Why States Is Taking

In answer to the inquiries of many

issued today, and a copy placed on

automobile department at the state

Connecticut asking for certain infor-

cars by the state or nation in case OF
an emergency are, being received at
the State library where they are be-
ing arranged and their contents made
available for service in time of need.
A general desire and willingness to do
everything necessary are evident in
all parts of the state.
I'm view of the questions which are
being asked each day by. motor vehicle
owners Of the state the automobile CEN
sus bureau finds it advisable to issue
some general explanation as to the
purpose and intention Of the ques-
tons asked on the blanks sent out.
''It is the desire of Governor, Hol-
comb to obtain concrete information
concerning every licensed motor We
hicle, including electric vehicles, in
the state, and a declaration of the
owners willingness or unwillingness,
ability or inability, to offer for the
use of the state in case of an emer-
sency his car or cars in one or more
Of the classes designated on the back
Of the card Where owners have al
ready offered their cars to local Home
Guard bodies, transport corps and or
ganizations of a similar nature, all
that is necessary in such cases is for
the owner to fill out and return to the
automobile census bureau, State Ii
brary, Hartford, the blank with de-
scription of his car and state on the
face Of the blank the specific branch
of service to which his car has been
offered. Such prior registration will
in no way conflict with the registra-
ton asked for by the governor on the
blanks sent out by the automobile

Peter Jackson Fought
Great Contest With
Cardiff in Old Days

4
It was on this date in 1889 that the
great Peter Jackson fought his third
battle in America, defeating Patsy
Cardiff in 10 rounds at San Fran
cisco. The big black man from AUS
tralia had previously whipped George
Godfrey, the Boston negro, and Joe
McAuliffe, and by taking Cardiff into
camp he proved that he was a dan
gerous contender for the honor then
held by John L. Sullivan. Cardiff
was a good man, who had fought q
draw with John L. in Minneapolis a
couple of years before, and lacked
only courage to be a top-notcher.
After the Cardiff bout jackson
started east, beating all corners en-
route. On his return to America af-
ter triumpha1 tour Of England,
Jackson challenged Sullivan, but the
latter drew the color line. Peter then
fought Corbett, and they went sixty
one rounds to draw.
