Legislation for Motorists. 
It is understood that among recom- 
mendations which the Safe Roads Auto- 
mobile association will make for new 
legislation this year will be one to pro- 
vide for an imprisonment penalty, at the 
discretion of the court, in cases of fla- 
grant violation of the automobile law re- 
quiring every automobile to display a 
number plate. 
At present the only punishment for 
this offence is the imposition of a fine of 
$25 forthe first offense, $50 for the 
second offence and $100 for the third 
or subsequent offence committed during 
each calendar year. 
It is held by members of the Safe 
Roads Automobile association that the 
failure to display a number plate tf the 
intent of such failure is to conceal the 
identity of the motor vehicle, should be 
punished as severely as the substitution 
of a false number. 
Salem Oratorio Society Concert. 
On Thursday, Jan. 9, at the New 
Empire theatre, Salem’s time honored 
choral society, Emil Mollenhauer, con- 
ductor, will open its 40th season with Sir 
Arthur Sullivan’s most beautiful cantata, 
““The Golden Legend,’”’ assisted by the 
Boston Festival orchestra, and fine solo 
talent. Mrs. Grace B. Williams of 
Taunton has a soprano voice of wonder- 
ful purity and sweetness, surpassed by 
none on the concert stage, which has 
made hera great favorite in Salem. Miss 
Florence A. Nickerson of Malden, con- 
tralto, gave great satisfaction in ““The 
Messiah,’’ in Newburyport recently. 
Frank Ormsby is one of New York’s 
best tenors, and his voice was heard in 
Lynn in ‘‘ Arminius’’ a few weeks ago 
and roused greatenthusiasm. Alfred T. 
Denghansen of Boston, the baritone, is 
a new comer to Salem but his work at a 
recent recital in Boston provoked most 
favorable comment from the Boston mu- 
sical critics. 
The society’s talented accompanist, 
George B. Stevens of Gloucester will be 
at the piano. 
There will undoubtedly be a large au- 
dience to welcome the Oratorio society 
in its initial performance in the new 
theatre, under the more favorable condi- 
tions of comfortable seatings and sur- 
roundings, which Cadet hall in spite of 
its fine acoustic properties, did not pos- 
sess. 
After this concert, the society will 
take up Flotows’ beautiful opera “*:Mar- 
tha’’ and present it Tuesday, April 21, 
availing itself of the enlarged orchestra 
and give soloists gathered for the annual 
spring tour of the Boston Festival or- 
chestra. 
Tickets for the ‘‘ Golden Legend ’’ 
concert are now on sale at the Empire 
‘Theatre and may be engaged by mail or 
phone.
