Motorists Must Bare Past
10 CetLicense to DriUe Car.

A tentative list Of questions which
applicants for automobile drivers
licenses in New York City will be called
upon to answer under the new Knight
Wheelock law were read to automobile
men, representatives of the Police De-
partment and city magistrates yester-
day by Francis M. Hugo, Secretary Of
State.
The law gives the Secretary of State
power to revoke or suspend licenses
upon the recommendation of any Judge
or city magistrate. 1t calls for the ex-
animation of all applicants for chauf-
feurs and owner-operator's licenses.
Under the old law only chauffeurs had
to pass examinations.
Mr.. Hugo read his list Of more than
thirty questions at meeting at the
Hotel Commodore, attended by Magis-
trates Cobb and House. of the Traffic
Court; Deputy Police Commissioner
Harriss and representatives of auto
clubs and motor car dealers associa-
tions. The questions called for in
formation on such subjects as the fol-
lowing:
Have you ever gone by any other
name or alias?
Have you ever been convicted of any
felony?
Have you ever been incarcerated in
any asylum?
Do you use intoxicating liquors?
Are you addicted to the use of NOR
phine, heroin or any other narcotic
drug?
Are you suffering from any nervous
affection?
Although Mr.. Hugo explained that
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-05-25

the list, prepared under that section
of the act which authorizes the Sec
rotary of State to require such proof
or the applicants fitness as he shall
deem proper, was tentative and subject
to change, considerable opposition to
it developed at the meeting. Charles
T. Terry, counsel for the American
Automobile Association, declared that
the general effect of questions such as
Mr.. Hugo read would be to irritate the
public.
"The thousands of citizens Of this
city who apply for licenses will not
tolerate such questions" Mr.. Terry de-
clared. ut seems to me that you're
simply asking a lot of personal oues-
tons which will be resented by honest
people and which will give the dis
honest driver ample chance to lie. Be-
cause of that. the answers in many
cases will be absolutely worthless and
won't help bit to determine the ap-
plicant's fitness to drive a car"
"Not at ALL" said Secretary Hugo.
"Of course, | mean to go over this list
and make changes but these questions
will enable us to get general idea of
the drivers fitness. Furthermore, we
will give road tests in cases where we
deem them necessarily
Magistrate Cobb, who favored the
questions, said "a definite proportion
of persons operating motor cars in New
York City ought to be driven off the
highways. They range from ex-con
victs to drug addicts." The magistrate
referred to chauffeurs as a class, in
Guiding "men who physically and
morally ought not to be driving cars
continuously"

The reward for the arrest and con-

LABOR TROUBLES
DELAY MAGAZINES

Unprecedented troubles in the print
ing and publishing trades in New York
City is delaying the publication of a
number of prominent magazines.
Among these is the November num-
her of Cosmopolitan, which ordinarily
would now be on sale in Albuquerque,
as well as all over the United States
The publishers are planning an edition
of 1,230,S63 copies--largest in the his
tory of the Cosmopolitan magazine.
Wholesalers in this vicinity, howev-
err, have been informed that the next
issue Of Cosmopolitan may reach here
anywhere from ten days to two weeks
later than usual---and may, indeed.
reach here even later than that.
Everything depends upon the labor sit
uation
This will naturally be a grave dis
appointment to those who are reading
Cosmopolitan regularly and are in the
habit of getting about the tenth OF
each month.
Among the novels now appearing Sc
rally in Cosmopolitan, publication OF
which will be delayed are kindred
of the Dust" by Peter D. Kyne; THE
Crimson Tide" by Robert w Cham
bers and Uneasy Street." by Arthur
Somers Roche.
1t is hard enough to wait for the
short stories we may expect to FIND
in the next Cosmopolitan without be-
ing kept in suspense by the continual
ton of the joys and sorrows of the
characters depicted by the eminent
novolists.
An advertisement in the Albuquer-
que Morning Journal will announce
the appearance of the next issue OF
