Marchioness, Will Cation smiles
happily as he nears the stables.
A days work well done.
s Yet, breaking records is moth

and prizes totaled more than
three million dollars
At one time, he held every Rus
sian record at all distances. That
was before the revolution.

RULING ON AUTO
.. PERMIT ASKED

Officials of the corporation
counseps office today were called
upon to make a study and report
upon the argument of Fred A.
Maltby, attorney, who holds that
the "so-called office of assistant
director Of traffic" is non-eXiStent
and that M. o. Eldridge, holder
of the office, has no power to
revoke operators permits.
Attorney Maltby expressed his
views in a petition filed with the
District Commissioners asking
that the action of Mr.. Eldridge
in revoking the permit of Daniel
Robert Boyer, in November, 1880,
be reviewed. The permit was re-
voked on the third offense for
speeding.
The full responsibility for the
traffic bureau falls upon William
H .Harland, director of traffic,
Attorney Maltby holds, as no pro-
vision has ever been made by
Congress for an assistant director
of traffic and all orders issued by
Mr.. Eldridge are void.
