Bridge Traffic Regula,
ton Is Now Opposed
By Autoists

Protest against the present one
way street arrangement in Fairmont
will be made at the meeting Of the
Automobile club of Falrmont' this
evening at 8 o'clock, in the county
court room Of the court house. I'm
der the present arrangement the
traffic from the new bridge will be
more congested than ever say the
automobilists.
Recently the traffic was diverted
up jefferson street past the Fair
mont Hotel. Down traffic was sent
down Monroe street to. Washington.
The automobinllsts, say that going
up the Jefferson street hill throws
them in thesworst congested corner
in the clty8tth trolley cars passing
frequently. Wlth preference given
to the cars la the heart OF the city
the congestion will be worse than
ever. Then too, they say, their ma.
chimes are stopped at the hill by
the traffic officer and there is natu-
rally a backing OF one or two feet
or even more with the result that
the machine behind may ue crowd
ed into. Automobile clID Officers
have called attention to Mayor Con-
away and Chief Of Police Sliider to
the poor and unsatisfactory arrange
ment, but thus far they have mot
.receded from the original-stand tax.

IA laws in regard u licenses and
lights. ','ne Incense goes with the
car and is not the possession OF the
Individual, that is, when a car is
sold the license tag goes along with
1t. and the party. when Il secures a
new car must get a new license.
There are quite a few violations OF
the state laws In regard to carrying
lights. The plain lenses are Illegal.
One Of the points that Mr.. White
will explain is that it is necessary
to carry a license tag In front as
well as in the rear Of the machine.
Although these. laws are familiar to
most autoists they are nevertheless
disregarded and the,violator throws
himself open 70 arrest.

SELF-G0VERNMENT FOR EGYPT URGED
 IN M|LNER REPORT
Says FulfilIment of Self f-Gov- ernment Promise Cannot Be Postponed and Now Is
 Time to Act
By Associated Press

London, February 1S.-Negotiations with the Egyptian government for the conclusion of treaty according self government to Egypt are strongly ad- v.sed in long-awaited report by Lord Miner, former colonial secretary on the Egyptian question, presented to Parlia- nient today.
 The negotiations should be entered upon by the British government without undue delay, Lord Miner declared
 The self-government grant, according accommodations of the report. would De accompanied by the necessary reser- vations upon holding the essential Brit sh interests and protecting the rights of foreign residents.
 The report expresses the opinion that it would be a great misfortune if the present opportunity was lost.
 A fulfillment of promise of self-gov- ernment cannot be postponed, it says. ihe spirit of nationalist Egypt cannot be extinguished. and an attempt to govern the country in the teeth of a hostile people is a difficult and disgrace ful task.
 There are formidable difficulties, however in a sudden and complete
 
 Egyptian hands," adds the document. Tt is essential to insure that independ- ent Egypt does not pursue foreign policy hostile or prejudicial to the in- terests of the British empire. It is also imperative to insure the safety and pro- tect the rights of foreign residents.
 We hold that in fact, as well as in theory Egypt should be governed by Egyptians. We have sufficient faith in the reform work of the last 70 years to believe such a course now can be foi- lowed with good prospects of success. bit it must be adopted wholeheartedly and in . spirit of hopefulness and sym pathy.
 eve do not attempt to conceal our conviction that Egypt is not yet in a position to dispense with British as- sistance in her internal administration. We are greatly fortified in the belier that the Egyptians will acduiesce in this view by our own experience in dealing with representatives of the Egyptians, with whom we have come in such intl- mate contact We are not discouraged by the fact that they are not all as vet prepared to commit themselves un- reservedly to every point in a settle
