Auto Club Explains
Our Reciprocity Law
New York License for Chaufeurs Cannot Be Recognized Here
Because NeighbOr State Does Not Extend Same Courtesy.

The Automobile Club of America has
issued a bulletin explaining some of
the features of the New Jersey auto
mobile reciprocity law, which became
effective on April 3.
The bulletin Is as follows:
New York chauffeurs' licenses will not
be recognized IN New Jersey because New
York State will not recognize the chauffeur
from New Jersey who Is not provided
with a New York chauffeur license. This
unfortunate state of affairs Is caused by
the provision in New York's law which
only recognizes chaufeurs' licenses where
the requirements Of obtaining them are
approximately the same as those re-
quired by New York.
1t Is no longer possible to transfer a
registration certificate from one car TO
another, although the registration may
be transferred from the previous owner
TO the purchaser Of a car. This Is the
same system which prevails at present
In New York.
All applications for the registration Of
commercial vehicles must be accompanied
by ar affidavit stating the exact weight
Of the vehicle unloaded. This is neces-

KILBANE ORDERS
WHITE TOURING AUTO

Johnny Kilbane, featherweight cham
pion of the world, placed his order last
week for a White sel~f-starting thirty
horsepower touring car. The car is
to be painted emerald green with sill
YER stripping.
When he placed the order Kilbane
said: II want a White for two reasons
One is that it is a good car n the
other is that my right arm is entirely
too valuable to me to risk it crank1ng
a car. With the White starting sys-
tenn, which seems to be far the
simplest and surest of any that
have seen, I do not taxi n chances
of having my arm put out of commits

he had put his arms around her and

Sneed said she convinced him there

An effort will be made by the pros

SUGAR TARIFF LEGISLATION HAS
PLACED STATE DEPARTMENT
IN AWKWARD POSITION.
new Laws viii Allow of Lower Rate
OF Tar'H Into United States Than
Old Treaty Will Now Permit-Cu-
bans Enjoyed Low Rate.

washington. Feb. 1.-THE necessity
OF the proposed new reciprocity treaty
between the United States and Cuba
was explained today at the state de.
partment on the ground that threaten
ed revision of the sugar tariff by con-
gress might affect a provision con-
tanned in Article VIII of the present
convention. which reads:
And no sugar, the product OF any
foreign country shall be admitted by
treaty or convention into the United
States while this convention is in
lorce, at lower rate of duty than
that provided by the tariff act of the
united States approved July "a. 1897
(the Dingley acU."
The present treaty has continued in
operation from year to year in the aD-
sence of a decree of either party to
terminate it. Recently the Cuban gov
ernment proposed that the treaty be
extended five years, with the under
standing that the revised treaty
should then go into operation. The
state department declined this prop
Osltlon because of the inclusion in the
treaty of the foreign sugar provision
which it desired to get rid of.
Embarrassing Position.
If this provision, along with the
rest of the treaty, had been extended
five years, the state department would
have been in an embarrassing. position
on he reduction of sugar duties.
Of the nature of the new treaty lit
tie can be stated at this time, but it
is understood that the Cubans would
be expected to relinquish some of the
advantage they enjoy under the artI-
Gle which now admits all of their su-
gar, tobacco and other products into
the United States at reduction of 20
per cent from the rates paid by other
countries. Although certain classes of
American products are given reduc-
tions of duty when imported into Cuba
amounting to from 20 to 40 per cent,
1t is asserted that the advantage has
been shown to be largely in favor of
cuba.

Yesterday.

Only eighty-six voters were polled
in the special election held yesterday
for the election of an ordinary to
succeed the late Judge Horace Dart,
and Edwin w. Dart, clerk of the
court and son of the late ordinary was
elected to the position.
The fact that there was no oppo-
sition for the place, and the very in
clement weather during the day kept
many voters from the polls.
The eightysix votes were cast in
this city. An election was also held
at the various county precincts, but
it is understood only few votes were
polled.

It's peculiar thing to get lost; a
handsome piano, but for time the
disappearance of the musical instru-
ment from the Grand opera house
Duzzled Manager Wood, the merchants
who are interested, and members Of
the police force, but the mysterious
disappearance was somewhat solved
yesterday, when warrants were
sworn out by Manager Wood, charging
Charlie Irvine with the larceny of the
instrument, and now the case will go
to he courts before it is finally set
tied.
Some time ago a number of local
merchants purchased a very hand
some piano, which, is to be given to
the person or organization securing
the largest number of coupons, which
are given out with each purchase by
the merchants who are interested.
The piano was purchased from the
late G.. b. Irvine, and remained in
his place Of business for some time
but was later removed to the store
Of Vickers & Mann. Monday, however
it was decided to remove the piano
to the Grand, in order that it could
be exhibited from the stage.
1t was placed on the stare Of the
Grand Monday afternoon, but, behold
it was gone Wednesday morning. anc
Manager Wood or none of the others
connected with the opera house couIc
account for the very mysterious dis
