New Ordinance to Regulate
Autos When Fire Bell Rings

Because automobile owners have
acquired the habit of chasing the fire
truck to fires and crowding in close
to the burning property, thus block
ing the exit of the truck and expos
ing themselves to danger, the city
council last evening adopted an ordi-
nance making it a punishable offense
for the driver of any vehicle to take
his vehicle within 200 feet of burn
ing property
The ordinance also provides that
when the fire bell sounds, all vehicles
must drive to the nearest right hand
curb and stop for two minutes or un-
til the fire truck has passed on its
way to the fire, This is calculated to
lessen the danger Of collisions be-
tween the truck and other vehicles.
Violations of the ordinance are pun
ishable by a fine up to $50 and a
Jail sentence.
The ordinance passed last year re-
organizing the fire department was
amended last evening so that the sal.
airy of the firemen is increased $40 a
month This action was agreed to at
a recent meeting inasmuch as the
flremen are doing the city hall jan
itor work.

NEW YORK, July 29.-Justice
Ford. of the supreme court, last night
denied a new trial to Charles Becker,
ex-police lieutenant under sentence
of death for instigating the murder
Of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler.
This decision means that Becker must
be electrOcuted Friday
Justice Ford's decision covered five
full pages of legal-cap paper, and
contained about 1900 words. 1t goes
into the details of the affldayits filed
by the attorneys for Becker, and de-
clares that the evidence proffered 'is
for the most part cumulative and
hence insufficient"
Referring to the plea of w Bourke
Cochran, chief counsel for Becker,
that the right TO grant a new trial is
inherent In the court, the courts de-
cision says:
Il cannot find anywhere in the au-
thorities even a suggestion that this
court possesses any such (inherenD
power. on the contrary. as has been
pointed out. the power is granted by
statute and must be exercised in
strict compliance with it."
In conclusion the court says. "As
I studied the authorities and examin-
ed the affidavlts, the conviction has
grown upon me that it Ga new triaD
could not be granted without disre-
garding the law and attempting to
usurp the functions of another depart
ment of government.

statements contained in an article in

Bryan Has Plan.

Washington, June 15.-Wil-
liam J. Bryan. former Secretary
|of State, has what he believes to
be a practical. working solution
of the problem of how peace may
be brought about in Europe. He
80 informed a representative of
The Star today, although declin-
ing to discuss it for publication.
Friends however, of the peace
advocate who talked with him
today expressed the opinion that
his idea is an interesting one and
that something may come of it.
The suggested solution of the
problem will be made public by
Mr.. Bryan in the afternoon news
papers of Friday, as the last
statement from him, unless some
thing unforeseen occurs.
Mr.. Bryan had nothing to say
today in elaboration of his state
ment of Sunday morning that the
note of the United States Gov
eminent to Germany had been
"softened" after he resigned.
President Wilson was asked by
the Washington correspondents
today just what the changes
were to which former Secretary
Bryan referred as having been
made in the note. Mr.. Wilson
said it was best for him, he felt.
not to discuss Mr.. Bryap's resig-
nation or other questions con-
nected with it. Mr.. BRYAN had
said that while the note was
changed the alteration was not of
sufficient Importance to justify
him in asking permission to wit :
draw his resignation.
