ARMoRED MOTOR CAR.
It Will Be Used for Transporting Gold
in Mexico

unique motor car Is to be constructed
at Buffalo, y. Y, as the result OF an order
taken at the Boston automobile show. The
order was given by l.. NJ. Hart of Boston.
Mr.. Hart has extensive interests In Mex
leo. and among his enterprises are several
gold mines The nearest railroad is many
miles away, and all the gold taken from
the mines must be sent there for shipment
to the north or the capital. 1t is the custom
Of the Yaquis TO attack the gold trains,
swooping down on the guards in the mar
row passes and mountain roads.
Early in the year Mr. Hart bought two
cars. and after he had given them exhaus-
tive tests. became convinced that automo-
biles could be used to advantage In the
transportation of bullion In Mexico. He
took the matter up and result the pre-
lininary plans were drawn up. Armor
plate will be used to protect the working
parts, front seats and tonneau, to protect
the machinery and passengers from attacks
both on level ground and while running
through defiles where attack from
above might occur. A place will be pro-
vided In the tonneau for carrying gold and
either one or two rapid-fire guns will be
mounted in the front and compart-
ments OF the body. Work on the gold
car" az it has already been termed at the
factory. VIII begin within few days.

LOVE OF EVERYTHING ENGLISH.
Striking Effect of Approaching Royal
Wedding

Special Csblegram to The Star.
MADRID, March 19-One striking effect
of the approaching royal wedding is the
widespread love of everything English. 1t
has been recalled that British popularity
is not a recent feeling in Spain. In this
connection a popular refrain of the
eighteenth century running, War with all
the world and peace with England is
quoted.
The royal stables contain some fine Eng
lsh and Irish horses bearing such names
as Fly. Pretty. Big Ben and others are
being obtained almost daily. Foot nall
has now become quite popular, not only
among the sons of the aristrocracy, but in
popular schools. The king offers a cup for
the annual championship. Polo has been
played for the last three years. Since
the visit OF Princess Ena to Biarritz golf
has leaped into favor; hitherto the game
has been comparatively unknown here.
1t is hoped that the. rigid court etiquette
maintained by Queen Christina will be re-
Taxed by the English queen. Spanish ladies
of the court especially wish for more per-
sonal freedom
The principal shops have placed large
orders for ribbons, neclSties and handker-
chiefs in English colors. Princess Ena''
fancy cakes and pastries are also being
sold. En-. slish literature is also becoming,
quite the fashion in this country, especially
that portion OF 1t which affects the society
of the court.

EUROPE OUR BEST CUSTOMER.
Mostly Foodstuffs and Manufacturer
Materials Sent Abroad

Europe is still our best customer, accord
ing to a bulletin OF the consular service.
She takes two-thirds of the exports Of the
United States and supplies one-third OF the
imports. SO the balance OF trade IN that d.
Tection is IN our favor. The exports OF the
United States got above a billion dollars in
1900 and have stayed there ever since. IN
1905 only $239, 100000 of the exports of this
country to Europe were manufactures. or
the remaining 1852 600 900 the most were
foodstuffs and the rest were manufacturers
materials.
The proportion of this countrys imports
drawn from Europe has been gradually
falling In the past few years. In 1880 the
proportion taken from Europe was 90 fer
cent. Last year IL was only IS per cent
This decrease Is largely attributable to the
growing importation of tropical and sub
tropical fruits, of which this country is an
increasingly heavy consumer. and few OF
which come from Europesn countries

TAKING OF TESTIMONY
In Schiller CASE ENDS
George McRae, Correspondent,
Last Witness to Take
the Stand.

Taking Of testimony in the Schiller
divorce case was finished yesterday
morning. George n. McRae, who was
named by o. F. Schiller as correspond
ent in the case against the latter's wife.
was the chief witness in yesterdays
proceedings.
McRae attributed all the trouble that
has been stirred up over the matter to
Jealousy on the part of the husband,
and took pains to explain how innocent
he had been through IT all Of any
wrongdoing. When he was asked how
he came to have Mrs. Schiller's purse
when he was arrested upon complaint
Of the husband for striking the latter
or the head with a revolver, he said
that he had taken possession OF II as
the lady had no pocket in which to
carry IL.
The witness was asked to explain
why he lived at the Schiller home, and
he declared it was the result of cir
cumstances that he was there and not
fendant. He denied that he had struck
Schiller.
In answering the questions put to
him while on the stand McRae seldom
came directly to the point, but en-
ployed long, rambling sentences and an
abundance of conjunctions.
When the name of a woman who had
been seen on the steps of the Schiller
home was mentioned, Mrs. Schiller sud-
endly exclaimed for the benefit of the
court. That was one Of the woman de-
tectives they hired, Judge" 1t was as
serted by McRae that the woman to
whom reference was made was the wife
of the proprietor Of a detective agency.

WOMAN CAUSES ARREST
OF REAL ESTATE Agent
Police Believe They Have Dis
covered a Gang Of Half
Interest Swindlers.

With the arrest of Lawrence j.
ORourke yesterday for obtaining
money by false pretenses the police
believe they have broken up one of the
most formidable gangs OF half interest
swindlers that has operated in this city
for years.
O'Rourke's arrest was made upon the
complaint of Mrs. Meta Jensen OF 1919
Lyon street. Mrs. Jensen informed the
police that O'Rourke called upon her
and represented that he owned a lodg-
ing-house at 1016 Ellis street. She
paid him s476 for the place, agreeing
to pay the balance of 1926 on August 1.
Later Mrs. Jensen claims that she
called on Mrs. M. j. Lane and learned
that Mrs. Lane was the original owner
of the property. She declares the Fill
more Realty Company. with which
O'Rourke was connected. had purchased
the place from Mrs. Lane about two
weeks ago, paying her 5000 down and
promising to pay the balance, $500, on
August 1. 1t Is claimed that the COM
pany has not yet paid Mrs. Lane the
balance.
Acting Captain of Detectives Ed
Wren concluded that a band of half
interest swindlers were at work and
wasted no time in landing O'Rourke in
Jail. The detectives are now looking
for men named Mccarthy, Smith and
two others whose names are unknown.
They are all connected with the Fill
more Realty Company.
