AUTOMOBILE Law
EFFECTIVE JUNE 18TH.
TRAFFIC SPEED
LIMITED.
Chaufeur's Licenses.

Beginning tomorrow, June 18th, the
new automobile law passed by the 1914
Legislature becomes effective.
The law forbids the driving OF any
vehicle at speed greater than is ''reas-
enable and proper" The following are
limits placed as reasonable and prop
err" any greater being prima facie evil
dence of unreasonable and improper
speed. In closely built-up sections of
incorporated cities, ten miles an hour;
in residence districts, fifteen miles an
hour; highways outside of the business
and residence section, twenty miles an
hour. On curve, corner or crossing,
where the operator view is INSTRUCTED.
eight miles an hour is the limit.
A driver must come to full stop in
passing frightened horse or near a
street car taking on or discharging pas
sengers. Any city may. however, pass
traffic laws that pace the speed limits
| lower than the statute.
The trainers of the law were gener-
GUS in providing fines and equally I'M
selfish in finding acts which can be
punished. Some of the law infractions
and their penalties are:
Fine of $40 for fictitious chauffeur
badge.
Fine of SIS for employer of unli-
censed chauffeur.
Fine of $40 for unlicensed chauffeur.
Fine of SIS to $50 for intoxicated op-
orator for motor vehicle.
Fines of $40 o$10O for use of ficti-
tious automobile licenses.
Fine of SIS to 500 for person under
sixteen who drives car without parent
or guardian.
Cancellation of vehicle license for
owner who fails to report discharge of
chauffeur because of drunkenness
Two to five years in the penitentiary
for taking machine without owners
consent.
Forfeiture of chaffeur's license on
conviction Tor drunkenness.
Fine of $40 to $50 for violation of any
section not specifically enumerated.
This may be augmented by five to thir-
ty days in Jail.
The new license price follow:
For vehicles and twenty-five horse
power or less, Sc; between twenty-five
and fifty, $11, and above fifty horse
power, 500. A motorcycle registration
fee is S..
The examination for chauffeurs to
establish their right to licenses are to
be held as follows:
Louisville, first Monday in December;
Lexington, first Monday in February.
Maysville, first Monday in April; Bowl
ing Green, first Monday in July; Pa
ducah, first Monday in September, and
Covington, first Monday in May.
Until then the Commissioner of Mo-
tor Vehicles at Frankfort will have the
right to issue licenses.

SENATOR JAMES
HITS HEAVY BLOWS.
DEFENDS DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION
Flags Leaders Opposing Repeal Bill.

: Senator Ollie NJ. James made one of
a. the most stirring speeches on last Tues
day heard in the Senate since the Re-
peal Toll Measure has been before that
body. Many clashes between those
! Senators fighting the administration s
fplan and the big Kentucky Senator
ltook place during his speech. but those
tinterrupting were soon silenced by the
Skeen sarcasm and powerful logic of the
tgifted Kentuckian. Senator. James
being recognized spokesman for the
administration his speech on this
measure upon which the President has
tplaced so much Importance, naturally
attracted attention.
The way the Senator showed his op-
ponents as serving the interest of the
STANDARD Oil and Steel Trust and the
Whipping monopoly caused bitter colloquy.
Ehe speaker delighted the administra-
lion forces in his able manner of pre-
kentin that side of the question.
/ He favored the repeal of the present
law permitting free passage of Ameri-
can ships through the canal: First
ssBecause it keeps intact the nations
honor. Second, Because it repeats a
tubsidy to call it by its right name.
Some persons call it tolls exemp-
tion" said the speaker.

CONE In and SWELL THE
THRONG.

The week of June 22d will be a no.
table one in Lancaster. Chautauqua
will be here during the week with such
attractions as have never been seen in
Lancaster before, and every one should
purchase season tickets, which mater
tally lessons the cost, and attend every
session. These attractions are high
class in every particular, the very best
obtainable and are the same as are to
be seen in the regular Chautauqua
courses in much more pretentious towns
than Lancaster, and we are indeed
very fortunate to be able to secure
them, and they most assuredly deserve
the unstinted patronage of the people
of the county.
The Garrard county Teachers Insti-
tute will also be in session during the
week, and this will swell the number
of visitors considerably, as well as add
materially to the weeks attractions, as
the Institutes are invariably of more
or less interest to the general public.
We are aware of the fact that this
is a busy time Of the year for the
farmers, but there is not one of them
who will not feel fully repaid for TAX
ing day or two off and coming in for
the Unusually interesting attractions.
Bring your family, there will be some
thing to interest every member, even
to the kiddies.

GAME WARDEN
SCALF
SAYS HE IS DOING EVERY
THING
POSSIBLE TO ENFORCE LAW, LACKS
COOPERATION.

In answer to the article which ap-
peared in last weeks issue of the Re-
cord, Game Warden j. S. Scalf called
at the Record office and made the
statement that since his appointment
to the position he had done everything
possible to see that the game and fish
laws were enforced. having gone so
far as to submit the names of those
who had been reported to him as hav
ing violated these laws to the grand
juries at previous terms of the court.
Mr.. Scalf asserts that it is impossible
for him to accomplish anything unless
he can have the cooperation of the
citizens of the county, and requests
that any and all persons who are in
possession of any evidence as to viola
lions of these laws report same to him
and that he will do the rest.
This is but justice to Mr.. Scalf, and
he is correct in his statement that his
hands are tied and he is rendered
powerless by the refusal or failure of
\ the citizens to furnish him any informa-
ton which they may be in possession
of that would tend to the conviction of
persons having been guilty of violation
of the laws.
That there has been violations of
these laws, we have no doubt, there
are too many persistent rumors afioat
to this effect for there not to be any
truth in some of them, and it is common
justice to Mr.. Scalf and to the offended
law, that any citizen having cognizance
of these violations should apprise him
of them. 1t is not necessary that your
name should be known in the matter,
nor should it be known, so if you have
any information that would prove of
value to him, call on Mr.. Scalf and APP
prise him Of the facts in your posses
sion.
