DRASTIC AUTO BILL.
Measure in Legislature to Curb
Cars-Owners Well as Chauf-
feurs Held Responsible for Ac-
cidents-Licensesf for Drivers.


New York, Feb "a. "A radical and
lengthy automobile bill was introduced
this morning in both branches of the
New York Legislature as a result of
the labors of the National Highways
Protective Society. 1t was prepared by
special committee, of which Col. Ed
ward S. Cornell, Secretary of the So
ciety. is Chairman. The other members
of the committee are Col. John Schuyler
Crosby, John c. Coleman, Arthur X.
Wing, Lorillard Spencer, jr., w. H.
Walter and John Ehrentrau
This committee was appointed on
January II last as result of meeting
held in the office of District Attorney
Whitman, who is the attorney of the
society. At this meeting representatives
of the society, the Board of City Magis-
trates, the Police Commissioner, the
District Attorneys office, tina Automo-
bile Club of America, the American
Automobile Association, the Profess
sional Chauffeurs' Club, motorcar own
ers and manufacturers and farming in
terests discussed the situation from
their several viewpoints and unanimous
ly decided that remedial legislation was
necessary.
The appointment of the committee to
draft suitable measure was the result
of the talk, and it is the bill which this
committee has finally evolved that will
today go before the State Senate and
Assembly. Members of the committee
and representatives of the Automobile
Club of America will be present in AL
bany to urge an immediate but detailed
hearing on the measure and to press its
adoption.
1t is reported that the bill was sub
mitted to Governor Hughes, with the
idea that unless he approved its main
features it would not be submitted to
the Legislature. 1t may therefore be
taken for granted that since the meas
ure is going to be brought to the law
makers attention it has received the
approval of Governor Hughes, and that
he will also urge its adoption.
1t is stated that the silent features
of the bill are to hold the owner of a
motorcar responsible for not only his
own acts but those of his chauffeur
whether or not the owner is in the car
at the time an accident occurs graded
and heavy punishment for each offense
of which an owner or chauffeur is con-
victed; license cards similar to those in
use in Italy and France, bearing photo
graph and signature of the licensee;
revocation of this license on third con-
viction of illegal or dangerous speeding
or careless driving and a retaliatory
clause directed against those states
which do not permit New York licensed
cars to pass through them without a
new and special license, and a recipro-
city clause in favor of those which do. -

Dear Sir:
There is a brief correction to make in
my published suggestion in the Register
for the road try out for Morgan horses.
1t appeared in print as suggestion
in an exhaustion test this is lust
what | do not suggest-but thorough
road trial of sufficient length and sever
ity to show the stamina of the ndivid-
ual
For instance, say 40 miles a day for
four or five days, this distance to be COW
cred within certain reasonable hours
actually on the road. It's purpose is
to determine what horses are quail
fled for high class of road service,
and not in any way to overtax or over
drive those animals competing.
Very truly.

Presented st. Joseph's Hospital by the
President, Hon. Guiiford Smith.

Representative Guilford Smith of
South Windham. who is president of
the board of incorporators and direc-
tors of st. Josephs hospital has pre-
scented that institution a handsome
gift.
Representative Smith has been a
generous benefactor of the hospital.
But a few months ago he contributed
freely when $500 toward the mile of
dimes that the incorporators and mem
bers of the medical staff contributed
in the effort to pay off the debt of the
institution. He has OH other occa-
sions come to the assistance of the
hospital and when he was last a can
didate for the house he presented the
institution an ambulance that arrived
and was driven out for the first time
on the morning of election day.
Tuesday morning Representative
Smith. as is his custom, quietly and
unostentatiously CHANGED to drop into
the hospital and call for Mother Su-
of the hospital had been carefully dis
cussed left handing her a check Tor
$1,000 with the words with the st
wishes for the future of the hospital"
Representative Smith has a way of
remembering charitable Institutions
and it was but Monday that the build
ing fund of the local Y. NJ. C. A. vas
swelled by the addition of a check for
$1,000 from him.
The mother superior and all those
connected with the hospital appreciate
Mr.. Smiths kindness and that of his
wife who has been of such material
assistance to the institution since it
was first opened.

cradle. probably one of the largest that

sonal and real. to the men bers of the
family, excepting one beque5t which it5
Mr.. Hickey left besides a wife eight

$4,000. and to his wife so 900.
TO his wife he gives the use. during
her life, of the homestead at No 1874
Jackson street. and the life use of four
other pieces of property and at her
death it is to be divided among his
eight children.
The other clauses in the will divide
among the eight children the balance of
his real estate holdings, specifying in
each clause Just what property the
children are to have.
To his granddaughter. Mary Rose
Savory. he gives his undivided half in
