THROW AWAY TIRES,
 DRIVE ON RIMS
Cote and Bellerose and Ancient Car Have a Wild Day on
 the Highway
Five Counts Asainst Them.-Get
 Advice and Small Fine

An automobile comedy that rival led Harry fate's famous Motoring" was staged in the local police court Thursday morning when David Cote and Eugene Bellerose, both of Put nam, were brought up on five eharg- es-improper registration of a motor car, driving with an improperly sign ed license, theft of number plates, lack of tires and in the case of Belle rose, not having a proper driving license. After being thoroughly broiled by the court the two young men were fined five dollars and costs of Sll.44.
 One Tire After Another
 The hearing revealed tale of motor trial and tribulation. Early on Wednesday in an old and decrepit 1914 model car owned by Cote. thu pair started for Willimantie. But trouble kept pace with them every mile and tire troubles of every known variety. After changing tires and making repeated repairs, Bellerose and Cote finally reached Windham where their tenth tire job made them determined to give up the struggle and come home.
 They turned Putnamward only to encounter more tire trouble and in s final frenzy of desperation they took the tires off the two rear wheels and started along the road pounding away on the rims.
 Meanwhile the antics of the two men and a car had attracted a good deal of attention and someone tele- phoned to Willimantie and two oiii- cers started in hot pursuit. But the old tireless buzz-wagon bounding and changing over the highway kept up such a pace that the men were well into the city of Putnam and had Anderson's corner before they were overtaken.
 Five Counts Against Them
 There they were promptly arrested and taken to police headquarters with the five counts stated above. The charge that the car was a stolen one was not brought, as Cote was able to prove his doubtfully proud ownership. However, the only driv- ing license in the party was found not to be properly signed. the car was not the number plates were stolen, the ear was being operated without tires. which is legal offense, and finally, one of the men known to have driven the car in it's perilous pas- sage had no license at all.
 Judge Geissler gave the two men some excellent advice regarding mo- toring. motor etiquette. and the motor law, and then released them with a small fine.

Oakland's Wins
Cause Big Stir
Among Autoists

The recent victory Of the Oak
land in the San Diego to Ell Cen
tro and return economy run has
caused Il lot of talk among those
interested in the economical Oper-
alton of a motor car and more
securely establishes the Oakland as
the rightful wearer of the economy
championship belt.
"The Oakland is the only car
to ever chalk up two sweepstakes
victories in succession i'll the annual
Yosemite economy run and it has
already followed this precedent by
winning the first two San Diego
to Ell Centre economy runs, says
Charles ID. Merralls, Ell Centre Oak
land dealer.
"The outstanding feature of
these remarkable victories of the
Oakland is that each one has been
won by a different Oakland six.
1t is not case where one super
car out of many thousands has been
entered in these economy events
with the best of other ears entered
and romped away with the glory.
Four different Oaklands have won
the last four big economy trials of
Southern California and won them
SO decisively that there has been
no "ifs' Or "ands' about it af-
ter the officials made their scores
publics.'

Newburgh, N. Y, May 16.-Repeal
iof state prohibition, enforcement
statutes would be likely to result In
more or less conflict between state
and federal authorities" in the opin
ion of President Harding. The views
of the president were expressed in q
letter to Wesley Wait Of this city
made public today. A bill passed by
the legislature repeating the act Is
awaiting action by Governor Smith
Mr.. Wait wrote to the president
urging that if Governor Smith should
sign the bill, congress be convened
and that the governor and the mem
bers OF the legislature who voted for
the bill be suspended. Every state
official who voted for this bill is
subject to the law of treason, hav-
ing taken the oath to sustain the
constitution of the United States,
Mr.. Waits letter said.
The Presidents Reply. ..
In reply President Harding wrote
Pending the approval Of the Guy
illier bill by Governor Smith this
matter is hardly to be regarded as
having reached the stage where any
federal authority is called upon for
a determination of national policies
With much of what you say / am
fully in accord. .

1.-THE nation has deliberately, after
ed the present policy which is writ
ten into the eighteenth amendment
1t is law of the land. So long as II
remains the national policy there
can be only one course for the ma
tional government to pursue. This is
to use every means to make effec-
tive the law passed In compliance
with this constitutional mandate. To
do this will be the unquestioning
policy of the present administration
and I may add that / am firmly con
WINGED that it must be the policy of
other administrations that shall
come hereafter.
1.-THE executive of the nation and
equally the executives of the states
are sworn to enforce the constitu-
ton. 1t does not seem fitting, how
ever, to enter upon a discussion of a
situation which has not vet arisen"
