lessly, exposing sins OF omission and
commission, hitting head wherever
he sees It; and then pours the oil of
kindness and humanity upon the
wound he is compelled to make. His
object In exposing faults and showing
up the fallacies of human acts is not
merely to criticise, but primarily 70
correct, His lecture of over twol
hours, covered field as broad ard
expansive as humanity itself. He
went over the different professions and
pointed out the envy and jealousy Of
individual members of those seglegat-
ed, that initiated against harmonious
action and barred the way of progress.
Happily, he said, the medical profess
sion had passed through the worst of
this slough, and was being waited to
the brigher shore on a reform wave
the like Of which has never been seen
before in the history of the worIl.

together for their own advancement

John P. Bellew. towerman the New
York Central Railroad at Croton-on-Hud-
son. who was arrested after the accident
which resulted in the death of Spencer
Trask on December 81, was one Of the prin-
cipaI witnesses yesterday at the inquest
which is being conducted by Coroner Squire
Of Ossining, by which it is hoped to nix the
responsibility for the wreck
He told how fast freight train had
crashed into the Montreal express, which
had been held I'D at his tower. just after
he had given the signal to proceed, and
said that the freight was not in sight when
he gave the signal. He further testified
that the brakeman OF the express went only
a few feet from the rear Of the train with
his red flag, although the rules of the road
provide that he shall keep on going back
until he meets a train or is recalled by the
engineer.
The engineer of the freight tram. Eugene
Flanagan. said that he did not see the tail
lights Of the express until he was within
three hundred feet OF them He applied
the air brakes and had cut the speed of his
train down to six miles an hour when he
struck the rear car of the express. Both
Flanagan and John z. Knapp, the second
man IN his cab. maintained that the signal
which previous witnesses referred TO as the

AUTO MEASURES IN.
Follow Closely Suggestions IN
annual Message.

Albany Ian 12.-That there will be no
dearth of proposed automobile legislation
during the present legislative session was
indicated tonight by the Introduction of
measures by Assemblymen Callan, OF Co.
Iunnbia, and Dana, of New York, designed
to regulate motor vehicle traffic. Both meas
ures follow closelv the suggestions OF Gov
ernor Hughes in his annual message
The Dana bill requires automobile opera
tors to be licensed; chauHeurs must pass
an examination; machines less than 30
horsepower are to be taxed $40 annually
over 80 horsepower So the proceeds TO
be turned over to the State Highway Com
mission for road improvement A new
speed regulation OF fifteen miles an hour
in built-up portions OF cities and twenty
five miles in outlying portions is provided
and a speed in excess of thirty miles in
country districts is made prima facie evil
dence OF negligence. No one less than
eighteen years old is TO be licensed to run
a car.
The Callan bill is based on the Massachu-
setts law. II would tax machines accord

$500 900 FROM AUTOS.
High7oay Board Says They
Should Pau for Roads.

Albany. Jan. 12.-Declaring that autonno-
bile traffic has compelled more expensive
methods of construction of highways
throughout the state, which will cost an
nually more than s100o.0o0 the State Com
mission of Highways. in its first annual
report to the Legislature tonight recon-
n1ends the enforcement OF an annual regis
tration fee for automobiles which will give
the state not less than $500, COO, the proceeds
TO be devoted to the care and maintenance
of improved highways The commission
states that the S1.o0OOO0 does not take into
account the large additional amount neces-
sary for repairs on the other roads.
A study Of traffic conditions has con-
vinced the commission that one kind OF
roadbed is neither suitable nor economical
for all locations. The report suggests that
an appropriation of $4,000 be made for use
by the commission in developing. through
experiment, economical forms of road con-
struction which will be suited TO various
weights and classes Of traffic. This money
is to be used as the commission deems best
in the purchase OF suitable equipment and
materials and payment for necessary labor.
The commission believes that an appropria-
ton so made will enable it TO begin expert
ments and vary them to meet the different
conditions encountered, until satisfactory
solution of each case has been reached.
An amendment TO the constitution Is rec
commended permitting the construction of
proper roads in the forest preserve The
Attorney General has ruled that the COM
mission under the present law has no au-
thor1ty TO improve highways in the forest
preserve which are not entirely within the
alignment OF the existing roads, nor can
the commission cut any timber within
these lines

TO PROTECT STREANS.
State Engineer Says State
Controls / 800 Miles.

Albany, Jan. 12.-In his annual report to
the Legislature Frank M Williams, State
Engineer and Surveyor will make several
important recommendations. One concerns
streams, which from early usage or legis-
lative act, have become navigable public
highways. He says that there is little
general realization Of the number and ex-
tent OF these streams over which the State
is sovereign and retains control for navi-
cation purposes. They total about 1.SO0
miles Public money has been spent on
some OF these, but generally, except on
streams forming part OF the present canal
system, no state official or department has
charge OF them.
Mr.. Williams recommends legislative pro-
vision for instituting a broad investiga-
tion OF the whole subject, including the
compilation of the history OF all important
navigable streams and Il general engineer
ing reconnaissance TO determine their char
acUeristics, and the steps which may best
be taken for their development, together
with a study Of the probable utility OF
greater navigation facilities

by Telegraph TO The Tribune.


Albany, Jan. 12.-Seventy-ive representa-
tives of eighteen reform and temperance
organizations met today al the Tabernacle
Baptist Church il this city to agree on
reform legislation. After a morning and
an afternoon session the delegates or
ganized the Allied Moral and Civic Asso-
ciation Among the evils it will seek TO OBJ
viate through legislation will be gambling,
intemperance and the white slave" traffic.
Among the organizations represented, be-
SIDES those already mentioned. were the Sc
cret Law and Order League, the Anti-Saloon
League, International Order of Good Temp
lars National Temperance Society and
10y al Temperance League. The proposed
temperance legislation discussed at the
afternoon session was the county unit plan.
This plan would put the question of license
up TO the voters Of the various counties.
and If once a county voted for no license
the selling OF liquor could never be re-
estab ablished in the county. This proposition,
with others, will be discussed by the legis-
lative committee.

DEALERS PROTECTED.
Decrease an Faulty Weights
and Measures Reported.

Albany, Jan 12.-That there is a de-
nland among honest and legitimate deal
ers for systematic and intelligent in
spection OF weights and measures. TO
which they believe they are entitled TO
protect them from the dishonest COM
petitor. is asserted by DR.. F. Reichmann,
State Sealer Of Weights and Measures,
IN his annual report TO the Legislature
to-day. All are opposed, he says to a
system based or fees and one where
the tests are made for solicited services
only, which is practically the condition
throughout the state at present
Dr. Reichmann believes that periodic
ana non-periodic inspection of weights
and measures would insure protection
alike TO producer, distributor and con-
sumner. There is a vast lack OF uni
fornity," he says, 'in weights and meas
ures inspection in the various cities, as
well as in the counties and towns Under
the present law II is mandatory for each
town TO have a sealer as well as each
county. It is, furthermore. mandatory
that each county board OF supervisors
provide each town with standards. These
sealers act for solicited services only"
The Sealer recommends that the Office
of town sealer be abolished, which he
says, will save the state more than
100000 for apparatus alone; that the
county sealer be paid a salary; that
fees be established and that it be man
datory on the county sealer to inspect
and test every weight and measure used
in trade and that he make sworn report
TO the appointing power
DR. Reichnann says there has been
a notable decrease in faulty weights
and measures throughout the state owing
u more uniform action among the sealers.
and the activity Of the state department TO
eliminate those that were faulty through
ignorance or negligence.
