CREWS TIE: UP
r. r. CROSSING
Continued from Page IL

Continued from Page IL
Indiana Harbor car was "squatting" on
the crossing to prevent just that. The
railroads crew had their Instructions
from Gibson. and the street car crew
from local headquarters.
The car was crowded with passengers
who were clamoring to be taken to
their destination. Judge Riley. sympa-
thizing with the passengers. told the
street car crew to go on and he would
see that the crossing was not run
without permission of the South Shore.
The motorman demurred, but the con-
ductor declared he was willing to take
a chance on his job with Judge Riley
back of him and gave the signal to go
on. In the meantime another car had
arrived and was awaiting the passage
of the first car for a clear track to
proceed on its journey.
The first car had no sooner gone on
than the Belt roadmaster, also sur
named Riley. ordered his men to pro-
coed with their job. Judge Riley
threatened arrest to the entire outfit
and thereby induced the roadmaster to
repair with him to the offices of the
Gernna n-Ameriean car shops for a par
ley with his boss by phone.
Judge Riley got Gibson on the wire
and after learning that the engineer

work done. had no written authority
from headquarters, advised that 1t
would not be we'll to take advantage of
C. w. Hotchkiss' absence to resort to
high handed methods to run a crossing,
when such methods were known to be
opposed to the usual practices of the
general manager of the BELT. His ar
guments won the day and prevented a
tie-up of the Indiana Harbor branch of
the South Shore, which would have
endured for several hours. had he not
interfered. Later in the day the two
roads came to an understanding re-
garding the crossing and IL VISA agreed
to allow the work to proceed this
morning without interference by the
South Shore.

GEORGIA AUTO LICENSES
APPROACH 10000 MARK
Still Coming in at Rate of % a Day.
Probable Amendments IN Law.

Still Coming in at Rate of 20 Day.
Prchabie Amendments IN Law.
Georgia's Automobile registration
lists are rapidly approaching the TO-
oo0 mark. New license are being is
sued at the rate CT about 20 day, ac-
cording to Secretary of State Phil
Cook. The last numter issued. Thurs.
day, was S,2S5. Mr.. Cook believes
that the present rate will be main
iaIned fer some time to con. at
least long enough to exhaust the sup
ply OF 10000 TAGS which he purchas-
ed in advance CT the registration. For
long time it looked as if he had
overshot the demand, but he now be-
lieves he will have to buy another
supply of tags. II
"But | don't expect to order any
more tags until the legislature has
had chance to do whatever it's GO
ing to do about amending the present
law. believe the law will be amend
ed in some particulars, especially in
the specifications describing the tag
itself. The tag is too big for motor
cycles. l notice that a number of
states provide special size CT tag
for motorcycles and require the num-
Ger OF the tag to be painted on each
side of the machine" said Secretary
Cook.
Mr.. Cook believes there will be 9TH
er amendments in the law, though he
does net anticipate any vital change
in it.

from officers of the Anti-Salcon league

1t is conceded here by all the inter

The anti-saloon people are prepar

The liquor men will take the stand
that the anti-saloon people not salts

want to make the law so drastic that
many former prohibitionists are
changing sides. The anti-prohibition
lists, therefore, are preparing to make
the fight of their lives in the warfare
which they feel that the anti-saloon
league is precipitating.
The local optionists will argue fur

quite unsatisfactory. The locker clubs
