PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
(continued From Page one)

There was a disposition at both the
Carranza and Villa agencies here to treat
the subject of peace parleys with much
caution, because neither Of the represent.
atives here professed to know how his
respective chief would view the subject.
Informally, however, some Carranza Of
ficials expressed their own opinion that
the effort of the Villa elements to make
peace was confession of military fail
ure and Of the coming disintegration of
their movement. Peace negotiations were
viewed by the Carranza men, therefore
as an obstacle to an early military tri..
umph by Gen. Carranza with consequent
recognition. On the other hand, in Villa
quarters it was reiterated that Gen. Viii
la had from the first expressed willing
ness to eliminate himself and restore
peace. and that recent victories by Gen.
Angeles and others in the vicinity Of c.
laya indicated that the Villa forces now
had the upper hands.

HAITrs NEW PRESIDENT.

XXTILL DR.. Bobo and his friends in Haiti acquiesce
w in the selection Of Senator Sudre Dartiguenave
president of that republic? That a question that
interests all who have been following the course of
events in the negro republic since the recent massa-
ere in Portau-Prnce and, the subsequent killing of
President Guaume and certain of his blood-thrsty
lieutenants
Dr. Bobo led the revolution against Gunlaume and
had carried it to what may regarded as success
full conclusion when the United States interviewed
and took charge OF Haiten affairs pending recon-
struction OF the government
Under the Haitien system II devolved upon the
Chamber Of Deputies to elect a president to succeed
the chamber performing that function on the
ground that it not representative body Notwith-
standing that objection the election was held with
American marines protecting the deputies in the ex-
ercise Of their electoral functions The presidential
term is seven years.
Il is not likely that the election of Senator Oar
tiguenave under such conditions will be satisfactory
to the people Of Haiti No need be surprised it,
when the American forces have been withdrawn there
be fresh outbreak by the Bobotes other revou-
tionists The possibility Of such trouble probably will
keep the United States in control there much longer
than originally intended In fact It may result
in the enactment of liberal laws which will make
the Chamber OF Deputies representative, curta
its President-making power and give to the people
more direct voice in saying who shall and who shall
not be their chief executive
That will take time and 1t makes exceedingly in
definite the which the United States will take
hands of the internal affairs Of the island re-

IN UNJUST LreAL rROyIsION.

nELAwARE's motor vehicle law should be liberal
~ lied for the benefit OF non-residents and Incl
dentay, for the benefit the material interests Of
our city and State In its present shape is work
ing injustice against non-resdents arousng feel
ing in other States that fail lead reprsas
that may affect all Delaware Automobiles detrimen-
tally and iniure the trade of city.
We have heard the Wilmington Police Department
and the Municipal Court criticized because operators OF
motor vehicles owned by nonresident corporations
firms and copartnerships have been and fined
heavily In this city Il is fair to state that the Police
Department and the Municipal Court are in no sense
to blame in the matter They simply are carrying
out the law and exercise option in the matter
The only remedy possible is 70 amend the law AS
the Legislature will reconvene until January 1917
the outlook is that the existing trouble
until that time with its attendant discomfort and ill
feeling
The law as its exists today is follows:
"A motor vehicle motor cycle. owned by a foreign
corporation firm, co-parmershp. and operated
within this state shall not exempt registration
and the operator of said motor vehicle shall be
licensed hereinafter provided for operators motor
vehicles; provided that this shall apply TO a
vehicle owned by individual, firm. corporation
which is registered a dealer manufacturer in
another State, which State grants exemptions to a
dealer or manufacturer OF this State"
The specific purpose underlying that provision was
all right 1t to tax outside corporations firms
and co-partnerships doing business in Delaware in
competition with home merchants so that this
State might obtain compensation for the tear
upon the public roads caused by the operation motor
vehicles belonging TO such outside concerns Tn
happily the provision was framed that today
motor vehicle belonging TO outside corporation firm
co-partnershp cannot pass through our State
its way to another State without taking out a Della
license being subject to fine Nor may such
a vehicle from outside into State for a load
of goods purchased here. without being similarly
penalized.
For instance, truck came down here from Arden
dale. Pa. to get a load of Wilmington goods It was
licensed properly under the Pennsylvania law And
yet merely because it owned by outside cor
poration. firm or co-parnership it was seized and
fine imposed
legal provision that will permit such things ia
occur has no for existence. It should be
amended 10 the level Of common-sense at the earliest
possible opportunity. Meanwhile owners of vehicles IN
other States should of the existence OF that
foolish provision in law, they can guard them
selves against it, pending its amendment repeal II
is not right to leave the situation in its shape
