Denver.-The autoists OF Denver
are being warned by. city patrolmen
to secure tags under the new state
motor vehicle law. Motorists who
have not secured the licenses are
subject to fines and will be prose-
cuted. About 5000 autoists in the city
have secured the new tags but there
are about an equal number who have
not Those not obtaining the licenses
II arrested will be subjected to fines
of s25 for first offenses and $3.50 for
second offenses.
THE new motor vehicle law, under
which the tags are issued, is a help
to the motorists said Secretary OF
State Pearce. ut gives the holders of
state licenses the right to drive on all
highways and in all cities Of the state.
Moreover the license is a compare
lively low one. The state of Vermont
charges a fee o. 81 a horsepower.
New York. The fees, graduated ac-
cording to horsepower, average s5 for
license. We expect to give a rea-
sonable time to motorists to secure
the licenses. Dut after that the law
will be rigidly enforced"
Half the money obtained from auto
fines goes to the state for use in
building roads. and half to the county
for a similar purpose. Secretary
Pearce estimates that if the law had
gone into effect four years ago road
building fund of s250.00O would have
been secured by the present time.

of the man who overthrow the Diaz
government, will be called before the
Senate foreign relations committee to
give testimony regarding the arrest

spring. They will refute the state
ment of conditions submitted to Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan by
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, and
give their version of the events which
led to Madero's death after General
Huerta had assumed the presidency.
With Americans out of Mexico the
United States government would
feel less responsibility for the prog
ress of events there and would as
sumo the role of an observer rather
than participant. the latter position
being one which. despite strong ef-
forts from many quarters. it is fairly
well determined President Wilson
will not countenance.
