Tust what did Deputy Commissioner YORK
mean when on the arraignment before him fhe

fighter he asked: What, Are you up again
Don't you think you have already caused me

will he remembered, was for an unprovoked AS
SAINT on a citizen which compelled the citizen
10 remain for seven weeks In hospital recover

was tried before Mr.. York and acquitted under

much ashamed Of his action that he only al
lowed II 10 become known several weeks AFTER
il was taken, when he was forced 20 state
what he had done with the case. Now, what
does Mr. York mean by asking this man, whom
he declares innocent and an object of persecu-
ton. Don't you think you have already caused
me enough trouble"
Caused me trouble How could he cause
trouble TO Mr. York: II ne was truly innocent

York were not his fault. Mr.. York has exon

has therefore no occasion 10 reproach the e1-
prize fighter ms If he had on that occasion been

The only possible reason for which Mr.. York
could speak thus reproachfully 10 Callan on his
second arraignment would he the knowledge
common TO both of them that tallan had been
guilty before, but had been let OFF through
favoritism by Mr.. York. Under such condi-
tionS IL was of course natural for Mr.. York
to suggest 10 the culprit that he had taken
great trouble to save him from the due penalty
of misconduct, had faced public criticism and
ignominy because of this unjust judgment and
that II was nkind and ungrateful for the
beneficiary OF this dirty work so soon to leopard
ize his patron and protectors comfort by COM
pelling a new exhibition of leniency to the eX-
prize fighter with a pull. That must be the
explanation of Mr.. YOrk's reproachful remark.
No other seems to fit the case. That exactly
tallies with Mr. YOrk's secret and sneakinG dis
missal of the former charge as if he knew his
Judgment was unjust and scandalous.
We do not blame him for not wishing Callan
TO make him more trouble, but we are surprised
TO see candidate for county judge advertise the
fact that as a police trial judge he dismsses

4 GOOD AUTOMOBILE TEST.

1t has of late so often seemed necessary TO
reprove and 10 condemn the improper racing Of
automobiles that it is a grateful relief TO be
able 10 speak with hearty commendation Of
one test of, or contest among, such machines
Tomorrow there will begin a race or perhaps
we should more properly call it test Of en-
durance, of a number of automobiles on the
run from Chicago to Buffalo. And on Monday
next similar test will begin on the road from
NewYOrk 10 Buffalo. The intention Is not to
see which machine can run the fastest There
Will be no wild rushing at express train speed
across the country, amid clouds of dust and
smoke. such as some motormen have seemed
10 regard as the highest form of enjoyment and
of sportsmanship. Instead. the machines will
proceed at moderate pace, such as is legiti-
mately sanctioned upon the public highways
II is expected 10 spend about eight days on the
run of 571 miles from Chicago TO Buffalo That
will be about seventy-two miles a day. per-
formance not beyond the powers of a good
horse. The trip from New-York to Buffalo will
be made in a corresponding time and at SINH
lar rate.
To the devotees Of "scorcbing" such race"
may seem tame and Improbable. To those
who have the best interests of automobile riding
and Of the automobile trade at heart il will
seem wise and profitable, far beyond all the
speed racing in the world. That is because IL
will test not the speed. but the endurance and
trustworthiness and general usefulness of the
machines, which latter qualities are incompar-
ably more valuable than the former. There is
no question concerning the speed of automo-
bles, so far as the practical use OF them is CON
cerned. The slowest Of them can run more
rapidly than the law permits or ever should
permit. on public highways. There is, there
fore, no good purpose TO be served in increasing
the speed. When motorman cannot go more
than ten miles an hour without becoming a
lawbreaker. machine which make ten
miles an hour is good. other things being
equal, as one which can make twenty miles
hour. The rational motorman does not. there
fore, seek for the highest pctentiality OF speed,
New-York tribune., 1901-09-06

but rather for the qualities OF endurance and
trIlstworthiness. He wants a machine which
will run uphill as well as downhill, which Will
run long distance without recharging the mo-
tive power which will not break down or get
out OF order. which will always be responsive
to the starting, steering and stopping gear
which will be comfortable 10 ride In and hand
some to look upon. and which will he as free as
possible from noise, smoke and smell.
These latter are the desirable qualities which
users of automobiles will increasingly demand
and which manufacturers will find 1t to their
profit to supply. The process will be much the
same as it was In the case of bicycles. once
the rage was for speed, and consequently for
extra lightness and high gearing. Then came
rational and healthful reaction in favor of ma
chimes of moderate speed and medium weight.
and Of substantial and easy riding construction.
Whatever a few 'seorchers may desire. the
average wheelman wants bicycle on which
he can ride with comfort at a reasonable pace.
and which will not break down nor need read
iustment at every mile post. The need in auto
mobiles is similar, and such competitions as
those 10 which we have referred indicate that
the demand for its fulflment will soon be made
in unmistakabe terms.
