'Washington, Dec. 4. The increase
of the use of motor vehicles in inter
state travel has become so pronounced within the past two years that it has
attracted the attention of congress
The discovery that there is no law on
the Btatute books to regulate them re
sulted in the introduction of a bill dur
ing the extra session "providing for the regulation, identification, and registration of motor vehicles engaged in Interstate travel." Rep. Cocks of New York, is the author of a proposed law, which is said to have the endorsement of the' manufacturers of motor vehicles as well as the owners of machines who indulge in long distance tours. The bill, which provides for the creation of a bureau to be a part of the department of Commerce and. Labor, to be known as the Motor Vehicles bureau, has been carefully drawn so as not to conflict with any state law governing the use of motor vehicles within the state. ;." The head of the proposed bureau is to be a Commissioner, to be appointed by the President with the advice and
consent of the Senate, with an assistant and a clerical force. The commissioner is charged with formulating rules and regulations for the enforcement of the act. - - " - ' Must Be Registered. iThe act provides for registration of all motor vehicles with" the Commissioner, together with a complete .de
scription of the machine, Including the name of the manufacturer, the manufacturer's number, the motor power and the amount of such power stated In figures of horse-power. In addition to this, in order to obtain a certificate of registration, for which $5.00 is to be charged, the name .of the owner and the state in which he resides, together
witn a scat- mem mat ne nas .compiled with the law of his state regulating the operation of motor vehicles within the state, and the number assigned his machine must be filed with the Commissioner. , If the application' for registration is approved, the Commissioner will issue a distinctive number to be displayed on the, front and rear of the machine, as an Identification mark in accordance with the provision of the laws of the state under which
the motor Vehicle shall have been pre
viously registered
All motor vehicles registered by the Commissioner are to be exempt from
registration laws of states except the efotA In wh(rfh tha Awn or 1 f VDQ .- A
manufacturer or a dealer In motor vehicles is to pay a fee of ten dollars. The owner of a registered machine,
who sells, or lets for hire, the machine for a period of over ten days, must notify the commissioner, and the registration will become null and void within five days after the time specified and the certificate must be returned for cancellation. The purchaser, or lessee, of the motor vehicles is then required to register the juachine and pay the fees. ' What Penalties Are. ' The act specifies that any violation of its provisions forfeits registration fees and all rights and privileges, and
no owner tnus violating tne regulations may register any motor vehicle for a new certificate until he has paid a penalty of twenty-five dollars in addition to the registration fees. -
The advocates of this legislation ' say it will greatly stimulate the motor
vehicle industry, and will unquestion
ably increase interstate travel by
such machines. The creation of the
bureau will provide means for keep
ing a complete record of all motor-ve
hicles used, which will no doubt have a tendency to check wild "joy riding"
in interstate travel, as the identiflca
tion marks are of such a character that the driver of a motor vehicle
would be unable to escape punishment
in case of accident
The revenue derived from the pro
posed law is to be used for the pay
ment of expenses of the bureau, any surplus that may accrue is to be paid
into the treasury. The expenses of the bureau will consist of the salaries of
the commissioner, which is placed at
$5,000 a year, a secretary at $2,000 and
whatever clerical force is necessary to carry on the work. No clerk is to receive a salary exceeding $1,200 a
year.
"The 8oul Kiss" t Much Interest is bound to be centered In the announcement that "The Soul Kiss," the delightful musical comedy by Harry B. Smith and Maurice
Levi, which has to its credit a run of three hundred consecutive performances in New York, has been booked for an engagement at the Gennett, and will be seen there on Wednesday, Dec. 15. The piece is a very high class musical entertainment and local theatre goers are bound to show their pleasure in the work by crowding the Gennett. Harry B. Smith has provided a witty book and the story is well told, while Maurice Levi's music Is of the typical tuneful Levi variety. There are several songs that are in their way little gems of harmony, melody and humor. A' number in the "Bal Taba-
rin" scene in the first act, entitled "At the Masauerade" is full of life and
spirit. The orchestrations oi the finales are thoroughly descriptive and are ' written in composer Levi's best vein.' There are many other catchy numbers throughout the piece, such as "When the Swallows Return in the Spring," "That Wasn't All," "Affinity,"
"The Human Night-Keys," "Let's Pretend," VMy Diabolo Beau," "Very Well Then," and "Any old Place in the World with You." A cast of seventy well known fun-makers will be found In "The Soul Kiss." Julian Mitchell has staged the production, which, owing to the nature of the story, offers exceptional opporutnities for lavish stage effects.

Nancy Boyer Company. In presenting the Nancy Boyer com pany the combined effort of the man
agement has been centered upon creating a hew standard in moderate priced American play production. ' The universal appeal for good, clean, wholesome amusement within the reach of all, and the willingness of all to patronize such amusement has
made possible the existence or sucn a
theatrical company as the Nancy Boyer. Equipped with a lavish "display o? especially designed scenery and paraphernalia, representing the most recent Ideas In American stagecraft, each play Is produced amid realistic settings, wjth all the careful attention to detail that marked its original New York production. The personnel of the Nancy Boyer company has been selected with utmost care, with the result of bringing together a company of players who have, collectively and individually,
"The Prince of Tonight."
"The importance of any city as a producing center may be measured by the number of its 'dog towns,' said Mort H. Singer, manager of the Princess theater the other night, discussing the new Chicago production, "The Prince of Tonight," which had its first "try-out" in Milwaukee, and which comes to the Gennett on Tuesday, De
cember 14.
In theatrical parlance a "dog town" is any place where a metropolitan show is first shown to public gaze before it is displayed for the critical judgment of the city where it is expected to make
a long run. Time was when Chicago
was looked upon as the chief "doa;
town" of New York, but that day is
passed, and now several cities in In
diana, Illinois and Wisconsin are riv
als for the honors within the gift of
Chicago managers who submit thei
productions to the judgment of other
out of town audiences before their first nights here. Whenever Hough, Adams and Howard write a piece for Chicago production, they insist on having it tried out in Milwaukee. They have been told that if they ever desert Milwaukee for these tryouts, a hoodoo will settle over
At the Murray. In an effort to make the entertainment at his. new play house still more popular, the management of the Murray has procured for this week two headliners instead of one as most bills have. The large crowds that have been thronging this theater for the last
month proves beyond a doubt that the people of this city are awake to the
fact that they have access to a real up-
to-date vaudeville theater. This en
courages the management consequent
ly, and he prepares an unusually good
bill for this week.
The Heidelburg . Four, vaudeville's
greatest singers are one of the headlin
ers. Their act is strictly "tony" and is
purely a high class musical production
Their selections are all of the very best and rendered with perfect harmony.
The bass solo that is sung in this act
is a treat for every one.
Carnellas Family, catapult acrobats, are the other headliners. Their work
while very difficult, is performed with apparent ease. The double somersault feat that is performed by the youngest girl of the troupe, is one of
the most hazardous now on the stage. This act from beginning to end, is very thrilling and exciting. Barnes-Reming company present a little comedy entitled "Mrs. Fotter's First," which should prove a great tonic to those in need of a little cheer in the laugh line. It Is an uproarious farce comedy of a most wholesome na-
suc-Jture and simply teems with fun. Mil l Marie McNeill, Americas popular (cornet soloist, renders several, cornet
solos in a highly artistic manner. She
always wins the heart of the audience at once and is obliged to give several encores. She Is sure to get a hearty
welcome.

Chicago, Dec. 4. The Anti-Saloon
League national convention listened to
a stirring address today by the Hon.
Seaborn Wright, of Georgia, who summed up the political and moral sit
uation in the south regarding the li
quor traffic. Mr. Wright stated that
a partnership, an unholy alliance, ex
ists between our federal government
and the liquor interests, and the gov
ernment gets per cent of the net profits of the liquor trade. "We are not fighting the man who drinks." said Mr. Wright. "That H none of our business, but it is our bus
iness when it comes to the system
that has been evolved through the sale
of the liquor which he drinks.
To Continue Fight. 'The system whereby a municipality
or a country or a state, or a national
government can be' owned and oper
ated by liquor interests must necessarily be a corrupt one and we are fighting and shall continue to fight it
until we drive it out of existence.
"If saloons ever get back Into the
south," continued Mr. Wright, "It will
be the fault of the federal government
which has handicapped us much by the
nullifcation of our laws. The return
of the saloon would mean the exter
mination of the negro race and if the government ever puts it up to us we
will be responsible for the result. Caused Atlanta Riots.
"Believe me, it was this that caused the Atlanta riots and that was the
match which touched oft the prohibl
tion fire which has swept the entire
south. Oh, I tell you. and Mr.
Wright's voice took on a triumphant
ring, "I tell you that the race prob
lem is fast transferring itself from the south into the southern part of the
border states of the north. The bad
element of the colored race is fast moving to the nearest wet territory
and unless that section realizes its

USED TO THEM. Georee F. Martin, the tobacco
pert of New York, said of Thanksgiving, as he lit a Havana cigar: "We Americans should be thankful for our tobacco. It is the best and the cheapest in the world. I have just returned from London, and there I found that a shilling cigar scarcely
equaled our American nickel one.
"The . Londoners are indifferent
about their tobacco indifferent and
blase, like an . omnibus conductor I
saw in oxiord street.
"You know the London omnibus? It
is a double-decker. If you sit on top.
you must go up and down by a very
steep stair.
"Well, this blase conductor pulled
up his 'bus at Regent Circus, and the ladies bound for Peter Robinson's eag
erly got out. But one fat lady, who
had been sitting on top, came down
the steep and winding stair very slow
ly. Her skirt flapped round her ank
les, and at every step she stopped
and thrust it carefully down. The
conductor waited with a bored expres
sion, his hand on the bell-rope; but
he lost patience when the fat lady stopped for. the fifth or sixth time to
thrust down her billowing skirt, and
he burst out angrily:
" 'Now. then. lady, 'urry up, cahn't
yer? Legs lin"-do treat to me!' "
tried to sell an 'awful tragedy' story in 1,500 words to the Perth papers.
But his enterprise missed cash; the papers feared a fake and wouldn't
deal.

such a boy wasted on a community of sand-gropers. What a loss to Park
Row!'"
with balls of chopped liver and powdered glass, with cutlets of mutton dip
ped in prussic acid, and with cakes powdered with arsenic or Paris green. These titbits are fed to the valuable dogs of the rich. Then, on towards Christmas, by means of circulars and so forth, the bereaved owners of the nurdered animals are led Insensibly to the shops of the murderers. It is a mean and petty custom, but it does indubitable build up trade."
WOMEN AND MEN. The prevalent hoarseness is probab
ly due to colts in the throat.
The new Cook book, a work dealing
with ices, will be, in many quarters, roasted.
Some of the Suffragettes never stop
to think in their harangues; others,
again, never think to stop.
Opportunity knocks at every man's
door, but the poor fellow who needs her most is often doorless.
Many a woman's voice is liquid in that it never dries up. There's no use bluffing unless you
have something to bluff with and
then there's no use bluffing anyway. The average woman of thirty looks as old as the average man of forty; but, then, the average woman of thirtyis, usually, forty or so. The earth goes round, but it wouldn't if we all wanted as much of it as the Rockefellers, Morgans and Carnegies do.
NOT FIT TO JUDGE. Andrew Carnegie, in the smokeroom of the Baltic, talked about Scotch whiskey. "It is a pure but a powerful spirit," he said, smiling. "In Peebles the other day they told me a good story about
it.
"It seems that a Peebles lawyer and
his clerk had been to a wedding of the
real, old-fashioned sort. On the way
home the lawyer said, as they were crossing the famous Peebles iron
bridge:
"'Noo, Saunders, mon, I'll juist
gang on ahead a meenit, an yell tell
me if I'm walkin' straucht.'
"So the lawyer walked ahead, and
then called back:
"'Straucht, Saunders?' " 'Straucht's a die, Saunders answered; 'but hie wha's that wi ye?'
AN ANCEDOTE OF SUCCESS. Of Melville E. Stone, whose contri
bution to the Cook-Peary quarrel the
affidavit of the guide Barrllle is perhaps the most brilliant journalistic feat of the twentieth century, a Chicago editor said the other day: "Stone, like all successful journalists, loves his work. He would sacrifice anything to it. Talking about love, of work in the Associated Press office in New York, he said, with a smile, that he could almost sympathize with the notorious Australian boy. "This boy, a resident of Perth, saw his father kill his mother and then commit suicide. The boy suppressed the news for several hours while he

Senator .Tillman,, was. talking about
Thanksgiving dinners.
"At a dinner in the country," he
said, "the turkey wasyery large large enough", in fact, to feed easily a
party of thirty persons seated around the table. "As the farmer host carved the huge bird, sixty eyes watched him hungrily.

TOOK THE OLD FELLOW ABACK. There is a story about Henry E. Dixey, the comedian, that his friends at the Lambs' never tire of telling.
Mr. Dixey, while visiting Philadel
phia one autumn, attended a very
aristocratic Thanksgiving ball in Rittenhouse Square. While supper was being served, Mr,
Dixey ranged himself behind the supper table with the twelve or fifteen
waiters busy there. Soon a mild-mannered old gentleman with white hair
approached the actor, glass in hand.
"Would you mind filling my glass
with champagne, please?" he said.
Mr. Dixey started, drew himself up,
and. with a look of horror, said:
- "Certainly not, sir; certainly not. You have already had more than is
good for you."
