FORTY-SEVENTH YEAR No. 144 MILAN EXPEDIT III L Navy Guns In Boston Har bor Thunder Noisy Farewell; May Search For Amundsen First. Boston, Ma63., June 17. (A. P.)

From Wiacassit the Peary and the Bchooner Bowdoin will sail on MacMillan'a ninth voyage into the north. The big guna on the navy cratt thundered farewell as the little steamer slipi d away on the first leg of the triy beyond the Arctic circle. A nivy band on the pier played "Auld Liing Syne." The crowd which hod crammed its way lntj the navy yard cheered. The harbor echuej with the shrieks of marine whistles a6 craft at anchor Joined in the parting tribute. Overhead, as the l'eary passed on Its way out to eea, a dozen hydroplanes circled, MacMillan in outlining the ob jects of his expedition, asserted that it Amundsen, Norwegian Arc tic explorer, believed lost on hi flight to the north pole, had not ben found when the American ex pedition readied Ktuli, Greenland, ho would undenuKB his rescue Amundsen, he uid, will run out of foodtomrrow. Governor Fuller, Assistant Sec retary of the Navy Theodore Hob Inson, Mayor Curley and others were gathered nt the navy yard to wish the expedition bon voyage. MacMillan, abandoning at the last minute r. plnn to fly to Wis casset, accompanied the Peary about two miles out to eca anil then returned by tug to travel overland to the Maine town.

The law applies to vehicles oper ated "not exclusively within the boundaries of incorporated cities and towne of the state of Oregon or within five miles beyond the boundaries of such citlea and towns." Kozer wanta to know what Is meant by the expressions "used for commercl.nl purposes," "article of commerce" end "In the business of selllnn or delivering." Secretary Kt.zer finds especially troublesome the provision requir ing motor vehicles not common carriers to pav In addition to oth er fees an annual license fee enua' to BO per cent of the license, "ac cording to tho light weight of uch motor vel.'dc." It is polnt'.V out that the fee probably cannot be computed In this way sincr sucn vehicle ray license fees ac cording to tire width and not ac cording to weight.
