Of private claim bills. among them one
appropriating $4,000 to pay the claims Of
letter carriers for overtime work.
Thee claims arose under the act Of Nav

Hughes AlludeS To Unified Promise
of Greater Federal Economy,

The Republican party was raped in
the Senate yesterday by Senator Hughes
OF Colorado. for failure to live up to It's
promise that there would be greater
economy in government expenditures.
He recalled the promise Of the Commit
tee on Expenditures, which was created.
recently. to cut government expenses
many millions Of dollars. and In this con
nectior repeated Senator Aldrich's oh
servation that $500 10000 can be saved

The Washington herald., 1910-04-24

The railroad bill was before the SEN
ate yesterday afternoon for two hours
Senator Borah, the principal speaker, OPP
posed the pending amendment Of Senator
Crawford. which the Senate leaders have
accepted and which relates 10 the power
which the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion may exercise over rate and classl-
fication agreements.
This is the amendment which has given
rise to the sharp conflict between the
Senate regulars. led by Senators Aldrich
and Elklns on the one hand. and the
Republican insurgents. led by Senator
Cummins and the Democrats on the
other.
Senator Borah declared the amendment
repealed not only the Sherman antitrust
law. but also the common law against
combinations. The Senator from Idaho
declared that he preferred Senator Cum
Minis amendment. offered as a substitute
the effect OF which will be to discourage
agreements
Opposed 20 Agreements
Senator Cummins entered the debate 70
explain his amendment and stated frank
~ that he was opposed to agreements.
Senator Elkins insisted that Mr.. Cum
Minis amendment invited the railroads
10 make such agreements, but under less
favored conditions than those conferred
by the Crawford amendment.
Senator Bailey OF Texas. said that
Senator Cummlns amendment permitted
matter OF law. but imposed conditions
which made It impossible for the rail-
roads TO enter into such agreements as
a matter Of practice The Crawford
amendment. Senator Bailey insisted.
made IT possible for TIE carriers 10 reach
agreements under favorable conditions.
Senator Crawford insisted the whole
question raised by the amendments was
as 10 whether any agreement between the
railroads should be permitted under the
law. Senator Sutherland. of Utah. called
the attention of Republican Senators TO
the fact the Chicago platform Of the
Republican party had expressly declared
i'm favor OF a modification Of the Sherman
antitrust law.
Senator Bacon Answered.
Senator Bacon inquired whether the
Senator from Utah was prepared to legis-
late in accordance with the demands Of
the party platform, or upon his own indl-
vidual judgment and responsibility.
II am prepared in consideration of this
measure, to give much weight to the
declaration Of great political orgsniza-
ton like that Of the Chicago convention"
replied Mr. Sutherland.
This brought Senator William Alden
Smith OF Michigan. TO bis feet III /

If all the party platforms in Christendom
declared in favor Of it,"
The question raised by the amendments
has been before the Senate three DAYS
and is likely to be a subject OF debate
for some time TO come. Republican lead
ers admit they will have a close vote on
the question of retaining the Crawford
amendment and turning down Senator
Cummins' pet. The Democrats will line
up almost solidly with the ipsurgent Re
publicans in favor Of Senator Cummins'
proposition, and there are Indications that
number Of near-insurgents will support
him.
The Senate at 4 O'Clock was compelled !
to adjourn for lack Of a quorum Several |
Senators had disappeared.

In short. the good citizen in a repub-
lie must realize that he ought 20 possess
two sets Of qualities and that neither
avaiis without the other. He mus, have
those qualities which make fer efficiency.
and he must also have those qualities
which direct the efficiency into channels
for the public good. The good citizen
will demand liberty for himself. and as
a matter Of pride he will see TO ii that
others receive the liberty which he thus
claims as his own. Probably the best
test Of true love Of liberty fin any country
is the way in-which minorities are treated

CHAUFFEUR MURDERER.
Coroner Conn its to the Tombs
Without Bail George Jones,
Whose Car Killed Girl.

George Jones of New York, the nine
teen year-old chauffeur, accused of run
ming down and killing Jennie Bernstein
with his automobile Nov. 4, was held
without bail by Coroner Hamburger and
remanded to the Tombs to await the
action of the Grand Jury. The charge
against him is homicide.
1t was the first time in the history of
the Coroner's office that such action
has followed the detention of Chauffeur
after causing a death.
Mrs Hattie Touchette and Mrs. Alice
Humphreys, who made afiidavits that
led to Jones arrest, We're in court. The
other occupant of the car, William
Simpson, was also present.
Jones refused to make any statement
except to say he did not recall that his
car hit any one. He will have to an
swer to the new law, which makes au-
tomobile killings murder in the first de-
gree instead of mansIaughter.
The women who swore they We're rid
ing with Jones said they met him at
Coney Island last summer and went out
in the car with him several times after
that
In her affidavit Mrs. Touchette said
that after the car hit the child Jones
sped on. At Seventh avenue and Thir-
ty-seventh street, she said, Jones lit a
match and burned off hair that re-
manned where his car had struck little
Jennie. When she accused him of kill
ing the child he burst into tears and
begged her not to tell any one. Mrs.
Humphreys corroborated everything
Mrs. Touchette said. Simpson declared
he didn't know the car had struck any
one, but admitted he heard the woman
speak of it a few days later.
Despite statements that Jones has
been unnerved since the accident, the
women said he has run the car continu-
ally since then, and only two weeks ago
was arrested for speeding.

one. Soon the car appears with an APP
parently new tire and the chauffeur pre-
sents a bill of S75. A close examination
might show that the new tire is really
the old one, carefully busted with chalk
to give it a virgin appearance. Perhaps
the old tire did blow up and the new one
is second hand article, rejuvenated
with chalk and worth about SO.
There is a rake-off for the chauffeur
on all supplies and repairs that he orders
for his employer. A conservative chauf
feur limits himself to 10 per cent, while
reckless driver takes all he can get.
On Joy rides" and other illicit trips
it is a common device to grease the
number plate so that it will collect dust
and the numbers will become illegible.
A string may also be attached to the
plate so that it can be pulled up when
the car is speeding or an accident has
occurred and Identification is feared.
False plates are also used. although
this is a misdemeanor Plates of any
sort may be had from any dealer; they
are not supplied by the state. There is
no light at the rear of the car to illum-
mate the plate so that it can be read at
night. Deputy Police Commissioner
Bugher has recommended a perforated
plate with a bull's-eye light behind it,
making the figures legible at night.
An automobile bill drawn up by the
National Highway Protective Society
will be presented to the Legislature of
New York at the coming session. 1t
provides for a commission to examine
drivers of automobiles and to license
those who show that they have both
technical ability and good character.
Licenses may be revoked and reissued.
A driver who is at the wheel while in
| toXicated or is convicted more thar
once of reckless driving is to have his
license revoked. Any one running away
after an accident caused by his act shall
be liable to Imprisonment for one year.

law is being violated shall be hello

Au to m O bile Regulation.

There is obvious necessity for the i'm
provement of the regulation of motor
traffic. ] believe that a substantial
license tax should be imposed for the
privilege of operating motor vehicles
within the state, the proceeds to be de-
voted to highway repair. But the mat
ter of first Importance for your serious
consideration is the provision of adequate
safeguards to protect the lives of our
citizens. The operation of motor vehi-
cles should be prohibited. save by those
who upon proper examination and after
tests specially adapted to their work
are found to be duly qualified and lcen-
sed accordingly under proper state au-
thority administering system of uni
form application. These licenses should
be subject to suspension and revocation,
and in the case of repeated infractions
of the law the guilty person should not
only forfeit his license but be debarred
from receiving another in the future
1t should be made crime in itself, with
severe penalty, for anyone to seek to
escape after an accident to which his
act has contributed. Extract from
Gov. Hughes message.
