AUTO LICENSE LAW
CAUSES CONFUSION
Dealers Tags Can Be Used Only for
Tests or Demonstrations and
Not Commercially

Automobile dealers of the State are
much concerned over a clause in the
state laws governing the use of au-
tomobiles, which calls for the pur-
3 chase of State license for each tour
ing car or truck which is used for
any purposes other than demonstrat-
ing or testing the merits of the car
before a prospective customer.
This clause, which it is said, is I'M
familiar to most of those engaged in
the automobile business in the State,
was brought to their attention last
Friday, when Harry Smart, a colored
driver for the White Company, of Will
mingtOn, was arrested by a policeman
on the charge of driving a truck, bear
ing the dealers license, for towing
another machine. According to the
law, the truck should have borne 9TH
er than one issued to a dealer. The
case was heard in Wilmington City
Court Saturday before Judge Daniel
o. Hastings and dismissed.
In dismissing Smart, however, |
Judge Hastings announced that the
automobile dealers will have to OBJ /
serve more strictly than some have
been doing the provisions of this new
law relating to the use of dealers Ii
cense tags. Such tags are to be used
only on those cars that are used for
demonstrating purposes or for tests
and are not to be displayed on cars
that are being used for commercial
purposes, he said.
This section of the law, in its strict
said one dealer, will
make it impossible for dealer to ev-
en- use his cars to solicit customers,
Or to visit prospective customer, or
for the transportation of a car to
new station. This being the case, the
dealers say, the profit gained in sell ,
ing a certain number of cars in .
year will be greatly decreased by the I
purchase of state licenses for each
and every car sold, as such bears a i
different motor. number. 6
Nearly all of the local automobile
dealers, as well as garage owners, ac- {
,essory and supply agents, have been {
Using their cars for most of the du- G
les connected with their work on the a
lealer's license in the past, and the /
strict enforcement of the above clause z
will cause them a great deal of trou- t
Die and expense, they say. Some of S
hem are much concerned over it and b
believe it to be unfair However, it is T
he law and must be obeyed unless it {
S changed by the Legislature. il

seclusion Of the palatial Los Angeles
home, awaiting further legal steps in

here, more trouble Is piling up for
him.

legally. Mccormack declared that the
liquor for the Arbuckle party came
from Gobey's Grill. The place was
raided, but the large liquor cache
which the officials expected to get had
been spirited away.
At least two other prominent per-
sons will figure In the prosecution
planned against the film star, the
assistant attorney general indicated.
A witness, whose identity is care
fully hidden, revealed to Mccormack
the source of the Arbuckle liquor and
also the existence Of a coastwise boot
leg ring.
Practical elimination Of Mrs. Bam-
bina Maude belmont as a witness
against Arbuckle in the granddaughter
case is believed to have been de-
termined upon by the district attor-
ney's office. Her testimony has been
carefully sifted and its failure to check
with other important witnesses, II Ia
believed. will have the result of her
being dropped as a witness.

begin actual disarmament through

Attitude Not Conclusive.
The present attitude of the powers

however, as an actual forecast OF the
position they will take when the
Washington Conference on Limitation

The League Assembly today voted

The canvass Of delegates by the In

upon the disarmament committees
resolution that the various nations
limit their military and naval ex-

amount spent in 1921. That resolu-

Spokesman OF the japanese. British,
