 The department has investigated 2,391 cases, which involved 1885 per sons. There were 2,773 persons ar rested, of whom 1,533 were indicted and 1,113 convicted. These convicted persons received sentences amount ing in the aggregate to 1856 years 6 months II days, and paid fines of S41, ,140.
 The American Automobile associa- tion took an active part in supporting the Dyer anti-theft bill, which was prepared by Representative L. c. Dyer of Missouri, who is an active member of the Automobile Club of Missouri, and who was assisted in ob- taining facts necessary for the prep aration of this measure by the Auto mobile Club of Missouri and the \. A. A. Credit for the enforcement Of the law is due largely to William J. Burns, head of the bureau of in restigatiOn.
 The outstanding feature of the Dyer aw is that it places interstate trans portation of stolen motor vehicles un- der federal law and makes such an action punishable in federal courts. t'Ormerly bands of interruptions men mad maintained assembling factories .it various points and were able to so alter {, stolen car as to make it prac- ticilly unrecognizable to the original owner

 500 nayids snu Bulidiug.

Washington. May 2,-(Special)- )-- Democratic senators are unanimous in their conclusion that If the repub- lican tariff Is enacted with the sec ton giving authority to the Presi- dent to change tariff rates up or down 50 per cent the capitol will be come the habitat exclusively of lobby ists.
 It has been repeatedly pointed out that if the President Is given such authority manufacturers. with money to spend, will maintain representa- lives in Washington for the purpose of inducing senators and House members to appeal to the President for action The same will be true of producers of the west who are represented by farm organizations. The people, likewise, will implore Congress to secure reduction in rates, 1t Is argued, but because they are not organized and have no money, the part they will play will be minor.
 AssniIed on Two Grounds
 This section of the tariff bill Is assailed on two grounds. The one is that 1t will induce lobbyists to take up permanent residence in Washing ton until the lobbyists will run the government. The other is that the power the republicans would place in the hands of the President is too great to be exercised by any fndi- vidual in republic which has llb- eral Constitution and respect for it. self
 As previously pointed out, the re- publicans, who have reached the point where they are apparently sick of their tariff bill and this section in particular, would. 1t is indicated. strike the clause If the President would indicate a desire that 1t be stricken.
 But the President up to the present time has said nothing.
