TRANSFERS IN STATE
MUST OBEY ROAD RULES
Automobile Commissioner Given I'M
portant Ruling On Subject.

The State Automobile Commission
has jurisdiction over horse-drawn
vehicles on the public highway and may
arrest drivers of the latter for intrac-
ton of the road rules. Attorney Gen.
eral Richie forwarded this opinion
Yesterday to Automobile Commissioner
Baughman and the result will be an
early crusade against drivers of heavy
wagons, who of late have refused to
observe the road rules.
Recently many complaints have
reached Commissioner Baughman from
motorists who have claimed that drivers
of horse-drawn vehicles all over the
state have attempted to hog" the
roadway and have refused to comply
with requests to draw toward the right
to permit the motorists to pass. The
cases of noncompliance with the draw
ing aside request have been especially
frequent on the Belair road, Commits
sioner Baughman says, and concern the
drivers of heavy market wagons going
to and from the city.
Asked for an opinion, Attorney Gen.
eral Richie replied that under section
237 of the Motor-vehicle Law the
deputies of the State Commissioner
Office have full power to make arrests
of drivers of horse-drawn vehicles for
road violations.
Section 163 of the Motor Law, Com
missioner Baughman contends, makes
it mandatory for drivers to give right
of-way to other vehicles desiring to
pass provided the highway is sufficient
ly broad at the place of attempted pass
age. The section says: "All vehicles
when being driven upon the highways
OF this state, upon meeting others
shall turn to the right of the center of
the highway so as to pass without in
terferance, and in rounding curves shall
keep as far to the right of the road as
reasonably possible, and any vehicle
overtaking another going in the same
direction shall pass to the left of the
vehicle so overtaken provided the way
ahead is clear of approaching traffic.
MANY complaints have reached US, "
said Commissioner Baughman, 'of
drivers of horse-drawn vehicles who
have attempted to keep in the middle
of the road and who when asked by
motorists, desiring to pass. to draw
aside to the right have replied with re,
fusals and in some cases abusive
language. Under the attorney generals
opinion our deputies have the right to;
proceed IN such cases and we intend to
act at once.

expectedly vetoed the army appropri
alton bill carrying 1857 100000 for
preparedness and many important fea-
lures of the Administrations national

sponsible for the Presidents action
This provision removed retired army
officers from liability to special serv
Ice and court-martial proceedings
The President denounced the provi.
sion as dangerous to discipline and
probably unconstitutional.
The vetoing of this important meas
ure constituted significant rebuke to
the chairman Of the House Military
Affairs Committee. Mr.. Hay declined
to comment on the action Of the
President, but he showed embarrass

introduced the army bill in the House
eliminating not only the Objectionable
provision concerning retired officers
but also the entire section Of the bill
which included the modified Articles
of War
1t has been reported that the Hay
joker was inserted in the army bill
in the interest of Gen. Ainsworth
retired, who desired to publish his
side of the well known army con.
troversy between himself and Gen
Wood. 1t was rumored that Gen
Aimsworth had even written a book,
which would make its appearance as
soon as there was no danger Of court
martial Mr.. Hay from the beginning
of the WoodAinsworth controversy,
has been a supporter of the latter.
Mr. Hay has denied emphatically
that he consulted Gen. AinSworth OF

help Ainsworth.

Perish When Electricity Ignites
1000 Pounds of Cordite
in Cananian Works
TWENTY OTHERS INJURED
Few of These Are Expected to Sur
vive-Disaster Purely Accidental,
the Factory Owners Assert
Factory Continues Working

Montreal, Quebec--With a dearen-
ing roar more than 1000 pounds OF
cordite which was in process OF man
ufacture in the munitions factory at
Drummondville P. G., for use IN
smokeless gun cartridges exploded,
killing five men, while twenty others,
seriously injured, are IN thS General
and Mount Royal Hospitals here. The
explosion came without warning,
and SO far as foresight could provide,
WIS unavoidable.
The cause was static electricity,
which brought about spontaneous COM
bustion in a huge Pile of cordfte which
was ready for packing in cartridge
cases. One Of the injured. questioned
as to the cause of the explosion, said:
I'VE were busy assembling the cor
dite for packing purposes when there
came a sudden flash, binding fame
and roar. That's all remember"
Three men were killed outright and
two others died in the hospital All
the survivors are badly burned and
are suffering also from shock Little
hope is held out by the hospital au-
thorities for the survival of more than
two or three.
The company's officials say that
there is not the slightest doubt as TO
the cause, and that no foundation
whatever exists for any talk of incen-
dtarism or plot.
Anpbulances and medical men and
nurses were rushed from Montreal by
a special train over the IntercolOntal
Railway on receipt of the news, and
the injured were brought to the hOspi
tails within a few hours.
Two Government Inspectors began
an investigation at once and other Off
cials from Ottawa will be on the spot
in short time.
The explosion took place in one Of
the drying houses and two or three
sheds were ruined, but the operations
of the factory will suspended.

hood, but sourch of constant annoy
ance to the tourists in general.
The indications are such that the
outlook appears exceedingly favorable,
and ere the dawn of a new year it is
hoped that our fond expectations, shall
be realized, not by the completion of the
State Road alone but by additional i'm
provements that the newly elected
trustees of our public school may deem
proper to make and which no doubt will
receive the hearty endorsement of all
concerned.
The Importance of these two factors
are indeed invaluable, and certainly be-
hoves each and every individual to inter-
est themselves in an united effort to
obtain the desired results, which can
only be accomplished by a constant
and unrelirquishing perseverance.
Again thanking the above mentioned
for the display of their kindly attention
and consideration in our behalf during
the past, we trust to receive a continu-
Gus share of their esteemed patronage
in the future.
