THE following is from Thursdays
issue of the st. Louis Post Dispatch:
The motor vehicles law, recurring
an automobilist to stop when a driver
OF horses or mules signals him that
the animals are frightened, was con-
strued by Judge William II. Allen of
the Court of Appeals, in an opinion
rendered a few days ago. Judge Al
len holds that the automobilist is not
required to stop, unless the driver
himself gives the signal by lifting his
hand. In the case under considera-
tion, it was urged that the driver had
both hands full in trying to keep his
mules from running away, and that
his father, who was sitting beside him,
gave the signal in his place. The
Court holds that the law cannot be
construed to mean any more than it
says, and that, If it is nullified by the
practical necessities OF handling a
team, the blame should rest on the
lawmakers, and a remedy should be
sought from the Legislature. Judge
Allen freed ]. r. Wilson OF Scott Coun-
ty from the payment of a S25 fine i'm
posed because he failed to stop his
motor a when approaching a team
Of mules driven by A. A. Davidson.
The signal was given, it wal testified,
by Davidson's father, but Wilson said
he did not seeit.
Now isn't that a statute interpreta-
ton for your whiskers? 1t will stand

GO0DN0W'S ADVICE
AROUSES DIPLOMATS
China's Adviser Said to Have
Urged Restoration Of the
Monarchy.

Most profound interest is manifest
among officials and diplomats today
over the remarks attributed to Pro1.
Frank ]. Goodnow, president OF the
Johns Hopkins University, and legal
adviser to Yuan Shi Kai approving the
plan to restore the monarchial form OF
government to China.
The fact that Prof Goodnow. prior to
his departure for China early this sum-
mer, had an interview with President
Wilson at the White House. has caused
more than ordinary importance to be
attached to his remarks. as set forth
in the Picking newspapers.
Inquiry at the State Department to-
cay, however. developed the fact that
| United States Minister Rcinsch. at
| Peking, has reported nothing concern
monarchy. and that the department had
| been given no advance information con-
cerning the propaganda
Policy of United States.
| How the United States Government
will regard such a step Is doubtful.
Ever since Secretary of State John Hay
proclaimed the open door, policy for
| China the United States has been re-
garded as best friend" of China. AS
| late as last spring. the United States
sent identical notes to Peking ana
Tokyo reminding both countries OF the
| interest Of the United States in main
tanning the integrity Of Chinese terri
| tory While the text Of these notes
has never been made public. II is
| learned that no mention was mace OF
this country's desire to see the present
republican form Of government In

Why Appointed.
Although Prof. Goodnow. an Ameri-
can. was selected by President Yuan
Shih Kai as legal adviser to the repub-
lie in recognition of the friendly inter
est of the United states. he has no Of
ticial connection with tho United States
Government.
His appointment grew out of the visit
to China In 1912 of President Emeritus
| Eliot. OF Harvard University, under the
auspices OF the Carnegie Endowment
for Peace. when he advised Yuan Shih
Kai OF the advisability of the Chinese
