OLD D0BBIN AGAIN
KING OF ROADWAYS
Fourth Gaslcss Sunday Finds
Virtually All Automobiles
in Garages.

On Dr. Garfleld's fourth gasolene saw
ing Sunday New York registered 100 per
cent patriotism by leaving passenger
automobilesin their garages on an almost
perfect motoring day. The main arteries
OF Manhattan and the four other Dor
oughs were barren OF the usual Sunday
automobile traffic and were given over
TO the hanson cab and all kinds of horse
drawn vehicles.
Good old Dobbin came back into his
own and stepped smartly up or down the
avenue as in tho days when there were
no subwavs or automobiles He was
king for the day. even If he does have to
go back to the delivery cart or the eN
press wagon.
And another thing New York has not
seen for some years was the large num-
Der of bicycling parties New Workers.
poked around in attics and In storage
bins resurrected their old diamond
frames, pumped up the tires and started
out for a ride.
Not just the young bloods OF the fam
ilv did this either. There were several
distinct and separate family parties out
for spin on Fifth avenue yesterday
afternoon. 1t has to be admitted that
some OF the wheels were inclined TO he
more than pleased when they passed
many others who were depending on
Shank's Mare for their progress.
Getting right down to facts. however,
/ yesterday was as gasless in New York
/ as il reasonably could he. The police
reported n total absence of passenger
| automobiles; almost all OF the machines
out were professional and exempt.
7 Only two doubtful" vehicles passed over
( Manhattan Bridge Yesterday to Brook
iyn. One was a runabout and the other
was taXicab. and the chauffeurs' names
! and numbers were taken. Five physi-
clans drove across the bridge In the
same direction and a funeral cortege In
which there were six motor coaches also
! passed.
In the same period half dozen ma
| chimes crossed from Brooklyn 10 New
| York. but in each case they were being
! operated by army or navy officers
One automobile loaded with soldiers
came across from Brooklyn SO fast tina,
the police were unable 10 catch its num-
Der.
In Harlem the streets were deserted
as far as passenger automobiles were
concerned. Several physicians. driving
alone and obviously responding to calls
were seen. and there were q number OF
official army and navy cars. At the
Fort Lee ferry. which Is one of the ma!r
Harlem outlets for touring cars on fai,
Sundays, only six gasolene propelled
machines had crossed up to noon. Only
four automobiles crossed the Willis ave
nue. bridge into The Bronx in the same
period.
Riverside Drive from Grants Toni
to Seventy second street carried no mo
tor traffic except that which was right
fully abroad. and the same was true o.
Broadway, Central Park West and thu
other usual Manhattan thoroughfares.
! At the Grand Concourse and Fordhan
road. a point OF heavy congestion on {

WIVES OF BUILDERS
CHRISTEN TWO SHIPS
Steel Cargo Carriers Safely
Launched in NeOork Boy.

The Cokato and tho Pamela, steel
cargo ships were launched yesterday
morning at the Newark Bay shipyard
OF the Submarine Boat Corporation. Mrs.
Chester p. Morgan. wife OF the superin-
tendent OF the way on which the Cokato
was built, christened that vessel. while
Mrs. George Fl. Coburn named the Pa
nola. her husband having superintended
Its construction. Sunday was selected

who took part In constructing the ships
might view the launching.
At 10 o'clock the hammering beneath
the Cokato ceased. evidence that the
blocks had all been knocked from under
her and the trigger was released.
moment later the big hulk moved and
Mrs. Morgan threw a bottle Of wine
against her prov, at the same time pro-
nouncing the words that gave the craft
its name. Half an hour later the Pamela
moved and Mrs. Coburn broke another
bottle on her hull.
Both vessels slid down the ways Into
the water without a sign OF hitch and
rested on the bosom OF the bay until
tugs towed them to the canal at the
south end OF the shipyard where they
will be equipped with machinery and
prepared for sea. During the launching

PROTESTS PETROLEUM TAX.
Doherty Says War Levy
Would Check Prospectors.

Henry L. ,Doherty. chairman Of the
taxation committee OF the National Pc
troleum War Service Committee. gave
out a statement yesterday. saying in
part:
1.-The oil business already Is in a crit
!cal condition. We are drawing on re-
serve stocks at an alarming rate. Our
reserve stocks are small. Our future
supply depends upon the prospector
known in the oil business as wild
CATER The prospector cannot live
under the present bill.
1.-The statement has been made that
the amendment made In the House to
the war revenue bill will protect the
oil industry. This is far from true.
To subject the profits from prospecting
for oil to so per cent. tax and then TO
amend It only to the extent OF exempt
ing 10 per cent. of the ground value of
the OIL Is not sufficient encouragement
to prospectors"
Mr.. Doherty explained that the tax
alton of oil producers Is really a taxing
of property and not OF profits. for the
reason that when oil fields are ex-
hausted the producers property is gone.
In conclusion he said:
I'VE are not really asking that the
oil producer be favored, but that the
distinction between oil production and
other lines OF business be recognized"
