MOTORISTS OPPOSE
PROPOSED RULING
Meeting Of Washington Auto
mobile Owners Is Poorly
Attended.
By HARRY WARD.

At a meeting of the Washington Mo-
torists' Association, held last night at
the Grafton and attended by less than
twelve motorists, denunciation Of the
automobile bill proposed by the Com
missioners. was made by w. S. Duvall.
counsel for the association. Some fea-
lures Of the new traffic regulations,
particularly the regulation compelling
motorists to stop their cars fifteen feet
behind street cars. taking on or let
ting off passengers, were also attacked
by Duvall. He expressed the opinion
that the latter clause was not valid.
Attorney Duvall read a letter he had
addressed to Senator John Walter
Smith, chairman of the Senate Dis
trict Committee. asking for a hearing
on the proposed bill when 1t came be-
quest" said Mr.. DuvaI, lis based on
the fact that Congress has never placed
in the hands Of the Commissioners such
unrestricted power as is carried by
this bill. Furthermore. to annually tax
as well as unnecessary hardship on
local owners who. by reason Of the re-
strfcted territory Of the District are
now compelled to take out annual IL
censes IN the States Of Maryland and
virginia.
There are many other reasons for
rejecting this proposed bill 1t IS
apparent to those familiar with the
situation that this bill Is aimed to
give the Commissioners the right to
make laws that will retaliate against
the citizens Of Maryland.
Il submit these facts with the hope
that you will decline to present the
bill, but, II In your wisdom You decide
to do 50. that you will let the motorists
have a full and fair hearing with a
view to offering amendments that will
tend to limit the power of the Commits
sioners. To delegate such unlimited
power to a possible incumbent on the
Board Of Commissioners, one opposed
to automobiles, would about end the
automobile industry in SO far as the
District Is concerned"
The association took no action, owing
to the small attendance Of members.
'It is rather discouraging to attempt
to make any fight In behalf Of the mo-
torists Of Washington" said Secretary
John K. Heyl. For some reason or
other the automobile owners do not
take any interest in matters that VI
tally affect their interests. However,
the association Is going ahead with its
work, and We hope to secure better
support in the future"
II the association can secure enough
automobiles II is planned to give the
orphans of the city an automobile ride
some day this month. A committee on
arrangements was appointed, consist

STRASBURGER, HEAD
OF MERCHANTS, QUITS
Action Ends Controversy Over
Statement to Wilson That
Clerks Do Not Pay.

The heated controversy regarding the
clerks that came near disrupting the
Retail, Merchants Association has come
to a sudden end with the resignation
OF Joseph Strasburger as president OF
the association.
r. p. Andrews, who has been first
vice president since the association was
founded. and one Of the most active
agents in its upbuilding, was unani-
mously chosen president. NJ. A. Leese
was promoted from treasurer to first
vice president. Isaac Cans. second vice
president. E. c. Graham. treasurer.
The meeting Of the board Of COVER
nors,; at which the change of officers
took place. was q regularly scheduled
meeting. but went into executive ses-
sion. 1t IL understood. however. that
Mr.. Strasburger simply presented his
resignation. made q brief remark and
left the hall.
He stated today that he will continue
to be member of the board Of gov
ernors. and that his interest in the as
sociation will remain.
Il am just as interested in the asso-
c1atton az ever was, and will continue
to do whatever I can to help it." de-
clared Mr.. Strasburger.
The change Of officers is the culmina-
ton Of a fight among members Of the
association that has been brief but seri-
Gus. causing the outright resignation
from the association Of such firms as
.. J. Kaufman, Kings Palace. and
Goldenberg's.
It began when the board Of governors
ordered q letter sent to President VIII
son complaining that Government
clerks. or many Of them, do not pay
their bills. and asking that he lay the
to anordtng the merchants projections.
Fulton R Gordon came out in an open
letter to the President. championinS the
clerks and declaring their credit Is as
good az that Of any class In the city.
Mr.. StrasburgeF was then quoted in
an interview In another newspaper,
which he has since declared was mis-
leading and did not reflect his true SEN
timents.
Mr.. Strasburger left town before the
interview was published. and immedi-
ately upon his return turned In his
resignation a. president OF the associa-
ton.

Lfahtnina Shuns Women.

Statistics appear to show that men
are more likely to be struck by light
ming than women. more than two men
being killed by it for every woman.
But a London journal points out that
the mans occupation is more likely to
take him into the open when lightning
is about. 1t has been observed, how
ever, that in a group equally compos-
ed of both sexes lightning seems to
prefer the men, and we may theorize
at pleasure as to whether it Is the
comparive height that does it or some
protection afforded by the woman'g
dress or difference in conductibility
between the sexes. The fact that chill
dren are seldom killed by lightning
supports to a certain extent the first
of these theories.
