material available, and the battle was
to be test between matrimony and

won, the score being 10 to 4. The de-

due to the failure of the latest recruit

MOTOR TRAFFIC ALMOST
BANISHED FROM DUBLIN
STREETS, SAYS REPORT

Dublin. Jan. Motor traffic mas
been almost completely banished
from the streets of Dublin and numer-
Gus other Irish cities and towns as
result of the governments order re-
auiring owners and drivers of all
kinds of automobiles to obtain per-
mits from the police to operate their
cars.
The automobile owners were will
ing to apply for permits, and mad no
difficulty in obtaining them. but the
drivers, some of whom anticipated
failure to convince the police of their
freedom from Sim Fein sympathies,
refused to do so. A few owners whose
chauffeurs refused to apply for per-
mits, dismissed them. and the men
made a trades union matter of IT.
They have invited sympathetic strikes
by all transport workers.
The situation amounts 10 a whole
sale strike of the motor drivers. Since
the order became effective there have
been no cars on the streets except
those driven by their owners. Most
Dublin traders had adopted motor
traction for the delivery of their goods
to customers. Failure to get drivers
has interfered with trade. The news
papers in the evening reach their
readers much later than usual for the
same reason.
A deputation from the motorists
union went to London but they failed
to move the government from its de-
cision.
The government regards its order
ais necessary to prevent criminals
from using fast cars in which to
escape after committing crime,

this city has issued statement re-
garding the present status of the ia
nous gasoline tax case, which is now
before the supreme court of the Unit

There seems TO be some misunder-
standing as to the status of the gaso-
line cases now pending before the su-
preme court of the United states and
in which argument on the one issue
is to be had January ), 1920.
Suit was brought by three oil com
panies for a permanent injunction to
prevent the enforcement of the sat
ute of 1919, requiring a license tax
from gasoline dealers and distributors,
and an excise tax of 2 cents a gallon
upon all gasoline sold or used The
i,district court was asked for a tenn
pprary restraining order and granted
it, which was good for five days, and
on the application for a temporary in
junction the question was referred,
under Section 266 of the judicial code,
! to three United States Judges, OF whom
at least one should be a justice of the
supreme court of the United States or
judge of the United states circuit
court Of appeals Hearing was had
upon the application for a temporary
Injunction at St. Paul. The application
was granted on the condition that the
state Of New Mexico be protected by
adequate bond, and after considera-
| ton bonds to be given were fixed as
/ follows: Continental OIL company
| $25, zoe: the Texas copany, $4,000;
/ Sinclair Refining company. $500;
| with statement by the presiding
| Judge, Walter II. Sanborn, that the
state couid DE protected by a bond I'M
! til the case was finally decided, where
as the plaintiffs, If the temporary i'm
| junction was refused, would be unahle
| to recover back the excise taxes paid
