the approach of the motor vehicle.

utes after sunset to thirty minutes be-
fore sunrise, all vehicles, motor driven,
shall display at least one lighted lamp
on the front, the lens of which shall
be frosted. shaded, colored, c0rrugat-
ed or otherwise constructed as to
break the glare of the reflector so as
to produce a nom giaring light. Every
motor vehicle shall have displayed on
the rear thereof, red light visible
from the rear, the white rays of such.
reas. light shall shine upon and illum-
mate the number plate carried on the
rear of such vehicle so that said num-

well Of New York becomes a law.

ton Of the vestry OF any parish or
separate congregation women's dis
abilities may be removed and they
may vote and hold office. as is now
conferred upon men by existing law

by the women for a voice in church
affairs, which took the form of a De
tition signed by two hundred Of them

fourth Annual Convention Of the
Protestant Episcopal Church The
convention passed resolutions asking
Congress TO amend the charter grant e.

WARNS Of DRIVE
AGAINST LAND BILL

Sounding a warning that there is :
campaign being conducted DELHI
erately to poison the mind OF the pub
lie and OF Congress against the Mon
dell bill providing for community
agricultural settlements for dis
charged soldiers. Congressman y. !
Sinnott Of Oregon. chairman of the
Public Lands Committee. today called
attention TO the misrepresentation
that has been made against the meas
urP
Poison is being sent among South
ern members Of Congress that this
bill Is a big scheme TO irrigate West.
ern arid lands" Mr.. Sinnott declared
AT the same time the minds of West
ern members are being poisoned. or
an attempt is being made to poison
them. against this bill on the groUnI
that IL Is intended to buy and drain
swamp lands Of the South. Among
Northern members the bill is &c
scribed as one to irrigate desert lands

swamps.

COCCHI AIDEDBY
ROW OVER FIUME

BOLOGNA, Italy. June 10-Ths
trial OF Alfredo Cocchi. who muir
dered Ruth Cruger in New York on
February 10. 1911, is fixed for June
% next. It is improbable that the per
petrator OF the crime will receive
punishment more severe than ten
years solitary confinement America
and Americans are far from popular
in Italy since the question OF restor-
ing Fiume arose in the Paris confer
ence. and IL is likely that this preju-
dice will weigh with the Jurors who
will hear evidence against Cocchi.
As Cocchi has confessed his crime
before trial he cannot be sentenced
to more than twenty years solitary
confinement. He has already passed
more than two years IN prison, ana
that will count for him when SEN
tence Is imposed. Besides. in all prob
ability he will benefit by the terms OF
the royal amnesty issued recently to
celebrate the victorious termination
Of the war.
There is not the slightest chance
that Cocchi will be extradited to
America to be tried a second time. No
proof exists that he ever intended TO
become an American citizen. Only an
act OF parliament could make his eX-
tradition legal. and in the present
state Of feeling toward America no
one, here or in Rome, will attempt TO
amend the Italian code Of laws ard
send Cocchi to the United States and
the electric chair.

TROOPS NOT NEEDED
ON BORDER, BELIEF

Continued reports Of Villa sue
cesses in northern Mexico today left
Administration officials unchanged in
their view that there are sufficient
troops there to meet any conting-
enCy.
Though reports from unofficial
sources in Mexico indicate presence
OF Villa troops within 100 miles OF
the border. and capitulation of the
Federal garrison at Juarez, just
across the Mexican border. is expect
ed in case of an attack. ii is declared
here there is no cause for uneasi-
ness.
General Cabelrs report declaring
unnecessary mobilization OF two bril-
gades Of Texas national guard cav
airy, as asked by Governor Hobby of
Texas, is expected TO be final as far
as the War Department is concerned.
CabeH declared fatty there are plenty
OF regulars in Texas to prevent trou-
BILE.
Much OF the confidence felt by of
fcials here that there will be no trou-
BILE is due to the fact that Gen. Felipe
Angeles is in charge OF the Villa
movement Angeles, educated in
France and distinctly friendly to
Americans. is expected to prevent any
aggression by wild Villistas against
border Americans.
One reason why army men are OPP
posed to calling out the First and
Second Texas cavalry brigades. il is
understood, is that they are declared
here to be in no shape for mobiliZa-
ton. Reports made recently indicate.
it is said. that il would take at least
three months to get the brigades in
any sort of fighting shape.

BELIEVE WAR PAY OF
NAVY TO BE Permanent
Copyright, 1913.
BY R L GOLDBERG

Lieut.. G. s. Horne, officer in charge
of the local navy recruiting station.
3O6 Ninth street northwest, was mott
fed by the recruiting inspector of the
eastern division today that the pres
ent war pay Of men in the navy will
be made permanent under the terms OF
the new appropriation bill now before
Congress.
The House Naval Affairs Committee
has promised naval authorities, il is
understood, that the provision to keep
navy pay on the present war basis will
become a law.
Lieutenant Horne was instructed
that, while no positive assurance can
be given navy applicants that this
item will be included in the bill at
passage, its enactment into law seems
certain.

BALTIMORE HAS +.
TOOMUCH LIQUOR

BALTIMORE, June 1O.-But twenty
more days to get the more than
1000. 900 gallons of booze out of the
bonded warehouses OF this district
and it can't be done Moreover, no
body seems TO be trying to get it
out in any great quantities.
On June l there were in the bond
ed warehouses 5.S99.5O3 gallons of
whiskey, s319 gallons of gin. and
1860 gallons OF alcohol, or CO.
ogne spirits, and since then the with
drawals have been very light, even
lighter than they were in April and
May. II had been expected that the
wIthdra walls would grow tremendous
ly as the date for national prohibit
ticn approached. but that does not
seem to have been the case. In April
there were 453.4ss gallons with
drawn. while the May withdrawal
amounted to only 46N.55s gallons.
about 1000 gallons more than were
Withdrawn in April. Thus far the
June average per day has not been
up to that for May and now the in
ternal revenue officials are saying
that the Withdrawals probably will
fall off tremendously il not cease
altogether after June Is.
The reason for this is that the
railroads are not guaranteeing de-
liveries Of shipments. particularly of
liquors shipped as freight. and most
OF the saloons and hotels of Balti-
more now have more than enough
on hand to last them until JUly1,
when the country will go dry under
the wartime prohibition act and they
are not going to buy. the stuff and
nay a tax Of $40 a gallon on il
for the sake Of holding it and seeing
what is going to happen. Moreover.
the men who have been buying whis-
KEY in order to hold IL for their per
sonsl use after tho country becomes
dry seem TO he about stocked up. and
there are said 10 he few purchases
now being made to he boarded M
against the long period Of drought
that is soon 70 set in
Most Of the whiskey now in the
bonded warehouses will stay there
and it is likely TO be
come a serious problem for the Gov
eminent. The warehouses will have
to be maintained. and a large force
OF employees, such as watchmen and
clerks. to guard and keep a check
on the liquor in bond. will have to
be employed. Congress will have to
wrestle with the subject and arrange
some means. either Of confiscating the
liquor and destroying 1t. or of per
its use in medicinal or other
And If il does the lat
ter, it probably will have to reduce
the tax materially.
