AUTO OWNERS TO DRAFT LAW on ERS" Mass Meeting Believes "Safety of Public" Demands Sufficient Light to Guard Against Accidents.

COMMITTEE IS NAMED

W. Bockhoff Suggests That Horse Drawn Vehicles Provide Tail Lamps as Protection From Automobiles. Although unanimous in their belief that a proper "dimmer'' ordinance should be enforced, fifty automobile owners, assembled m the council chamber at the city building last evening, decided that the present ordinance is so indefinite that it can l not be legally enforced. A j committee was appointed consisting of Perry Freeman, chairman, A. C. Lindemuth, W. K. Bradbury and Omar Murray, to draft a suitable ordinance, embodying the suggestions made last evening, and sent to the city council for passage. -v An ordinance requiring every vehicle on the streets at night to carry a "tall" light, will also be drafted by the committee as an expression of the meeting last night. An ordinance of this kind would not only be a protection to the auto driver, but also to persons in carriages or wagons. Practically every person who was arrested last week as the result of a campaign on the part of the police department to enforce the "dimmer" ordinance that has been on the statute books for weeks, was present last evening. Every one was in favor of a "dimmer" ordinance, but it seemed to be the concensus of opinion that automobiles should not be required to use dim lights on the side streets. Several men, however, believed that some kind of a dimmer should be used all the time. "Nobody is opposed to a reasonable ordinance," said Perry Freeman, chairman of the meeting. "It is only necessary to have a "dimmer" that does not focus the light in a person's eyes as he crosses the streets. It does not make any difference how bright the light is. Just so it does not do this." Dr. W. W. Zimmerman said he was in favor of having "dimmers" only on Main street. He said that on the side streets there is much more danger in not having lights enough than In having too much. There should at least be a bright enough light for another car driver to see when a car is coming around the corner before the cars get opposite each other, said the ex-mayor. He then made the motion that Perry Freeman act as chairman of a committee to draft an ordinance to be presented to council to take the place of the present one. Others Need Lights. "There seems to be a wave of opposition against auto owners," said W. F. Bockhoff, president of the National Automatic Tool works. "Some people think they are all lawbreakers. I believe the auto owner needs some protection from horse drawn vehicles. If an auto has dimmed lights, it is often Impossible to see wagons until you get right on them. I am in favor of an ordinance requiring every vehicle to have a rear light at night. This is done in Indianapolis and other cities." Others agreed with him, and a motion was passed asking the committee to consider this in drafting the ordinance. Dr. Zimmerman told of three accidents that happened on the corner of Seventh and North A streets last Saturday night as the result of not sufficient light on automobiles. He said that automobiles should carry bright lights, though not the extremely glaring kind, on side streets, for the "safety of the public." There were two main propositions offered to the committee to be decided before the meeting of council next Monday. One was whether to have "dimmers" any place except on Main street, and the other was to specify a certain kind of dimmer for all lights. Ordinances of other cities were quoted by the auto owners, and it was the general opinion that if "dimmers" were to be placed on light at all they should be along the following lines: For electric lights, a blind should be placed covering the bottom half of the light: In the case of prest-o-light and other gas lights, the blind should extend over the upper half. The reflectors of the two kinds of light are made differently so that if the "dimmers" were put on in this manner the light would be focused to the ground, and at the same time not affecting the brilliancy of the light. It is probable that an ordinance embodying this principle will be drawn by the committee.

A Man and His Wife

Isabel Refuses Point Blank to BY VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER. Any pangs of remorse 'that Isabel Hamilton may have felt after her conversation with John on the night on which she announced her decision to go away for a visit had been banished when she took her place, at the breakfast table the following morning. She had had time "to review once more her many grievances and to resent them. Yet John,' himself, seemed to be in conciliatory mood. "Your new evening - dress is very pretty, my dear," he remarked as -he sipped his coffee. "I noticed It last night." "Thank you," Isabel replied. "I am glad you like it. By the way, John, I want you to know that I kept within the price -named by you. The dress would have been much more if I had not made the necessary alterations myself." "That was very considerate of you, dear," he said. His voice was unusually gentle almost wistful this morning. Isabel reflected bitterly that, she had often heard that blessings brighten as they take their flight.' Now that John knew that she was going away for six weeks, and that he could do as he pleased all that time; he could afford to be polite and pleasant to her for the little while before her departure. "I suppose you will wear your pretty new gown tonight," he. remarked. "And what time shall we start?". "Tonight?" she repeated. "Why, yes." awkwardly, "tonight Adelaide's affair, you know. She charg ed me to be sure to bring you by halfpast eight for it seems she has some strange surprise. for the company. She has had her rooms all trimmed uppotted plants and streamers , and . all that kind of thing, you know. Dennis and I fixed them under her directions. I told her one would think she was preparing for a girl's coming-out party. We teased her quite a bit about it." .- - - "Perhaps," Isabel rejoined, stiffly, "she may be preparing to celebrate the fact that she has secured her divorce. I believe that is now an accomplished fact isn't it?" " "She secured it a month ago," John said. "She did not want the fact known by.; anyone for a while until she had completed all . the arrangements she wished to make with regard to money, real -estate, etc.' That is one reason she has sent for me on business several-times lately." There were some matters connected with her alimony .that" she wanted my advice about, and ' .'as I . am . an old friend" : "I see!"" Isabel spoke so . sharply that her - husband- started- and stared at her in surprise. "Don't bother-to explain to . me, please, - John!" .-. she went on. "All . that is your affair and hers not mine. Since no explanations have been given me heretofore, I prefer to receive none now." A dark flush crept over the man's forehead. "I've tried to. tell, you -some things, Isabel, but you never believed me, and" - "Because what you told me was not true," she said. . "You made me afraid to tell you the truth," he began again, but once more she checked him. ' "If you please, John!" she exclaimed, "don't r let' us discuss this matter any more! It can only cause misery. We will not agree on the subject. It would be well for us to try to remember that an avoid unpleasant topics for the little while that we are - together before' I go away." "That must be as you. say," he replied coldly. "You give me no chance even to acknowledge that I may sometimes have been at fault." " ' She knew from the set. of his jaw that be was angry, but 'alienee reigned

for the next few minutes. When at last she spoke it was indiffirently. "We are having wonderful weather just now," she observed, glancing out of the , window. "Spring is advancing by leaps and bounds. I noticed in the park last week that the "leaves are coming out so fast one can almost see them grow." "Yes, the" park is lovely now," he acquiesced. ... "When had he been in the park?" she mused. Then she had a swift mental vision of him and ' Adelaide Simmons in the taxicab, so absorbed in each other that neither of them saw her. and Duval as they stood at the side of the road waiting for the vehicles to pass. And he had just said that sometimes he may have been at fault! Sometimes! .' . "What time tonight would you like to start, Isabel? As you are going to wear a white gown, you will want a taxicab of course?" "Yes," she said, politely and blandly. "I would want a taxicab if I were going, John. But . I will aBk you to be the bearer, of my excuses to Mrs. Simmons. I am not going to her party this evening." "Not going!" the exclamation escaped him as if against his will. "But you accepted." "You are mistaken," she corrected. "I accepted on condition that you could attend Ida Ferris's musicale last night. But since we were not there together, it will : be quite all right for you to go without me tonight.". "But you excused me .from coming for. you last night," he reminded her. "And Mrs. Simmons will excuse me from going -with you tonight," the wife said. "But.' I' won't, excuse you!", he exclaimed indignantly. "I don't often say that I insist upon your doing a thing Isabel. But I insist upon your going with me to this affair." ; "And I don't often refuse to do as you insist," she returned steadily, "but I positively decline to go to Mrs. Simmons's party. I understand that it is to be 'something especial,' and 'a surprise of some kind.' I do not feel quite equal to the kind of surprise that she might have in store for me. . So, John, I I must ask you to . be so" kind as to make your arrangements , for , this evening irrespective of me." To, Be .Continued.

ROCK ISLAND HEADS FACE INDICTMENTS IN FEDERAL COURTS

WASHINGTON, - Aug. 10. The department of justice has- instructed Charles F; Clyne, United States district attorney at Chicago, to request the federal grand Jury to indict directors and officers of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad company .responsible for throwing the road into a receivership last April, according to a statement made by a prominent official last night. : - The - statement followed an all-day conference between District "Attorney Clyne. and Assistant. Attorney General Underwood, who is in . charge of railroad affairs in the department of justice. Will Blame Directors. The prediction that the government intends to prosecute the persons responsible for the Rock Island receivership "was followed closely by intimations from- the interstate commerce commission that Ub report on the Rock Island probably would be made public this week. According to persons high in the confidence of the commission the Rock Island board of directors, which was under the domination of W. H. Moore and Daniel G. Reid, will be blamed for the financial plight of the road. It is predicted that Mr. Moore and Robert Walker, General counsel for the road, will be held responsible for the receivership, which was made effective on April 20 last by Judge Carpenter in the district court at Chicago. Mr. Reid had retired from the board in January, and was not officially connected witji the road when .the receivership proceedings were started. HARRIS IMPROVES EATON, O., Aug. -10.

Great Demand for New Constipation Remedy They ay that the advent of the "sentaael tablet1' as a vegetable substitute for calomel has resulted la an extraordinary demand for this remarkable product. It seems to nave made a hit particularly with those afflicted with chronic consti pation, who were quick to recognise its advantages over calomel and the usual laxatives. Sentanel tablet, aside' from their efll cacy, doubtless owe their success largely to a tendency to aid in bringing about natural functioning instead of encouraging the "cathartic habit.". Also, instead of injuring the membraneous lining of the organs Involved, they exert a healing Influence. Instead of weakening, they add tone to the intestinal wall. And they work so easily and gently, they are of course preferred on this account to the violently acting purgatives. Their Inezpenslveness is another reason for the popularity of sentanel tablets.
