TO STOP AUTO SPEEDING.

& Committee Named 20 Draw Up Proposed
LaWs-VIcws Of the Magistrates.
A conference to consider means whereby
excessive automobile speeding may be
was held yesterday at the
rooms Of the National Highways Protect
i've Association, 9 West Twenty eighth
street. and a committee was appointed
by Henry Clews. the chairman. to draw
up proposed legislation embodying sug-
gestions made at the meeting.
Magistrate Cornell. the first speaker,
believed that law similar to the French
and Italian laws compelling chauffeurs
to carry their photographs with them
for the purpose Of Identification would
be advantageous. He advocated inves-
tigation into the moral character OF q
driver tS and oses Hs before
should be an age limit set for those who
operate machines.
Magistrate Barlow favored a meohan-
ical device attached to machines that
would reveal any violation Of the speed
limit.
"A severe penalty should be provided
for any one who attempts to run away
after an accident" concluded the speaker.
The act OF running away itself should
be regarded as criminal"
III was Su&Be5CSu Dy MaRlSJraJe derDert
that every chauffeur be provided with
an Identification card containing his
photograph and that a duplicate OF that
card be filed with the Secretary Of State
at Albany, thus preventing ohauiYeurs
from accidentally losing their cards"
The police were represented by Deputy
Commissioner Bugher, who advocated
the enlarging and illumination Of all
automobile numbers. The drivers too
should be licensed said Mr.. Bugher,
and then the police could get the man
and not the car
George Whiteside Of the District At
torney's office. objected to the remarks
Of some of the speakers that ohauffeurs
were not punished severely enough by the
Magistrates. In the last year, according
to Mr.. Whiteside, there have been 4,2SS
ca ses Of alleged violations OF the automo-
bile laws in the police courts, and the
Magistrates have held 3,571 Of these cases
for Sp ecial Sessions.
The representatives Of taxicab oom-
panies said that they were heartily in
accord with everything that had been
suggested. The committee was then

In a Hospital

Henry Graham Gilbert. who as plain
Gilbert, the colored butler. body guard
and personal attendant OF Samuel j.
Tilden. was known to scores Of the poll
ticians of Tildens time, died at the Lin
coin Hospital on Tuesday.
Gilbert filed an uncommon position,
both with Gov. Tilden and with other
employers, most OF them persons well
known in New York. While nominally
he was a butler, in every family with
which he was connected he succeeded
in making himself invaluable in a dozen
different capacities. Unable to read
and write, except for scrawling his name.
he knew nearly every one Of political
or social prominence in the city and State
and never made a mistake in naming
each one at sight. He was always put
at the door at important functions held
in houses in which he was employed
Gilbert was a mulatto. the son of a
Scotch father and n negro mother. He
was born in Hampton. Va. about 1912
His mother died in 1894 at an advanced
when he was a boy. and he began serving
well known families in New York.

Of Col William Jay. With him in
Col. Jays employ was young Irishman
whose name has heen lost. The two
servants, according to stories later
told by Gilbert. began their military ex-
periences with the first battle of Bull
Run. Gilbert used to say that he and
his Irish friend were among the first
to get of that field and that stopped
running only when safe in Washington.
When their fears subsidized they re-
joined their employer and according
to Gilbert's "reminiscences had no more.
trouble of that sort.
Among other families with which
Gilbert was connected in his earlier days
were the Havemeyers. Mollers and
Bigeiows.
Gov. Tilden took up Gilbert about
1872. The mulatto remained with the
Democratic leader during the fourteen
years that remained before Mr.. Tilden's
death in 1885.
Gilbert used to tell tales Of his care
of the Governor. always insisting that
1t was only by his own Judgment in select
ing food and in a thousand and one other
intimate matters Of daily life Mr.. Tilden
ever got on at all.
One of his anecdotes was about the
way he used to get rid of unwelcome
callers at Mr.. Tilden's city home Gil
bert always knew them by intuition
They'd come up and say Is Gov.
Tilden IMP" he used 10 say. Nand I'd go
into the house and come back and say
No; but l was always mighty careiui
to shove Mr.. Tilden out into the garden
before l said it-I wouldn't tell lie,
no, sir
Gilbert was in a prominent place at
Mr.. Tilden's funeral The Governo r
left him 81 600.
One of his later employers was George
Frederick Kunz of Tiffany 4 Co. For
a year or so beginning in 1905 Gilbert
had charge Of the Columbia University
Zeta Psi chapter house.
Gilbert told his attendants in the hos
pital that Coroner Winterbottom, who
has an undertaking establishment in
Sixth avenue, was holding for him a deed
to a cemetery lot. Those interested
in Gilbert found this to be true. Gill
bert's mother was buried in the lot, and

forces surprised vasquez yesterday and
there were two engagements. Gen. Cha

reports victories in both fights. They
occurred at Las Verdas. ten miles this side
OF Acoyapa.
Reports received here say the attack
on Vasquez was complete surprise to
him. Chamorro had been advancing
through the brush for ten days. He de-
ployed his army in three sections. BY
forced marches the troops advanced
faster than the enemy expected. Vasquez
had scouts posted for forty miles outside
his lines They were few in number. how
ever, and not one OF them mana ged to get
back to his lines to warn him OF the ad-
vance of the PROFESSIONALS. All were
captured.
State Secretary Adolfo Diaz gave out
the statement last night that over hun
dred men had been killed in yesterdays s
two gagements. The loss was con-
fined to the enemy's army. Following
the two fights Gen. Chamorro ordered
general advance Of his forces. with the
result that he has 900 men lined up OUT
side the Vasquez Notifications at Acoyapa
this morning.
1t was thought possible that the battle
might be fought to-day. although Cha
