Grand "Clean-Up."

/. several bills reported from the committee.
some of them of great importance to the
District, and with the present status of
business in the House there ought not to
be any objection to a real old-fashioned
District day within short while. July
"a is the next regular day for District
business and. while no statement has been
made on the subject, the House may use
that day to make galloping finish for
District bills
BY that time there may be a bill re-
ported to the House providing a pension

policemen. This bill is quietly but surely

johnson Bill May Come Up.
The johnson bill to place crossing po-
licemen on the regular force may be taken
up also. Another measure of great in
terest which could be taken up if the re-

The bills reported from the District
committee this week, including the Cross

DOINGS IN THE AUTO WORLD
New England One of Americas Greatest Markets for Auomo bes-Dr Rittman Predicts Change in Gasoline Prices U s. Army Using Motor Trucks in Mexico

New England is, and has been since the beginning of the motor vehicle industry, one of Americas greatest markets for automobiles, motor trucks and accessories This fact has never been more evident than at this time as is shown by the activity of the ting centre of the section.
 Competent authorities declare that many manufacturers of motor vehicles do nearly as much business through their Boston branches and other sell ing channels as they do through their New York city connections. There are some companies. particularly those which produce high priced cars, whose greatest volume of distribution Is through the New England metropolis.
 The importance of the New England market is shown by the relatively large number of cars it absorbed dur ing last year. Registration figures, as reported in the six states on Jan. l. 1915, and the corresponding day of 1916, show that 5O,512 pleasure cars and commercial trucks were pur- chased during 1915. This Is remark able in view of the extreme business depression by which the business and the people of the district were effected during the first eight or nine months of that period.
 In recent months. however, normal prosperity has been restorted, which is evident in the great activity of prac- tically all lines of business. This is particularly noticeable among con-

MARKET WAS ANIMATED.
In Consequence of Absence of Disturb
 ing Developments.

New. York, April 10.-Stocks were
 stirred into a Semblance of strength
 and animation today, mainly in conse- quence of the absence of disturbing
 developments over the week end. Ad-
 vices from Berlin regarding the SuS- sex incident were accepted as making for further delay in the settlement of the delicate negotiations now pending. News touching upon the market was largely of a favorable character, en-

 ChappeIle has not been signed, as has been reported in some of the state papers, and MT. Collins states that there is some doubt as to whether or not the big pitcher can keep up the pace required in a league that will have the class of the Eastern.
 Murphy is expected to return in a few days, after he has obtained a like ly squad of players for his list, and actual training may start before April IS. if he is favored with success in landing the men he wants.

 That sales of motor vehicles fin l9l6 will be 25 per cent greater than during 1915 is generally considered to conservative estimate. One factor contributing to the increase is that the market has been expanded by cars oeing offered at prices which are low CT than formerly. If such an tn- crease Is made it will mean that dealers in New England will dispose of approximately 1000 automobiles. motor trucks and a proportionately increased volume of accessories.
