OF WAR AUTO CENSUS.

During a recent hearing before the
senate committee on military affairs
on a bill submitted by the war de-
partment contemplating the acqui-
sition Of motor cars and other motor
transportation facilities by the army
in time Of war. some surprise was
manifested by some members OF the
committee that there was already no
general statute in existence that gives
the military authorities power to take
over property OF this kind in case Of
emergency, and it seemed to be re-
garded as necessary to have such a
law. The war department is engaged
in working out the details Of a scheme
as contemplated in the proposed bill,
which includes the preparation OF a
list of owners Of motor vehicles to the

CITIES WANT FEES
OF ELECTRIC AUTOS.

bill will be introduced in the Il
lnois legislature soon to amend the
motor car license law so that all
money received from electric cars will
be turned over to the city in which
the cars operate and not to the state.
AS Ia well known, electric cars are
largely for city use and it is rare that
they are used for trips to the country
districts. Due TO this exclusive
feature Of the electrics, It is argued
that the money derived from their
licensing should be applied to the
municipalities for use in maintaining

IMMIGRATION MEASURE TO
Be INTRODUCED AGAIN

The immigration bill, one of the
measures which came near splitting
the democratic party in congress at
the last session. will be reintroduced
at an early date by Representative
Burnett Of Alabama, chairman Of tho
immigration committee. The measure
will be practically in the same form
as when vetoed by President Wilson,
and there is every indication of as
great a row on the bill as ever. Chair
man Burnett states that he will do
everything in his power to obtain
enough votes in the house and senate
to enact the measure.
1t is believed two-thirds vote will
be obtained in the senate to pass the
bill, but the lineup in the house is un-
certain, owing to the great number of
new members. When the bill was up
in the house last winter it lacked eight
votes of passage, as thirteen members
who had originally supported the
measure went over to the opposition.
President Wilson vetoed the measure
because in his opinion it violated
American traditions as to the admis.
sion of aliens to this country.

BIG FIGHT TO COME ON PHILIP.
PINE BILL.

FINE BILL.
The definite announcement from the
White House that the Jones Philippine
independence bill would be embodied
in the legislative program of the ad-
ministration for this session of con-
gress, has resulted in a quiet investl-
cation by some congressional leaders
as to the outlook for the enactment of
this measure. The result of this inves-
tigation has convinced many members
Of congress that the Jones bill cannot
be passed without a serious legislative
struggle.
This bill, as it was amended at the
last session of congress and as it will
be pressed at this session, does not
attempt to set specific date for the
United States to withdraw from con.
troll of the islands, but merely pledges
this government to recognize the sov-
ereignty of the islands "since stable
government can be established there.

COMMITTED TO ASYLUM.

Rev. Father Lesches, who on
Thursday of last week was acquitted
on the charge of attempting to kill
Bishop Heffron on August 9th, was
committed to the insane hospital at
st. Peter on Friday, December 3rd.
There was no alternative for the
court. The jury decided that Father
Lesches was not guilty of the crime of
assault, because he was insane at the
time the act was committed. The
jury, however, agreed that Father
Lesches had homicidal tendencies.
Under these circumstances the court
was obliged to commit the defendant
to an institution where he shall be
confined until the court issues an or
der for his release. The following is
the verdict of the jury.
I'VE, the jury impanelled and
sworn to try the guilt or innocence
of the above named defendant, find
that the said defendant, l.. M.
Lesches, actually committed an as.
sault upon one, Patrick r. Heffron, at
the time and place set forth in the
Indictment; but we further find that
said defendant, l.. M. Lesches, was
insane at the date of such assault
and we acquit him upon that ground; {;
we also further find and state that
In our opinion at said date said de.
fendant. l.. M. Lesches, had homi
cidal tendencies"

tim Of murderous assault aided

provided funds for conducting his de

Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, Unit

notable figure in the South, gave no.
tice on Monday that he had introduced
q resolution to have a committee inves-
tigate the British raids upon American
commerce. On the same date, Ambas.

Secretary of State that he had filed a
vigorous protest with the British for.
eign Office against the manner in
which British raiders had requisitioned
vessels of the American Transatlantic
Shipping company without even the
formality of the prize court. Two
American steamers, the Hooking and
the Genesee, we're referred to in the
protest. The former is at Halifax and
the latter at a West India port, since
