Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 9.-James L..
Beavers, former chief of the Atlanta
police department, convicted on
charges involving ineficiency and in
subordination, early this morning
was exonerated and reinstated as
chief by the police commission. be-
fore which the case was tried for a
third time. Beavers waived all claim
to back salary, amounting to approXi-
mately $4,000.

been convicted on two charges. The
case was carried to the Fulton Supe-
rior Court on writ of ceriorari and
returned to the commission, after
which he was again convicted on
amended charges. The case then was

second time on another certiorari and
returned to the commission, the third

times, resulting in his exonera-
ton and subsequent reinstatement.

John Redmond, the Irish leader,
said his object in rising was to en-
phasize that what the premier and
Mr.. Asquith had said was the absolute
unanimous sentiment of the house.
The Irish troops, he said, had shed a
lustre upon their race, and, however
torn by dissension or misfortune their
country might be at this moment, he
believed that the whole Irish race to-
day was filled with pride and graft
tude for their achievements.

ing the last year and half had bit
ter trial imposed upon them in the
events happening in their own coun-
try" he declared. ''Those events have
not touched their valor or their loyal
ty. They have remained one in their
motto.
But nevertheless many of them
had thought that they were going to
fight not only for liberty of the world
but in special sense for the happi-
ness, prosperity and liberty of Ire
land. Now they have seen section
at any rate of their country men at
home repudiate that idea. If my
voice could reach them, I would say
that they need have no misgivings.
that they were right from the first

they are fighting for liberty and civil
lization in Europe they are also fight
ing for the civilization and liberty of

Oregon Will Have
Above $4,000 Autos
by End of the Year

A statement issued from the auto
mobile department of the secretary of
Is office shows the wonderful in
crease in the number of motor vehicles
in the state. A comparison is made

The total number of autos at the end
of the year 1916 was 3S,917, while the
number for the IL months ending
October 81, 1917, was 1882. This is
an increase of 1895, and is practical
ly gain of so per cent.
The number of motor cycles has in
creased but little. 1916 showing 1865,
and 1917 only 1894 up to the end of
October. For the year 1916 the fees
received by the department amounted
to $146,254, and for the ten months of
1917 the total was sl94, $3.50. BY the
end of the year the number of autos
owned in the state will be in excess
of $4,000 and the income from this
source for the year will be above
5000. 900.
During the month of October 1925
autos were registered, and it is prob
able at least 1000 viii be added before
the end Of the year.
