DEATH OF
THOS. |. CARTER

Thomas I. Carter, county auditor of
Cook county, died in Duluth hos
pital Friday night at 10 o'clock, of
Bright's disease. He was 81 years
old.
Mr.. Carter had just passed through
long siege of sickness, and never
fully recovered. He finished up his
last years business, issued his finan-
cial statment of Cook county, and a
week ago last Saturday left for Du-
hth by stage, to seek relief from
the naalady from which he suffered.
He reached there just ahead of the
big storm of that day. He registered
at the Lenox hotel and then dropped
a note to c. G. Stubstad to call and
see him ON some land matter upon
which Mr.. Stubstad took a trip to
Minneapolis the week before. As

Arms Delegates Assign American
Government to Fix Time and
Place of Meeting.
T0RENEW |VERDEBATE
Britain, Japan, France and Italy VIII
Name Representatives to Advise
on Plans for New
Conferences.

Washington-The ground work for
another International conference to
rewrite the laws of war for the sub
marine and other agencies of attack
on land and sea, was completed by
the arms delegates.
Under a resolution adopted by the
armament committee, preparations
for the new conference will begin i'm
mediately upon conclusion of the
Washington negotiations. The United
States, Great Britain, Japan, France
and Italy will be represented and the
American government will select the
exact time and place, of meeting.
PreIiminaries Up to Commission.
The first step toward revision of
warfare regulations is to be taken by
a "commission,' presumably composed
of international law experts without
plenipotentiary powers, but the resolu-
tion provides that after they have
agreed the five governments shall
"confer as to the acceptance of the
report and the course to be followed
to secure the consideration of its rec
concentrations by the other civilized
powers"
1t is taken for granted that ques-
tions OF national policy as we'll as
legal consideration will enter iEto the
final decisions reached and that the
whole problem Of the submarine, one
of the storm centers of the Washing
ton conference, will aa reopened when
the powers face each other onee
more about the council table. i
Basis Provided.
1t is possible that the tentative
agreements reached here both; as to
submarines and poison gas will be
passed along in their present form to
provide a basis for the renewed dis
cussiOns.
The armament committee adopted
the resolution at a short meeting
called while most of the other activi-
ties of the conference were waiting
on a decision of the Shantung contro-
versy The Far Eastern committee
likewise met and re-adopted its previ-
GUS declaration on the Chinese radio
situation, at the same time entering
on the record, supplemental sugges.
tions of the powers and of China on
which no unanimous agreement could
be reached.
Optimism on shantuna.
The Shantung negotiations still
hesitated just short of an agreement,
but the feeling seemed to be univer.
sal that day or two probably would
see complete acceptance of the set.

anese and Chinese was said to have

Registration Shows Gigantic Growth
in tho Use Of Trucks and Autor,o-
I bites.

Z During the year 1921, 1896, 1892 motor
vehicles were registered in the office
Of Mike Holm, Secretary of State, or
one for every seven of population
1wo-thirds of the entire population
could, therefore,, be loaded into mo-
for vehicles of the state and there
would still be space enough to accom-
snodate all the people residing in the
state of Nevada as invited guests for
the Same ride. A trip through the
department with Mr.. Holm reveals
the fact that this was tremendous
job to care for.
:; Under the law it was necessary to
examine each application and COM
pare it with the official rate book.
4 registration certificate was made
tor each one containing a description
Of the vehicle as to model and serial
numbers, the name and address of
the owner, the tax paid and other
particulars. Eight copies of this card
were made for various files, one copy
being sent to- the police department
of each Of the three large cities. The
Registration certificate was mailed
out with the plates to those whose
applications came in through the
mail. In cases where the applicant
appeared at the office in person he
was given his plates at once and the
Registration certificate was mailed
to him later. ALI these applications
were classified according to the serial
letter of the registration number and
filed away in the vault for future
reference All this procedure entai1ed
more clerical work than would have
devolved upon bank carrying &c.,
600 depositors. $5,616,113.60 were
collected in registration taxes up to
December 81, 1921. The returns from
the various counties according to Mr.
FHolm's report were as follows:

SNOW CAUSES CRASH
Audience Roaring With Laughter
: When Tragedy Happens-Heavy
Downfall of Snow Blamed for
Horrible Disaster.

Washington-Official police records
placed the known dead in the
Knickerbocker theater disaster at
'107. Elimination of duplicated names
brought the final total down from the
unofficial peak of 112 at which the
toll of the catastrophe was placed
Saturday night.
The list Of injured totaled 134 and
IA of these were recorded as critical
ly hurt. Caught beneath the falling
beams, which had been designed to
act as traverse supports for the roof,
Iscores were taken to hospitals suf.
Ifering with broken limbs or severe
internal injuries. Many were given
immediate medical attention at i'm.
provised stations hastily erected near
the scene Of the disaster.
! The official list, according to the
authorities, contained the names of
all those whose bodies had been re.
covered up to midnight from the
ruins left when the roof Of the the,
ater, overweighted with snow, COL
lapsed on the audience.
Search Nearly Over.
The volunteer workers, including
police, firemen, marines and cavalry
from Fort Myer, had practically con-
cluded their search Of the wreckage
at midnight. The only portion of
what had been the orchestra remain
ing to be searched was a far corner
in which it was not expected addi-
tional bodies would be found.
The Knickerbocker, one of the new
est and largest of the capitals mo-
tion picture houses, was rated as one
of the most exclusive, drawing its pa
tronage from the Northwest residen-
tial section in the vicinity of Upper
Connecticut avenue.
Family Groups Predominate.
Family groups predominated ir the
audience Saturday night and it was
upon these that the roof, backed by
tons of wet snow, descended with
barely a whispered warning.
The exact number in the theater
when the steel and concrete span of
the roof buckled and fell under it's
three foot load of snow probably
never will be known The stories of
perhaps hundred who got out un-
Injured have been reported. These
account for a few more than 800 in

Normally, the theater mas had everv

same unprecedented snowfall which
brought death to the venturesome

car traffic had been abandoned and
streets and sidewalks were all but
impassable with drifts.
