IN FIRST TEST VQ|I<I ON WAR
REORGANIZATJC<I MEASURE
SENATORS DEFEAT AMENDMENTS
To EXCEPT FEDERAL RESERVE AND.

lNILn0lHlL UUWIW
Washington, April 27.-Vic-
tory for the administration in
the long senate fight over the
bill to confer blanket authority
on the president to reorganize
government departments and
war agencies was forecast late
today in the defeat, by narrow
margins, of amenments eX-
empting the Federal Reserve
board ind Interstate Commerce
Commission from the operation
Of the law.
Both amendments were Of
fered by Senator Smith of
Georgia, and opponents Of the
bill concentrated their stength
on them. The first, to exempt
the Federal Reserve board, was
rejected, Al to 81, and the sec
ond, relating to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, was
voted down, AZ to 35.
With these tests of strength,
which administration leaders said,
and senators among the opposition
admitted, presaged passage OF the
bill without limitations on the
blanket authority insisted upon by
President Wilson, the senate ad-
joprned until Monday, when it was
expected the bill would be passed
without important changes.
Ten Democrats Oppose.
In the votes on the amendments
today, ten Democratic senators yot-
ed TO limit the presidents author
ity. Seven Republicans, however
voted with the Democratic major
ity against exemptiug Federal Re
serve board. Another Republican,
Senator Borah, OF Idaho, joined
them in voting down the amend
ment affecting the Interstate Com
merce Commission
The roll call ON fine amendment
to excent the Federal Reserve
board, on which leaders Of the op-
position had stated they expected
to muster their maximum strength.

AUTOMOBILE HORN
MAY Be NUISANCE

In olden days It was compulsory to
have bells on the horse when drawing
a sleigh. The bells were to give warn
ing of the sleigh's approach around a
curve or over q hill. Soon after the
coming Of tho bicycle 1t became ap-
parent that some means Of signaling
it's approach was necessary. The BIZ
cycle bell or horn was not to warn
people to get out Of the way. 1t was
to warn folks that you were looking
out for them. and that. unless they
stepped suddenly in your path. they
might feel assured that you would not
run into them.
With the coming Of the automobile
the use Of horns was continued. early
electrics and some others using q bell.
says H. Clifford Brokaw. principal Of
the West Side Y. NJ. c. A. Automobile
School Of New York. They were the
continuance Of tho bicycle warning.
and when the automobile was popu-
larizing itself 1t was understood that
the bell or horn was merely to prevent
others from walking into danger.
With the universal use of tho auto
mobile for pleasure. business and

transportation purposes there came
talk about the rights OF the autoist.
ana the horn began peremptorily. to
order folks to get out of the way or
get run over. The present attitude Of
autoists in general. I believe. Is due
to the mistaken notion that they have
rights in the roadway. while the pc.
destrian's rights are confined to the
sidewalks and crossings. 1t is noticea-
BILE that not ono arrest for refusing
to keep off the roadway has been
made-or. at least. sustained by the
courts. The policeman may frown at
the man who tries to 60 contrary to
traffic rule. but that IL all.
Out of this misunderstanding there
has come such a constant use OF horns
as to make it continual nuisance
on thickly travelled streets. and even
on the much-traveled highways in the
country. And the nuisance is not from
the necessary signaling to other cars
or vehicles. but the unnecessary toot-
ing the driver does because he wants
everybody to know that he 10 coming.
A certain amount OF signaling ID
needed in driving. but 1t is possible to
drive through the thick traffic from
the Battery to Harlem without footing

The coal shortage for next winter,

Farmers now use on their farms 49,
