More Complicated Every Season

CHICAGO Aug. 21. First Assist
ant Corporation Counsel E. C. Wet
ten announced yesterday that alarmed
ty the increasing number of automo
Wists the next legislature would be
asked to pass a law compelling class
ification of the various kinds of ma
chines, the licensing of all drivers, and
fossibly barring from the city streets
those cars whose high power makes
peed far in excess of the city's regu
lations. A casual examination of the report
af motor accidents seems to show
taat many of them occur when the
machines are driven by young per
sons or by women," he exclaimed. "At
present there is no way of preveuting
this and no way of making sure that
anyone h tbe capability and exper
ience necescsary to handle a large ma
chine. "A law will be asked which will al
low a man to drive his machine if he
knows enough about it, but which
will prevent his children from taking
turns at imperilling the lives of pedes
trians. Every season makes such a
few more necessary because every sea
son brings into the market cars with
tore complicated mechanisms."

on the erection of the steel frame for
the newlibrary is to begin in thenear

GLASS IN HIS EYE.
After Twenty-six Years it Comes Out
by Accident
NEW YORK, Aug. 21. Theodore
Norman, an engineer at Avon-by-the-
Sea, fell down a flight of stairs at his
home in Hemburg, Germany, 26 years
ago and received a deep cut over the
right eye that would never completely
heal. Yesterday when blood started
to trickle from the wound Norman
pressed his handkerchief against it
rather roughly. The handkerchief
caught in something and when the
engineer gave it. a yank, he pulled
from the wound a piece of glass about
three-quarters of an inch in length.
Then he remembered that he was
carrying a glass bottle at the time he
fell down the stairs.

A 24-Ton Boulder Marks the Spot
Where the Great Emancipator Met
For the First Time the "Little
Giant" of Ante-Bellum Days,
CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-The semi
centennial celebration of the great de
bate between Abraham Lincoln and
Stephen A. Douglas was celebrated
at Ottawa, 111., today on the spot
where the "Great Emancipator" and
the "Little Giant" stood during their
argument of fifty years ago. In com
memoration of the event a unique
monument marking the spot in Wash
ington Park was unveiled by Illinois
chapter, Daughters of the Revolution.
A 24-ton boulder has been brought
from M. Trumbo's farm and placed
on a concrete base in the park.On the
face of the boulder a bronze tablet j
bears the following Inscriptions:!
"Thois boulder marks the site of the I
fire T tnr1r, awt Ytrtiicvloa tohttt tl1ft '
j August 21, 1858., Erected by the Illi-
nois Chapter Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution, Ottawa, 111., August
21, 1908."
The semi-centennial celebration was
directed by the LaSalle County His
torical Association which has been
planning for the event for over a year.
The unveiling ceremonies were ar
ranged under the auspices of the
Daughters of the Revolution who
gathered the funds for the installa
tion of the monument

road at Seaside. That he took
enough interest in the country to be
lamook and the Oregon coast coun-
;try. Mr. Woodworth is a traffic man,
as keen a one as is attached to the
! Hill staff. On his walking tour he
would have ample opportunity to es-
jtimate the volume of traffic to be ex-
Ipected along the projected line and to
j judge of the feasibility of the surveys.
"That N. D. Miller, chief engineer
for the Hill forces in the construction
of the North Bank road, has taken
up his residence in Astoria is another
fact that adds to the belief that the
Hill roads will invade Western Ore
gon, Mr. Miller was brought out here
from St. Paul to build the Spokane,
Portland & Seattle road, a task which
he completed most creditably. Now
that the line is finished, it would be
his wish to return to his home and
friends in St. Paul, were he not need
ed further to direct Hill construc
tion in this territory. Astoria would
be the logical headquarters for opera
tions in the coast country.
"There have been many high offic
ials of the Hill system in Portland,
during the past few weeks and there
have been conferences without end.
C. M. Levey, third vice-president of
the Northern Pacific, with headquar
ters at St. Paul, where he is said to
be close to the throne, came to the
city with H. C. Nu'tt, general manager
of the west end of the same railway.
Mr. Levey said he would be in this
territory .all summer."

NEW YORK, Aug. 2l.-Profesnor
Melvin E. Haggcrtyof Harvard Uni-'
versity, who has been studying mon
keys in the Bronx Zoo park for the
past month, has proved to his own a-
t.isfaction that some of them at least,
are not merely imitator ftnhe human
species, but have an initiative. In one
of his tests he had a platform built
extending about five feet outside the
cage occupied by the'orang outangs,
Mickey and Minnie. On the extreme
end pf this he placed a bunch of ba
nanas and some luscious peaches.
Then he placed in the cage a long
stick with a hook in the end and went
away.
He had not been gone five minutes
when Mickey looked at Minnie, wink
ed and laughed. Minnie laughed and
laughed too. Then Mickey got the
hook, raked in the fruit and they had
a delicious meal. Later' Professor
Haggerty tried the trick on Baldy,
the chimpanzee, but b.e got the fruit
within close range before the hook
was ready and there was no need to
go any further. Baldy also had an
