CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH DuBoia has already effected an organ izat ion, such as that proposed by the local automobile owners, and the two towns will cooperate to see that the by-laws of their respective clubs are respected. All moneys accruing from line-, must be paid into the borough or township treasuries, who shall expend 1 he. amounts for building good roads. The fine for the lirst offense is not loss than $10, and not more than ?-.r» For the second offense the license of the driver will be revoked. In the country districts the offender shall be taken before th<» Justice of the eace, and in towns before a justice or magistrate. The by-laws will recite the provision# of the law which gives to any constable the right to arrest without warrant any person violating the speed limit, Gnd hail them before the local courts. The ie\v dub will cooperate with the thw iship supervisors in every legitimate way to secure road reconstruction under the supervision of the township authorities, and of \ permanent nature, as well as to keep the roads now in 'use free of stones end other obstructions that hinder speed and impede any sort of vehicle. In country districts the supervisors may set the limit either above or below twenty miles per hour, provided the road is placarded with signs, not over one-half mile apart, setting forth plainly the speed limit, and the penalty for violating it. No chauffeur will be allowed to drive faster than ten miles per hour within the limits of the borough, or 20 miles in the country districts. An ordinance requiring drivers to maintain a lower rate of speed than ten miles ii/i hour within the limits of tlv be:rough would be unconstitutional. The club will adopt a complete set of by-laws, which will govern the members and which must conform te the State laws and borough ordinances as t > speed limits.

CALCUTTA, Feb. 11.—The British Colonial circles are in a state of terror today by the disclosures made by the native, Hose, who yesterday assassinated Public Prosecutor Biswas in the court room at Alipur. The assassin boasts of the deed and says the murder is but the first of a prearranged series of murders intended to terrorize officials throughout the empire. He detles the police to capture the prospective assassins or prevent the murders already arranged. The authorities are ransacking tin- native sections of every city i nsearch of incriminating evidence. The anti-English feeling is spreading daily. The long suppressed hatred of the natives for the white masters is cropping out all sides and it is believed that a mutiny worse than the historic one is editor in Calcutta Says Murders Have .lust Started.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH DuBoia has already effected an organ izat ion, such as that proposed by the local automobile owners, and the two towns will cooperate to see that the by-laws of their respective clubs are respected. All moneys accruing from line-, must be paid into the borough or township treasuries, who shall expend 1 he. amounts for building good roads. The fine for the lirst offense is not loss than $10, and not more than ?-.r» For the second offense the license of the driver will be revoked. In the country districts the offender shall be taken before th<» Justice of the eace, and in towns before a justice or magistrate. The by-laws will recite the provision# of the law which gives to any constable the right to arrest without warrant any person violating the speed limit, Gnd hail them before the local courts. The ie\v dub will cooperate with the thw iship supervisors in every legitimate way to secure road reconstruction under the supervision of the township authorities, and of \ permanent nature, as well as to keep the roads now in 'use free of stones end other obstructions that hinder speed and impede any sort of vehicle. In country districts the supervisors may set the limit either above or below twenty miles per hour, provided the road is placarded with signs, not over one-half mile apart, setting forth plainly the speed limit, and the penalty for violating it. No chauffeur will be allowed to drive faster than ten miles per hour within the limits of the borough, or 20 miles in the country districts. An ordinance requiring drivers to maintain a lower rate of speed than ten miles ii/i hour within the limits of tlv be:rough would be unconstitutional. The club will adopt a complete set of by-laws, which will govern the members and which must conform te the State laws and borough ordinances as t > speed limits.

CALCUTTA, Feb. 11.—The British Colonial circles are in a state of terror today by the disclosures made by the native, Hose, who yesterday assassinated Public Prosecutor Biswas in the court room at Alipur. The assassin boasts of the deed and says the murder is but the first of a prearranged series of murders intended to terrorize officials throughout the empire. He detles the police to capture the prospective assassins or prevent the murders already arranged. The authorities are ransacking tin- native sections of every city i nsearch of incriminating evidence. The anti-English feeling is spreading daily. The long suppressed hatred of the natives for the white masters is cropping out all sides and it is believed that a mutiny worse than the historic one is editor in Calcutta Says Murders Have .lust Started.
