GUARDS NOT TO co

Additional Troops viii Be Sent to BOr-

Fitted Out.

Washington, July Traditional ma
tional guard organizations will be dis
patched TO the Mexican border only
after they have been organized and
equipped thoroughly. Department
commanders were delaying transpor-
tation on incomplete units today on in
structions from the war department.
About $4,000 men now in mobilza-
ton camps are affected by the new
orders, which revoke a ruling that
waived certain requirements made
when the Mexican situation appeared
acute. Some 100000 guardsmen are
on the border now, These, with sc, 900
regulars and 5000 reserves, comprise
a force sufficient, officials believe, to
make unnecessary the sending of more
equipped state troops.

CARELESS PILOT
TOLOSE LICENSE
CITY Commission Will Amend Traffic
Ordinance SO That Mayor VIII
Have More Control.
RECkLESSNESS Is HELD CAUSE
Officials Are Determined to Put Stop
to Violations Make Additional
Restrictions.

The Moline city council this morn
ing had read for the first time an
amendment to the city traffic Ordin-
ance which Will give the mayor power
to take away licenses of negligent or
careless taxi drivers. 1t was laid over
one week for final action. The bill
comes as result Of recent arrests of
jitneybus men due to either careless
ness or lack OF knowledge Of the ord
nance.
The amendment contains three
clauses. Besides granting the mayor
power to revoke licenses il provides
for two violations. The first of these
aims at the practice of overcrOwding
and fOrbids passengers from riding on
the hood, running board or fender of
machines. The second is blow at the
men who evade the ordinance prOhib-
iting stopping in the middle of the
street, by slowing down so that pas
sengers may easily get in. 1t provides
that no one shall enter a machine
while it is in motion.
Many Unfit as Drivers.
A few days ago a state inspector
commissioners to reeXamine the jit-
neybus drivers 1t was found that
many men having licenses were really
unfit TO drive, and that they had pass
ed their examinations through the
the help of other people. The clause
giving the mayor power to revoke
these privileges is meant to check
that practice.
