Attacks Tawncy's Statement.
Mr.. Fitzgerald. OF New York, attack
ed what he said WAS Chairman Taw-
ney's .'ro seatc statement regarding
year. The people. Mr.. Fitzgerald said.
would not get as much comfort out OF
1t as Mr.. Tawney and his associates
had anticipated. He argued that at
the present time there was an appar.
ent deficit OF $S5,00O,000. and Inquired
what prospect there was that condi-
tions would improve. The Industrial
condition was not improving, he de-
clared. because great numbers Of men
were being laid off from work. If the
Roosevelt policies are cort' and
there is tariff revision after election
he asked how the problem was to be-
worked out.
The conduct of the administration
and particularly that OF the Secretary
of the Treasury In Connection with the
recent financial stringency was con-
demned by Mr.. Johnson. Of South Car
ollna. At that time, he said. with
an abundance OF money In the treas
ury. with millions OF dollars Of the
the country without interest. the In
terest-bearng debt OF the people had
been Increased In violation OF law.
Mr.. Johnson attackeds the Panama
bond issue. and declared that the
money did not go for the purpose OF
construction OF the canal.
Mr.. Tawney took issue with him and
said it was the duty Of the secre-
Itary to issue bonds for the reason that
expenditures already made exceeded
by almost $50 100000 the amount OF
the proceeds OF the previous bond sale.
All amendment by Mr.. Davenport. OF
Oklahoma, calling for an appropria-
ton OF $2a5,0oo to defray the eS-
penses OF the election and the holding
Of the Constitutional Convention in
that State, met with opposition BY Mr..
Tawney and several other Republicans,

TEN CARS PER HOUR
IS THE FORD OUTPUT
Record Time Set for Assembling
Auto-Demonsrates Absolute
Interchangeabilitv of Parts.


DETROIT, Mich, June IA marty OF
out-Of-town men were being shown
through the factory Of the Ford Motor
Company recently. by Master Mechanic
wits, and as, they went through the
assembling department, one of them
asked how long it required 10 assemble
car.
Never timed it, but will show you
how fast It can be done" Calling the
foreman, Mr. Wills Instructed him TO
build car from the ground up as
quickly as possible.
Picking a man for each operation, the
start was made at 4.s0. One group of
men assembled the frame; another got
the wheels and tires: then the engine,
the transmission, and the dinerential
were mounted. the radiator placed in
position, the body bolted down. the coil
placed, the oiler and gasolene tank fill
ed, and the car started. Time, "A min

II was convincing demonstration OF
the absolute uniformity and inter

had not slipped into place, no such dime
could have been made.
The average time per car required 90

as ten cars an hour are turned out ev-

Easy on Tires.


Z am pleased beyond measure at the
almost marvellous results achieved by
the Ford roadster. The contest de-
veIoped absolutely no defects. there were
no tire troubles. the tires, in fact.
being in such good condition that fire
moved from the car they could I've sold
for new. showing only a slight shop
wear. possibly. Not bad cut even in
any of the tires, there was absolutely
not a screw loose. or the slightest eyi-
dence u any defect in any part OF the
car. and we assert that this cannot be
said Of any car which entered the race.
SO sure were we from past experiences,
that I carried not even one extra tire
many Of the contestants carrying two
or three. I attribute this lack OF tire
trouble To the feXibiity OF the Ford
car, its Ightness, smooth running four
! cylinder engine, the full eliptical
springs. and in part to the make Of
tires used.
Big Boost for Business.
7 am pleased TO state that as the
result OF the races, we have been book
! ing orders for this particular model
But the best feature is the knowledge
of the excellence Of the Ford car, which
| even TO me has been a revelation. To
| know that If through nay own negli-
gence my engine had not stopped for
] ten seconds. I should have come through
such trying ordeal with a perfect score,
at the speed maintained throughout
with engine running necessarily. and
wretched condition Of roads IN certain
places. Is most gratifying.

FORD FOLK PROUD
OF THEIR STUNT.
MIR. Miller Discusses Road
Ster's Performance in
Big Run.

Charles E. Miller. OF Miller Bros,
agents for the Ford automobiles in
Washington, who drove a Ford, Model
8. roadster in The Times reliability run
on June 8. 1905. is decidedly well pleased
with the advantages he derived from
the contest. and says his trade has al
ready been benefited by the splendid
showing OF the stock car used for dem
onstratrs purposes, in which he tied
for first place. Speaking yesterday of
the contest, he made the following
statement:
THE endurance run, which covered
164 miles, has proven most satisfactory
10 me, demonstrating the capabilities of
a small, light runabout TO negotiate the
worst kind OF roads in certain sections,
These runs are especially desirable FOR
educational purposes, showing the weak
parts of the automobile, which the
keen manufacturer viii at once remedy.
It also clearly shows by comparison the
advantages and disadvantages of the
light runabouts when competing with
large touring cars over bad. billy roads,
in economy Of tire consumption. gasO-
lene consumption, and possibility Of
breakage OF parts.
Averages Twenty Miles Per Hour.
