William S. Duvall attorney for the as
ISOLATION, to whom the proposed bill was
referred for legal advice by the associa-
ton. in a statement today said. in part:
THE Commissioners of the District Of
Columbia have presented to Congress for
Its consideration. and have urged the
enactment OF. bill authorizing them to
regulate the licensing. registration and
trict Of Columbia. Under the provisions
of this proposed law no motor vehicle
can be operated in the District of Co.
lumbia after the first day of January.
1914. unless the owner and driver COM
ply with the regulations issued by the
Commissioners under the authority of this
act. The proposed law by its terms in
cludes all vehicles propelled by power
other than muscular except traction en-
gines. railways, fire engines and APP
paratus. police patrol wagons and am
balances, steam railroad cars. street rail-
way cars and such other vehicles as run
only upon rails and tracks Therefore

cember 81. 1913.
Power Of Commissioners.
1.-The Commissioners are by the act
empowered and authorized to make,
change: alter and amend such regulations
as they may deem necessary to govern
the registration licensing and operation
of motor vehicles. including regulations
of the speed and the licensing OF auto
mobile operators, and to nix and change
from time to time an annual registration
fee for motor vehicles.
1T is to be noted that by the terms of
this act no restrictions whatever are
placed upon the Commissioners au-
thority and the regulations under which
automobiles may be operated and the
speed at which they may be operated may
be restricted to any extent thought
proper by the Commissioners. So. also, ii
is true with regard to the annual regis
tration fee for motor vehicles and motor
vehicle drivers.
such arbitrary power placed in the
hands Of the Commissioners of the Dis
trict Of Columbia has never before been
encountered. In all of the powers here
tofore delegated to the Commissioners
they have been restricted to usual and
reasonabl exercise OF such powers"

THE PLAZA


With the prevailing policy of moth
ing too good for Bridgeport, the first
three days bill at The Plaza theatre
is more than keeping up the high STAN
dard of attractions. The headline at
traction for the first half of the week
Is t'The Death Wheel and for real
thriller nothing can eclipse this won
derful and most marvellous exhibition
of dexterity and nerve raking per-
Torrance.
To augment the bill the first three
days five other acts of a very high
calfbre are on the program, Duke
Darling 1.-The Man With the Green
Cloves entertains with his own ORR
gina1 mono1ogue and judging from re-
ports from other centers he is sure to
be received most favorably.
Harry Fem Dalton in a musical
novelty teeming with bright roper
torres of selections from operate to a
popular strain is another addition
which will readily find favor. Others
on this bill are The Shelbys in a
laughing skit built for laughing pur-
poses only. Waldo in a sensa tiona1
contortionl display and Howard I-inder
in an exhileratin diversity entitled
LAS My Father Used to Say The
films De'Art have never been seen in
