WILL EDUCATE OWNERS
in STATE AUTO LAWS.

The New York State Automobile Asso-
citation has launched a Statewide CAM
paign to better familiarize motorists and
other users of the public highways with
the motor vehicle law of New York, looking
toward a more universal compliance with,
greater respect for, and the enforcement
of It's provisions. The State association,
comprising as 1t does over 10000 represen-
tative motorists throughout New York
State. played an important part in the
three years discussion which led up to
and in the final passage Of the original
Gillian law itself, and was responsible in
no small degree for the amendments
which were Incorporated this year. The
result was a model law.
Every member will be asked to report
to the secretary of his local club cases
where the provisions of the law are not
being compiled with, and all instances of
speeding. reckless driving, noncompliance
with traffic regulations, the passing OF
vehicles on the road in a cloud of dust,
to the danger of the travelling public,
and the abuse of the muffler cut-out and
horn. This information will be treated In
the strictest confidence, and the lame
of the informer will not be divulged I'M
der any circumstances. In addition the
State association has urged upon every
affiliated club the necessity of appoint
ing a vigilance committee. The member
of this committee are to be known only
to the president and secretary, and are
unknown to one another.

SKIES MISSING
IN BERLIN SHOW
Knight Motor Much in Evidence
at Recent German Auto
Exhibition.

From an American point Of view, one
OF the most striking features of the recent
Berlin show was the entire absence of six
cylinder cars. Not a single German ex-
hibitor exhibited a car of this type. the
only one shown being an English Dam
Ter six-cylinder chassis, equipped with a
Knight engine.
Another very marked tendency was the
bringing out of low-powered and low
priced models by many of the European
manufacturers with the evident lntentlon
of preventing the capture of this class
of trade b. the American manufacturers,
who are now making a strong effort 10
secure the market for low-priced cars.
Probably the most noticeable feature OF
the show was the number OF cars equlpIpehp

CODE OF SIGNALS NEEDED.

In the suburbs of New York il has be-
come a common custom for automobilists
travelling in opposite directions to warn
each other of the proximity of bicycle
cops These warnings often fail to con-
vey their meaning. The trouble is of there
being no gesture for the warning that is
generally understood. A certain New
York coterie uses the gesture of thumbs
down." like hat employed in the Roman
arena of old, to warn others of the po-
lice presence. In one instance where the
thumb signal was used, a speeding mo-
torist thought it meant something else,
and when he slackened speed to inspect
his car a bicycle policeman arrested him.

WHIP AS AIIT0 AccESS0RY.

In Germany the whip is becoming an ae-
ceesory for automobile tourists. 1t has
been found that cows, though they refuse
to get out of the way of an automobile
until they are bumped into, respond at
once to the persuasion of a whip, and an
enterprising firm has consequently placed
an automobile whip on the market. 1t
is OF such dimensions that it can conve-
niently be put away under the seat until
there is need for its services.

MORMON CHURCH IN
SUGAR TRUST DEALS
Cutler Tells How Smith Was
Made Head of Utah
Concern.

Washington, June 24.-Henry c,
Havemeyer, during all his connection
with the Utah-Idaho Sugar company,
of which Joseph +. Smith, head of the
Mormon church, is president, never
named or suggested a director or Off
Ger OF that corporation, declared Vice
President Thomas r. Cutler of that
company before the house sugar trust
committee of inquiry today
Mr.. Cutler testified that Bavemeyer,
who had acquired interests In several
OF the original Mormon companies, at
first objected to the consolidation into
the Utah-Idaho company.
Mr.. Havemeyer was very much OPP
posed to the proposed merger at first"
said Mr.. Cutler. HE said he preferred
to have his stock in the various COM
panies remain as IL was. 1t did made
considerable difference with the west
ern stockholders and our people, and 1t
took a great deal OF argument stretch
ing over several months to convince
Mr.. Havemeyer that the consolidation
effected in 1907 was beneficial.
Some of the stockholders feared that
Mr. Havemeyer and the American Su-
gar Refining company sought to get
control. For this reason an agreement
was drawn up which Mr.. Havemeyer
was asked to sign providing that the
original stockholders should name
three directors, the eastern interests
three and these a seventh.
"Mr. Havemeyer agreed to the pro-
posal. l suggested several names, and
he accepted them so that / really
named the six directors, all western
people. No one of the American
Sugar Refining company is on the
board, except as l represent them.
Il asked Mr.. Havemeyer next about
the seventh man, or who should be
president. | told him that il agree.
able to him, we would very much de,
sire that the president Of the Mormon
church be president OF the company,
because OF his influence with the peo-
pie and his deep interest in the bust
ness enterprises of the people. AN
right, Mr.. Cutler Mr.. Havemeyer at
once replied. That is all right; just
the thing President Smith was
named president of the company and
Mr.. Havemeyer never afterward sug-
gested an officer or director"
Mr.. Cutler said that only about &C.
per cent of the stock of the company
is held by Mormons, and some of the
directors are not MormOns.

BOSTON BEANEATERS

Residents Now Consuming

Boston, June 27-Who hath done
murder to the Boston bean is the
question in Boston. Boston eats per-
sistently, earnestly and enthusiastic
ally these days and the dish that
characteriZes its eating is spaghetti.
Investigation proves this:
The largest importer of this article
brought in 100000 cases CT spaghetti
in 1905. In 1910 he imported more
than 100000 cases. This is something
more than 10000 tons, and this year
it is expected all records will be
broken.
Tradition Is tottering. And this In
the town where, if the joke columns
be credited. the bill of fare is beans,

OF restaurant men is that Boston eats
no more beans per capita than other
cities while it probably holds the spa

DEBATED IN SENATE
Root Amendment Will Be Voted
on Before Days Session
Is Ended.

Washington, June 27.--The Canada n
reciprocity bill was taken up in the
Senate today within 10 minutes after
the session convened, the Root amend
ment being the special subject OF con-
sideration. Senator Thornton, of Lou
isiana, denounced the measure on the
ground that IL discrtminated against
the agricultural element.
Admitting the probability Of the de-
feat of the Root provision later in the
day Mr.. Thornton still advocated it, He
said he did not want Canada to get the
advantage that would be given by the
wood pulp provision as it stands.
Senator Clark, of Wyoming, also adj
vocated the Root amendment, saying
that II the bill was to become a law
he wanted ii to be as good as possible.
He characterized that amendment rs
the only thing that could mako the
measure reciprocal. Mr.. Clark added
that he was against the whole agree

SNAKE STOPS TALK
ON A PARTY. PHONE
Reptile in Gable Box Crosses
Wires and Trouble Hunters
Work Three Days.

Elwood. Ind, June 27.--"Trouble

was found to have been put out of

box, where it had worked it's way into
mesh of small copper wires.
The current killed the snake but

of telephones. Men worked three days
to find the trouble.

a snake putting telephone exchange
