convention was attended by 400 police
chiefs from all parts Of the United
States IND Canada.
Would Have Uniform Automobile
Laws.
The principal effort OF the associa-
ton In regard TO automobiles. as re-
solved by the convention, will be to
induce the various states TO adopt un-
form automobile laws. so that any
one driving a car through several
states win not be bewiidered by the
change in regulations n further so
that it win be easier for the police in
the different cities to cooperate in
running down criminals. The most
important plan which they propose Is
that all automobiles travelling across
a state boundary be required to reg
lister as they cross the line.
Cars crossing a state line will be
given q ticket by tho police and their
presence in h state officially recog.
nized- In this way 1t will be possible
70 keep account of AL foreign cars
within the state and to run down n
cars which have not registered or to
pick up n criminals as they cross
the line Tho resolutions of tho con.
vention were the result of almost two
years work by h different commit
tees of investigation. and they are
believed to be a solution of the auto
mobile law difficulties in the country
Want Federal Revolver Law.
In addition to the automobile Jaws,
tho principal matters discussed by
the convention were the laws in re.
gard to the carrying OF firearms by
citizens, Much confusion has resulted
from the non-uniformity of laws in re-
gard to the carrying of revolvers and
