of opinion regarding any clause, |
standing vote was taken.
III. s. Hagerty, who called the meet |
ing, made brief talk, outlining its
purposes, when chairman and sec
retary were elected. f. D. Lander
was made presiding officer, while e.
T. Batten was designated as secre-
tary.
A typewriter copy of the proposed
traffic rules was read, paragraph by
paragraph, by Mr.. Lander, and the
views of every one concerning it's
adoption were requested. The auto
mobilists present showed plainly that
they were interested in the movement
by the nature of their discussions and
the arguments they presented in favor
of or in opposition to certain para
graphs.
The clause bringing forth the prin-
cipal discussions were those making
it illegal for person to cross a
street diagonally, or not at a recog-
nized street crossing; the parking OF
automobiles in the business streets
in the congested districts; and the
speed at which automobiles should
travel within and without the fire
limits.
Brjnus Forth Arguments.
The suggested clause stipulated
that no automobile shall be parked
on Main street between the court
house and the Phoenix Laundry, or OF
; Pine street, between the postoffice
+. and Mobile street, brought forth mucf
discussion. The opponents of thi'
clause argued that it would be nee
:, essary to park their cars on the shor
streets in the down town section, ant
that in this way the business men ol
the short streets would suffer by sue
congestion. 1t was stated that Raj
road street and Front street wer
the only thoroughfares in this vicir
= ity where the automobiles could b
parked.
Those favoring the clause explaine
= that it was not necessary to park tn
cars on Front and Railroad streets
y that there were many other stree
. down town, and many vacant 10
!. where the motor cars could be place
for hours at time. Il. was pointt
out that there is vacant lot on Ma
h. street, opposite the court house; a
at other on Front street, between Tt

building; another on the same thu

them. During the American revolu-

gradually rose to So a bushel. High
prices continued because Of the Ma

Crimean war broke out wheat went
kiting. It had been 80 cents in 1854
and by 1855 it was $1.S5. Wheat was
81 cents in 1851 and. it climbed to

London, Feb. 27.-The forts at the

to an announcement made on Thurs

The announcement states:
'The weather moderating, the bonn

firing, close range firing was adopted.
"All the forts at the entrance to the

The Dardanelles forts, for years con-
sidered among the strongest military
barriers in the world; have been sub
jected to almost incessant battering
by the shells of the battleships' guns
since last Friday, when the supreme eff
fort to force the straits was COM
menced. Before that there had been
several attacks on the Notifications.
The bombardment was continued all
day Saturday and Sunday, and more
than two thousand shells were dropped
on the forts in that time Bad wealth
er for the time compelled the cessation
of the efforts Of the feet to reduce
the forts, but the bombardment was
resumed Monday afternoon, again to
be ended by bad weather until Thurs.
day. ~ ~ai
Constantinople reported that the
bombardment had been almost without
effect. but the official announcement
of the British admiralty said that the.
forts were unable to reply because
the ships were out of range, and that
