SENATORS RESENT
 PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
DO NOT LIKE TONE IN WHICH HE REFUSES A REQUEST
 FOR INFORMATION.
Special from United Press. )

,(SpCCldI from CUlCeu HFeSS.)
 Washington, Jan. 7.-President Roose- velt's declaration to the Senate that it is not within the authority of that body to give directions to the head of an executive department or to demand from him the reasons for his action, will probably stir up heated debate There is considerable indignat on among Senators over the Pres dents message of yesterday but it is rather on account of it's tone than because of the point he makes.
 The question as to whether or not the Senate should demand" or ''re- quest the head of @ department for action has been discussed by practical ly every constitutional lawyer who has been in position to express an .opin- iOE. It has always been held that the proper form is to request the desired information.
 Some Senators, especially Teller of Colorado, assert that a cabinet officer is a creature of Congress and that Con- gress has a right to direct him. As to the question whether the President was right in refusing to prosecute the steel trust because of it's acquisition of the Tennesse Coal & Coke Company there will also be difference of opinion. A course of action has not yet been determined on.

WARNING
 TO AUTOISTS Supreme Court Decision in Case oflrwin Ys. Judge.- Opinion
 by Judge Hall.
How Autoists Should Drive in City Streets-Rules Applic- able to Teams and Trolleys not Strict Enough for Autos Burden Of Caution On AutOiStS.
Autoists.

Hartford, Jan. 7.-The supreme cour, It was in the case of Annie Irwin
 against Franklin Judge, an action for personal injury caused by the defend ants alleged negligence, brought tc the court of common pleas of Fairfield county and tried to a jury. The yer.
 dict and Judgment was for the plain tiff to recover $500 damages, and a motion to set aside the verdict was denied. The defendant appealed and the supreme court finds no error. Miss Irwin was injured August i, 1906, in South Norwalk and was about 16 years bicycle and the auto struck her when it was on the wrong side of the road and going fast.
 The opinion is by Judge Hall. Tn it the court says:-
 ''Tc persons riding along or crossing our public roads. and especially our city streets, the rapidly moving auto- mobile is source of constant danger Their great weight and speed power
 and resulting momentum render the consequences of collision with them much more serious than with ordin- arJ carriages even moving at a high CT rate of speed. and it is much more difficult to avoid. and much more con- fusing to attempt to avoid, the rapidly
 moving automobile than the street railway car. which has fixed and known direction and course upon it's tra cks.
 While owners of automobiles have the right to drive them upon public streets. yet the proper protection of the, equal rights of all to use the highways necessarily requires the adoption of different regulations for the different methods of such use; and what may be safe rate of speed at which to ride bicycle or drive horse may be an unreaSOnably rapid rate at which to drive an automobile in the same place. For the reasons stated and others which might be given driving of an automobile at 8 high rate of speed through city streets at times when and places where other vehicles are constantly passing and men, wom- en and children are liable to be cross Ing; around corners at the intersection of streets; or in passing street cars from which passengers have just a1igkted. or may be about to alight; or in other similar places and situations where people are liable to fail to ob- serve an approaching automobile, is in itself actionable negligence. One oper- >ating an automobile under such cir cumstances is bound to take notice of the peculiar danger of collisions in such places. He cannot secure i'm munity from liability by merely sound ing his automobile horn. He must run his car only at such speed as will en- able him to timely stop it to avoid col- lisions. If he fails to do so, he is re- sponsible for the damage he thereby causes'
