CALIFORNIA new AUTO LAWS

The session Of the California Legisla-
ture just ended created in addition to
the widely discussed alien land bill, a
measure completely remodelling the

assumes more than ordinary impor-

Under new law which has just been
signed by Gov. Johnson new license
system is established new rules Of the
road created and radical departure
made, at least so far as western states
are concerned, by tran sferring the is
suing of licenses from the Secretary of
State to the State Engineer.
Another notable feature of the new
law is its provision regarding the auto
mobile warning signal BY its enact
ment California becomes the first state
to legally define what constitutes an
adequate signal, and also to make I'M
lawful the use of all signals "for any
purpose except as warnings of danger"
The law provides that every motor
vehicle shall be equipped with signal
ing device" capable of emitting an
abrupt sound, adequate in quality and
volume to give warning of the approach
of such vehicle"
This section Of the law was framed
only after most careful consideration of
the subject by representatives of motor
organizations and others, and study
of the regulations in force in the larger
cities throughout the country.
The topography of the state and it's
widely varying road conditions made
the question Of the warning signal an

Report From Omaha.

Lincoln, Neb., March 24.-At least
one hundred persons were killed,
from three to four hundred were in
| iured and hundreds of thousands OF
dollars worth of property damage
sustained in the Omaha tornado, ac-
cording to meager reports received
here All wire communication ~
broken.
| Because Of the debris in the streets,
the firemen were unable to respond
to all alarms and many houses which
caught fire after the storm were al
lowed to burn themselves out. Sol
diers from Fort Omaha were called
to assist the police in protecting the
zone which was placed practically
under martial law.
Whole blocks of houses were pick
ed up and dashed into shapeless
mass.
The villages of Benson, Dundee
and Florence and other portions or
suburban omaha were practically de-
stroyed.
The Diamond moving picture the

Mayor Dahlman wired Governor
Morehead shortly after midnight for

INDIANS INCOME, $4,000 MONTH
Eastman Edwards Gets More from Oil
Royalties than Presidents Salary.

Muskogee, Okla, March ga
contest for a lease on the land of
Eastman Edwards of Eufaula, Okla,
has brought to light the fact that
Edwards income from oil royalties
makes Woodrow Wilson's $4,000 a
year salary and his $4,000 expense
account look like the small change
of a piker. Eastman Edwards, by al
lotment and inheritance, fell into pos.
session of the two best tracts Of
land in the Cushing oil pool, and his
average income on royalties alOne
exceeds $4,000 a month. AS this sum
is only one-eighth of the money pro.
duced by Edwards 800 acres, it will
be seen that the amount contested
for in the oil lease case is not to be
sneeze1 at.
Edwards royalty income in Janu-
airy, according to the records of the
United States Indian agent, was SILL.
600. in February it jumped to $12.-
500 and this month it will be in eX.
cess of $4,000, as ten new produc-
ing wells have been brought in on
the land this month.
Edwards admits that he does not
know what to do with his income.
But he is not worrying much, for
Uncle Sam is taking care of it for
him. He is given enough money to
spend, however, to make the famous
Coal Oil Johnny look like a tout at
Brighton Beach. 1t is conceded that
Edwards owns the best producing oil
lands in Oklahoma and his income
for the year alone will exceed $l25.-
600.
