A Tremendous Growth. \This tremendous growth,\ said the Secretary, \exceeding over 120,000 at the present time, together with the thousands of non-resident motor cars touring our state, likewise the rapid increase in the use of the commercial motor ca;r, chiefly ambulances, fire ap- paratus, trucks, and light delivery wagons, means that the automobile has become a permanent institution, an interwoven factor everywhere in our daily activity, both in business and pleasure, crowding our city streets with a swift, dangerous and highly complex machine, capable of effecting great injury in the hands of the un- skilled and reckless driver.\ Continuing, the secretary declared that the cairb'e'oT fnoSt aTrfonl'oT5ile\*ac- i-'iuents is not due to the machine it- ;ii.

VOTES FOR WOMEN MEETING. About Seventy Present at Meeting at Court House Last Night. Despite a heavy downpour of rain Ex-Senator Wants Freedom If \Squeals\ on Legislature.\ If former Senator Stephen J. Stil- well wants to save himself from being taken to state's prison next Thursday he must, between now and then, make the detailed confession of legislative wrongdoing which some of his friends say he had in mind last week when he requested a week's extension of the stay of sentence. There was a report yesterday that Stilwell was writing his statement and that he had communicated with Mr. Whitman to that effect. The dis- trict attorney denied that he had any such news. He added that no assur- ance, had been given that the convict- ed politician would really \squeal.\ Stilwell is under a sentence of not less than two years growing out of the effort to have George Kendall of the New York Bank Note Coriipany pay him a bribe to have certain bills Ken- dall was interested in passed through the state senate. Stilwell wants his unconditional re- lease as the price of his confession and this has not heen promised.

Albany, July S.—After having been unsuccessful in three attempts to have John Mitchell ot Mt. Vernon, former president of the United Mine Workers , of America, made state labor commis- sioner, Gov.

Mr. Lynch, tiie new appointee, is now completing his seventh two-year term as president of the International Typographical Union.. In announcing . Mr. Lyncli's appointment, the gover-, nor, after praising his work as a \con- ciliator and arbitrator,\ said: \If the disputes between capital and labor are ever 'to be adjusted as they should be by mutual recognition of the rights and interests of both parties to every such controversy, then the state of New York must look to experienced men such as Mr. Lynch, to assist in this great work.\ Ghase Active Locomotive Engineer. Mr. Chase, the governor said, is now ' and has been a locomotive engineer for more than twenty years.

Central New York delegates to the general convention of the Episcopal Church to be held in New. York City in October, will favor a movement to reestablish the custom of publishing marriage banns, in the Episcopal church as a means of doing away with any impediment to a lawful marriage. The old law of the church com- mands the following publication: \Herewith are published the banns of marriage between • and . If any of you know cause or just im- pediments why these persons should not be joined together in the bonds of holy matrimony, ye are to declare it. This is the first (or second, or third, as the case may be) time of asking.\ According to the Episcopal clergy the publication of the banns is in ac- coraance with the. idea of requiring candidates for marriage to be physi- cally fit for the relation. They reduce the number of hasty and injudicious marriages. Among the other important issues to come before the convention will be proposals to change the name of the j was endorsed h church, to rewrite the 3D articles and j Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, to make % riterations on the Book of pj le Brotherhood, of Kaitoad Txaiu,. \ ' fnefi antl-by'the KTew'York'-St^te'Fed- The highest court of the church in i oration of Labor.

L. R. Gl.SiMFKIU Declares His Work Was Well Worth $25. a Day—Will Produce All Papers. Albany, July 7.—Any letters or pa- pers on file, in tj^e executive office which the FravTley legislative inves- tigating committee desires, the com- mittee may obtain. Gov. Sulzer so declared today. At the first meeting of the committee on Thursday Chester C. Piatt, the governor's secretary, was threatened with proceedings to punish him tor Contempt of the legis- lature for refusing to lay before the committee, in the governor's absence certain papers in the executive's of- fice concerning George W. Blake's special investigation of state prisons. The governor also stated that among these papers on file in his of- fice, which the Frawley committee may examine, is his autograph letter to State Comptroller Sohmer, notify- ing that official of Blake's appoint- ments \to serve without compensa- tion,\ and authorizing tlie comptroller to pay Blake ¥25 a day for his expenses.' It was brought out at the hearing that this letter had been tak- en from the comptroller's files by Blake, and another letter antedat- ed six weeks was substituted. The substitution, he said, was made with the advice and consent of the comp- troller's office. Concerning Blake's appointment and his remuneration, both of which were subject of close inquiry by the committee, the governor said he had appointed Blake under the Moreland act, and that the legislature had no more to do with any expenditures he authorizes under that act than he himself would have to do with the expenditure of the contingent fund by the legislature. The executive added that he con- sidered Blake's work well worth $25 per day and had therefore authorized the payment. * John N. Carlisle has appointed Wal- ter F.

A debate between the Cortland and the Blodgetl's Mills Y. P. B. was listened to with pleasure. Symposiums were conducted by Tompkins and Yates county delegations. Monday evening a gold medal contest was held in charge of Miss Lucile Petrie of Low- ville, state superintendent of medal contests. The annual picnic was held at Sunset Beach Tuesday. The invitation of Lowville for the convention next year was accepted. Foster Hubbard as cornetist and Mr. Goutreniont of Lowville as violinist, assisted with the music during the convention. Lowville Branch, with its 60 mem- bers, stands fifth in the state and re- ceived as a banner a large silk flag for having contributed most to the state treasury this year. Miss Petrie was again appointed su- driving at a high rate of speed past crossways, sharp curves, school-houses-, horse drawn vehicles, trolley cars, or over wet pavements and bridges.\ Mr. May said that the basis of safe driving as well as the solution j of this problem, whieh will be con- sidered by the commission upon uni- form automobile laws about to be created, rests in the requirement call- ing for an examination of all opera- tors, both owners and drivers alike, similar to that conducted in France, Germany and England and many of the Eastern states, notably Massachu- setts, and that even a superficial oue is better than none. Otherwise freak laws, strong opposition from fanatics and growing misunderstanding on the pnrt of the public will inevitably con- tinue to increase.
