AUT0ISTS WANT
ROADS IMPROVED
MANY COMPLAINTS OVER BAD
PLACES IN PUBLIC
THOROUGHFARES.
Also Object to Condition OF Some Of
City's Streets-Bsd Crossing
on Main Street

During the past few weeks many
complaints have been made by auto
lists regarding a number of bad places
In the roads leading into this city.
Objections have also been made re-
sarding the condition OF some OF
Wheeling's streets. and car owners
n have occasion 10 use these thor
o~ughfares are urging that they be re-
paired before they become worse.
One OF the streets most complained
OF Is North Main street. between FIRST
and Ninth streets. II is claimed that
several large holes in the pavement
are dangerous TO machines and make
riding very unpleasant. Eom street
In South Wheeling is also in bad con
dition.
Many complaints have been made
regarding the crossing Of the b. a
o. Railroad Company at Sixteenth
and Main streets. The pavement has
sunk away from the rails several
inches. making the crossing very
rough. According 20 n city ordi
nance. II is the duty OF the railroad
company TO keep the crossing In a
level with the street. The rails
raised above the pavement are very
hard on tires.
Perhaps the orst place IN the
roads leading into town Is in the Ma
tional pike beyond Bridgeport. near
the foot OF the St. Clairsville hill
There are several bad holes. Il is
claimed. making the road almost i'm
passable. Another bad place in the
National road IS az the foot OF what
IS commonly called Chicken Neck
hill. near Altenheim.
The county commissioners recently
repaired a rough place in the road
at Altenheim near its junction with

A prediction made some years ago

true.
n growth OF the automobile has
oeen limited by two things: first. cost.

But the motorcycle costs about half
the price of even a cheap auto

Naturally. therefore. the first de-

PRESIDENT Of CHINA
FIGHTS PARLIAMENT
Three Hundred Deputies Ex-
PEELED, Peking Under
Martial Law.

PICKING, November 5.--The struggle
between the Chinese parliament and
President Yuan Shi Kai has brought
about drastic action by the president.
which. in the opinion of many, will have
serious effect on parliamentary govern
ment. Lengthy presidential proclama-
tons were issued at midnight expelling
the Kwo Ming Tang party. numbering
more than 800 deputies, from parliament.
The proclamations recount the difficult
ties with which the government has been
struggling since the Manchu regime and
describe disasters which are. declared Ger
tain if parties such as the kwo Ming
Tang are permitted to exist.
Friends of DR.. Sun.
The Kwo Ming Tang party was for
merly headed by DR.. Sun Kat Sen, the
first provisional president of China, who
is now in exile. but during the recent re-
bellion was required by Yuan Shi kai to
dismiss its southern leaders. Neverthe.
less members Of the party continued to
fight in parliament for the ourtailmen,
of Yuan Shi kaf'S authority.
A crisis was reached last week, when
the draft of the proposed constitution
made the president absolutely dependent
upon the parliament.
Martial law is in operation in Picking,
the authorities are engaged In making
arrests, and summary executions. which
have been numerous since the rebellion
began, it is understood will continue.
Disruption Feared.
Preparations are under way for the
elder statesmen who served under the
Manchus to resume their positions in the
cabinet. At various legations the opin-
ion is held that only by strong action can
the president prevent the disruption of
China by her own people.

UPHOLDS VALIDITY Of
BUILDING REGULATIONS
Judge MuIIoWny 0verruIes De-
murrer Filed in Case of
Clinton c. Smithson.

| In a written opinion handed down to.
day. Judge MulloWny, sitting in the Dis
| trict of Columbia branch of the Police
| Court, upheld the validity of the building
regulations of the District In doing sc
the judge overruled a demurrer filed by
Attorney George C. Gertman, filed in the
case of Clinton C. Smithson, who is
charged with violating two sections OF
these regulations
Attorney Gertman Immediately noted
an exception to the ruling, and will apply
for writ Of error In order to carry the
question of the validity of the regulations
to the Court of Appeals. A few weeks
ago Judge Mullowny overruled motion
filed by Mr.. Gertman in the same case
to quash the information, and the demur-
rer was then filed.
The claim was made by Assistant Cor
poratiOn Counsel Malcolm X. Narnell
that as the Commissioners are officers of
the municipality having the power to
make regulations. this implies a power to
enforce them by criminal prosecutions.
Il can find no authority or precedent
sustaining this proposition" Judge Null
lowry says. in the opinion 1T is true
that municipal corporations having the
power to make bylaws have the implied
power to enforce them by fines, but it
by civil proceedings.
Quotes Appellate Decision.
The judge then points out that, I'M
der Court of Appeals decision, it was
decided that the Commissioners are
only the executive organs of the mu-
nicipality, and that Congress has re-
served to itself the power of legisla-
ton, and even the power of making
| municipal ordinances, thus denying
again the contention Of implied power
to make regulations vested in the Com
missioners.
An order of the Commissioners made
January % last, Judge Mullowny points
out. announced that the building regu-
latfons were made by them under tn e
authority of the act of Congress of
June IA, 1873. The judge then cites the
circumstances in the Mertz case. in
which the Court of Appeals overruled
q claim that the regulation under
which Mertz was convicted was IN
reasonable and therefore void
In commenting on this case the
Court of Appeals said the building
| regulations may be classed. in many re-
spects, with the police reguIa tons
Powers Vested in Commissioners.
Judge Mullowny then said that the joint
resolution Of Congress OF 1892 includes in
its scope of power conferred on the Com
nissioners the power to make building
regulations, and that the act of Congress
Of 1878 gives them the additional power
to make these regulations. and give them
the same force and effect as If enacted by
Congress.
Judge Mullowny admits, as Attorney
Gertman contended, that the questions
involved in this case were not raised in
the Mertz case. but adds: 1T is to be
presumed that the Court of Appeals. in
upholding the validity of the regulations.
considered these questions incidentally.
In view of this decision, it is my opin-
ion that I should decide in favor of the
regulations. and the demurrer is over
ruled" Judge Mullowny concludes.

Costs $4,000 Annually.

1t is estimated that to supply correct
addresses costs the postal department
about $4,000 annually in Chicago alone.
This is in addition to the expense of re-
handling, forwarding and returning d
large percentage of this mail. The vol
ume has increased to such proportion as
to seriously impair the efficiency of the
service, especially since the inauguration
of the parcel post service.
