Arcl.lf\'gmn County police today._ started & rigorous campaign against Virginia residents operating automobiles under District of Columbia license tags. All roads leading to Washington were being patrolled this morning by officers whose eyes were continually focused on the little number plates on the front and rear of the cars heading toward the National Capital, and few bearing District of Columbia tags es- caped being stopped. Many Drivers Stopped. Drivers who could not give a satis- factory reason for using the District of Columbia tags were ordered to ap- pear before Judge Harry R. Thomas in Police Court tomorrow morning. Just how many drivers will have to face the arm of the law could not be ascertained, as the officers will be kept on the roads all during the day and will not make their reports until this evening. The reason for this infraction of the Virginia law is easily explained, one official stated today. In the District of Columbia, he said. the tags cost §1, while in Virginia authority for driving @ car stands the owner 60 cents per horsepower. This is a big saving if they get away with it, this official explained, but if they are caught up and convicted “there i= a different story to tell.” Fine Runs to $14.25 The usual fine for this violation is $5 and costs, making about $14.25 in all, and, in addition, the offender is forced to procurs the Virginia tags it he or she continues to reside in the State and operate an auto.

The State elected to try him on the attack charge, which « e< the death penalty. Judge Stoll received permission of the defense counsel to Invite Col. Dan M. Carrell, commanding the troops. and Adjt. Gen. Kehoe to occupy seats beside him on the bench. Formal ar- ralgnment was waived, and the negro sald, “Yes, sir,” when asked whether he was guilty. The first 12 men on the jury panel were called, and each was asked by the State: “Have you any conscien- tious scruples against inflicting the death penalty?” None of them had Each was asked by James B. Farmer, president of the Lexington Bar Asso- ciation, chief counsel for the defend ant: “Can you give this man a fair and impartial trial?” They all said they could. The jury was sworn in Sherift E. S. Fuller, to whom Harris confessed. testified very briefly. He was excused without cross-examina- tion, and no defense was offered Peremptory instructions to bring in a plea of guilty were given the jurors, and they were told to bring in a peni- tentiary sentence or to inflict the death penalty. The jury filed out, wrote its verdict and came’ back. “Brought It on Self.” Harris was called before the judge. asked If there was any reason wh he should not be hanged. “No, si he mumbled. “I brought it on my- self and didn't fight the case.” Harrls was taken back to the State Reformatory, at Frankfort, within little more than an hour after his conviction and sentence. The entire procedure was quiet, and shortly after word came of his safe arrival at Frankfort the State troops were leav- ing Lexington. One thousand National Guardsmen were on watch to prevent a lynching when Harris was brought here. Harris was brought here from the Frankfort Reformatory located at the State capital, 30 miles way. Adjt. Gen. J. A. Kehoe, in taking precau- tlons against a possible attack on Harris' life, ordered one of his officers, Lieut. Coborn Gayle of Frankfort to| walk beside the negro. Gayle of the same physical stature as Harris, was blanketed, as was Har- ris. and led the negro the short d tance from the walls of the X'Fl'rvr_ matory to the walting tank only 15 feet away, and entered the armored haven. The territory around the re- formatory had been roped off for: two blocks and there was but littie| possibility of any one firlng at the| negro except from within the ranks of the National Guardsmen. The streets around the reformatory were patrolled by guardsmen, follow- ing last night's incident, when troop- ers were ordered to loose tear gas on 2 group of 250 curiosity seekers who had milled around the prison. Off-| cers futilely had requested the crowd to_disperse. | Departure from the reformatory was made at 3:14 o'clock this morn tng. It was but an hour's drive fo| Lexington. The tank was puiled by two trucks, enabling faster travel. Realizing that the main highway from Frankfort to Lexington might con- ceal ambushers who would fire at the party, a circuitous route was traveled, Bausiness at Standstill.

HOUSTON, Tex., February 2.— America’s entrance into the World Court is a mere gesture now, Col. E. M. House told newspaper reporters here yesterday. “We have no more privileges now than we had before we entered. As a non‘member we were able to sit in the councils and listen. As members we can do just that thing and nothing more,” he sald. ‘Actually we are little farther than we were before.” Col. House was an unofficial repre- sentative of Presi- dent Wilson dur- inz the World War. vehological effect of th 't will be a great thing he said. “To the masses of the 1 ple. it means that we have en! something like the League of Nations. It is a step in that way, and it allows the leaders to release their efforts to- d a more active entrance not to bring visitors into while there appea. uprising _againsi and business houses in the restric rea also were closed today. Private automobiles were stopped at the oui- skirts of the city and turned away.

Stolk, who will pres over the trial, cleared the courthouse early yesterday and or- witnesses to remain away from the building until after the trial. Negroes who are to testify at coming trials were especia ned to re ain at home during the trial. The city was a virtual fortress to- day, particularly in the vicinity of the house, where the restricted area has been set off. A solid line of troops, with pistols only, was formed around the courthouse, takir in several squares. Whippet tanks were stationed at strategic points and backed up by chine guns. The machine guns were for the most part. mounted in the center of blocks having a clean sweep of the street. In the shadow of the monument to Gen. John H. Morgan and his men one of the machine had been mounted, having a command over three streets. Outposts were statloned at every road le : into the city long he- fore the cavalcade escorting the negro had drawn near, and no vehicles or ped were permitted to enter, vi ly shutting off all inbound traffic.

My ministers have given earnest consideration to the increasing need for national economy. Proposals for effecting reductions in the public expenditures now are being formu- lated, and you will be asked to pass the measures required to give them ef fect without delay. “Proposals will be laid before you for authorizing my government to guarantee loans for the development of the British dependencies in East Africa and of the mandated terri- torles.” Labor Peace Sought. The King pointed out that the im- provement in trade and industry at the end of 1924, which it was hoped would decrease unemployment, was unfortunately checked early last year by widespread depression in the coal mining industry. Since Autumn of last year signs of a revival of industry had begun to appear, but the growth of confidence upon which a revival depended was being arrested by fear of {ndustrial strife. Announcing that the result of the commission of in- quiry into the coal industry would shortly be published, he continued “1 am well aware of the difficulties inherent in the whole situation, but the interests of the nation are para- mount and 1 appeal to all parties to face the future in a spirit of con. clliation and fellowship and avoid action which would again postpone the return of good trade and pros. perity for which we have so long hoped.” He announced that the Government had devised a scheme for reorganiza- tion of the electrical system and that a bill would shortly be introduced to give effect to those proposals. Agri- culture was being carefully considered, proposals for tmprovement were being formulated and a bill would be pre sented to enabla the extension of small holdings as well as a measure to provide for the marking of imported agricultural produce and manufac tured goods “so they may be distin guished from the products of this country, and empire goods distin guished from those of foreign origin.’ The King said he learned with sat- isfaction of the progress in building new houses throughout the country and announced that proposals were being examined for the fmprovement of conditions in congested are He announced that an additional secretary of state would be appointed to replace the secretary for Scotland, and that several bills would be intro. duced dealing with domestic affairs.
