New Orleans, Las Sept. 14.-The
whole city mourned the death OF John
McCdnty we'll known character,
who was buried here last Saturday.

the city that did not recognize Nc

the dumb and helpless creatures.

Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

some OF the city's most respected citi-
zens.

BARASA FOR STATE S
ATTORNEY

The various factions OF the Repub-
licau Party are closing one OF the
most spectacular campaigns ever held
in the political history OF this city.
Cook County, which has been the
storm center OF factional political ac-
tivtes, has witnessed a fight unparal-
lelled in previous political campaigns.
The most important Office from the
standpoint OF the people appears TO be
that OF States Attorney. For this
office there are three contenders. all
soliciting the votes of the various
groups OF the county. It is very es-
sential that members OF our race scan
with critical eye the record of the
man TO whom they give their support
for the office OF states attorney, es-
pecially at this critical period OF OUT
civil and political existence.

Denied Reduction of Sentence
by Judge Carpenter

Hopes for the early release of
Jack Johnson. the famous ex-
champion of the world, began to
fade when he was for the second
time sentenced to serve one year
and one day in the Fort Leaven-
worth prison for violation of the
Mann Act, by Judge Carpenter

1t will be remembered that
Johnson surrendered to Federal
authorities on July 20. after his
self-imposed exile of six years in
foreign lands.

why he voluntarily gave up and

put forth was that Johnson had
been promised immunity by sew

country. Other reasons given
were that Johnson was persona

and that he was k5actically forced
to return to this country, as he
had nowhere else to go. 1t is
said that Johnson had been given
ten days to leave Mexico, and
had been refused entry to every

Winter makes it impossible for

gomery and Mobile.
Although this route is usually pass
able even in mid-winter, it is under no
circumstances "a pleasure trip, and
many automobilists arrange TO ship
their cars by boat TO New Orleans Or
Galveston, preferably the latter. since
the road between those cities is never
IN good condition, and in wet weather
IS liable to be impa ssable. Once at
Galveston the motorist is assured of a
satisfactory road clear across to Los
Angeles, and hence his chief difficulty
would be in the inability to secure &C.
comm odatiohs for his car on the NAL
lory Line boat. Since this line operates
boat about once in every three weeks,
1t is necessary to make reservations

Service between New York And New
Orleans by the Southern Pacific Line
is much more frequent, boats being
scheduled to leave every Wednesday
during January and February. How
ever, one of the boats operated by this
line is temporarily out Of service, which
naturally Affects the present sailing
schedule. .-,.
Those wishing to ship their cars by
boat to Jacksonville will no doubt find
1T necessary to make rAttrvAti6ns sew
eral weeks in advance, owing to The
unusual demand for space on these
boats. The only alternative is to 3hI1

which involves another shipment by
rail from Savannah to Jacksonville.
The road between these two points is
impossible at present.
AS result of an extensive inyesti
cation Of the shipping facilities to

has compiled exhaustive data Including

Motorists, dealers and students of

proposal of G: H. Larson, president of

YORK City create a Traffic Commits
sioner to act as liaison officer between
the th vast aut1mobile-driving public and
the various bureaus and departments
OF the municipality.
1t IL Mr.. Larson's contention that
tho establishment of the office Of Traf-
no Commissioner is required by the
very existence Of the approximate half
million motor propelled vehicles in
New York. Mr.. Larson maintains that
commissioner in whom proper and
adequate authority would be vested
could protect better the interests of
both the automobile owner and the
non.owner than is the case to-day.
within short time" Mr.. Larson
declares. 1--WE shall be brought abruptly
to the conclusion that the congestion
in our streets and the need of en-
forcemeht Of old regulations and the
adoption Of new ones, make a Traffic
Commissioner an absolute necessity
1t certainly requires no great amount
Of vision to foresee the era in which
vehicular traffic will choke the thor
oukhfares. if the complications are not
anticipated and the remedies decide d
uopn at once.
~ do not advocate placing the COM
plete power over automobilists in the
hands of commissioner, because such
step would not be practicable. in
my opinion. Most of the city's de-
partments have some sort Of jurisdic-
tion over phase Of motoring, or they
touch the motorist in one way or
another. and it would not be feasible
to withdraw this control from each of
them.
What is desired is liaison Officer
an official who shall work in coopera-
tion with the motorists and their as
soclations, as we'll as with the mu-
nicipal bureaus, and who shall strive
to narmonize the interests Of those
who have machines and those who have
not.

Sure Not to Have Cars
Enough-Van Alstyne
Marmon Dealer Tells About the
Success Exhibit Registered
i'm Show Week


T. B. Van Alstyne, president of the
Marmon Automobile Company, of New
York, is prominent among those dealers
who are confident there will be short
age OF cars before the middle Of sum-
mer, II not before, and he is urging
prospective buyers to place their orders
early to get prompt deliveries.
I'VE received so many opders at the
show, just concluded said Mr.. Van AL
styne. land interest was so great we are
convinced that there is no question Of a
shortage of cars long before the demand
is satisfied There seems to be several
reasons for this. First, more buyers
who have made profitable Investments
during and since the war; second, manu-
factursrs have not been able to speed
up production to take care of even the
normal demand, and third people are
buying more fine cars than ever before,
etc.
This was by far the largest show
we ever have had. We sold more cars
than in previous years and got the
names of more persons who are inter
ested in buying. Many smaller dealers
be made by handling the high priced
cars and are making efforts to get agen-
cies in the smaller towns. Unqnestion-
ably more Marmons will be sold in rural
communities than ever before.
"Of course, we realize that the ad-
vanced engineering features Of the new
series Marmon, with its high efficiency
motor, together with the unique display
at local hotel, had much to do with
placing impetus behind our sales. The
fact that our motor can be torn down
and completely rebuilt ready for run
ming in one hour four minutes had
much to do with making it one Of the
favorites. | predict a wonderful year
for all manufacturers and am confident
the Marmon company will share this
business"

Get Right After g
Your 1920 Plates

New license plates for all auto i.
mobiles are required in New York
State after February l. 1t is going.
to be little bit harder than usual
this year to distribute the. plates.
The increased number of automo-
bilists and the new system Of COM
putting license fees based on horse
power and sale price Of the car will.
tend to delay the issuance Of
licenses.
It behooves every motorist who
, intends to license his car for 1920
to get his application for plates in
now and not to wait until the last
moment. 1t is, of course, too much
to expect that every one will attend
to this thing promptly, and very
likely there will be repeated the
happenings of the last few years.
That is to say, there will be crowds.
waiting in line the last four or five
days of this month, and perhaps it
will be necessary to extend The
