LINCOLN HIGHWAY FILMS
LOST ON WAY TO THE CITY
Thousand Persons Gathering to See
Pictures, Under Auspices of Board
of Trade, Are Disappointed.

The motion picture films OF the Lin
coin highway, which were to have been
shown under the auspices of the WASH
ington Board of Trade at the New Will
lard yesterday afternoon, were lost
somewhere in transit between Chica go
and this city, and the 1000 or more
persons who gathered in the big ball
room for the treat were disappointed.
The Board of Trade officials were as
sured by the Lincoln Highway Associa-
ton that the films would be in Wash
ington in readiness for the exhibition.
and when they failed to arrive yester-
day morning they did everything in
their power to locate them, but with
out success. Thinking that the films
might arrive later in the day. the ex-
hlbition was not called off, however
Several films showing scenes at West
Point and at the Naval Academy and
views in South America were obtained
from a local exchange in readiness 70
be shown should the highway films ia il
to arrive.
President Bfandenburg waited until
about $3.50 o'clock before feeling salts
ned that the highway films would not
arrive, and then announced to the as
semblage that it would be necessary to
change the program. The films which
were substituted had never been eX-
h1bited in Washington before, and they
attracted great interest, practically all
of the large gathering remaining to see
them.

several years, and in that capacity had
charge of the enforcement of the Della
ware automobile law, and was the
author of the Delaware automobile law
passed at the session of the general
assembly in 1915. He said that in a
short time he contemplates introduce
ing another bill which will provide for
the annual registration Of motor
vehicles and licensing of operators. be-
cause as the law now stands in the
District a person obtains a perpetual
registration and operators license, al
though In almost every state in the
Union such registration and licensing
must be renewed annually.
