INT TO
aid to the owner Of a New Auto.
mobile.

From Life.
One OF the first things required OF
the genuine automobiles Is that he
mustn't know anything about It. And
the second is like unto the first, which
Is that a man should disregard his
neighbor as much as he loves himself.
These things being understood in the
beginning. your standing among the
fraternity is assured. Here are, In
addition, a few minor matters that
need attention: When you start out,
be sure that your mixture is correct.
Put about five gallons of 70 gasoline
into your tank, and add to this a cou.
pie OF highballs for yourself. You will
be surprised how much better the ma.
chine will run. Upon the extreme care
and minuteness with which you exam.
inc your auto before starting out will
depend the almost absolute certainty
Of breaking down. Don't miss any
thing. therefore. from the steering ap-
paratus to the spark plug. One OF the
greatest things about automobiling is
the way 1t trains the senses BY prac.
tice you will get SO that you can pass
through the most. beautiful scenery
without being aware of It, thus ac.
curing that superb concentration nee.
essary. And you will soon be able to
detect any unusual smell and locate
1t at once.
Be sure to buy the most complete
set OF tools known, and then, before
starting out, take from them the one
tool o will most certainly need, and
leave 1t carefully behind you. After
a while this will become second ma
ture, SO that you won't even have to
think about 1t. Remember that to
keep your auto In the best condition
you must Intricate 1t constantly. To
do this successfully use, say. one-haIf
as much cylinder oil on the machine
as you use OF yourself. BY and by
you can tell by the use you feel wheth.

"Tbe union is dead"

"The union Is dead"
 A Montgomery street car conductor who has taken a lively interest in thn efforts of Ben Commons of New Or leans to unionize the car men of this city made this statement yesterday earnestly but with disgust when ques-. tioned as to the situation.
 He said that the emphatic announces ments of General Manager W. J. Gin niyan of the Montgomery Street RaA- way and General Manager w. H. Rag land of the Montgomery Traction Com nany that they would discharge from their employ every man who 1oined the union had discouraged anu fffsht- ened the men and they had gwen up the union. x,. "A majority of the men were cnick. n-hearted, he declared bitterly, ana we had to give up the movement
 It is said that at the meeting or car men held early yesterday morning 1ui- ly thirty-fve of the forty-seven men who Joined the union submitted their rcsignations and that although MT. Commons addressed the men urging them to reconsider their action the charter of the International Associa- ton of Car Men delivered to the Mont gomery local last Friday morning was returned to Mir. Commons and the men told him frankly that they had reached the conclusion that no union was wanted here.
 The meeting of car men was held at 24 1-2 North Perry Street. It began about 12:3O o'clock and continued until after 2 o'clock. The attendance was large but most of the men said they were there to stop the movement.
 Not one employe of the Montgomery Traction Company declined to enter into the agreement yesterday morning to quit the union and consequently none of them was dismissed from the service of the company. General Man azer Ragland was at the car barns when the men went there at 5:30 o'clock to take out their cars and every man renounced the union before going to work.
 General Manager Ginnivan of the Street Railway, who announced that his motormen and conductors must sign an agreement to quit the union before they could go to work this morning. talked with the men last night. Each of them expressed his willingness to let the union alone and all of them declared that the union was abandoned at the meeting yesterday morning and that the charter had been returned to Mir. Commons.
 In some quarters it is doubted if the union movement has been abandoned, and 1t is said that as a safeguard the street railway officials have planned to meet any contingency that may arise.

 Superintendent Hendricks says he re- grets that any controversy has arisen between the District Attorney of New York County and his deputy in charge of the New York office relative to the delivery of a copy of his report and he has written to MT. Hutner letter dated July 15. in which he says:
 The Letter to Hunter.
 Please deliver to the District Att torney of New York County the copy of evidence taken in the investigation into the management of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, forwarded to you on the 9th day of July, taking his receipt therefor.
 With referee to the inquiry as to why Mr. Hartman was not examined, MT. Hendricks in his statement says:
 He was not member of either the Executive Committee or the Finance Committee, by which committees the business of the Society was transact ed. There was nothing in the records of the Society or the transactions dis closed by any of the schedules fur nished in which MT. Harriman's name appears as either selling to or purchas- ing securities from the Society, except as mentioned in my report. Although the Society has been large purchaser of so-called Hartman securities. a careful examination of the schedules shows that it has not sustained any loss by reason of such holdings"
