Urges Enforcement.

-
think It will be conceded that
we have most excellent vehicle OF.
dinance. and that the same should
be enforced impartlally. 1t is not
an unusual thing to see two or more
large vans driving side by side with
the drivers conversing with one an
other. II is very unusual when one
gives n signal and desires to pass a
vehicle that is ahead for that vehicle
TO turn TO the right. as the law re-
quires. II is rare TO find the heavily
loaded vehicles on the paved streets
tion OF the ordinance is OF consid
cradle Importance. because II you
pull the slow moving vehicles up close
to the curb there is not the danger
TO pedestrians that there Is when
swiftly moving vehicles are near the
curb. Vehicles that travel rapidly
should, so far as possible. take the
right hand OF tho center OF the
street.
For some reason or other the whole
effort Of people seems to be TO en-
force the law against automobiles.
and leave II unenforced with regard
to other vehicles.
Club Ready to Aid.
II is the purpose Of the Automobile
club Of Utah to aid the officers so
far as II Is possible. The members
are particularly desirous of having
the law enforced with regard 10 driv-
ing without lighted lamps after dark.
There Is really more danger from
carelessness In this regard than from
fast driving. II the vehicle Is prop
erly lighted.

continue TO aid us by calling atten-
tion to snv defect In the law, so that
the same may be amended; and also
that IL Will unite with us in our ef-
fort for strict and I'm fio1

rF,om the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton. April 22:-There are
more than 100000 voters in New
Jersey who are not now eligible TO
vote at the Presidential primaries
Nav %, and who will have no Vote
then unless they are registered Dy
q fHdavit before that time. Inc Gerah
election act provides that only
NAV vote at the Presidential dele
gate primaries in May who cast their
ballots at the general election in h
November preceding, or who file al
,fdavits with their respective munlcl-
pal clerks that they are entitled "
vote. There will be no registry lays
for the approaching primary cleo
ton. en-
The voting in New Jersey last fall
was extremely light. The ~aggfeSate
number Of ballots cast was 54o,doo'
In the Presidential election OF lSVo'
when, of course, an unusually heaNy
vote was cast. the aggregate NUMBER
of ballots of all parties was 4oo,SIo.
Comparing these figures, 1t SHOWS
that there were more thai IZ9,OoV
voters who did not cast heir BALLOTS
last November and who, nsequeh
ly cannot vote May %, unless they
register by affidavit.
If the vote of last Nocember De
compared with the election for GOV
ernor in 1910, which also brought
OUT a large vote because of the IN
terest in the campaign, nearly as
great a falling off Is shown. Inc
total vote for Governor In 1871 was
10 900 Thn unto nf 31D b. lHSl
fall, therefore, shows that 95.lz4
voters who voted in 1910 failed 10
cast their ballots.
The only way these voters can be-
come entitled to participate in the
Presidential primaries On May 2S isF
for each one to file an affidavit with
his municipal clerk at least ten days

.EASTON PEOPLE
WERE PLEASED
High Praise for the Lecture
by Dr.. Mcguire.

The lecture of Rev. DR.. Gabriel
Mcguire which he will deliver in the
Baptist church tomorrow night de-
lighted an Easton, Pa, audience re-
Gently. What Easton people think OF
it is best DESCRIBED by the account
of the lecture published In one OF
the newspapers of that city. It was
called, "a lecture full of laughs
and was as followsC
The lecture/by DR.. Gabriel Ma
guire on with an Irishman Through
the Jungles of Africa which con-
Guided the Easton Public Library
course of lectures was a masterpiece
of wit and humor. Never has any
speaker moved an audience gathered
in the auditorium of the library to
such uncontrolled exhibitions of
mirth. His humorous portrayal of
the peace palaver with the heads
man and chiefs of the Waganda
tribe cOnyulsed his hearers with
laughter, as he pictured himself sit
ting for hours cr~oss-legged, playing
an ACCORDION and answering the lu4
dtcrous questions of the savages.
The climax Of the scene, when he
described his sensations on being
compelled to share with the chief
the bowl of peace, a stew of beans
and field rats. which had been ripen-
ing for seven days, can be imagined.
The lecturer also acted out sew
eral of the native witch and war
dances. He stated that the Salome
dance, which he did not give, was a
popular dance in this tribe.
He described most wildly the
mourning ceremonies with which a
chieftain was honored by his half a
hundred or more wives. After
death the chiefs body was suspend
ed from the ridge pole of the tent,
where it slowly reyolved in the
smoke ascending from the fire be-
around which were seated his
wives with their eyes ever fastened
upon him. They had their food
brought to them, and ate without
removing their gaze from his body.
They slept with their head held so
that their eyes on opening would
rest or the mummifying form of
their former lord. They continued,
sleeping and waking, for seven
months thus to show their love and
respect for their dead husband. Lest
any m of the audience might sus-
pect the women Of this tribe of an
incredible capacity for loving, the
Iecturer~added that the witch doctor
was continually watching for stray
ing glances. In which case the faith
less one was buried upright in the
ny to her chin for three days
and then impaled.

Mrs. Douglass of Minneapolis have all
indicated Il Willingness to testify. Sem
ator Smith has also received assur-
ances from Major Arthur Peuchen OF
Toronto that he will appear.
Interest in the investigation at this
stage revolves around the testimony
of Thomas Whitley, a first saloon
ste ward Of the Titanic. Whitley al
leges that Mr.. Murdoch, the first off,
Ger in charge, was warned twenty-five
minutes before the accident that the
Titanic was headed straight for an
iceberg. Moral confirmation Of the
charge is contained Ii the statement
that Mr.. Murdoch shot himself i'm
mediately after the crash. This has
not been verified.
~"Lookouts" Warmed Ships Officers.
Whitley Was at work on the boat
helping to prepare boats for launching
and assisting the passengers. While
at this work, he says, he was accident
ally knocked overheard and succeeded
in swimming TO a small boat near by.
He was pulled aboard this boat, he
says, and there heard the two lookouts
In conversation.
One of them said" ne declared,
that at exactly a quarter after II
o'clock on Sunday night, about twenty
five minutes before the Titanic struck,
he had told the first officer, Mr.. Muir
dock, that he believed he could see an
iceberg ahead. A short time after
ward he reported to the officer again
that another iceber,: seemed to be APP
pearlng out of the darkness ahead. A
third time he saw the outlines of what
seemed to be q mountain of ice, with
the starlight glinting from its surface,
and again reported to the officer, this
time with more assurance, that he
was not mistaken. They declared that
nothing was done"
Whitley Is now In st. Vincent's hos
pital In New York, but the committee
expects to bring him to Washington as
soon rs he is able to travel.
Lewis Klein, a Hungarian member OF
the Tttanic's crew, is another witness
who is expected to give interesting
and sensational testimony.
Quartermaster Hitchins of the II
tanic, who was arrested on the Lap
land as she sailed from New York, will
be closely examined by the committee.
The French ambassador called on
Senator Smith to commend the COM
mittee for its diligence in pushing the
pending inquiry and to assure him of
willingness on the part of the French
government to cooperate with >the
United States to prevent a recurrence
of such disaster.
Secretary of the Navy Meyer also
conferred with Senator Smith and it Is
believed will order the wireless opera
tors and officers of the cruiser Chester
to appear before the committee. The
operator on the Chester is regarded as
the most efficient wireless man in the
service.
