The Auto obiIe Law of Massa'
ChuSettS

Jan. ! the State of Massachusetts will
begin the regulation of motor vehicles
under new law which is perhaps more
carefully drawn than that of any other
State and may be worth New York S
attention.
Such vehicles are to be under control
of State commission to which the po-
lice report. The fees are 81 for each
operator or chauffeur's license, 81 for
registering a motor cycle and S. to S25
for automobiles according to horse
power. These fees do not take the
place of ordinary taxation, and their
revenue is applied to road-making.
Nonresident automobilists have ten
days of courtesy privilege
municipalities are furnished by the
commission and must be Illuminated at
night. Automobiles of more than ten
horsepower must have two brakes.
each sufficient. When left standing all
automobiles must be locked or have
their brakes set, so that meddlers can
not start them A common abuse in
New York is provided for in that the
engines of standing machines must be
stopped,
No one under eighteen may be licensed
to run motor vehicle. The papers
must be carried by the chauffeur or OPP
orator at all times. They bear his sig
nature, which police officers may re-
quire him to write. He must stop his
motor for frightened horses or for per-
sons alighting from street cars. Three
convictions revoke license, but the
commission may suspend or revoke IL
censes at discretion. To race on the
highway, or to run an automobile reck-
lessly or to attempt to escape after
injuring person means maximum
fine of 5000 and six months in Jail. A
man who is twice caught running an
automobile while under the influence of
liquor may be sent to Jail for not less
than one year nor more than two, even
if no accident comes of his indulgence.

HIT BY SPEEDING AUTO.
Police Search for Machine That
Ran Down William Reardon.

The Brooklyn police are hunting for a
clue to the identity of an automobile
driver who late on Saturday night ran
down and probably fatally injured Will
liam Reardon. After bowling Reardon
over, the motorist put on more speed
and escaped.
Reardon is suffering from severe in
juries of the head, a fractured rib, and
a broken wrist, and is also injured in
ternally. 1t is feared that he will die.
Reardon was attempting to cross Lv-
ingston Street, when he was struck by
a big car travelling west at high speed.
He was hurled about twenty feet, and
when he was able to get up the automo-
bile had disappeared. Soon after mid
night he appeared at his home, a con-
siderable distance from the scene of
the accident, and fell in faint He
was unable TO tell how he managed to
get home. 1t is thought, however, that
he dragged himself home. A neighbor-
ing physician was called in and Rear
don's injuries attended to. At that
time he declined to go to hospital, but
last night his condition became such
that the doctor insisted upon his re-
moval to the Cumberland Street Hos
pital.
Livingston Street has been the scene.
of many such automobile accidents.
About year ago man and a woman
who were crossing ELECTROMAGNETIC to-
gether were run down by machine,
the man being killed and the woman so
injured that she became insane, and is
now in an asylum. The man who drove
this machine escaped with his car. -

The Latest Outrage.

Police Commissioner Bakers indig-
nant words concerning the latest auto
mobile outrage ought to waken an echo
in the breast of every citizen. Mr.
Baker wonders that there are not mass
meetings of protest at the recklessness
of automobilists in this city and the
consequent slaughter. The public pa
tience or Indifference is astonishing,
With twenty or thirty persons killed
every month in this city, and incidents
of peculiar atrocity like that of Tuesday
occurring at frequent intervals, the pub
lie maintains singular equanimity
If the people were sufficiently aroused
much might be done to make punish
ment more severe and frequent. The
magistrates courts might be jolted out
of their mechanical habit of inficting
petty, negligible fines. The problem of
putting these powerful machines in safe
hands might be attacked effectively.
The Police Commissioner is quoted as
saying that the chauffeurs resort to
drugs and excessive smoking and drink
ing to counterfeit the nervous strain of
their work. However this may be it is
a matter of common knowledge that a
large proportion of the automobiles run
by professional drivers are in unfit
hands. A proper licensing system, with
proper penalties for infraction of speed
laws properly enforced, would weed out
the drunken, immature and irresponsi-
bic who now operate machines of great
power, speed and deadiness through our
crowded streets. Illuminated numbers
on the machines might, as Mr. Baker
says, aid in catching the speeders at
night.
Probably it is too much to expect the
public to take sufficiently continuous in
terest in this problem to rectify the
abuses. death every twenty-four
hours from this cause it appears to re
gard as all in the day S work of a great
city But even to a public which has
become hardened to these casualties the
fiendish character of Tuesdays drag
ging of the victim through the streets
and cowardly flight must seem shocking
for few days at any rate. New York

The Worlds Lost Forests

1t is in cutting down and burning for
ests of large trees that man has done
the most harm to himself and the other
living occupants of many regions of the
earth 'sssurface. We can trace these
evil results from more recent examples
back into the remote past. The water
supply of the town of Plymouth was as
sured by Drake, who brought water n
a CHANNEL from Dartmoor But the
cutting down of the trees has now rem
dered the great wet sponge from which
the water was drawn all the year no
longer assponge. 1t no longer "holds"
the water of the rainfall, but in conse-
quence of the removal of the forest and
the digging of bitches the water quick
ly runs off the moor and the whole
countryside suffers from drought
This sort of thing has occurred wher-
ever man has been sufficiently civilized
and enterprising to commit the folly of
destroying forests. Forests have an
immense effect on climate, causing hu-
Nudity, and similarly causing moderate
and persistent instead of torrentiaI
streams. Spain has been irretrievably
injured by the cutting down of her for
ests in the course of few hundred
years. The same thing is going on to
a disasterous extent in parts of the
United States. Whole provinces of the
Thibetan borders of China have been
converted into uninhabtable, sandy
desert, which centuries ago were fer
tile and weil-watered and supported
rich cities, apparently in consequence of
the reckless destruction of forest.
In fact whether it is due to man i'm
provldent action or to natural climatic
changes, it appears that the formation
of desert is due in the first place to
the destruction of forest. the conse-
quent formation of d barren. sandy area
and the subsequent spreading of what
we may'call disease or desert ulcer
by the blowing Of the fatally exposed
sand andithe gradual extension by the
action of the sand itself of the area of
destroyed vegetation. Sand-deserts
are not, as used to be supposed, sea
bottoms from which the water has re
treated, but areas of destruction of
vegetation often Though not always)
both in Central Asia and in North Africa
Egypt. &c.), started by the deliberate
destruction of forest by man, eithe by
artificial drainage starving the forest
or by simple use of the axe or fire.

CAR DRAGS GIRL.
Driver Goes On in Effort to Shake
Off Victim.
DRESS RIPS, SHE ROLLS INTO GUTTER
UNCONSCIOUS.
Terribly Injured She is Not Expecte
to Live-Chauffeur Escapes His
Pursuers.

As Miss Alice Mohen of New York
left the subway station at One Hundred
and Thirty-seventh street and Broad
way about O'Clock last evening she
looked cautiously up and down the
street, then raised her umbrella and
started across the thoroughfare She
did not hear the warning toot of an
approaching automobile or the cries of
persons on the curb until too late, and
the motor car struck and mortally in
lured her.
The car bore down on the girl at the
rate of twenty miles an hour. Its only
occupants We're the chauffeur and
another man on the front seat with him.
Within twenty feet of Miss Mohen,
the chauffeur blew his horn With a
shrek the girl swung the umbrella over
her head. The speeding car was then
not more than yard from her. Rails
ing her arm as though to ward off an
impending blow, she tried to step to one
side.
DRAGGED ALONG THE STREET.
The left front wheel struck her, dash
ing her to the roadway. She uttered a
cry of terror as she fell The revolving
wheel caught her skirt and entangled it

in the mud guard.
Screaming the girl was dragged
along, followed by score of men shout
ing to the chauffeur The man at the
drivers side looked back at the crowd,
then leaned toward his companion and
the machine jumped ahead. In an eff
fort to shake off the shrieking girl the
chauffeur suddenly stopped his car, then
started it ahead again. The girl was
still being dragged but she was silent.
Grown desperate the driver 'snake ed"
the front wheels, turning swiftly from
one side of the street to the other 1t
was all to no purpose. The skirt still
held Miss Mohen and pulled her along.
AS last resort the chauffeur ran his
machine diagonally across broadway in
short violent jumps. With the added
strain thus put upon it Miss Mohen 5
dress parted. As she rolled into the
gutter the chauffeur threw in the third
speed and dashed away at the rate of
fifty miles an hour, several persons said.
DR.. Chambers Sangree picked up the
unconscious Miss Mohen and carried her
to the Montiore Home. There the
physician found that she had conclusion
of the brain, deep scalp wound and in
ternal injuries. She was a mass of
bruises from head to foot and her gar
ments were practically torn off.
Inspector Titus, the police got an ac-
curate description of the car that ran
down Miss Mohen, and they began a
search of all garages in that section in
the hope of finding it. A description of
the machine was also sent to all other
police stations in the borough. New

Taxing Autos.

It's constitutional in New Jersey to
tax automobiles according to their
power instead of value, The state SUI
preme court has just rendered a de-
cision upholding the law. 1t was con-
tested because it included automobiles
conveying merchandise, and so was
claimed to be an interference with in
terstate commerce and also as double
taxation. The New Jersey court holds
the law to be within the proper police
powers of the state as against dan.
gerous and Notwithstanding use of the
highways, to which the court declares
the automobile has no inherent right. -

The Morgan and the Auto,

We have highway commissioner who
understands his business. The Middle
bury Register is kicking because he is
building good enough roads SO automo-
biles enjoy them. Too bad the Morgan
has to divide his God-given right to the
earth with mere machine - Bradford
Opinion.
Of course the Morgan was here be-
fore the auto, and he has lots of friends
who will not look on patiently while he
is crowded off the road by mere ma
chine. The Morgan doesn't get tired
as frequently as the auto does, and he
and he is ''stayer" in sense very
different from that in which the auto so
often stays" The Morgan really has
lot of advantages which can never be
claimed for the auto. He eats hay and
grain instead of gasoline and machine
oil, and his food agrees with him. H
will "break" occasionally, but not as an
auto brakes. He has genuine eyes in
stead of goggles, and has no trouble in
ledulhS lhe sPeeu warnings vi the OUT
skirts of the village. He sends back to
you over the ribbons a thrill of life and
pleasure that the four-cylinder combi-
nation on the front end of an auto can
not furnish, and he carries you along in
way that enables you to keep your
seat something you cannot always do

which included the father, mother and
five children. About noon the taxicah
was struck by a ninety horse power
touring car owned by S. H. Valentine
and driven by the chauffeur, which was
going at good clip. The blow had
such force that the taxicab was slowed
clear around and sent hustling west

second later it dashed into a fire hy-
drant about ten feet from the south vest
corner of Park avenue.
simultaneously with the crash came
loud cries from within the taxi. Arnold
was catapulted through the front glass
and out upon the sidewalk. His mother
came flying after him, still holding on
to the baby. Right on top of them
came Drummer with two-year-old Dor

seat, landing on his face after describ-
