Dress and the Motor Car.
From the New York Times

From The New York Times
English tailors complain that the motor
car has made men careless in their dress
We had fancied that motoring had
greatly increased the revenues Of tho
tailors az the pastime demands special
clot hes But IL seems that the influence
of motoring has inclined men toward
comfort in dress rather than style.
Therefore the tailoring trade is depressed.
This IL new and grave charge against
the automobile. Already it had been ac
cused of injuring the theatrical business.
decreasing the sales of hooks and depriv-
ing summer hotels of their profits.
Wherefore, the motor car must be
destructive engine in many ways. We
are bound to accept expert testimony
until equally good testimony is offered
to diSprove it. If il could be proved
that the theatrical business in New York
and London is not quite SO profitable as
it used TO be because of overcompeti-
ton and excess of poor plays; II some
one could shCw that many books are not
bought because too many are published
and they are not all readable If we could
show that the summer resort business
had suffered because of the extravagaHt
prices charged we might he in position
partly to exonerate the motor car
But it is surely powerful lnnovator.
1t is bound to conduct men s minds, as
IL conducts their bodies, in new direc
tons 1t has its faults, but its merits
exceed them 1t has come to be develop
ed, to multiply and to stay. Trade and
society must adapt themselves to TIE
changed conditions it creates.

Attorney General Decides Purchase of
Memorial Building Site Is Regular.

People who are wondering why work
does not begin on the new Memorial
hall must possess their souls with pa
tience Governor Stubbs, head of the
building commission for the proposed
structure, said today that the founda-
tions for the new building would be
put in before the end of the year if he
has his way. He is in hopes that the
bids for the work. The building COM
mission will meet and pass on these
bids as soon as they are all in.
AS regards the delay in the state
making payment for the site for. the
Memorial building, the governor stated
that the title for the property had to
be Strengthened out and the alley va
Gated. The attorney general has just
placed his o. K on the papers and
they will be turned over to the auditor
this week If the latter official is salts
fed with them the state will turn over
the purchase price for the site at the
northeast corner of Tenth avenue and
Jackson street before the end of the
week.
The old stone building on this site
is owned by the city board of educa-
ton and it will be removed as soon as
the state acquires possession of the
property by making payment in full.

FOURTEEN KILLED.
Runaway. Car of Lumber Hits Pas
Senger Car.

Vancouver, B. c., Nov. 10-A runaway
car of lumber crashed into a crowded
passenger car on the British Columbia
Electric Railway company's interurban
line today. Fourteen persons were kill
ed, including the motorman and con-
ductor of the freight car, the passen-
gers being mostly workingmen bound
for the British Columbia Electric car
building shops in New Westminster.
Seven persons were injured and at least
two Of these will die.
Virtually every person in the paSSen-
ger car was killed injured.
The passenger car left the Vancouver
station just behind an electric freight
train consisting of a locomotive, box
car and fiat car laden with heavy tim
bers, so or 60 feet long and a foot thick.
Three miles out at the head of a
grade which the freight cars had just
as cended, the coupling of the lumber
car broke and it started back toward
the city. By this time the passenger
cGr, a quarter of mile behind, was
just leaving Lake View station, snort
distance beyond the city limits. When
the runaway car dashed into view, it's
speed must have been tremendous for
Motorman Thoburn had not time to
move. When the impact occurred the
heavy timbers of the fiat car slid for
ward snd ripped the passenger car
level with the floor. Not a silver was
left standing of the passenger car.

procedure in the courts of France

procedure in the courts of France.
This decision of the minister made
known today was influenced largely by
the criticism expressed in the United
States and England of the methods now
in vogue, through the operation os
which the presiding judge appears in
the role of prosecutor
M. Barthou has been much impressed
by this foreign comment and plans to
take from the president of the court
the function of 'interrogatoire' and
confide to the public prosecutor and the
counsel for the defense the task of ex-
amining the accused and the witnesses.
He would restrict the prerogatives of
the Judge to a practice more in keeping
with that of the courts of Anglo Saxon
countries. 1t is unlikely, however, that
any effort will be made to abolish the
general method of court procedure in
all Latin countries through. which the
examining magistrate in an exhaustive
preliminary investigation collects testi
mony often strictly admissible under
Anglo-Saxon rules of evidence, upon
which the state establishes its case
against the accused.
1t is the belief by many American
lawyers here that in civil cases which
are not tried before jury, the French
system permitting the Introduction of
indirect evidence and even the opinion
of witnesses, frequently enables the
Judge to arrive at a conclusion more
certainly just than does the practice of
similar courts in the United States and
England

Edward w. Wellington has been
connected with Masonry in Kansas for
many years. In this state he has
served as grand master of the grand
lodge of Kansas. Also grand high
priest of the grand chapter, grand
master of the grand council and grand
commander of the grand COM
mandery.
His new position, through the cleo
ton at Savannah brings Mr.. yelling
ton nearer the highest position in this
department of Masonry. There are
only two other offices in the Royal
and Select Masons which are above
this new position held by Edward
Wellington. These positions are in
line above Mr.. Wellington and as the
elections are held every two years it is
expected that the Kansan will hold
the highest Office at the election six
years hence.
He was elected general grand prin-
cipal conductor of the Royal and
Select Masons as an Advancement
from his former position of general
grand captain of the guard of the
general grand council of Royal and
Select Masons of United States of
America.

No Note of Disc0rd in Ratifica-
tiOn Of Agreement.
Nearly One Hundred Disputes to
Be Settled.

Memphis, Nov. 10.-The National AS
sociation of Minor Leagues held its
session today. The principal business
was the action on the ratification of
the agreement drawn up by Secretary
Thos. II. Farrell of the National as
sociation, and Frank Hermann, presi-
dent of the California State league,
concerning the admission of the form
er outlaw" league, which had been
approved by the national board of ar
bitration
AS that agreement stands now, it is
almost certain it will be ratified by the
National association.
The national board again went into
session, as it has nearly one hundred
cases to dispose of in a short time
Most of these cases are of minor i'm
portance.
A committee to look into the advisa-
bility of re-districting the territory of
certain leagues is to be appointed by
President M. H. Sexton today The
changing of the circuits of the Three L
league and Central association, the
Ohio. and Pennsylvania State and Cen
trail leagues, and American and West
ern associations is contemplated. but If
these changes are made they will prob
ably not go into effect until 1911.
A complete reclassification of the Ma
tiona1 association is expected, but no
definite action will be taken on that
subject until after the census of 1910 is
taken, as this classification depends
upon the population of the cities in
each league.
The draft of Pitcher Allen of the
Seattle Northwest league club by Meni-
phis has been allowed. Allen was the
leading pitcher of the Northwest league
for last season. To replace Allen
Pitcher Hendrix from the Topeka
Western league club.
