RULING ON SPEED OF AUTOS
Cities Can Not Enforce Lower Stand
ard Than the State Limit of
10 Miles an Hour.

Madison.-That a city or village
may not pass an ordinance limiting
the speed of automobiles within such
corporation to eight miles an hour
or to any other speed less than pre-
scribed by the general law of the
state, namely fifteen miles an hour,
is held in an opinion by Atty.-Gen.
Bancroft to Secretary of State Frear
s'It is well established" says the
attorney general ,''that a common
council of a city cannot, in the exer-
else of it's legislative grant, enact
ordinances which are in conflict with
tn claws of the state
Then, too, it is pointed out that
the law regulating the speed of au-
tomobiles specifically provides that
the provisions of the law ''shall be
uniform in operation throughout the
state, and no city, village, county,
town, park board or other local au-
thority shall lhaye power to enact,
pass, enforce or maintain any ordi-
nance, resolution, rule or regulation
requiring local registration or other
requirement inconsistent Herewith. y

SEPARATE SUFFRAGE BALLOT
Bancroft Holds the Proposed Con-
stitutional Amendment in a
Glass by Itself.

Madison.-Attorney General Ban
croft rules that the constitutional
amendment granting the right of suf-
frage to women must go to vote
of the people on a separate ballot,
and that all other amendments to be
voted on at the November election
must be placed on the general bal
lot below the names of the candi-
dates. The ruling is based on chap
tiers 633 and 665. laws of 1911.
Chapter 6S3 provides that all consti-
tutional amendments shall be sub
mitted on separate ballots and the
attorney general holds that this gem
eral law applies to the equal suf-
frage amendment. Chapter 665
names specifically three other amend
ments which must be voted on in
November and states expressly that
these amendments shall be placed on
the general ballot.

DR.. sun REPORTED
KILLED IN PEkIN
Done to Death Under Orders OF
Yuan Shi Kai, Is Story.
REPORT IS NOT CONFIRMED
Attempts to Verify News in Pekin,
Where Tragedy Was Reported as
Occurring, Brings Only Indefinite
Answers.

San Francisco, Aug. 20.-Dr. Sun
Vat Sen, who melted and led the
revolution in China. was assassinated
in Pekin, according to an uncon-
firmed report in local Chinese circles.
He was done to death by soldiers
supposedly acting under orders from
President Yuan Shi Kai for whom
Sun Vat Sen, acting as provisional
president, willingly withdrew.
The two enterprising Chinese
newspapers here say they have re-
ceived no news of the attack upon
DR.. Sun
Nevertheless the report has been
conveyed to DR.. Suns children, who
are on the Pacific coast. 1t caused
great excitement when placarded in
Chinatown and several cablegrams
were sent to Pekin to which no def
mite answers have been received.
The report persists. 1t is added
that DR.. Sun when he met his death
had arrived at Pekin from Shanghai.
He sought to prevent excuses by the
republican troops because of the exc
cution of Gen. Chank Chen WI and
Weng Wi. The execution, was order
ed by Yuan Shi Kai, it appears, who
now breads that he will be i'm
peached by the advisory council or
assassinated.
