AS ABLE EXECUTIVE
New Public Printer Expect
ed to Complete Reforms
Now Under Way.

While there are many employees OF the
Government Printing office who are dis
posed TO comment upon President
Rooseyelt's removal of Public Printer
John S. Leech. following 50 closely upon
his appointment to that position, it is
believed that Ia S. B. DOnnelly, the New
Yorker who is to succeed Mr.. Leech,
the President has selected a man who
can handle the big problems OF the big
gest print shop in the world.
Mr. DOnnelIy, while he may meet with
some opposition among certain employees
because of friendIiness to Mr.. Leech or
even to former Public Printer Charles
A Stillings, viii, nevertheless, il is be-
lieved, not encounter SO much opposition
as did Mr.. Leech.
Mr.. Donneuy, too, viii come TO the
printing office under conditions which
are much better than were those when
Mr.. LeeCh came here last June
After William 5. Rossiter, the Presi-
dents special investigator, had Probed

Onice problems, and after that repoi
had been submitted and digesteds Mr..
Leech. the successor OF Stillings and the
man who could profit most by the
prober's work, had some of his antici-
pated worries much lghtened.

had some enemies took up many mat
tiers which still needed attention and by
had work effected much good.
Mr. DOnnelly, a man of much expert
enCe, with the backing of the incoming
administration, il seems assured VIII not
be forced to encounter either the prob
lens or the unfriendliness which so
bothered the outgoing Public Printer,

TO LICENSE
 AUTOMOBILES
| Warming Increase in Number of Acci. dents Due to Reckless Driving 0f Automobiles Will Probably Lead to Remedial Legislation.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-First Assistant Corporation Counsel Emil c. Wotten announced yesterday that alarmed by the increasing number of automobile accidents the next legislature will be asked to enact la \ compelling class ification of the various kinds of ma- chimes, the licensing of all drivers and possibly barring from the city streets those cars whose high power makes possible speed far in excess of the citys regulations
 Casual examination <of the reports of motor car accidents seems to show that many of them occur when ma- chimes are driven by young persons or by women,' he explained.
 At present there is no way of pre- venting this and no way of making sure that anyone has the capabiIity and experience necessary to handle a large machine.
 "A law will be passed which will allow man to drive his machine if he knows enough about 1t, but which will prevent his children from taking turns and imperiling the lives of pe- destrians. Every season makes such law more necessary because every sea- son brings into the market cars with more complicated mechanism"

How They Stand.

Ten fast innings Friday afternoon the Pine Knots battled with the husky pennant chasers from the Vapor City, finally going down ill defeat , to l. Pine Bluff got a rather mellow deal on several occasions from his umpS Jehl. but at that Jehl is big im provement on some of the umpiring at Forest Park. Besse, the heavy swatter who taught Met Galligher the fence ball." slammed the horsehide at will making four safe hits, one three sacker, out of five times up. Twice Besse lifted the sphere over right field fence, feat that has net been performed this season, and the fans breathed a sigh of relief when the ball curved out into foul territory Harry Clayton was back in his old position at short, and put ginger into the entire game, pulling off several fast scoops. Hot Springs played an ! errorless game in the field, the infield pulling off several seemingly impos sjble plays. It was one, two, three for each team till the third inning, when Hot Springs put one runner across home plate. Wallace grounded out, Ware to Jolly, followed by Wright, who singled to left and reached sec ond on Coyle's drive to the left gar lien. Blakeley famed the air three times and Besse bingles between first and second, scoring Wright. Naylor retired the side with a pop up to Clay ton. Nothing but goose eggs appear ed until the sixth, when Pine Bluff tied the score. Ollie singled to left, driving one too hot to handle and reached second on Berry's sacrifice Ware pops out to third, followed by Dawkins, who singles to left and Ol- lie romped home Jolly retired the side with an easy out, second to first Three more innings passed and neither team scored and the tenth in- ming started with Pine Bluff appar- ently about to rally. Coyle reached first on Jolly's error and went to sec ond on Blakeley's sacrifice Besse slammed hot one to right and Coyle crossed the plate with the winning run For Pine Bluff Lewis led off with a pop to third. Taylor hit through second, but is caught stealing second Clayton ended the agony with an easy out, Wright to first Score 2 to ].

 Mr. Cook was here in the capacity of membership secretary two years and he left here, having worked up the membership to about 1900, afte. which he was offered position ln Roanoke, Virginia, to do special mem. His congenial disposition, love for mankind in general, and strong ac- tive desire to do good to all concerned, have won for him the esteem of all until the different Young Mems Christian Associations all over the country are now looking forward with great expectancy to the time when they can get him to do specia, mem- lcrship work for their associations ssDd as a consequence he is always occupied in this capacity in the many different fileds of the United States.
 At present he is around town s1cat- ing his old friends, who are always pleased to see and know him again. Among the force of the local Y. " C. A. ,1r. Cook is a special favorite acd all vie with each other ta help h;,1 better all conditions for the benefit of ,he public.
 We are trying to regulate tn9 toys usiaa the swimming pool, in 3.d 5r tu give the senior members some bal- ter advantages than they have had here tofore.

WOMAN LOST
 IN BOTTOMS
Mrs. Saunders, Aged 54 Years. Wan. dered Away From Home Last Sum day and Since Then Several Par. ties Have Been Searching in Vain for Her.

Saratoga, Aug. 21.-Last Sunday af- ternoon a Mrs. Saunders, 54 years old living near Schaal, in Howard county, wandered away from her home into Saline river bottom and has been lost to her friends since. The news spread and many men joined in the search and up to this time nothing has been heard definitely of her fate or where aheuts.
 It is supposed the unfortunate wo- man is insane, as she has been act ing strangely at times, and once be- fore wandered off into Mine Creek bottom. Several men from this place have joined in the search and fears are entertained that the woman has fallen either into the. Beard's lake or Mine creek.
