 the Coming Week.

EDWARD BOLTON JAMES.
 New York, Jan. 15.-Edward Holton James owner of the Liberator, a Paris publication, expresses belief in his ability to convince the United States government that Edward J. Mylius, who is being detained at the Ellis Island Emmigrant Station, should not be barred from the United States. The objection to Mylius is that he served year in an English prison after he had been convicted of labelling King George. As London correspodent he wrote a article for the LiberatOr, telling of morganatic marriage con- tracted by the British monarch James, who was born in Michigan and is a Harvard graduate, declares Mylius was wrongfully imprisoned and should not be deported He says King George as a citizen prosecuted Mylius but did not appear in court nor make an affidavit.

NEW EXCISE BOARD
is WITHOUT home
Congress Failed to Appropriate
Funds for Salaries and Also
Overlooked Offices.

Not only is the new Excise Board
without salaries. but 1t Is without n
home. Congress. in passing the excise
bill. failed to make any appropriations
for carrying 1t into effect and over
looked entirely the fact that office
rooms are necessary for the use of the
board. To remedy the situation the
Commissioners have sent to Congress a
deficiency estimate OF 1920 for the pay
ments OF the salaries of the members
for the first year, but the question of
their location is still undecided.
For a week or more the Commits
sioners have endeavo-ed to find room
in the District Building for the new
board. but owing to the limitations of
space their efforts have failed.
The Offices of the present board can
not be utilized. as they are occupied by
the Assessor and the Board Of Assistant
Assessors, by whom the old excise law
was administered.
Until permanent quarters are provided
the new board probably will be given
a corner of the board room In the Dis
trict Building, in which are held the
public hearings Of the Board of Com
missioners and Public Utilities Commits
sion. The Excise Board will also use
this room for public hearings.

A New Signaling System
For Motor Car Drivers

Here Is . good tip on signaling that
might well be observed by both
automobile driver and pedestrian:
When approaching Z street crossing
always slow up, and If you intend
to drive straight ahead give one
long toot of the horn. If you in
tend to turn off north, south, east
or west, indicate that purpose by
giving Z number of short blasts
Of the horn. The pedestrian who
Is about to step off the curb viii
b attracted by the sharp toots
and remain on the sidewalk. Ae.
cidents will be reduced to q mini.
mum. The public will quickly
learn the meaning Of the horn,
and their lives viii be further safe
guarded. The rapidly growing
antagonism to the motor car be-
cause Of unscrupulous drivers viii
be gradually tempered. The horn

an automobiles ofttimes used

cannot be too severely frowned upon
or condemned. It should always be
borne in mind that the fowl may be

some ones pet and delight. SUCH ac-
cidents Of the road are sometimes un /.

sake OF the car passengers.
Skidding Worst.
Probably the most prolific source
Of accidents Is skidding. and many Of
these are avoidable II the driver
knows and really directs his car. II
the car starts to skid on q wet or
sandy roadway, 1t Is suicide to apply
the brakes suddenly or attempt to
stubbornly tight It. The inevitable re-
suit will be that the car will turn
turtle, especially II the sliding wheels
happen to encounter an obstruction.
even though IT & be such a slight one

such cases ID. the instant that the side

the fnish. Cases have been known
where a skidding car on wet and slip
perry asphalt has turned completely
around four times in almost Its own
length. Had the brakes been suddenly
applied It must inevitably have turned
turtle.
