the rich oil State of Zulia in Ven

who was forced to resign after
Gen. Juan Vicente Gomez's death,
has been appointed governor of
the State of Lara, according to
information received here.
The unpopularity of General
Perez Soto among the people of
Zulia undoubtedly forced his re-
moval as governor of that state
by the new government, but the
fact that he has received the Lara

PLAIN CLOTHES

0.K'D IN POLL

With ballots pouring in daily
from Washingtonians interested
in curtailing the number of auto
mobile fatalities, the vote today
stood at 3 to / in favor Of the
plan for plain clothes traffic Off
GERS.
Virtually all of the voters
charged Washington motorists
with being reckless. declaring the
Traffic Department should take
drastic steps to reduce the num-
Der of accidents in the city.
A plan advanced by Lawrence
C. Crawford, who has long inter
ested himself in traffic conditions
here, would establish a corps Of
plain clothes traffic policemen
who would patrol the city in un-
marked cars.
Milwaukee Does 1t
One person pointed out that
one-half of the traffic department
of Milwaukee is plain clothes
corps. The traffic death rate is
low there, he added.
Another voter wrote:
81 believe that the number Of
traffic deaths will be greatly re-
duced IL this plan is adopted.
There will the usual amount Of
yapping about police traps ant
infringement of personal liberty,
ETC., but it is my opinion that
the majority of citizens will ap-
prove the PLAN"
A woman voter. complaining OF
the reckleSSneSS of motorists
hurrying to work, favored the
plain-clotheS police idea. suggest
ing the inclusion of women on the
plain-clothes crops. She stated:
81 might suggest putting in a
few women as plain-clOtheS
police, and I am sure you would
get results"
Writing in opposition to the pro
poSal, one voter declared:
at would tend to increase
crime. hOldupS in particular, as
a citizen would be afraid to de-
fend himself or run until sure
whether or not he was being
stopped by police or rObber, and
then it would be too late.
washington police are all
right and 1 believe could handle
things if it were not for political
interference. But why pick on
the motorists when you know
most accidents are caused by
chick Drained pedeStrianS?"
Another Opposed
Opposing the plan, a retired
Army major wrote:
"a system Of this character
would not only prove a little
bentfit in the diminution of
traffic accidents, but would
smack of dictatOrial espionage
methods similar to the Rus
sian Ogpu and similar organ
izatiOnS of Russia and Europe.
"Our democracy has been
thwarted enough during the last
three years without endanger-
ing it further"
Further opposition to the plar
was entered by a writer who de
clared it is far more important
to prevent violation of traffic
laws or any other kind of laws
than it is to catch the offender
after the law has been broken
or the crime committed"

tai, Levi P. Morton, American
ambassador to France, drove the
first rivet in it.
Late in 1888 the work in France
was practically completed but
the pedestal on Bedloe's island
was only partly finished. So the
figure was placed on exhibition
In Paris where it lowered over
the housetops for months.
On June IL, 1884, Ambassador
Morton gave a great dinner to
the committee of the French
American Union, under whose
direction the work had been done,
and suggested that formal pres
entation be made on July 4. This
was done and the presentation
took place in Paris, with Am
bassador Morton representing
the United States, and Ferdinand
de Lesseps, builder of the Suez
Canal, the French.
A month later the corner stone
of the pedestal was laid on Bed
loe's Island and in June of the
next year it was completed. The

Roosevelt and the ambassador
from France, NJ. Andre de

It is an interesting coincidence
that the dedication address was
made by a New York governor
who had become President and
that the re-dedication address
will be made by another New
York governor who now Oc-
cupies the White House. Equal
" significant is the fact that
Edouard de Laboulaye, grand
father of the present French
ambassador, made the original
suggestion for the presentation
of such a statue to the Ameri-
can people by the people of
France.
The idea for the monument
was first preached at dinner

BarthoIdi, an Alsatian sculptor
of Italian descent who had fought
under Garibaldi in Italy and was
an ardent believer in human lib
critics in all countries. His i'm
agination was fired by NJ. de
Laboulaye's idea of a gift from
the people of one republic, who
had achieved their liberties by
fighting for them, to the people
of another republic who had done
the same.
Bartholdi's Inspiration.
But no further action was
taken on the plan until after the
Franco-Prussian war in which
Bartholdi served valiantly for
eight months. Then he decided
to visit the United States. As the
steamship Compagnie Transat-
lantique entered New York har-
Dor on June q, 1871, and his gaze,
sweeping the inspiring panorama
before him, alighted on Bedloe's
Island he at once visualized upon
it great statue of Liberty. He
