BOTH OPERATORS
 ADMIT GUILT
ANTONIO GRAFT SAYS HE BOR-
 ROWED AUTOMOBILES.
George Kirk Drove Auto That Hit a Trolley Car-BOth Cases Closed
 and Decisions Reserved.

Antonio Graft of Waterbury and Heorge Kirk of Ridgeield were before Secretary of State Rogers yesterday the charges against them. Graff, who was born in Italy and did not know his own age, said that he had taken motor vehicles without the permits sion of their owners, and was partly overcome under examination.
 The secretary closed both cases, re- serving his decision MT. Kirk, an engineer, readily admitted that he had driven a car while in an unfit condi- tion on the occasion of his mishap with a trolley car In Danbury.
 Policeman James Turner of Dan- Oury testified that on Nov. 5, he or dered Policeman Simpson to arrest Kirk. The man admitted his condi- tion at the time. He was driving on the wrong side of the street before the accident with trolley car on that day.
 Police Com. Michael Schurntzer of Danbury, who deals In coal and is an alderman, testified that .he opera tor had appeared intoxicated after the accident.
 Kirk, who has driven a car for electrical engineer, living in Ridge field, said that the trolley was going in the direction that his car was moving. He had thought that he had clearance to go through between the car and the curb. His car was dam aged in many parts. He srtuck the car while his brakes were full on. He gave his speed rate at eighteen or twenty miles an hour. He frequently went to Danbury and had driven over 15. 900 miles. using the car contin- uously during the summer. He had received notice that his license had been suspended. He admitted that he was not in a condition for driving the car.

keW Haven Tires
 Of Its Academic
 White Way 5 osan

New Haven. Dec. 2o-As a terse and academic expression of the city's ideals. the words "Old Films but New Ideas" may fill the bill to a ''T'', but as for a business slogan they are far from fitting, in the minds of the officers of some of the city's large manufacturing concerns. The project of having the slogan inscribed on the heads of their letters and stationery doesn't strike the ideas of many of the big business men. Many of the manufacturers and merchants have expressed a private dislike for the slogan, which they would not care to express publicly, while others by their diplomatic statements, have eluded any expression of opinion.
 It has been suggested as a good plan to hold a meeting of committees from the Chamber of Commerce. bus. mess men, and from the city's manu- featuring and business interests and from the city officials and. large or ganizations to decide on a slogan which will be more suitable as a bus mess and municipal "war cry" The general objection to "Old Films but New Ideas" is not that it means too little, but that 1t means too much. It Is considered too academic.

The birthday OF the Father OF his
Country" May it ever be freshly re-
membered by American hearts; may it
ever reawaken in them a filial veneer
alton for his memory; ever rekindle
the fires of patriotic regard tor the
country which he loved so well, &c
which he gave his youthful vigor and
his youthful energy; t. which he de-
voted his life in the maturity OF his
powers, in the heidi to which again he
offered the counsels OF his wisdom
and his experience as president of the
convention that framed our constitu-
ton; which he buided and directed
while in the chair OF state, for which
the last prayer On his earthly supplica-
ton was offered up when it came the
moment for him so well, and so grand
". and so calmly to die. He was the
| first man of the time in which he grew.
His memory is first and most sacred
IN our love, and ever hereafter, till the
last drop OF blood shall freeze in the
last American heart, his name shall be
a spell of power and OF might.
Yes. gentlemen, there is one per-
sonal. one vast felicity. which no man
can share with him. 1t was the daily
beauty and towering and matchless
| glory of his life which enabled him to
| create his country and at the same time
| secure an undying love and regard for
the whole American people The first
in the hearts of his countrymen." Yes
! first! He has our first and most fer
| vent love. Undoubtedly there were
brave and wise and good men before
his day in every colony But the
American nation, as nation, / do
no, reckon to have begun before I774,
| and the first love o, that young Amer
lea, was Washington. The first word
| she lspcd was his name. Her earliest
breath spoke it. 1t still is her proud
ejaculation, and it will be the last gasI
OF her expiring life!

LICENSE TRANSMITS
City Council Puts License Of
S25 a Day on All Outside
Merchants and Dealers
BaEWERIES TO Be HARD HIT

Transient merchants of every varie-
ty are to be hard hit by a resolution
adopted by the common council at the
meeting on Monday evening when the
mayor was instructed to collect Ii
cense fec of $25 day from all such
dealers coming into Kenosha. In lieu
of this license fee the merchants will
be forced to put up bond in the sum
of $500 to insure their presence in the
city long enough to have their proper
ty assessed and taxed by the Kenosha
Board of Assessment. 1T is probable
that the action of the council will be
far reaching as the mayor declared on
Monday evening that he would enforce
the resolution against all sorts Of
transient merchants in the city He
declared that this must include tea
and coffee merchants coming to Ke-
nosha from other cities. Whiskey and
beer dealers who come into the city
and compete with established agencies
for breweries and wholesale liquor
houses, travelling tobacco statesmen who
carry their stock with them and a
score 'of other merchants doing bust
ness in Kenosha weekly. The brewery
agents will be especially looked after
under the resolution as it is claimed
that some of the brewe1ies who have
no agencies here and who pay no taxes
in the city are selling large amounts
of beer weekly. Efforts will be made
to force these men to take out a reg
ular wholesale license for Kenosha.
The resolution is aimed as preIenta-
tive for fly by night concerns who go
into cities and put on special sales and
as soon as several carloads of products
have been disposed of quit the city
without paying taxes or license. AS
the licensing of transient merchants
is something of a hobby with the mayor
there is no doubt but that he will en-
force the resolution to the letter.
