AVx.tv . PA. Zi.— After a hearing this j
«.ft<=rnoon on th- automobile bills pending
a«f ■■<■ it, the Assembly Committee on In
ternal Affairs decided to amend the bill of j
Assemblyman Callan by putting into it the
r^Ft features cf tne Allds-Hamn bill of last
yen" and other provisions and make it tllf «
effinzntttoe-a MY.. The Caßaa bill was based j
on The Massachusetts law. and the funda- . j
mental parts of It are retained.
One of the principal amendments provides j
thnt »h«- Secretary of State ■ stead of Ibe :
Hisi.w.ny" «""ommi«sioii. shall collect the i

<~S!ies of the first and second elates are I
to lc allowed tn make their own speed j
regulation's, and villas? and cities ofj.thoV
third .-lass can raaUo their own regulations j
provided they do not ma a speed limit of j
less- tban ten miles an hour. These pro- i
\is.cnr. the committee thinks. wou!d make ,
th* Mil' conform to the views of the <!ov- ,
araor The a" te-Hamn bill removed the ,
aj • I limit altogether, while the Callan bill I
TDad" th*» limit twenty miles an hour. ,
Tlie. number plate ■:■= to be larger than [
-• : ■ provided for in the Callan bill and its
color 5s to b<? ehanjred every year, to pre- ;
vent aartaaasbl ■* c from tryir.s: to make one
registration fee <!o for more than one year. |
Tb* licenses arc made less than those pro
vide i:> th» Caßaa bill, but heavier penal- j
-••■= are exacted for running away after an I
accident.
In the amended bill registration and ex- j
• atioa of chauffeur? are provided for: j
and they are to be required to carry their I
photographs, signatures and general de- j
scr:pt:on. which will be provided by the I
Secretary of State when licensed, at all j
times when driving an automobile.
At the hearing John S. Coleman. of the .
National Highways Protective Association. !
asked for a postponement, saying that j
Governor Hughes had assured a committee j
from his association that he intended to j
call ■ conference of all those interested in I
automobile legislation next week, and that !
the Governor desired that some automobile j
bill be — I at this session. Chairman i
"Whitney paid thai the committee had not
been notified of such a conference, and
ine.refor«- he considered the hearing should
continue. X. B. Cuddy, representing flle
rhauffeurs of New York State, made a plea
that a thorough examination be required
at chauffeurs before licensing " them. The j
«-hau!Teurs favored the amendment in this j
respect made' to the Callan bill.
Charles Thaddeus Terry, representing the j
-.■an Automobile Association, spoke in
Bavsr of more uniform automobile legisla
tion and against speed traps, and said that j
Le believed that the speed should be deter- .
mined by reasonableness rather than "hat i
t-- ppeciflc limit should be set. ■
Oliver A Qiiajrlr. of Albany, chairman of :
tl " legislative committee of the New York j
State Automobile Association, presented i
-_- res, furnished by twenty-six police j
ohiefs of the state, showing that the mm- :
ber of persons killed by motor vehicles was j
3r« !han those killed by trolley cars and j
borec drawn vehicles.
Tho employment of chauffeur? under j
twenty-one ears of age is made a misde- :
jneanor in a bill introduced by Assembly- ■
tran Hei~ick. at New York. .

J i In the fastest and snappiest game of
I hockey seen fa, th 2 St. Nicholas Rink this
j year the Crescent Athletic Club players de
i ftated their oldtime rivals from the New
| York Athletic Club, champions of the
j Amateur Hockey League, by a score of 3
j jroals to - last night. As the sevens' lined
I up. the better team won. for it forced the
< pace from beginning '•-» end. and should*
; have come out of the snugs!' with a much
; larger score. The defeat cost the New York
I seven its dean state.
! • The attack ... the Crescents was superb,
j while the defence, [with Melntyre at point,
j showed great improvement. He took Ken-
I nedy's place, and the latter moved op to
] ,rover. where he played a sterling game.
i I-iffiton was more brilliant than he has
! been at any time this season, and his
j dazzling: run? demoralized his opponent*.
j while the wings played their positions
;. cleverly. McDonnell put up a wonderful
j game, and Brown's .shooting was. a feature.
I Jackson al^o was better than in his last
| game. Thomas, in goal, stopped many hard
j and difficult shots.
! In justice to the losers it must be men
tioned that they were not represented by
j their strongest seven. Mills. Broadfoot,
j Denesha and Shirreff being out of the game.
j Had they played they would have found a
j greatly improved and stronger Crescent
I team than faced them in their first game.
I which resulted in a New York victory.
; Clarke, White and Strange put up a stiff
: defence, hut the line was weak, even
• Castleman being blocked repeatedly by the
I speedy opposing forwards.
| From whistle to whistle the pace was
I lightning fast, and there was action every
j second, with not a lei up until the final
| whistle blew. Both lines fell back quickly
i to help out the defence players, and the
i checking was hard and effective. There
j was a great amount of slashing:, for which
j a number of men were penalized, but there
j was little "•dirty" work In evidence. It was
a hard game to handle, but the referees did
their work well.
There was a fairly good crowd on hand.
I but not as large as the game merited, prob
ably because it was generally conceded 'be
forehand that the New Yorkers would gal
lop away winners. It i= the first defeat !
the "Winged Foot men have suffered in
the amateur league in two years. Should
they lose either of their two remaining j
be the limit; in outlying sections, twenty
miles an hour; elsewhere in the open coun
try a speed greater than twenty-five miles
an hour shall be considered evidence of |
reckless driving. Motor cars must be j
under control and not move faster than
eight miles an hour around corners and j
curbs and when passing street cars. !
Motor cars sad motor cycles under 3fr- j
horsepower will require an annual registra- j
tion fee of $.". This fee is increased to $10 i
for cars ranging from 20 to 30 horsepower, I
and so on, cars of 50-horsepower or more i
requiring a fee of $23. Money derived from
the taxation of motor vehicles shall be used
for the upkeep of highways. In addition to ,
■the foregoing provisions, the amendment
lays down se\ ere penalties for operators
who drivp cars while under the influence of
intoxicating liquors and who run away
from an accident. For minor offences offi
cers ; shall issue summonses, instead of j
making arrests.
The proposed bill also provides that any ;
person who operates a car while he is in- :
toxicated shall be deemed guilty of a mis
demeanor, punishable by a fine of not ex
c*-*Klinc JoOO. or imprisonment for not more
thai one year, or both, for a first offence. !
A Be* nd or subsequent offence shall be ■
punish? by a fine of not less than $I(K>
nor more than f.jOO and imprisonment for •
not l"ss than six months nor more than i
one year.
The «am° penalties shall be inflicted in j
ca«=cs where an operator, know ing that in- !
■••■ has hfen caused to a person or prop
erty because of his own culpability or of \
accident, loi»v*« the scene without stop- i
ping and giving his name, residence and
license number to the injured person or to •
a patrolman. If no patrolman Is in the j
neighborhood the operator must report to :
the nearest police station or Judicial of
ficer. Failure to comply with these pro- I
visions shall be presumptive evidence of 1
knowledge of the happening of the acci- |
dent. :
On the subject of the examination; reg- i
istration and record of operators the bill ■
says that the Secretary of State shall ap
pojnt examiners who shall have had not j
less than three years" practical experience j
as operators of motor vehicles, and shall
be qualified to examine applicants for reg
istration. The application of the prospec
tive operator must b<* accompanied by the
registration fee of $5 and triplicate pho- i
tographs of the applicant. After he has [
passed the required tests the applicant :
Fhall receive a license without extra ,
chare. The certificate shall contain a

The Crescents started in with a rush as
soon as the puck was put in play and
save Strange some hard work to do, but
he was equal to the task. Peabody and
Castleman got in some good shots on
Thomas, and finally Peabody worked by
the defence, and. receiving thif puck from
■Reimund. tallied the first goal in eight
minutes. A few seconds later McDonnell
scored, but the whistle blew for a foul pU*>'
of Jackson's just as McDonnell shot, an.!
the goal was not allowed. Jackson was
ruled off for two minutes. McDonnell got
revenge two minutes later when he tallied
on a face-off . In front of the New York
nets. The pace grew faster all the lime,
and the puck was rushed up anil down the
rink in a dazzling manner, but neither
team was able to connect with the nets
again before the half ended. Reimund was
penalized for loafing before the call of time.
The Brooklynitea started in faster than
ever in the second period, and for three
minutes the play was entirely in New York
territory," a dozen shots being made on
Strange, but the strong 1 defence saved. Th€
play was becoming rougher and faster, and
the spectators were wild with excitement,
the cheering drowning the sound of the
whistle. Finally Castltman caught Jackson
coining down with the puck and " blocked
him. took the puck and slamnvd it by
Thomas before the latter knew what bad
happened.

to ■ Leon . and that General Chamorro and
General A urelio Estrada were but a few
hours apart and in constant communication
near Tipitupa. " . '
When the latest news was received the
bund Baraded the streets and serenaded
United States Consul Moffat in front of his
residence. The Sstrada men bugged one
another ami laughed hysterically. Tne
cooler heads, who bad often been misled.

officially reported here that Captain God
frey Fowler, formerly of the United States
army, who commanded General Chamorro'a
artillery in the engagement at Tlsma on
Tuesday, has died from his wounds.
A large number of wounded soldiers, of
both side.*, have been brought here, and
some of them confirm the reports of a
desperate attempt by the insurgent* to
force a passage at Tipltapa Bridge. Ac
cording- to these stories. General chamorro.
in civilian i lothes. succeeded in making his
nay across the liver into Chontalf-s. He
was accompanied by only a handful of
men. who had a hand-to-hand fight
against the government troops with their
machetes.
The story of the fighting was told in a
dispatch from General Bivas, who was in
command of th«» troops that attacked the
insurgents. According to Rlvas, the battle
began early on Tuesday, the government
forces assuming the offensive by an attack
on Tisma. which had been occupied by the
insurgents, who had mounted iwo .Maxim
guns. These guns, commanded by Captain
Fowler, did great execution among the
loyal troops and for st-veii hours General
Chamorro had the advantage.
At an opportune moment Rivas was re
inforced by the men under Chavarria.
Soon afterward General Vasquez and Gen
eral Aguilar came to the support of the
government linep. Aguilar brought artil
lery and poured a merciless fire in'o the
ranks of the insurgent infantry. At sun
down the rebels withdrew toward Tipitapa.
leaving their dead upon the field. The
fighting was the most severe of the war
thus far, 400 men being killed or wounded.
During the night Chamorr" reorganized
his forces and attempted tho capture of
the trenches occupied by General Ramirez
at Tipitapa. The fighting lasted for four
hour?, when the insurgents were driven
back. They retired in the direction of
Satlio-. and it is thought that they will join
the division under General Mena.

WIGHT FOE SEYLER
Lawyer Wants Girl's Bod
Exhumed — Brother in Jail.
Atlantic City, Feb. William Seyler,
the accused murderer of Jane Adams, and
his brotliT Orvis, were taken to the county
jail at Mays Tending to-day.
Kdward c. Gaskill, counsel for William
Seyler, will ask for an order from the court
for the dlstnterment of the body of Jane
Adams for the purpose of an examination
by the surgeons retained by the defence.
He says that no evidence was produced at
the inquest last night to prove that the
girl died by violence, and he will plead be
fore the court that the defence should have
the right to produce evidence concerning
the probable cause of death from its own
physicians.
An effort is also to be made for the re
lease of Seyler on habeas corpus proceed
ings under the plea that the evidence pro
duced at the inquest was not sufficient to
warrant holding Seyler on the charge of
murder.
Prosecutor Goldenberg said to right that
he would oppose all efforts to have the
body of the dead girl disinterred, and also
the release of Seyler on habeas corpus pro
ceedings. p
TO PROBE "THIRD DEGREE."
Senator Heyburn Aroused at Alleged
Seyler Inquisition.
Washington, Feb. 24. If a resolution in
troduced in the Senate to-day by Senator
Heyburn is adopted the Srnai.- will take up

for the appointment of a select committee
of three to investigate "the practice of ad
ministering what is known as the 'third de
gree' ordea 1 by officers of the law for the
purpose of extorting statements and con
tessions from those charged with crime."
Mr. Heyburn said he hail read an article
from i Washington paper giving an account
of the methods said to have been resorted
to by the Atlantic City police to obtain a
confession from William Seyler. charged
with the murder of Jiuie Adams. He as
serted that such methods were more cruel
than those of the Inquisition.
The resolution was referred to the Com
mittee on the Judiciary.

one over each hip. divided front and back,
and caught with a cabochon a little above
the hem. These cabochons, of • jewels,
shirred silk or embroidery, constitute the
only trimming on many of these tunic
gowns, and seem to be quite essential to
their completed perfection.
The grace of a tunic knotted in the front
and back is questionable, but it Is very
French, and hence, of course, adopted by
the devotees of things Parisian. The Rus
sian tunic, a peplumlike structure of even
length, cut off at the knee or above, is seen
on few of the elaborate evening gowns, but
seems reserved for the, short skirted frock,
for which it is best suited.
For the debutante, "ii the other hand, the
pleated, shirred or (luted skirt stems, to Ik
the thing. It is worn with a high beH or a
mere bit. of corded silk to indicate the
waistline, and ha? a simple "baby waist"

"HOME MEN" GET IT.
Toledo Mayor I Upsets Old Suf

"Men who object l-> women voting are

Brand Whttlock. Mayor <>f Toledo, In his
talk on "Woman and Democracy" at the
meeting of the Equal franchise Society at
the Garden Theatre yesterday afternoon.
••I've noticed that men who talk lik.- this
are the very ones who never home tiil
every other place is shut up. Their hbmea
are wigwam." with modern conveniences,
and th*-ir wives are well dressed squaws.
They assigv. women certain drudgery in
the home and call it woman's sphere.
••There's no dout>t chat a good many men
like the feeling of superiority the privilege
of voting gives then. They !ik" to have
women think 'Jiat they are giving m rious,
calm, almost godlike consideration to
problems of sta 1 . ■>. The-? ar<* the men who
general!;/ don't know v.'hat their senti

"But worse than the attitude of the
'antl' men Is the a!n\<.<si sodden indiffer

real life, who live t.ut >>f their checkbooks,
as it were; women who are quite satisfied
v.-ith the privileges they have, satisfied to

HOTELS FOR GIRLS.
Women Discuss Needs of
Workers Without Homes.
While admitting that there was a great
need for low priced hotels for working
girls, Mrs. Eva McDonald Vales!) warned
the League for Political Education, at No.
23 West 44th street, yesterday morning that
there was a danger that they might tend
to cut wages.
"There are always employers who will
take advantage oi these things." she said.
" "l^ook how cheap yon •■an live," they say.
and along comes another reduction. But
hotels for working ffirls -are needed, only
they ir..:stiVt he- >:rgar:'.zed on stiff lines.
In America we're too likely to want to fix
persons" lives after our own pattern. It
diiei gee hi strange that we don't have the
,i)OH]>. comfortable little inn- you find
everywhere in Europe.'"
"Cheap resorts get immoral here." <">b
feeted a woman In the front row. -The
cafe life is ideal for working people in
Europe, but '-afe life is far from id*-al
here."
"Such plates are immoral here because
of th.> conditions that . are permitted in
New York," said the speaker. "The cadet
system, for instance, which wouldn't b«»
tolerated in some European cities. The
municipality ought to do more for work
ins girls. They are taxpayers. There oueht
to be small parks, chances for recreation on
the water, places where working girls can
meet young men in a nice way. At pres
ent they're driven on the street, and you
know what that means. Above all, they
need decent places to live in. I sometime?
wonder how on earth these girls, with
their wages, manage to exist in New York.
•The big hotel that was started here
some years ago supposedly for working
women has become so popular with women
who don't have to work that a girl with
ordinary wages, even, couldn't possibly
live there. The right son of homes for
working women are needed, but above all
let us strive to get wages up to a living
level."

WOMES AXF> KIKVCHI.
Not Attracted hi) the Status of
.'.. Their Sex in Japan.
When Baron Dairoku Kikuehi. presi
dent of the Imperial University of Japan,
spoke on "Woman's Position In Japan" be
fore the guests of the Woman's" Municipal
Leagne at ■ tea given at th« Plaza Hotel
yesterday afternoon, the committee In
charge tried to produce tut much Oriental .
atmosphere as was possible in so Occi
dental a place as New York-
For this purpose the committee *r:g%a!*A
some young: Japanese players, who per
formed on strange and curious instru
ments, upon which they twanged weird and
peculiar tunes. Dressed in their native
costume, they - squatted upon cushions ti
their native way and laughed as though
they thought themselves an amusing inno
vation. Of the young woman who san?
with a surprising! v pretty, clear voice the
story is told that *>he and her husband will
soon return to their home country to rojnd
a school of Eastern opera.
: Standing underneath the intertwined flag*
of Japan and th- United States, Baron
Kikuchi explained at length that th*>
Japanese woman is very happy. *T»'«V
though her lot may seem hard ".a ttl
American, Hi admitted that the JaDMtMS*
woman usually had her husband chosen lor
her. and that the authority of her paren..3
.in-law was so far reaching that they might
secure the divorce of a daughter-in-law on
the ground of ' loquacity" or "disobedi
ence." but ail this, he maintained, was not
so bad as it sounded.
"Marriages," caW Iks baron, ".ire ar
ranged by the parent.*. Fortunately. there
are some people fond of matchmaking *h«
like to bring about marriages between eligi
ble young men and women. If the parents
are satisfied. the ■:■.::)? ones are •":•' about
It and the negotiation.* are closed.
"Sometimes the daughter has tr.3 option
of a refusal, but seldom does she exercise
I*. Lately tn Tok: ) some progress: - ? younc
women thought they ought to hn.ve fr**
choice, but the results generally were dis
astrous."
Judging from what th.> baron said, it is
mor« fun for a woman to beloncr to the ar
tisan tr-an to the upper -class in Japan.
"A display of feeling is not considered
proper In the upper classes." he said, "but ti
quite permissible in the lower classes. The
artisan's wife may call her husband by his
first name, but a lady never doe?. Th»
lower classes go out together and conspicu
ously enjoy life in each other's company,
but in the upper classes, thougn the wife
is highly respected, the man walkr first,
enters the house first and Is served first on
all occasions."
Baron Kikuehi was introduced by Mrs.
Edward R. Hewitt, president of the league,
and his host i:-. New York. Joklc.tl Taka
mlne, accompanied him.
After the address the women crowded
around the baron while he drank American
tea. and plied Km with questions about
nag»?, divorce laws, suffrage and every
thing else pertaining to women in Japan.
