To
RESCUE SPEEDERS
Association Formed to Bail Out
AutoistS Arrested for
Fast Driving

CHICAGO. Sept. 9.JWealthy motor
lists occupying dark and dismal cells in
Chicago police stations because in their
enjoyment of the high power of their
automobiles they failed to remember
that the city sets speed limit, will
be a thing of the past as sooE as the
United Protective Agencies corporation
gets to going right.
The corporation has other objects
than rescuing Speeders from the
clutches of the constabulary, but that's
the main idea. Chief of Police Steward
says he thinks the proposition is all
right, not because he has any sym
pathy with the speed maniacs, but be-
cause he believes the move will put a
lot of 'shyster lawyers" and ''profes-
sional bondsmen" into better, if not
more lucrative, occupations, and he
says he will render it all the aid he
can.
EACH CLIENT IT'S AGENT
Briefly stated, the company purposes
to furnish bonds FOR auto owners who
may be arrested tor speeding. 1t has
evolved a novel idea for preventing
trouble and delay in arranging the
bonds. 1t will do this by making each
client of the company its agent and
allowing him to affiX the company's
name to his own bond.
Any autoist who knows deep down
in his inner consciousness, that he
sometimes exceeds the speed limit, and
that by that same token he may some
time, late at night, be explaining to an
unsympathetic desk sergeant that he
has to get home, with the sergeant
taking more interest in the nearby
pinochle game than in his oratory,
may become a client of the protective
association by paying a moderate fee.
He then becomes an agent also.
When he's ''pinched," as is bound to
occur in due time. he will accompany
the policeman to the station. There he
will produce a neatly engraved power
of attorney from the company, and also
an Identification card, with a facsimile
of his signature. He will sign what
ever bond the sergeant demands, using
the company's name by virtue of his
power of attorney, and then will go on
his way rejoicing-or feeling better,
anyway.
LAWYER ATTENDS TO ALL
The next morning the company's
lawyer will appear in court, fight the
case and arrange to pay whatever fine
is imposed, while the client attends
to his business affairs after a good
nights sleep in his own domicile, in
stead of having had to struggle for
narrow bench in a police station among
horde of the great unwashed."
The company will maintain agents in
all other counties in Illinois, so that
when a man is arrested in Elgin, Wau-
kegan, Aurora, Oak Park, haywood or
Evanston, as the case may be, he can
make the same arrangements. 1t also
will send autos and repair men out
to render first aid to injured automo-
biles and, if necessary, tow them home.
Its a good idea," said Chief Stew
ard. ut may put a lot of these shy
ster lawyers out of business, and that
is why 1 am for it. The company asks
me to bulletin the proposition in the
police stations, so there will be no
trouble about it, and' I'm going to do
it,"
Tom Murray is president of the COM
pany and B. j. Coens is vice presi-
dent.

CABINET MEMBERS WONDER
AT ALASKA HORTICULTURE

Fairbanks, Aug. 15.-Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham and Secretary Of
Commerce and Labor Nagel sailed
down the Yukon yesterday for Nome
and st. Michael, where they will re-
embark on the fish commission steam
er Albatross and start southwark for
Seattle. From Fairbanks they were
accompanied by Gov. Walter E. Clark.
The visit of the cabinet officers in
Fairbanks was made gala occasion
by the people of the Tanana valley.
A reception, attended by 1900 people,
was held in the skating rink. The big
hall had been decorated for the occa-
sion, elaborate displays of mineral,
horticultural and floral products hav.
ing been arranged to show the visitors
from Washington the possibilities of
inland Alaska.
Mr.. Wickersham and Mr.. Nagel ex-
pressed great surprise at the display.
They said they were particularly un-
prepared for the horticultural and
floral exhibit, the latter especially be-
ing most beautiful.
During their stay in Fairbanks the
two cabinet members and Gov. Clark
were taken on a fOrty-mile automobile
tour of the producing creeks in the
country tributary to Fairbanks. While
on this tour they witnessed $4,000

COMMERCIAL
DlRECTORY-BYU UNCLE SAM

Washington, Aug. 16.-The bureau of
manufactures of the department of
commerce and labor is compiling an
international commercial directory.
which will be ready for distribution
early next year. About $4,000 was
expended in the collection of data for
this volume
The last sundry civil appropriation
bill authorized an expenditure of
$500 for the assembling and print
ing of this data.
When this paragraph of the bill was
before the House Representative Taw-
ney, chairman of the committee on APP
preparations, received more letters in
favor of this item than for any other
appropriation considered by Congress.
For many years the business inter-
ests of the country, especially those en-
gagged in foreign trade, have been urg-
ing the government to compile an in
ternational commercial directory.
Nearly 1000 subscriptions for the vol
ume have been received by the bureau
of manufactures.
The first edition probably will be
5000 copies, but it is believed that
ultimately the volume will be used
very generally throughout the United
States, and that it will be popular In
foreign countries as well. The law
provides that the directory shall be
sold at not less than SIS volume.

show by the establishment of pros
porous towns and productive farms in
Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana
and other states in the semiarid west
that never in history has there been
such widespread movement of home
seekers. Most of the settlers to the
Northwest invaded unoccupied semi
arid lands, as others are doing today.
and their successes are cited as proof
that these irrigated acres have been
highly productive by the practice of
the principles of modern irrigation.
More than that, they show that the
productive capacity of hundreds of
thousands of acres of land under cult
walton for years has been greatly in
creased and enhanced in value.'

TO PRESERVE PEACE
OF WORLD
WoRklNcMEN's MOVE TO AeoL
IsH WAR GAINING RAPIDLY
IN ENGLAND.
International Congress OF Trades Un-
ions Representatives, Convinced
That Peace Conferences and DipIo-
matte Exchanges Are Not Sufficient
Strike as Peace Weapon.

The movement for workingmen's
international anti-war organization is
gaining ground so rapidly in England
mat today 1t is being discussed not
only by the labor leaders, but by the
rank and file Of unionists as well, says
United Press dispatch from London.
Definite action has not yet been
taken, but there is a strong prospect
that overtures will shortly be made
to unionistS abroad for an interna-
tional congress to put the movement
upon more substantial basis. The
leaders are convinced that peace con-
ferences between politicians and diplo-
mats are unlikely ever to end in any
thing but talk and that if anything is
to be accomplished it must be by the
workingmen's class, the class that al
ways suffers the most from war.
Maurice Hewlett, the author, is one
of the champions of the cause.
If ever such stroke can be dealt
that the pestilence of war be abated in
Europe suddenly and finally" he said,
lit will be dealt by the working class.
No other can do it; not the aristocracy,
for by their caste they may not; nor
the bureaucracy for under their rules
they will not; nor kings, for they are
negligible in these days; nor the
church, for that serves time and has
no other god; nor parliaments nor
diets, for they serve the newspapers;
nor the newspapers, for they serve
themselves.
ut will be the working class,
through it's high organizations, which
will impress the bourses by threat
and by evidences of the power it has
to execute its threat The threat,
which will be international in origin
and aim, will be of strike coincident
with declaration of war, and the evil
dence will be the resolution of an in
ternational trades union congress.
Should such congress be sum-
moned, such a resolution carried, there
would probably be no war, and If none
then there would never be one again.
The newspapers will howl, the bu-
reaucrats gnash their teeth, but the
stock exchanges and money-lenders
wal draw back-an war is over.
Here is, allege, the bounden duty
and privilege of trade unionists- to
bid war to cease"
