TO GOVERN AUTOMOBILES.
They May Be Forbidden To Pass
Close to Standing Car.

Close TO SLauO1uS OdI.
The death of one man and the injury
Of another through similar accidents has
caused William ]. Swiggett of 1916 S
street to suggest to the Commissioners
a regulation compelling automobiles to
stop, II they cannot pass a standing
street car from which passengers are
alighting, at a greater distance than six
feet
Mai. Sylvester. to whom the letter was
referred, declares that the regulation
would be an excellent one. The Commits
sioners have the proposed regulation I'M

TT has come to my knowledge" says
Mr. Swiggett in his letter. that two
clerks In the bureau of pensions have
been run down by automobiles while
alighting from street cars. One OF them
was killed, the other, who worked under
my supervision. was badly hurt. 1 have
no knowledge how many more accidents
of this character have occurred. but
imagine there are many.
IF it is not considered presumptuous
in me, I would suggest that a regula-
ton be adopted by your honorable body
preventing automobiles passing a street
within six feet Of a car while the car Is
standing still. If there Is not sufficient
distance from the car to the curb to al
low six feet between the car and automo
bile. then let the automobile come to 9
stop until the car starts"
Il consider this suggestion a good one. "
Police Chief Sylvester has reported. 1.-The
department has at times had under con-
sideration a recommendation to the eff
feet that when a street car stops at q
same or in a contrary direction shall ir
all cases come to a stop when there Is q
possibility of overtaking a passenger
aNShting from or boarding said car"

bit by bit they saw peoples wants in

then the city folks began swarming out
Of town and building homes along the

into the country. and grew loyal to their
new homes and traded with the local
stores. The upshot Is that the trolley has
helped all village tradesmen except the
clothiers."

brought the farmer in touch with the

THAw EAGER TO TESTIFY.
DR.. Evans Declares His Belief That
Prisoner is Now Sane

WHITE PLAINS, n. Y, July o7.--
There was small prospect that Harry
K. Thaw would reach the stand at to-
days session. When the supreme court
resumed its hearings this morning on
his application for release from the
Matteawan Criminal Insane Asylum DR..
Britton d. Evans, who declared yester-
day that Thaw was not and never had
been a paranoiac, continued his testi-
mony today and his cross-examination
by District Attorney Jerome was ex-
pected to be long and searching. DR..
Isham d. Harris of the Hudson River
State Hospital for the Insane at Pough-
keepsie came into court with the ThaW
party and said he expected to follow
Dr. Evans on the stand. ThaW is eager
to testify. He entered the courtroom
today looking unusually buoyant
''In my opinion Mr.. Thaw is now sane.
were almost the first words spoken by
DIR. Evans when he took the stand today.
HAS Harry X. Thaw any delusions or
haIlucinations at this timer" asked
Charles Morschauser. Thaws attorney.
He has not" replied DIR. Evans.
In cross-examination Mr.. Jerome quot
ed authorities that symptoms of the dis
ease might. be concealed for intervals of
months. He reminded DR.. Evans that In
his former testimony he had declared
Thaw insane a year before he killed
White The experts answer to this was
that information given by Thaw had
caused him to modify his opinion.

kEEFE TO GET nAGEl'S IDEAS
IMMIGRATION MATTERS TO BE
DISCUSSED.
Desirable and Undesirable Aliens to
Be Defined by Secretary Of
Commerce and Labor.

AS an important preliminary toward
putting his house in order. Secretary
NaSel of the Department of Commerce
and Labor is to have an important con-
ference this afternoon with Commissioner
General Daniel ]. keefe Of the immigra-
ton service. touching the administration
Of that service.
Commissioner General Keefe has just
returned from an extended tour of the
western country. where he went for the
purpose of investigation and of familiar
izing himself with conditions and the men
In his branch OF the service who have to
deal with them.
In his absence the Secretary himself has
twice at least taken occasion to impress
his own views upon the service. Secre-
tary Nagel has ideas of his own with
in dealing with aliens, not only those who
are desirable, but those who are unde-
sirable.
These are doubtless some of the mat
tiers that will be taken up with the COM
missioner general at the conference this
afternoon.
Certain remarks made in public touch
ing the establishment Of the new immi-
grant station at New Orleans. for which
Congress appropriated $4,000 about a
Commissioners General Keefe's friends
say that any indiscretion on his part
or undue zeal in considering the labor
interest end of questions that come be-
fore him are the result OF his mex
perience: but that he is eminently fair
in all his actions and that he shows q
breadth of grasp that is remarkable.
Secretary Nagel. however, 1t Is said
does not propose to take any chances:
but means to have the future policy of
the department clearly laid down and
understood. The Secretary is said to be
untainted with the big stick heresy''
in any respect, but is a sound lawyer
and conservative In his administration
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor.
The retirement OF Assistant Secretary
McHarg in the near future will bring
the Secretary to another step in the re-
organization of his department. When
Mr.. McHarg entered the department 1t
was with the understanding that he would
retire the coming fall.
The time of such retirement is placed
between the 1st Of October and the LIST
of November Mr.. McHarg himself de-
clines to talk Of his retirement. but says
he will remain, keeping his original in
tention in view, as long as Secretary Ma
gel needs him.
No names have yet been advanced as
his possible successor. but within the
past few days rumor is connecting that
of the present chief clerk Of the depart
ment, Theodore l.. Weed. with the posi-
ton. The Secretary Is known to admire
MIR. Weeds ability and his quiet and eff
fective way of doing things.
There are those in the department who
express belief that when the time comes
he will be named as the new assistant
secretary of the Department of Commerce
and Labor.

A "Mite."
From the London Chronicle.


The difficulties experienced by our fore
fathers in trying to reckon money In very
small proportions appear in the various
values given to mite" In the sixteenth
and seventeenth century books of COM
merciaI arithmetic. The original mite
seems to have been q third OF a Flemish
penny. but the use OF the word for the
widows coin of the New Testament made
it's regular English meaning half far
thing. and some old people may remember
applying the name to the short-lived
nineteenth century coins of that value.
In those old arithmetic books mite
stands for various values not represented
by actual coins. but obviously used In
reckoning. "A work Of 17O8 makes 1t one
twelfth OF a penny. two sixteenth century
books one-sixth OF a farthing, and In
1874 Jeakes arithmetic made 1t az little
as one sixty-fourth OF a penny.

when the American hostess in London
was a rara avis but with the strong So

now become an integral part Of London
society. The annual influx of America s
beautiful women from the United States
