as the Maryland case" wherein a
resident of the District contended that
he had the same right as any other
vehicle owner to the use of Maryland
roads as long as he had provided
himself with an Identification number
from his home district, and thus
made it possible to apprehend him in
case he violated any of the highway
laws OF the Commonwealth.
Maryland Act Upheld.
But in the decision rendered by the
highest court in the land. written by
Justice McReynolds and concurred in
by all the justices, it is held that in
the absence of a national law State
has a perfect right to enact whatever
laws it may see fit in relation to the
automobile. Furthermore Justice Nc
Reynolds holds that the movement of
motor vehicles over the highways is
attended by constant and serious dan
ger to the public, and is also abnor-
mally destructive to the highway it
self" Further on the justice states:
In the absence of national legislation
covering the subject, State may right
fully prescribe uniform regulations nee
essary for public safety and order in re-
spect to the operation upon its highways
of all motor vehicles-thoSe moving in

The inference of the highest court

certainly a most unusual situation when
a citizen of the United States is not free
to travel in any section of the country
after he has provided himself with an

FIREsToET SHOWS POWER.
Tires Stand Up Under Hard Test in
California Race.

In a mad race up hill and down hill.
around bad turns and over a rough
dirt roadbed, Firestone tires again
brought Earl Cooper victory, enabling
him to win the Point Iona race at the
San Diego Exposition January ..
The Point Iona course is a $3.50
mile circuit of ordinary dirt roads with
no special construction. There are
many difhcult hills, sharp turns, and
few speed stretches. Considering these
things great speed was impossible,
though Cooper's winning time was
4:4O.1o4-5 for the hfty-one laps. or
3o5.OS2 miles. This means an average
of sixty-five and three-fourths miles
per hour-remarkable speed for such
q rough, rugged road. Just how dim
cult the course was may be realized by
the fact that Of the eighteen starters
only seven finished.

Dealers in rubber goods, tires. as we'll

Rubber Club of America and the Rub

induce the British government to lift
the embargo on the expectation of rubber
from the British colonies in so far as
that embargo applies to the United
States.
In an effort to attain this end B. G..
Work, of the Goodrich Rubber Company,
left for England Wednesday on board
the Lusitania OF. the Cunard Line to con-
fer with representatives. of the British
government. Mr.. Work was designated
as the official representative of the Rub
Der Club OF America and OF the Rubber
Trade Association Of New York.
The Importance attached to the nego-
tiations to be conducted by Mr.. Work
was explained yesterday by Howard E.

come either from Brazil or the Island
of Ceylon and the Malay States. Ceylon
or the Malay States are British colonies,
and therefore the embargo of the British
government places a ban on the exporta-
ton OF the rubber of those two colonies
TO the United States. This leaves us with
only Brazil to supply US with the finer
grades OF. rubber, and the supply from
that country is wholly inadequate for
American consumption.
THE ostensible object of the British
government in placing the embargo on
the expectation of rubber Is to keep that
product from getting into the hands Of
Germany and Austria. But II hits the
United States as badly as either OF these
countries. We are trying to arrange 1t

be solved in a satisfactory manner"
Could Undersen L. s. Dealers.
Crude rubber is selling in New York
at about 80 cents a pound. while in Eng
land the price is 81 cents a pound, with
practically no market. it is said. The
normal demand for rubber in the United
States during 1915 is estimated at 5000
tons. OF this amount Brazil will be
able to supply only 5000 tons, leaving
fully 5000 tons which must come either
from Ceylon or the Malay States Un-
less England lifts the embargo II is said
that $4,000 employees in the rubber in

On account of the glutting Of the Brit

It is believed, however, that the British
government will lift the embargo so far
as 1t applies to the United States, pro-
vided assurances are given that none Of

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL
 RECITAL AT CENTRAL
MISSES DEAN BAIN AND WASH. TT KING ENTERTAIN AP-
 PRECIATIVE AUDIENCE.

A large and appreciative audience attended the recital by Miss Dean
 Bain, pianiste, and Miss Vashti King reader, at Central College, last night Miss King read cuttings from George Eliot's "Romola" and through out the entire rendition, which was divided into two parts, the audience was held by the charm of her person ality and her skill as an interpreter Miss King has been a favorite with the students and public, who have heard her in various recitals during her stay in Central the past four years, and, in addition to this, she was the winner for the college of the cup in the college reading contest last year at the state meet at Pine Bluff Her work last evening was a credit to herself, her college and the rare ability of her instructor, Mrs. Ham, ilton.
 Miss Dean Bain has been in Gen. tral two years, and has been a fla vorite pianiste on various concert oc- casions, as well as having been win ner of second honors in the state con- test, both in high school and in col lege contests, since coming to Central Her technivue and interpretation have shown marked improvement in the past two years, and reflect great cred it upon her own ability and the work of her teacher, Prof. w. c. Uter- moehlen.
 Miss Bain had one of the strongest programs of the series of recitals, and all her renditions were given with finish, adequate technique and very original interpretation. Her wrist and octave work as shown in the Rhapsodie and her perfect rendering of the Staccatto Caprice was of the highest order, and the most difficult passages were played by her without apparent effort.
 "The Butterfly" was very beautiful ly rendered, with light and dainty touch as befects it's style. Mention should also be made of the Beethoven Andante, which exploits almost every kind of touch and technique; in fact, Miss Bain was equal to every number, which gave demonstration of her pro ficiency in both brilliant and expres- sive numbers, the originality of her interpretations and her fidelity to the principles of art, which characterize the teachings of her instructor.
 Both young ladies received many beautiful flowers, and the recital was a success from every standpoint.

TWO ACCOUNTANTS DISCONTINUE WORK SUPREME COURT RULING MAY MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR LEGISLATIVE PROBE TO
 BE FINISHED.

Little Rock, April 2O.-T E. Cress and l. F. Thomas of Memphis, of T. E. Cress X Co.,, expert accountants employed by the special auditing com mittees to check up the various state departments and institutions, have departed from the state capitol.
 They announced Monday afternoon that they had stopped work tempo rarily at least, and there is consider able doubt if they will ever resume.
 The supreme court Monday affirmed the Pulaski chancery court which granted a petition of Representative
 Jo Johnson of Sebastian county to stop the issuance of warrants for the payment of the per diem of the ex- pert accountants and the members of the special committees. The court neld that the legislature had no power to create such an expense by concur rent resolution, and that the only way 1t could have been reached was by an
 act. It was held that the legislature had no power to authorize any ex-
 penditure after the twenty days al
 lowed for finishing the journals and enrolling the acts, and that after l that date there could be no legislative
 contingent fund upon which to draw. Mi. Johnson estimated that the to- tai expense of the first twenty days after the adjournment of the legis- lature was $5,63l .22, and at that rate, the cost of the investigation would have been about $l00,000 year. The committee had finished the auditing of the state land office and the agri- cultural departments, and made their reports; the department of education had been finished, but the report not made public. The accountants were about one-half thorugh with the state auditors office. It would have taken anyway from year to eighteen months to finish all the work out lined.
