Reform In Automobile
License Plates Asked:
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 20— J
Of the thousand and one parts of j
an automobile, no part receives less J
attention or more abuse than the ,
license plate, its location and its il- i
lumination, according to the division j
of simplified practice of the depart
ment of commerce. The report was
made following a study of the license
plate and its importance as a safety
factor, and emphasizes the existing
lack of uniformity.
“The usefulness of the standard li
cense plate in traffic control and
regulation can be greatly enhanced
by study and co-operative action by
all concerned,” the division says.
“When it becomes hard to get the
number, and there is less possibility
of error, many a chance-taker will
drive more sanely.
"Traffic officers in cities,towns and
states will be aided in their work
when license plates are more uni
form. Standard sizes of plates,
mounted in standard locations and
with standardized numbering codes
ought to make his inspection easier,
more accurate and positive.

FORMER SENATOR OF
TEXAS PASSES AWAY
(Continued from Page One)
ia, where he became judge of the
student law court and orator of the
Jefferson Literacy Society, both ex
ceptional honors.
He was admitted to the bar in 1877
and at once took a high place as an
attorney and practitioner. In 1882,
while practicing in Marion County,
Texas, he won considerable fame
through his brilliant defense of a
man convicted of murder under the
Ku Klux law of Texas. Culberson
took hold of the case, appealed it to
the circuit court, and by his able
pleading secured a reversal ol the
verdict with a declaration of the un
constitutionality of the Ku Klux law.
His ability soon forced him into
the political arena and in 1880, when
but 25 years of age, he was elected
County Attorney of Marion. After
a short incumbency he resigned to
engage once more in his private prac
tice, which had grown to such pro
portions that it caused him to de
cline a nomination to the State leg
islature, offered by his party in 1882.
In 1888 he removed to Dallas and
established the law firm of Bookhout
and Culberson, wherein he continued
active until 1890, when he attend
ed th^ Democratic state convention
and was nominated for attorney gen
eral by acclamation. He was elect
ed by a large majority and served
until 1894, when he was nominated
for Governor and elected in the fall
of that year. His efficient adminis
tration of the office brought him a
second nomination in 1896, and des
pite the opposition of a powerful
fusion ticket growing out of the fi
nancial issues then attracting nat
ional attention, he was again elected
; by an overwhelming majority.
At least twice during his political
activities of that period he stood
before the international spotlight—
once in 1896 when the whole world
was watching his celebrated corres
pondence with Prince Bismark on
the subject of bimetallism, and again
when he issued an executive order
prohibiting the Corbett-Fitzsimmons
fight which was to be held in Texas
in 1S95.
He was elected to the United
States Senate in 1899; reelected in
1905, again in 1911, and for the 4th
time in 1916 He was unopposed
for his seat in the latter campaign.
Toward the end of his senatorial
service, Mr. Culberson confined his
appearance in the chamber to the
brief periods necessary to record his
vote or to listen in on various dis
cussion which interested him. He
was always ailed by an attendant
when he entered and left his Seat,
but otherwise his physical condition
was unimpared. His eyes were bright

The Senator’s condition was aggra
vated during the spring of 1922, those
close to him said, by the notoriety
artending the charges of a former
British soldier that he was being
railroaded out of the United States
because of the attachment between
himself and Mr. Culberson’s only
daughter.
