NEW YORK AUTO LAW A FARCE
Intoxicated Chauffeur Could Not Be
Punished Because He Did Not
Have Money to Pay Fine.

New York, n. Y.-Declaring the
C7uav automobile law is a humbug,
Justice Steinhert was forced to allow
Arthur J. Marley, a chauffeur, to go
free, although Monday he had SEN
fenced the same man to year in the
penitentiary for having operated an
automobile while intoxicated.
Warleys lawyer pointed out that
the Imprisonment was not legal and
the court could only fine the prisoner
s25. The court did this, but imme-
diately the lawyer pointed out that
while the Callan law says the fine
should be S25, there is no alternative,
and therefore his client, not having
S25, should be discharged.

The next step was the decisive bat
tie on the line from Lule Burgas to

There, again, superiority of num-
bers, as well as organization, count
ed; that superiority, which makes a
heavy turning movement possible
while the enemy's front is engaged
In short, the Bulgarians had the
Turks going. They gave the Turks
no rest, and they had a sufficient nu-
merical prepOnderance, in addition to
the dependable courage of their in
fantry to guarantee success.
So there was nothing wonderful
about the sire tegy of the campaign,
nothing new, nothing startling, The
old principle Of the swift turning
movement had been applied to the sit
uation i'm hand
BY the flank the Japanese kept put
ting the Russians back from the Yalu

There was just one, and only one,
startling feature in this war-Bulgari-
an courage That enabled Demetrieff
to gain at Kirk Killisseh and Lule
Burgas in a hurry what with most
armies would have required much
more time.
Demctrieff had willing flesh for q
necessary sacrifice, He threw his in
fantry against frontal positions in a

gun fire. without waiting to silence

FRANCE TO ELECT NEW PRESl-
DENT NEXT MONTH.
Among the Few Known Candidates Is
Alexandra Ribot, Who Has an
American Wife.

Paris, FranCe-Four weeks hence
France will have elected new presi-
dent, who, unless something unfore-
seen happens, will continue in Office
for a term of seven years. NJ, F'al-
Heres the present holder of the office,
has made all preparations for retire
ment, and has engaged modest apart
ments not far from the American en-
bassy. He expects to divide his time
between Paris and his little estate
Loupillon, in southern France, where
he produces in his vineyards about
900 casks of wine yearly.
To those who are accustomed to
the feverish activity, aggressive cam
paigning and intense public excite
ment invariably preceding a presiden-
tial election in the United States, the
universal apathy and complete lack OF
interest in the coming election, as
displayed throughout France, would
be a surprise and disappointment.
But il must be remembered that in
France the president is not elected by
the people, as in the United States,
but by the senate and the chamber of
deputies, meeting in joint session as
national assembly at Versailles, Jan
uary II, once every seven years.
Among those who fit into this class
and who may be therefore considered
as possible candidates, Paul Descha.

one of its bright lights for % years,

years of age and his family has

from the senate is Alexandra Ribot,
three times premier and man held
in high esteem. His wife was Miss
Mary Burch of Chicago and she has
assisted him much in his public ca
reer. NJ. Ribot is nearly II years old.
Other candidates are the president of

NJ. FALLERES To RETIRE S. P. TO BUILD NEW LINE

U. S. Supreme Courts Decision on
Merger Of Southern and Union
Pacific Caused Move.

San Francisco, Cal-The Chron.
iCle says that the Southern Pacific
company finally has acquired the last
right of way for low grade line over
the Tehachapi mountains between Mo.
jave and Kern City. The line, which
will be begun Immediately, calls for
an expenditure of $1O,OOO,0O0. The
United States supreme courts recent
decision on the merger on the South
ern and Union Pacific railroads is di-
rectly responsible, according to the
Chronicle, for the building of the new
line.
The building of the low grade track
is expected to bring about a vigorous
fight between the Southern Pacific
and the Santa Fe for transCOntinental
business. At present these lines have
joint use of the only track over the
! Tehachapi The Southern Pacific
owns the present high grade line and
for several years It has planned to
double It, That purpose has now been
abandoned in favor of the low grade
project
To have the right of ownership OF
the new line, the Southern Pacific has
decided, according to the Chronicle, to
shut out the Santa Fee from participa-
ton in the cost of construction and
will endeavor to force the Santa Fe to
abide by its terms as to the use Of
the track.
