANOA WltuAn Gfl9 ClLyl both by livery machines and by citi- gems.
 Unauestionably fatal results will come from the reckless driving through our streets, unless a rigid enforcement of the speed law Is brought to bear upon the situation immediately. and in order that the lives of those of our citizens who walk upon our thoroughfares may be protected, and a safeguard thrown around them, you are hereby instguct- ed to enforce rigtdly the law govern ing the speed of automobiles.
 Instruct each and every man in your department that 1t is the purpose of the city government to see that this reckless driving is abated and that they will be expected to do their whole duty in this respect. The situ- ation has grown to be serious. and now that the. better judgment of au- tomobile drivers has been repeatedly appealed to without heed on their parts, more drastic measures must be adopted to bring them within the law. Tn this connection I would also bring to your attention the fact that num- Der of the machines are being operat- ed on the streets of the city without being properly numbered. See that every machine is numbered with the numbers furnished by the city. and, in case of the absence Of these reGul9- ton numbers. the drivers must be arrested.
 If it is the sense of the general pub lie that the speed limit now In force in unjust, then their objections should he brought before the city council of Montgomery. which body alone can remedy the situation, and they most assuredly should not be permitted to make the law to suit themselves.
 Give this matter your early atten- ton and keep 1t before your men at all times, not allowing the law 10 elapse, for 1t is my purpose to exert every effort at my command to see that this law is strictly obeqed.
 Yours very truly, W. M. Teague. Mayor.

 Oklahoma Town.

Oklahoma Town.
 Fort Smith, Ark, Aug. 20.-A des- patch from Keota. Oklahoma, tells Of a four-handed fight in a blacksmith shop at that place late today in which two of the participants. Sam Shores, ST.. and Sidney Stockton received wounds which will probably terminate in their death. and the others. sam Shores, IT,. and Boss Lafler, were bad ly wounded. The weapons used were heavy sledges and hammers.
 The fight originated during the trial of a civil suit before a justice of the peace, whose court room is on floor above the blacksmith shop and in which Shores and Stockton were the principals.
 After fighting their way down the stairway and into the shop they were joined by Laf1er and the younger Shores. Then for ten minutes the fight waged, several times the men being knocked to the floor by blows from the sledge and for the larger part of the time the elder men fought after each had suffered a broken arm.
 Although several hundred spectators gathered they were powerless to end the fight until the men were ex- haustad.

He then dwelt with statistics showing that there were only 150, 900 miles of macadam roads in the United States. The Congressman went on to prove that the expenditure for good roads would find It's return in cheaper agricultural products in that the farmer could haul his product to market on a saving of at least 1s cents A mile per ton.

Lloyd George is to study social and political institu- tions. The minister, the statement counties bears no authorization from the British cabinet to make proposals relative to naval armaments or to hold any verbal negotiations on this subject; but were anything of this nature suggested from the German side, he would enter the discussion willingly. Mir. Spender, at another point in his conversation with the representative of The Tageblatt. said MT.

London. Aug. 2O.-The return this morning of Prime Minister Asquith from Scotland. where he had been taking a holiday. and his lengthy con- ference with Sir Edward Grey, are being connected in some quarters with developments arising out of the recent meeing of King Edward with Emperor William and Emperor Francis Joseph. So far as known, however, nothing occurred at these royal conferences that is likely to have such immediate political consequences as to have nec- essitated this urgency meeting of the British ministry. It is much more probable that Asquith was obliged to interrupt his holiday for the purpose of paclfying Sir Edward, who, 1t is known, keenIy resents the raids of Winston Churchill, President of the Board of Trade, and David Lloyd George, Chancellor of the Exchequer, into the sphere of the Foreign office.

AsQuith on this suo1ect Whlch are said to have amounted practically to an ultimatum that brought the Elm peror to London. The Foreign Sec retary is firmly opposed to the social reform program at the expense of the army and navy, which some of his col- leagues are necessarily advocating. The incursion of those latter into the sphere of foreign affairs which Sir Edward regard as an unJustifiable interference in matters belong exclu- sively to the Foreign of1ce. has brought the friction to a climax and 1t Is anticipated that his protest will re- suit in a hint being given to those ministers to confne themselves more closely to their own departments.

BONNIE AND HOLMES
GATHER MUCH DATA

When Burton Holmes and r. K. Bo-
nine get together with a moving pic
ture machine there is bound to be
something doing. Holmes has travelled
all over the world; so has BONNIE, and
their business is to bring every sec
ton of the universe to the door of the
men and women of other parts OF the
earth.
Both make pictures and Holmes tells
about the country he has gone through.
If the people of Honolulu could get
them together on the same platform
BONNIE with his perfect pictures and
Holmes with f1uency of speech to tell
of the things he has seen, they would
have the treat of their lives. But two
such good men do not meet in public
at the same time, often.
BONNIE is making pictures of what
he sees here and he will show them
on the screen before he goes away.
He is going down among the treas
ures of his boxes and bringing to light
such pictures as he believes will please
the eye of a critical Honolulu public
and he will throw them on the screen
next Thursday night at the Opera
House. The tickets for the entertain
ment are on sale at Wall, Nichols at
%. 80 and 70 cents. The show will be
worth more than the highest price
charged.
