When Is aChauffeur?
Puzzle Solved by New
York State Official
Vexatious Question Settled by
Ruling Handed Down to
Anxious Public.

NEW YORK, March 12.-when is a
chauffeur?
At last the problem is solved, at least
in one state. A letter from Mitchell
May. secretary of state Of New York
to one of the automobile companies
gives the correct definition as follows:
"The law defines chauffeur as any
person who operates a motor vehicle as
an employee or for hire. If the opera
ton of a motor vehicle by a salesman
is merely incidental to his duties, and
not necessary part of them, he does
not need a chauffeurs license; however.
If driving is part of his duties. then he
must have a chauffeur's license. A per-
son can drive a friends car, providing
he does not come under the above def
milton of a chauffeur, is over eighteen
years of age and does not have exclu-
sive use of the motor vehicle for a
period of over 80 days"

OLNEy CHOSEN
DESPITE BRYAN
Post of Ambassador to Great
Britain Offered to Him Over
SeCretary's Head.

WASHINGTON. March 12.-It is
learned definitely that the delay in
sending the name of Richard Olney to
the senate as ambassador to the court
of St. James is caused by the failure
of that distinguished court to reply TO
inquiries as to whether Mr. Olney will
be acceptable II favorable report is
received Mr.. Olneys name will go in
over the head of Secretary of State
Bryan, and there is little doubt of his
confirmation
It is notable that Mr. Olney, a gold
Democrat, and twice bitterly opposed
10 Mr.. Bryan as a presidential candi-
date, mas been chosen by Mr.. Wilson in
defiance of his announcement that all
diplomatic appointments would be left
to the secretary of state
Mr.. Bryan has refused to admit that
Mr.. Olney had been chosen for the post,
twice making what amounted to abso-
lutte denials.
Bryan Hates Olney
The president has said nothing for
publication about the matter but those
in his counsel say that he had long ago
made up his mind that Mr. Ofney was
the right man for the place and that it
made no difference to him what Mr..
Bryan thought about it.
Mr.. Bryan hates Mr. Olney for the
very good and sufficient reason that
during the campaign of 1900 Mr.. Olney
said:
Il need hardly say that Mr.. Bryan is
not the candidate | should choose could
] have my way in the matter, and that
] entirely dissent from parts of the
Kansas City platform.
Perfection in a candidate or plat
form is an idle dream, and infirmities
in it's creeds and defects in its leader
ship will always characterize every
party"
The Campaign of 1908.
During the campaign Mr., Olney said:
"Bryan's views may be wrong, but
they are not new. II is not unthink-
able that Mr.. Bryan's habits, training
and career have not qualified him to
estimate wisely the true place and vital
importance of the injunction power as
vested in English and American courts"

S1O0, and a Chicot county special school district tax.
 The most interesting thing of the afternoon was when the Sen ate was considering the Pickin- sen House bill prohibiting the sale Of soft drinks within a cer- tam distance of meetings for pub llc worship. This was read twice and Senator Covington asked that it be sent to the committee on Militia. Objection was raised to this and it was suggested that the Temperance committee was more proper. Senator CovingtOn asked who was on the Temper ance committe, and Senator Ja- cobson replied that he was a member, and Covington consent ed to such a reference, while the Senate indulged in good laugh all round.
 The balance of the afternoon the Senate considered such mat ters as passing an act to prevent hsh being caught in Lake Enter prise, Ashley county, with any thing but hook, not more than 50 in one day by one person and all fish less than 6 inches n length to be thrown back into the lake.
 The Senate has begun to adopt the same tactics as the House. The Senate has been rushing To- cal matters thru without refer erence to committees, merely up on the acceptance of responsibil- ity by the members who intro duce them, and when these local bills reached the House they were referred to committees. Th e Senate is now doing likewise with House measures which are reported in that body.
 Through an adverse report by the Judiciary committee, the Greenhouse anti-lobby bill was killed.
