DYE WORKS COMPANY
DELIVERS BY AUTO
THREE JACKSON RUNABOUTS
PURCHASED LATELY
Small TWo-CyIinder Cars with Eight
cen Horse Power Motor Found
to Answer All Trade
Requirements

Automobiles are employed for many
purposes, and the appreciation of their
worth is being shown daily by various
uses to which they are put This is
noticeably so in the case of the dye
houses which first beC-n to use them
for delivery purposes over a year ago.
At the present time rather more than
thirty machines are engaged in this
service.
The American Dye works, recently
organized in this city, at once realized
their value, and as starter has pur-
chased three Jackson runabouts of the
two-cylinder variety which sell for 5000.
These cars were changed to delivery
bodies and painted gray, to conform
with the body of the car, and they
have attracted much attention by their
natty appearance during the few days
they have been running around the
city.
The new dye-house proprietors are
confident that this small two-cylinder
car. with rs eighteen horse power
motor, will answer all the necessary re-
quirements of the service, and they are
contemplating the use of more of the
same model, so well are they pleased
with this first lot of three.

perseverance have won for the local
company the distinction of having con-
Quoted the largest event of the kind
ever held by one make of car in the
history of motoring. There have been
numerous trips of from fifty to a hum
dred miles, but for a manufacturer to
undertake to conduct a tour of such
length and over such roads has hereto
fore been considered too big task for
the biggest of makers.
when I planned this tour I had but
one object In view" said Mr.. Con-
we'll 81 wanted to show to the pub
lie of this state that it was possible
for an amateur driver to take two
or four cylinder car and with his
wife and children successfully make a
long tour such as we made without
inconvenience. We had many women
and few children on our tour, and
only those who participated can ap-
preciate how successful everything has
been. The route took the cars over
eleven mountain grades and across
much difficult road, but despite the
fact that many of the cars were driven
by amateurs there was not single ac-
cident to mar the trip
IT am especially proud of this fact.
To take so many cars over so long a
course without serious trouble or acci-
dent is a feat of which any maker
could we'll feel proud"
The appearance of some of the
motorists provided amusement for the
hundred who gathered to watch them
come in. Some were covered with dust,
having driven too close to the car in
front. The repair and tire cars were
objects of curiosity. The Goodyear
tire car driven by Hugh McGillvray
was given cheer all it's own when it
Joined the squad at Tropico. This car
had successfully made the entire trip.
The sides were covered with names
which had been scrubbed on during
the course of the trip.

Entries for the Florio and Bologna
races are being received. French cars
were the first to be entered for the

cars for which the entry fee has been
paid. One of the members of the
sports committee says the entries of
three Motobloc, three Bayard- Glenn

will not be on the Florio list, but in
the other race. For the Bologna event
the following cars have now been for

SOLID ROADS NECESSARY
IS EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE
Gravel and Macadam Are No Longer
Considered Practical Where Motor
Car Traffic Is at All
Heavy

Clarence A. Kenyon, an Indianap-
oils civil engineer, has returned home
after an extensive motor car trip
through Europe, where he paid special
attention to the effect of motor car
traffic on public highways. After a
careful study of the situation Mr..
am are no longer practical for road
motor-car traffic, and his observations
are particularly interesting in view of
the fact that just now Indiana is
spending about $S,000,000 for just such
roads. Tn Europe the destructive eff
feet of the motor car on road founda-
tons is universally admitted" he said.
Heavier foundations must be provided.
The rubber tires suck the fine material
out of the road and throw it into the
air in great clouds, creating the dust
nuisance. Creosoted wood block seems
to be taking the place of all other
forms of pavement, for heavy trafficked
streets. For medium and light traf-
licked streets carefully prepared mix
lures of pitch and broken stone are
much in favor. Spraying specially
prepared tar on macadam streets is
being experimental with as a means
of keeping the dust down and as a
preservative by keeping the water out
of the road. Oiling roads in Europe
is not regarded as success" Gravel
and macadam road building in Indiana
is now at the height of it's popularity.
In Madison county alone the commits
sioners are ready to let bids for
twenty-ore new roads to cost $3.50, 600.

RACE AT SAVANNAH
FOR LIGHT CARS
A. C. A. APPROVES OF IDEA TO
ADD EVENT
Under Proposed Limitations Each Car
Must Have Minimum Weight of $50
Pounds-Day Before Thanks
giving the Date

The governors of the Automobile
club of America have approved of a
scheme to run 2O0-mile race at Sa-
vannah, Ga, for light cars in connec-
ton with the scheduled race on
Thanksgiving day under European
rules, and have handed the project over
to the clubs contest committee for ex-
ecution. The idea is to run the light
car race on the day before Thanks
giving day. Under the proposed limi-
tations each car must have a minimum
weight of $50 pounds and the equfva-
lent of a maximum of ga inches
cylinder diameter for a four-cylinder
motor or an equivalent in effective sur
face for motors of a different number
of cylinders. This would give a range
of 750 inches to 2.65 inches for four
cycle motors from one to eight cylin
ders; and 6.35 to 224 inches for two
cycle motors from one to eight cylin
ders. The club announces that the
course will be completed by October l.

LOMBARD MADE LONG
TRIP IN HIS AUTO
Total Mileage of the Trip Was 24oo
MiIes-The Car Has Covered
2s,76o Miles in Eight
cen Months

One of the longest Pacific coast trips
of the year has just been completed
by Mr. and Mrs. Harry M. Lombard.
In Mr.. Lombard's 1907, Stoddard-
Dayton they drove from Los Angeles
over the scorching sands to the Ari-
IONA mining district. Upon their re-
turn to Los Angeles they started at
once for the north. going to Portland
and Seattle and also making the return
drive.
In all they covered 400 miles on the
trip, which made total of 2s,760 miles
for the 1907 Stoddard. Mr.. Lombard
reports highly pleasant trip. The
run to San Francisco was over the well
Travelled roads and was without incl
dent. The roads were good and bad.
Mr.. Lombard regretted to find that the
roads in the northern part of the state,
that is, the section between San Luis
Obispo and San Francisco are in much
better shape than those in the south
ern part.
From San Francisco the running was
not so easy. There were many miles
of road deep in sand. the most diff
cult of mountain grades to buck and
roads which were so deep in dust that
they seemed to have no bottom. But
through all this grief the car kept
plugging along and reached the north
ern cities in good shape.

Accidents on Trip
BY FREDERIC PABsT

Cslifornias greatest tour is at an
end
The Tourist cars which have com
plted a thousand mile trip over Call"
fornia roads arrived home yesterday
to the music of many footing horns
and the cheers of over three hundred
Tourist enthusiasts gathered at Tropi-
co on the San Fernando road to well
come the motorists who have success
fully undertaken the longest touring
contest ever held in the west.
TWenty-six cars left Los Angeles
twelve days ago, and of these twenty
one returned yesterday, and 1t was
noticeable when the machines gathered
near Tropico prior to their entrance
into the city that every car was firing
perfectly and not single machine
showed signs of distress. Even the
two tire cars and the repair crew were
here on time to join the procession. :
A large crowd of Tourist owners and
their friends went out to greet the re-
turning Tourists. All cars were deco
rated with American and Tour or the
Tourist flags, and several were
equipped with siren horns for noise
making purposes.
The score cards were collected at
Tropico, the control having been es-
tabiished there to avoid any delay
after reaching the Auto Vehicle COM
pany. OF the twenty-six starters
twelve made every control on time and
finished the thousand mile tour with
out being penalized a point In addi-
ton to the twelve perfect scores the
Judges awarded special perfect scores
TO the Goodyear tire car and the re-
nair car. They would have made every
control on time had they not been de-
layed while aiding others. The Good
rich car suffered an accident soon after
the start and did not rejoin the party
until the start on the return trip. After
resuming it's place every control was
made on time
The following is the complete list OF
perfect scores:
Walter Sahlland, model S, pilot car.

EIGHT YEARS FOR VIA
Jury Showed Him Clcmcnry Bcrause
He Was Drunk.

sTAUNTON,. VA, january l1.--After
being out about two hours this MORN
Ing the Jury In the trial OF the case
OF the Commonwealth w. John r. Via.
found him guilty OF murder In the
second degree. and fixed his punish
ment at eight years In the penitentiary.
Via shot his wife, Cora L. Via, at their
home In Cralgsville on the night OF
October 18th last. Via had gotten a
jug OF liquor from Staunton that az
ternoon. and the evidence showed that
both had been drinking from It. The
Jury reached the conclusion that he
was drunk when he shot her. and that
1t was not deliberate murder. Law
yers for the defense were uneasy after
the Jury had visited the scene OF the
killing. and feared verdict OF MUIR
der In the first degree. They are we'll
satisfied with the verdict. and say they
will not ask to disturb 1t.
While the verdict was relief to
the prisoner. as he had feared the eS-
ttreme penalty OF the law. he and his
relatives who surrounded him were
much affected, and wept when the YER
dict was announced. The four children
OF the late Mrs. Via have been stay

The eldest child. a daughter OF seven

resignation of E. Benjamin Andrews,

Chancellor Andrews was selected at
a time when the Populists had a ma

was lleralded as party politics because
he was supposed to be in sympathy
With the doctrines of that party and
of w. j. Bryan. He has not been In
sympathy with that clement lately,
and is said to be regarded as a Re-
publican. E5 .1t
Chancellor Andrews has been antag-

the most loyal support from the re-
gents, faculty and students. The tenn
pie fund. donation from John d.
Rockefeller for the building Of "a uni-
versity adjunct, the acceptance OF
