AUTO ANIMOS|TY
WILL DIE OUT
ORGANIZATION OF OWNERS IS
EFFECTIVE
Opposition of the Farmers Lessons
as Good Roads Become a
Feature Of Motor

mo sport or industry In the United
States is so menaced by hostile legisla-
tion, state and city, as that Of automo-
bling" said Sidney S. Gorham, secre-
tary of the American Automobile asso-
citation at Wilkesbarre, last week.
Individual motorists are powerless
to accomplish anything towards check
ing the enactment of oppressive state
laws or city ordinances. Practical re-
suits must be sought along lines which
are essential to the enjoyment of the
sport, which is by organization.
Until the end of time there will be
persons opposed to automobiles. It is
the same spirit that encourages an in
dividual to get the better Of railroad
If he can.
New trolley lines, even when pro-
jected in districts where they are
bound to benefit the inhabitants, always
meet with opposition, and automobiles
must expect the same treatment.
"At the present time, however, motor
lists are sufficiently numerous in many
districts to stand up for their rights
and they are sure of getting some sort
of hearing. They do not very often
get what they are entitled to or what
they ask for, but it is the best that
can be done at present.
"The principle of organization should
also be carried out in the agitation
for good roads. In some Of the farming
districts of the western states there is
strong opposition against improving
the highways.
THE farmers have probably seen
some bad case of reckless driving by
some irresponsible tourist who was
chasing across country. killing a few
chickens or frightening the horse
driven by some farmers wife on hei
way to the crossroads store.
"From then on the farmers of that
locality are 'agin' automobiles. This
feeling is so intense that in some dis
tricts the farmers have acknowledged
that they knew the roads were bad
but that if they were improved more
automobilists would tour the districts
and so they refuse to vote for high
way improvement, preferring the pool
roads to the presence of automobilists
"This feeling will die out in time
or when the farmers begin buying au-
tomobiles and Joining the American
Automobile association, but in the
meanwhile automobilists must organ
ize to get their rights"

FEDERAL TROOPS TO LEAVE
San Francisco viii Not Need Their
Services Afte. Few

BY Associated Press.

BY AssOCIHIHu FIVSs'
SAN FRANCISCO. May 26.-In the
opinion of Mayor Schmitz, the entire
force Of federal troops now on duty
in this city will be recalled within the
next few weeks The mayor is of the
opinion that the police department Of
San Francisco is fully capable of
handling the situation, being in better
condition than ever before in the his
tory Of the municipality.
The mayor makes this statement in
answer to J. r. Byrne of this city, who
is quoted in a press dispatch from
Washington as representing to Presi-
dent Roosevelt that San Francisco is
still in need of military guard and that
the police department is not equal to
the situation that confronts it at the

Auto-Graphs

That the services Of automobiles in
San Francisco were of paramount inn
portance has become more emphasized
with every bit of fresh detail A graphic
picture is found in a letter written by
w. r. Culberson, agent Of the George
N. Pierce company. It is glowing
throughout. In part he says:
II was at the garage at s o'clock on
the fateful morning. Within the hour
the order came from the city author
tiles to send every automobile available
down town to convey the wounded to
places Of safety. I took charge Of this
work and had no sleep nor rest for six
ty hours. There was nothing to eat
1 did not want to eat | shall never
forget the scenes witnessed.
Il am firmly of the belief that had It
not been for the motor vehicles, the
death list would have been doubled, If
not trebled. Cars were forced over
heaps Of brick, glass, hot cinders and
into every conceivable place to save
people. They all did heroic work and
without any enthusiasm or exaggera-
tlon, the Pierce-Arrow proved itself to
be pure gold. The little two-cylinder
cars that had been in the rental SER
vice for years did not falter even when
overloaded. The four-cyllnder cars
were kept going day and night, from
present time. The only attention they
have had is water, oil and gasoline put
into them and changes Of tires"
Enthusiasts and skeptics alike were
astonished by the recent demonstration
in the economy of the Automobile club
of America, of the distance 1t is pos
sible for car to go on two gallons of
gasoline. Yet, when the performance of
the winner is reduced to the formula
of the quantity OF fuel used per mile,
for every thousand pounds weight of
the car, the record made Is far below
what has been done abroad. Figured
down to the basis mentioned which is
the formula used abroad, 1t is seen
of how much advantage the superlative
roads Of England are in such events.
The Franklin car that won, travelled 95
miles. This is equivalent to 68 miles,
per gallon, per thousand pounds weight.
In the English contest last year, a Lam
chester car scored 101 miles, per gall
lon, per thousand pounds.
Serious injury to the horse and car
riage business in London Is being done
by the automobile. according to the En-
glish papers. The Daily Mail says
there are an unprecedented number OF
stables to rent and the coach builders
are finding it impossible to get rid of
their stocks.
Gable advices state that the American
automobilists in Paris gave a rousing
reception to Percy Pierce, the lone
American, who went over to compete
with his Great Arrow car against all
the French and German cracks in the
big touring events. Pierce's plans pro-
vided for one week stay in Paris and
then drive in his car to Frankfurt,
Germany, from where the Herkomer
contest starts.
Secretary Gorham of the American
Automobile association is now on a
recruiting tour with plans to line up the
state associations of clubs. Individual
memberships at 81 a year are receiving
a boom in consequence of the many new
advantages offered.
