LATE IN GETTING LICENSE
Several Cars in POcatello are Con.
fiscated.

Last night several individuals came
to the speedy conclusion that Assessor
l.. b. Case meant what he said when
he Informed them about ten DAVIS ago
that 1t was positively necessary for
them to take out licenses and have
the tag attached to their machines
He had no alternative, as the state
law, as amended by the last session
made it compulsory for the assessor
to collect the license fees.
Accompanied by Deputy Sheriff
Bishop he spotted several cars with
out numbers. One of them was driy
en- to to the court house yards, where
1t was chained to tree. Another was
taken to garage and held until the IL
cense was paid, motorcycle was held
up, and several other cars were halted
until the license application was made
out and the money paid. The owner of
the car chained at the court house
was not able to secure it until this
morning, when he was compelled to
come across with an extra dollar and
half for the services of guard.
The new law is very specific. and
doesn't contemplate that motor We
hicle owners can pay when they feel
like 1t, and some of them escape alto
gether, as they did last season, and
enforcement of the law is indorsed by
all car owners. The law defines it
as misdemeanor to drive without a
license number attached and fixes the
penalty from 81 to $500, or not ex-
ceeding six months in Jail or both.
Assessor Case states that a motor
cycle officer will be on the streets
until the licenses are entirely cleared
uu, as the time limit has expired-Po-

Reports of Division.


During the long session of the cabi-
net there were reports that members
were divided in opinion as to what
should be the character of the repre-
sentation to Germany, even after the
German official statement had been
read and considered 1t is said that
few of the cabinet members favor a
most vigorous denunciation, notwith-
standing Germanys weakening, but
that the moderate view prevailed and
that the president took up the ma
ture of the forthcoming reply from
the new lights before him.
The cabinet was in session for near
ly three hours, the longest meeting in
several months. None of the members
would deny that the Lusitania tragedy
had been discussed, but all declined to
absolutely to comemnt
Secretary Bryan, when pressed with
questions, declared:
I'VE must not discuss what occurs
at cabinet meetings"
Secretary Daniels, asked whether
the Atlantic fleet would pass through
the Panama canal in accordance with
plans previously announced, replied:
u cannot discuss that or any other
question now"
Mr.. Daniels was asked whether the
review of the Atlantic fleet arranged
for next week in New York would be
held. Yesterday in Philadelphia he
denied that plans would be changed.
Today he answered the question by re-
plying:
Il cannot discuss that"

said the janitor nervously. He don't
mean nothin' by 1t. Some OF the
boys teaches him that talk"

into the thirst-trembly hand OF Slivers.
Hurrying over to his rooms just OF
Fifth avenue and Fifty-fifth street,
Poe found a small, neat package await
ing him. 1t was the thumb from Doc
tor Robinson, the bruised skin nicely
replaced, and the whole covered with
a glass-iike substance which made 1t
easy to handle and much less dis
agreeable.
Poe dropped down before a study
table, and turned on the strong cleo
trio light above. He held the glass
encased thumb in his fingers, ana
studied it carefully, finally tracing an
outline OF 1t on a piece OF paper.
Below the drawing he made few

wrinkles joining the corners of his nos

The flicker OF an idea flashed In Poe's
violet eyes; he entered the lobby OF

obtained permission to explore the

was balanced ty weights in such q

Poe tested the working OF the extern

HOW was thatg' asked the young
fellow, languidly interested.
"The man I'm speaking OF was a

dropped down till he was just q
hanger-on behind the scenes at q

and at q couple of gambling. dumps

The blanched-faced fellow was now
leaning toward Poe and listening open

trimmed eyes at each sentence. much
more interested than the man Poe nd
dressed.
Finally" Poe continued. "he got an
idea. Somebody suggested that he rob
