To Arrest Unlicensed Chauf-
feurs.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 13.-Life
will soon be a burden to the poor
automobile owner who has fail
ed to provide himself with a IL
cense for this year, or who en-
ploys an unlicensed chauffeur.
Rueben G.. Dye, head of the
State Highway Commission,
which now has the issuing of
the state licenses, has received
a letter from q constable at Hot
Springs who asks if he cannot
arrest the owners of machines
who run them without a display
of the state tags.
Commissioner Dye has in
formed the constable to go as
far as he can get away with,
and if he can have owners of UNI
licensed cars fined, it will be
just that much in assisting the
department to enforce the law.
The automobile act provides for
the seizure of unlicensed cars by
sheriffs, and their sale if the
owner fails to comply with the
law, but Commissioner Dye
could find nothing about arrests.
He is certain the fines, if i'm
posed, will be upheld by the
higher courts and for that rea-
son told the constable to pro-
coed with his warfare.

afternoon.
Notwithstanding the fact that the mil

night with guns loaded and each equipped
with sixty rounds of ammunition their
stay was pleasant and not even single
shot was fired during their encampmcnt.
1t has proved. in fact rather a pleas

boys, according to the statements Of some
of them, had expected to find the city in
turmoil of excitement. but in this they
were entirely disappointed. probably
aggreably so to most of them. Not a
more tranquil population could have
been found anywhere than that Of both
Brownsville and MatamOrOs.
The only incident that marred the stay
of the militia in this city occurred this
morning during the loading. A sergeant
is said TO have been struck over the head
with q pistol during an argument with a
superior officer. and a bad wound re
