LETTER
BY SEC'Y OF STATE
EXPLAINS AUTO LAW

Hon. Joseph E. Alexander of Rich
mond, the secretary of State, is send
ing out the following letter to auto
mobile dealers;
Dear Sir:
1 am enclosing you copy of an
opinion from the attorney generals de-
partment in relation to the interpre-
tation of the automobile law.
strict compliance of it will I'M
doubtedly prevent many Of the uses
to which dealers now put their cars
but against which there is very lit
tie objection. However, so many
practices in the past in relation to the
use of cars under the so-called deal
er's registration have grown up that
were never contemplated by the stat
ute, that it has seemed to this depart
ment advisable to issue the following
instructions as to certain cases in par
ticular in which compliance with the
law will be required.
First: No cars of a dealer, or garage
keeper, let for hire will be considered as
registered under Section OF the motor
vehicle law, but an owners license in all
such cases will be required under Sec
ton s.
Second: Private cars in garages for
repairs will not be considered as register
ed under a dealers license and can only
be operated on the street, even for test
ing purposes, under an owners license
obtained under Section s.
Three: A car sold by dealer is reg
istered under his dealers license until
delivered to the owner; If purchaser re-
sides at a distant point, the dealers Ii
cense is sufficient, If driven by the deal
er's employee; not sufficient, if accepted
by purchaser as dealers garage, and
driven away by purchaser.
Four: Any car operated for CONNER
cial purposes, as for instance, in connec-
ton with hotels. or with any CONNER
cial business cannot be properly regis
tered under a dealers license. Owner 5
license must be obtained in all such
cases.
Fifth: This department will not in
sist on registration of cars owned by
dealers under Section and used
wholly in connection with their bus
mess, or for the dealers personal use,
unless let or used for hire, nor, unless
complaint is made, of dealers car
used for towing purposes.
Sixth: Automobiles used by K. r.
d. carriers can only be operated when
registered by the owner under Sec
ton s. A dealers license is not
proper method of registering such
cars.
Very respectfully,
]. e. ALEXANDER,
Secretary of State.

POLICE SWOOP DOWN ON
SuFFRAGIST STRONGHOLD

London. May 24-The police mo-
mentarily took the offensive Saturday
in the war between the twentieth
Century F'uries," as the suffragettes
are now called, and the authorities.
The offices of the Women's Social
and Political Union, the militant body,
were the object of raid IN search
of information as to the inner work
irgs of the organization, which would
enable the police to strike hard blow
at the authors of the frequent out
RACES. Incidentally it was hoped that
the police might find there the eof-
fers of the society. whose seizure
would cripple the efforts of the mill
tants. Since the last raid, however,
1t is understood no money had been
kept at headquarters.
After thoroughly ransacking the
rooms, the police let all the officials
go except one woman.
There was no disturbance inside the
building, but a Suffragette who ar
rived during the raid assaulted po-
liceman, and appeared to be greatly
aggrieved when he declined 10 arrest
her. The public outside was distinctly
hostile to the women, but large
force of policemen protected them
Soon after the onslaught by the po-
lice the militants' reply came in the
shape of several serious outrages, in
Guiding the destruction of the por-
trait of King George at Edinburgh,
an attempt to cut off the water sup
ply of Glasgow and an act of vandal-
ism at the British Museum.
In Edinburgh a picture of King
George V by John Lavery in the Roy
al Scottish Academy here, was hacked
by Suffragette.
The woman, who used a Ratchet
smashed the glass of the picture and
made a cash several inches in length
in the canvas. When arrested she re-
fused to give her name.
Frida Graham, the militant Suffra-
gette who Friday slashed several val
liable paintings in the National Art
gallery, was Saturday committed for
trial after a hearing at the police
court.
The accused kept up a continual
TRADE from the prisoners enclosure
and was held fast by two policemen
throughout the proceedings.

VIM. 0, BRADLEY
j. S. SENATOR
FROM KENTUCKY
DIES SATURDAY

Washington, May 24.--William o.
Bradley, United States senator from
Kentucky, died here Saturday night
at 9.45 after a lingering illness ag-
gravated by a fall.
Senator William o. Bradley was one
Of the most distinguished Republican
leaders of Kentucky. An orator Of UNI
usual ability, for 40 years he had been
prominent before the people of his
state and the nation.
Born in 1s47, he was only ii years
of age when the Civil War broke out.
Twice he ran away from home to
join the Union army, only to be taken
from the ranks by his father because
of his youth.
AS page of the lower House of
the Kentucky Legislature, he attract
ed such attention that, at the age of
Is, special act was passed by the
Legislature. enabling him to practice
law.
From the time he became Of age
until his death, there scarcely was a
state convention of his party in which
he was not a prominent figure As one
of the noted convention orators he
seconded the nomination of Grant in
1880 and that of Roosevelt in 1904
Faced with strong Democratic
majority in his state, Mr.. Bradley Of
ten suffered defeat for office. Twice
he was defeated for Congress and four
times for United States senator.
In 1895 he was elected governor of
Kentucky by 1912 majority Victory
again settled on his banner in 1905
when a Democratic Legislature by
eight votes after a deadlock finally
elected him TO the Senate. His last
speech was made In the Senate on
May 6, when he spoke against the re-
peal OF the Panama canal toll exemp-
ton law.

into JOHN DIS CONDITION

stated. are ready to testify and it is
probable that when the inquiry is
continued Tuesday morning one OF
these will go on the stand.
Officials of the commission are UNI
able to state how much more time
will be required to complete the In
curry Regarding the investigation
Mr.. Folk said tonight:
THE most important question before
the people today is to secure common
honesty in the financial conditions or
the great railroad systems of the ma
ton. Reforms always come through
exposure of abuses. The corruption
and reckless prolif1gacy in the man
agement of the New Haven have been
made plain and, in the light OF the
revelations, legislative remedies may
be devised to prevent in the future
such plundering of the public under
the gufse of corporate charters.
Followisg the completion of the New
Haven investigation the Interstate
Commerce Commission will begin the
inquiry into the financial affairs OF
the Rock Island Railroad and this Is
expected to consume some weeks. This
will be under the direc-
ton of Commissioner Judson c. Glenn
ents and examiners of the commits
sion already have begun their work.

Two accidents of similar nature have
occurred in the past few days. The for
mer on Tuesday OF last week when An
drew Goodrich of Silver street had his
right leg broken while at work in the
lumber yard of John Davis. He is slowly
improving. On Friday while at work for

about five inches above the ankle. He
had been hauling lumber on a drag In
driving by a pile of cedar logs one end
of the drag caught on the end of the
pile of logs, causing the rear end of the
drag to pull around quickly, and as he
was driving at the side of the drag the
contact was heavy and his leg breaking
resulted
The tables were turned Saturday aft
ernoon when the Clinton and Freedom
baseball teams met for the second time.
The first game, recently played in Free
dom, was a one-sided contest for Free
dom, but Clinton has come back and on
Saturday showed her usual form. Floyd
Besse is doing good work in the box and
allowed only four hits, while Neal of
Freedom gave way to Knowlton in the
fourth after being pounded hard IN the
previous session. The score was IA to 4.
Considerable excitement was occasioned
by an alarm of fire shortly after II
O'Clock on Sunday noon, when building
occupied by Caroline Priest caught fire.
A large force of fre-fighters responded
and in a short while the fire was in con-
troll with but slight damage. The build
ing is owned by Arthur Holt and the
damage Is covered by insurance.

hits being obtained off him. and Il of
the Pilgrims went down by the strike

Gale is a great addition to the
team. In five trips to the bat he drew
a pass and hit for a single, double
and triple. He is very fast on bases,
and with Fortier. who led the league
in stolen bases last year, should make
a great scoring combination.

a strong game and hit we'll. Bell was
on hand with a timely single in the
