good stream of water nearly to tho
top of the gilded dome. Governor
Carroll, State Auditor Bleakly, State
Treasurer Morrow, Fire Marshal Roe,
Engineer Spry, Secretary Dawson of
the executive council and newspaper
men witnessed the demonstration.

in the garnet and carried it out onto
the roof of the senate wing Of the
state house. The state house pumps
were turned on and, with the city
pressure, heavy stream Of water
was thrown into the little top win
dows of the big gilded dome. The
firemen then turned the stream onto
the little dome at the southeast cor
ner of the senate wing. and from the
gilded dome threw powerful stream
nearly over the senate dome.

kuIp Automobile Law.

kuip AutomopVe Law.
Changes undoubtedly will be made
in the Kulp automobile license law ut
the next session of the general as.
sembly, according to w. C. Hayward.
secretary of state. THE biggest
change necessary Is the fixing of .
certain limit of speed at which cars
may be operated in the business Sec
ton of Cities" said Mr.. Hayward.
1.-THE Kulp law provides that cities
shall pass ordinances regulating the
speed of cars through the business
section to not more than mile in six
minutes, or ten miles an hour. 1t is
evident, from the results of the law
since 1t became operative, that there
must be fixed speed, set forth in
plain language with severe penalties
for infringements, before auto drivers
will safeguard their own lives and
the lives of pedestrians as they
should be being satisfied with slower
travel in congested districts"
