and fell Beethoven assembled the throne
Of music which he VIII occupy ss long a.
the world lasts. As boy, this master
musician was ungovernable. his manners
were rude, and his appearance unkept,
At al times ne was uncOmpr0misingiy
honest and was g passionate lover OF the
truth. Il Is related Of him mat he even
dismissed an over-zealous housekespsr,
who IN order TO spare him some annoy
ance told an untruth. When expostu-
lated with. Beethoven replied, whoever
tells a lie IS not clean-hearted. and such
a person cannot cook a clean meal"
Like Newton, he was unconscious that
ne had not dined. and on several occa-
sions he urged payment on the waiter
for a meal which he had neither ordered
nor eaten He forgot he was the owner
Of a horse, until recalled to the fact by
long bill for its keep. Beethoven al
though his appearance seemed to bella
the fact, was extremely fond OF washing.
He would pour water backward and for
ward over his hands for a long time,
and If at such times a musical thought
struck him, and he became absorbed, he
would go on until the whole floor was
swimming and the water had found It's
way through the ceiling into the room

PRESIDENT TAFT PRESENTED
WITH SOUVENIR BOOKLET.

President Taft was presented with
copy of a souvenir brochure yesterday by
7. f. Jarrerd, representing r. NJ owen
& Co, general sales agent Of the REQ
Motor Car Company. of Lansing, Mich.
The booklet deals with the now memoir
able run made by the four-cylinder REQ
roadster in the New York-Atlanta good
roads tour.
1t has been dedicated to the President,
as it deals with the trip through the
" 'possum" country. On the front and
back covers an artistic design has been
worked out, showing one OF the Presi-
dents favorite animals lodged securely
in the branches Of a tree.
1t will be recalled that in the New
York-Atlanta run there were thirty-eight
machines entered, out Of which twenty
six reached the Southern city with So
called perfect scores, but the only ma
chine to make the 1.10O-mile trip across
nine States was the REQ roadster.
r. NJ. Owen, who drove the machine
personally. issued a challenge on reaching
Atlanta, inviting all sO-called perfect
score cars, regardless of price, to a tech
nicdi examination to determine the real
winner. This was not accepted. so the
REQ really stands as the true winner Of
the contest.
The booklet tells of the experiences
of the party which made the trip with
Mr.. Owen. A copy Of it can be secured
from Lester D. Moore, jr., distributor for
the REQ cars in this section.

were very infrequent, but with automo-
biles capable OF travelling through three or
four States In a day, the question OF
regulating this traffic becomes an i'm
portant issue. Under present conditions,
an automobilist who is familiar with the
laws of his own State and is faithfully
complying with them. visits another state
and finds that he has violated some minor
requirement OF its laws, which renders
him liable to arrest Some OF the States
have enacted legislation against nonresi-
dent automobiles, which would seem to
infringe their rights as citizens. not only
of a friendly State, but Of the United
States. This is a matter that will re-
quire appropriate legislation by Congress
TO the end that the citizen of one State
may be free TO travel through other States
without vexatious restrictions. and with
out paying special taxes not imposed on
nonresidents using other methods OF
travel. IN so far as State legislation is
concerned. It should be possible TO secure
the enactment OF uniform laws, easily
understood, under which the rights OF the
automobilist the farmers. and the general
public 10 the use OF our highways VIII

Loud honk-honks. the buzz OF the olar-
ion. following the playing OF AUD Lang
Syne." and the blowing OF taps at II
o'clock last night at Convention Hall
wound up the greatest automobile show
ever held IN this city.
In point OF attendance and business,
the exhibition was a most brilliant sue
cess. and speaks well for the untiring
efforts OF Manager Ben johnson and hSs
competent forces. Mr.. Johnson was ono
OF the happieSt men In the big audi
forum last night and he had reason 20
be.
IT don't think that from any stand
point there has been an auto exhibition
wherein was shown the greatest industry
OF the twentieth century IN all its de-
tails as this one,'' declared Manager
Johnson last night
Have Keen Insight.
Washington people have shown them
selves 10 be possessed OF a keen insight
which distinguishes what Is good and
bad in the auto field. AS a result OF this
most valuable faculty, they are able TO
protect themselves from the wiles or the
smooth-talking agent who6s sole stock
In trade, outside OF an inferior machine
is his ability 20 talk.
Happily nothing but standard makes
were on exhibition. and the spectators
during the week saw the best the mar
ket affords want TO thank the people
OF Washington for the way they have
patronized the show. and I only hope,
and honestly believe, We viii be able
to have a much better show"
Although no accurate figures are OBJ
tainable, II is estimated that IN the six
days OF the show 1890 persons filed into
the big hall. This surpasses the most
conservative predictions. Another big
crowd was there yesterday afternoon and
last night 1t was carnation day, IN
honor Of the late President McKinley's
birthday Every woman visitor was pre-
scented with a pink carnation, the Presi-
dents favorite flower.
BY orders of Manager Johnson. no eX-
hibitor was allowed 10 remove any part
Of his display last night Beginning this
morning the cars will be taken from the
hall In regular order. starting at the
north side, until everything has been
cleared away. The majority Of the cars
will be towed to their respective sales
rooms and garages.
Plans for a permanent organization for
the holding of an annual show have al
ready been formulated. Members OF the
present committee. with their chairman.
W. c. Long, are unit in declaring that
the success Of this years show warrants
the movement.
Washington dealers predict that this city
will rapidly become the automobile dis
tributing center Of the South, and that
next year the show will have the entire
Southern Industry here for the exhibition.
