AUTO OWNERS
To PLEAD FOR
BETTER LAW

Automobiles throughout Connecti-
cut will be represented at the hear
ing before the legislative committee
on Roads and Bridges at the Capitol
tomorrow on all the automobile meas
ures--eleven-that have been intro
duced during the present session.
Senator Alsop Is chairman of the
committee.
Frank T. Staples, the well known
banker Of this city, who IL president
of both the Connecticut Automobile
ASSOCIATION and the Automobile Club
of Bridgeport, will be among the
notables in attendance. Attorney
Frank p. futile of Hartford will ap-
pear in the interests of the allied auto
clubs Of the state.
general interest, one having to do
with the method of taxing automo-
bileS and the other seeking to avert
the arrests Of automobiles for mere
ly technical violations Of the law.
The present scheme of taxing au-
tomobiIes is really a double taxation
Owners are taxed for their machines
as a part of their property, in the
town or city in which they dwell.
They are also taxed by the state, this
charge being based upon the horse
power of their machines. The con-
stitutionality Of this method of taxa
tion-which it is claimed is peculiar
to Connecttcut-has often been dis
puted but never determined by the
final court.
AS to the technical violations of
the law, it will be claimed by the
automobile interests that for such Of
fences as the accidental extinguishing
Of one of the lamps, or the disp1ace-
ment of the license number, should
not result in arrest. 1t will be argued
that an officer can demand to see the
license both for the car and for the
chauffeur, and then report to the
prosecuting auth critics who may set
time, giving days notice to the
offender. Arrests it is claimed are en-
tirely unnecessary for the purpose of
enforcing the automobile laws in this
respect. In such serious matters as
running down pedestrians and the
like, however, the usual method Of
arrest will be approved by the auto
mobile interests.
Among the other matters to be
considered will be the remedying of
defects in the present law, where it
has been held that there are certain
sections for which no penalty is pro-
vided; also the problem of reciprocity
with other states in the cases Of nom

LYNN BANDITS
LAUGH ON EVE
OF EXECUTION

Boston, March spending VIVA,

life, smoking and talking and laugh
ing in their cell, Wassili Ivanowski
and Andrew Ipsen, the Lynn bandits,
today. gave no indication that their
execution for the murder Of Thomas
Landrigan, of Lynn, and Policeman
James H. Carroll. was more than a
few hours of.
Both are Russians and boast that
they are Nihilists. Ipsen, the older,
is not so gay though he shows an
equal contempt with Ivanowsky for
death. Their last hours are being
made as pleasant as possible for them
with special food and tobacco.
The Rev. Father Malley, chaplain
of the Charlestown prison, spent most
of today with the condemned men.
The exact hour for their execution
probably will be withheld today for
the return Of Warden Bridges from
New York. 1t was limited that
Bridges went to New York on bust
ness connected with the electrocution.
The custom in Charlestown prison is
to keep the day and hour of execu-
ton a secret until the nine legal wit
nesses are notified. The sentence is
then quickly carried out.

Sister Giovanni, Miss Allen, struggling

Refreshing is it, after a flood of
comic opera, musical comedy and
burlesque. to see a play like 'sThe
White Sister," which accentuates
those higher duties of life, by which
men and women are differentiated
from the beasts of the field. Burden

is expressed in much modern drama,
ranging through the whole gamut of
possibilities. from legs to wediock. In

the highest nobility. There is for in

far above the duty of man to him.

the swift entrance of millions of men
into the arena of battle. a fact record

world. What should be said of the
soldier enlisted for the war, who

mourning of his sweetheart, or the
demands of his wife? What would

her agony of spirit has sought the
seclusion of the convent. has become
known as Sister Giovanni. and has
taken the final vows of her order, as

the man of her heart is alive. He
