(Falladlugs Special) ' New York, Aug. 17. The

of tho new -inferior courts act" by the itU legislature of New York was a great triumph for the automobile owning class. It was a master stroke which freea them from the petty annoyance of being arrested and hauled to prison when they are caught In the act of violating the speed ordinances. The average automoblllst does not care a rap for riding in an auto unless ho can go at top speed and as the police authorities under constant pressure b the common herd not owning autos, persisted in arresting speeders whenever they could, automoblllng had almost ceased to be a pleasure. But, under the new law they will get relief and In the future speed flends can give themselves up to their favorite amusement without fear of landing In some JaiL All they have to do Is to obtain one of those Identity cards which the new law provides for. If they have one of these cards In their pocket they cannot be arrested for violating the speed or any other ordinance. The officer who should stop them may only eiamlne the card, take the number and hand the violator a summons to appear In court. The autoist may continue his mad race and need not even appear In court, but send his lawyer Instead. Under the law these cards are to issued only to persons of "good character, but of course. ,the ownership of an auto Is considered prima facto evidence of "good character." Every applicant for a card must be vouched for by three cltisens and It Is characteristic of the source of the law that It expressly provides that no keeper of a liquor saloon shall be accepted as a voucher for any applicant Btrange to say. this provision does not prevent saloon keepers from obtaining ' Identification cards. This seems rather anomalous, as these cards are only Issued to persons of "good character" and there seems to be no logical reason In excluding persons of good character from vouching for another person of good character. There is a gang of burglars operating at present In the Bronx and In Westchester, remarkable for the boldness and cleverness of Its members end for their mania for writing notes to their victims. In one of the houses which the burglars ransacked the other night, they left two notes, numbered respectively No. 1 and No: t. The f rst note reads: "If It had not been for the cop on the beat we would have taken more. You have good stuff, but he might see us carrying It. Much obliged for what we have got. Will come back." The second note left In the parlor, showed considerable cynical humor. It read: "Profit by this lesson. Do unto others as we have done unto you." In another house the burglars found $30 which the owners' wife had hidden lu a sugar bowl. This sum the burglars took, leaving a note with the following Inscription! "Wo give

you credit for being clever. Sorry, but wo were hard up. Will come back for more." V

It must have struck the burglars

that It might e'mbaraas the housewife

to And herself entirely without funds in the morning. So they left the fol-!

lowing note, with a $1 bill pinned to

it, on the kitchen table: "Dear Madam

We leave you this, for the babies

may be hungry In the morning."

The burglars also entered a house

Inhabited by a poor street, rail way employe . who has a blind wife and

four little children. The. burglars did

not take anything, but left a note.

which said: "We pity you. You have

a large family to look out for. Everything is left as we found it" As nose of the notes bore the name and address of the writer, the police have no clue to the burglars.

It is somewhat out of the ordfnary for a married couple to take their full grown daughter along on their wedding trip. That was done the other day, however, by a married couple in New Providence, N. J., when they went on their somewhat belated honeymoon journey to 'Watkins Glen. When the two were married thirty years ago, circumstances did not permit them to make the proposed wedding Journey to Watkins Glen. They postponed the trip and thirty years elapsed before they were able to carry, out their program. One of the readers, dissatisfied with the editorial policy of the Jewish Dally Neews published in this city.

stormed Into the editorial room of that paper the other day and after he had told the editor in language more forcible than elegant, what his private opinion of the Jewish Dally News was, he threatened to kill the editor and to set fire to the plant. After his visitor had left, the editor lost no time In hunting up a police magistrate to whom he told his story snd from whom he obtained a warrant Armed with the paper the editor started to search for the disgruntled reader and after he had located him he caused his arrest Magistrate Kernochan, before whom the prisoner was brought severely lectured the man, but Anally dismissed him with the warning to keep away from the newspaper sanctum in the future. "There are many times," said the magistrate "when I am not pleased with things in the newspapers, but I don't run along Park Row and threaten to burn up every newspaper plant" In spite of the fact that scores of arrests for smuggling have been made at this port during the past few months, some travelers returning from Europe do not seem able to resist the temptation to make the attempt of cheating Uncle Sam out of his custom dues. The other day a young married couple, returning from the wedding trip was arrested for attempted smuggling and a collection of necklaces and other Jewelry which the bride had secreted on her person and, of course, not declared, was con

fiscated. Almost every liner coming from Europe brings one or more persons who try to ' smuggle dutiable goods Into the country, although they are fully able to pay the duty, which would save them from all risk of humiliation, arrest annoyance, loss of property and payment of fines. It seems that a great many persons, who had heard of others how easy it was to smuggle things Into the country years ago, have not yet .learned

that Collector Loeb has given the customs service at this port a thorough shaking up.

BY HERBERT TEMPLE. (Special Cable from the International .News Service.) London. Aug. J7. London Is In the midst of its long cataleptic summer slumber. American tourists and provincial " visitors are the rulers of the city, which never resembles itself at this time of the year. The King and Queen as well as the queen-mother are away; Buckingham Palace Is deserted, and the shutters are up all over Mayfair. Asquith. LJoyd. George and Balfour are at various health resorts; the democratic John Burns is cycling In France and no one enters the Rates of the House of Parliament - But while neither of the houses will meet until November 15th the members of the Veto-conference committee are soon to take np their debates to decide the fate of the antiquated House of Lords. ' Because of the scarcity of actual news, all kinds of rumors are afloat

One of them, and a very persistent

one, says that the conference will deal with far more Important subjects than the right of the peers to interfere with financial bills, that the conservative as well as the liberal members of the

conference are in favor of granting some sort of home rule to Ireland, Scotland and Wales, so that England in the future will . have four parliaments instead of one. While these rather fantastic rumors should not be too readily believed, it Is evident that there is something go

ing on beneath the surface of the apparently placid political waters. There is a strong desire in certain quarters to make King George emperor, not only of India, as he is now. but of Great Britain, but the English people are too conservative to take up any such suggestion with anything like enthusiasm. My own opinion Is that ,very f expositive results will come from the deliberations of the eight members of the conference and that the country vill be forced to go through the turmoil of a general election before the coronation, though none of the leaders want to.

money for a boy. Eventually some

friends sent me to an academy and an engagement by Mascagni to fill a tenor role at the Metropolitan open house put me on the road to fame." ' Signor Landino sings in four languages and his repertoire- embraces 200 songs and 17 operas. He recently learned the opera "Traviata" in four days. He has a photograph of Madame Nevada, of which he is very proud, for the renowned opera singer has written on it: "Aim for the highest Listen to your own conscience. Have faith in God and in your own beautiful voice and talent . Be severe for yourself and indulgent for others." Signor Landino studies six hours daily, and his favorite recreation while In London he says, is to "walk In the parks." He does not smoke nor touch any form of alcoholic drinks.

Musical London is looking forward with great expectations to hear the famous American born tenor, Signor Nevada Landino, whose life history has aroused their curiosity. I yesterday had quite a talk with the singer, who made no secret of his humble origin and said: "I can well remember my newsboy days. I used to earn about half a dollar a day then, which was more than was earned by most of my pals, because I would wander into the saloons and sing to the people. I often sang in the streets while carrying my papers under my arm. Sometimes I would go down to my Old Courthouse at Cleveland and sing to the judges and attorneys. I used to have a shoe-blacking box and a street stand, and between the intervals of polishing boots I would sit up against a wall at the end of the pavement and sing my songs. In, that way I earned very good

The death of King Edward and the desire of his loyal subjects here to commemorate his reign may result in the city of London getting an open square that will compare favorably with those of other European capitals. The Ixrd Mayor is said to be in favor of a plan that Trafalgar Square should be rebuilt nnd re-named after King Edward; the present fountains, that are mere squirts, being replaced

by others of more striking design the

square improved by the placing of imposing sculptural groups and enlarged

by tearing down the ugly houses on Its

eastern side.

the part of individuals is rigorously suppressed.It is clear, therefore, that the opposition of the Japanese government to socialism is. cot to be referred to an economic basis, but to its anti-dynastic trend in other words, to its con

stant association with republicanism. Nevertheless; the principles of democracy and socialism are on the increase within the Japanese empire. The masses are fast reaching a point where they are no longer content to be dictated to by their superiorsThere is growing dissatisfaction with

the restriction of the franchise to so small a fraction of the population, and with the increasing arrogancy of the rich in restricting the liberties and ,

rights of their employes.

VETERANS' DAY AT THE CHAUTAUQUA OBSERVED TODAY (Continued From Page One.)

The Japanese government ' is rather

alarmed by the rapid spreading of socialism In the empire, and asserts that Japanese subjects who have been in

California and Hawaii come back im

bued with, socialistic ideas. J How far this is true is not easy to determine, but it is a fact that among the socialists recently arrested in Tokio for complicity in an anti-dynastic conspiracy the great majority were

men who had been stopping in the

United States for some time. - It is rather curious to note that although the Japanese government Is strongly opposed to socialism among individuals it shows a constant drift towards socialistic practices ou the part of the government. The Japanese government now controls most of the railways of the Empire, as well as several factories and other undertakings generally left to private enterprise. The government's paternal attitude towards industry and private business generally can be regarded in no other light than that of a kind of socialism. The government has a monopoly of salt, tobacco, and camphor and is looking toward the silkworm industry. In addition to registering the inspecting, as well as controlling, many private enterprises, the government registers lawyers, physicians, patent agents, brokers, editors, corporations, societies, associations, including churches, hotels, theaters in fact, all that cater to. public demand. At the same time, any suggestion of a belief in socialism on

sions, particularly by war veterans whom he lauded. In his introduction he paid tribute to the Chautauqua assemblies declaring that they had now become a national institution, educational in its purpose. Transkory Evolution. The transitory evolution of government from barbarism to the present day republic and also reference to the

needs of the future were treated by the speaker in his address. He pointed out how each step made wasa an advance. According to the belief of the former governor the people who were destined to discover and first inhabit North America were providently prepared for the mighty jovernment which they were to form. The issue of the twentieth century is the immortality of the republic. He does not think that the evolution of patriotism has yet reached its highest plane. Social conditions, such 8 desire to attain aristocracy, are yet preventative. He referred to the English and to Theodore Roosevelt's

recent criticism of them. He declared that the reason for the universal love felt toward Roosevelt was due to an early utterance in which he said "Be very sure that you do no harm to others, and then be sure that others do no harm to you." He declared the reason why the people of the United States enjoy their present privileges is due to the wars waged and its great men, mentioning George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Perhaps the biggest benefit accruing from the Spanish American war was that it made the nation united, he said. The nation told the world that the United States would never stand for oppression which was the underlying cause of the war. Diplomacy of the United States. The diplomacy of the patriotism of the United States was shown in its conduct toward China and the European powers at the time of the Boxer

uprising. - The United States prevented the division of China and refused. $20,000,000 indemnity tendered by 'China, thus strengthening the bonds of friendship between China and this country. Such diplomatic patriotism will not need the support of an army and navy, he believe. - The patriotism of the future depends largely on . several matters. Mainly, however, on the labor of Ufa. science and religion. In regard to science he made education a subject of discourse, declaring that only in this way could the younger generation be given character and the desire for something other than to lay up riches

for their grandchildren to enjoy. Work : is the only means of success. The necessity of religion was demonstrated over the uproar arising from the , elimination from the dollar "In God We Trust." It was replaced and will so remain, he announced. Brigham's Lecture. In the evening Nat Brigham gavo an entertaining lecture. The present development of the -arid parts of the United States, chiefly in New Mexico and Arizona, was shown in contract with what they were before the United. 8tates instituted irrigation and reclamation. He pities the American Indian thinking that they have less degree of freedom and happiness now than dur '

ing their earlier history.
