Several new automobile laws
went into effect yesterday. The
most important of these requires
any person operating a public
garage or repair shop to keep a
record for public inspection of the
name and kind of car, license
number and engine number of all
automobiles taken in or held in
charge by the garage for sale,
rental, livery or repair. This re-
cord is also to contain the name
and address of the person deliver
ing the car to the garage. If an
engine number is altered the owner
or proprietor of the garage is re-
quired to notify the police at once
and to hold the car for investigat-
ion. A failure to comply with
this law is made a misdemeanor.
punishable by Imprisonment in the
county Jail not exceeding one year,
or by a fine of $500 or both.
This law also makes it a felony
for any person to buy or have in
his possession an automobile upon
which the motor number has been
defaced.

Sudden Death

Mrs. Fred Hanson died suddenly
from heart failure at the family
home three miles northwest of La
clede Wednesday afternoon.
She had not been feeling we'll
and some member of the family
called DIR. Burke. He found her
sitting up and on examination an
nounced her in a dangerous con-
dition and ordered her to bed. To
this she objected, saying she was
not much sick and complained be-
cause the doctor had been sum-
moned. The next instant her
breath left her and she passed
away without even a gasp.
She was born at Oslowo, Sch
wells, Germany, April q, 1858.
The family bought the fine farm on
which they live about twenty years
ago, coming here from Iowa.
Funeral services will be held at
the home Friday afternoon at 2:3O

LacIede Being Filmed

How about Laclede going en-
masse to greet General Pershing
when he arrives in New York?
1t may not be possible literally
but with the modern cinema the
plan already is under Way.
HIP. Brown, of the International
Film Service, New York, is here
and is making a special reel, show
ing the town of Laclede. Already
number of scenes have been
taken, other are contemplated.
He especially desires a large
attendance at the Methodist church
next Sunday. The congregation
will be photographed arriving and
leaving the morning service.
Among all the din and clamor
that will mark the arrival of
Americas famous general, and
LacIede's former citizen, in New
York, none will touch his heart so
deeply as the sight of nls old home
town and his boyhood chums when
they will be shown to him there
on a screen.
Citizens generally will be glad
to assist Mr.. Brown in any way
they can to get the pictures he
desires.

lives Of the pFcsg shall be adj
mftted to the meetings Of the full
peace conference but upon neccs-
sary occasions the deliberations
OF tho conference may he held in
camera
THIS ruling was adopted by the
conference OF the powers at the
Quail D'OTsny today and Is OIL
cially announced in tonight's
communiquc.
II means an important victory
for publicity and open diplomacy
but the surrender OF secrecy Ia
not unconditional. Important re-
servations are attached to IL, the
principal one hcdnx contained in
the ruling itself which means that
whenever the peace conferces
deem II necessary they cnn ex-
cludc the press. The reasons for
this are set forth in a long state-
ment contained In the official
cDmmunfQuc.
REASONS GIVEN.
These reasons constitute. in effect.
an argument that to grant all that the
newspaper men are demanding
namely free and open sessions and
free AMI open communication between
AttE ptSIlipotCfllidkIC5 dilA ting GoANC
spcnden s-would mean premature
publicity. which might result In con-
troversies between whole nations and
therefore hinder rather than help the
conclusion OF Just and speedy peace.
Emphasis ID laid upon the assertion
that the sort Of publicity demanded
by the Newspaper men would result
In dangerous delay.
The decision as communicated to
the. press. tonight. on the face OF It.
virtually divides the peace conferences
into two sections full conferences" 1t
which the press viii be represented
ana camera sessions' from which the
press will be barred. In these latter
sessions subjects win be threshed out
upon which the powers may at pres
emit hold many diverse views" the
statement says.
An important statement in the COM
muniQue is this:
mo nation can be committed except
by the free vote of it's own delegates.
The deliberations cannot proceed BY
the method Of a majority vote"
MARTYRS REPRESENTED.
Belgium and Serbia. the two martyr
Kingdoms Of the war are going to have
three delegates each.
Revision OF the original ruling
giving Belgium two, and Serbia only
one delegate. was decided upon at
today's conference. the last before the
peace conference proper opens to-
morrow.
Tho new decision came as the re-
suit Of most energetic protest by
both Belgium and Serbia and powers
particularly attached to them by
bonds of sympathy and friendship.
The king of Hedjas is to be repre-
sented by two delegates. This add
tionai representation was also decided
upon today.
TERMS ARE READ.
After these things had been settled
and the terms Of the renewal OF the
armistice had been read by Premier
Clemenceau. the conferences launched
into 1 practiced debate upon the
question Of the hour-publicity. The
net result OF this debate was the de-
feat OF the fullest and frankest pub
