the December American Magazine an
article devoted to Mr.. Kelley and to
his work. He says:
"The morning after the Iroquois

Nothing there but names. Names Of

before getting to even the start Of the
narrative Of the event. He alone had
gone straight through all the clutch.

retained the true human feeling that
after the first thing people would want
to know would be not 'Hop did they

gets from his secretary the summary

Burlington States Attorney Writes
Secretary Of State Bailey in Re-
gard 10 AntOmOhilisf,s License.

States Attorney II. B. Shaw has
written Secretary of State Guy W.
Bailey, recommending the Withhold
ing of an operators automobile Ii
cense from Albert T. Henderson of
Burlington. A hearing on the ques-
ton of granting the license is set
for a future day. Mr.. Shaws letter
reads as follows:
Dear Sir:-I am informed by the
Encouragement that Albert 7.
Henderson of this city Burlington
has applied to you for an operators
automobile license for this year In
this connection, I would call your
attention to the fact that Mr.. Hen
derson was operating the car last
December. in this city, which met
with a serious accident which re-
suited in the death of A. J. Taylor.
That one of the causes of his acct
dent was excessive speed there can
be no doubt Mr. Taylor's death was
the second fatal automobile accident
due to excessive speed in this city,
last year and it might be whole
some lesson to automobilists of the
community if Mr. Henderson should
fail to obtain license this year.
Mr. Ed. Laury was operating a car
which was wrecked on North Aven-
lie in 1908 and in this accident, Rob-
ert Clarke was killed. The above
reasoning would apply to Mr.. Laury
if he applies for an operators IL
cense this year."
