QUALITY

Here's a simple quality test you can
make for yourself: Make a visit to the
secondhand dealers and consult the
automobiles for Sale) columns in the
newspapers and automobile journals. 1t
is obvious that the cars which are
the most difficult to secure and depre-
ciate the least in value are the cars
of quality.
It is difficult to find Pierce ARROWS
or EVENS-DURYEA in the second
hand market. They are not built on
the change acknowledgements plan; they
are not out of date in season.
Apply this test yourself. Measure
the PIERCE ARROW and STEVENS

Holmes, Jr., of this city, formerly associate statisti- can of the department of agriculture, for alleged participation in government crop report leaks.

There were four indictments brought in by the federal grand jury in both cities. All but Price have heretofore been in- dicted under true bills returned here in October, 1905, following the sen sational exposure of the crop report leaks.

Washington, May 2s.-(Special)- rumor that Gen. Luke E. Wright of Ten nessee and former governor of the Phil ippines, may be appointed Secretary of War if Secretary Taft resigned was dis cussed by politicians at the capital today in varying opinions. It must be said that outside of the hard-f fast admins- traton followers there were not many expressions in favor of the suggested ap- pointment. Some of the seasoned old democrats were inclined to snicker in their sleeves at the suggestion that the President could win the electoral vote of any southern state by appointing a southern democrat to his cabinet. Of course no southern democrat in either the House or Senate would object to the selection. On the contrary, all of them would be delighted. They said today that the appointment would be most acceptable to the southern democrats. Sure thing" they said, i've will take anything we can get"

LAFOLLETTE BEGINS.
Senator Demands Roll Calls at Various
 Periods.

Washington, May 29.--It has been a long time since the Senate has been tied up by filibuster with such slender SUD- port as was in evidence today when Sem ator Lafollette undertook to defeat the conference report on the Aldrich-Vree- land currency bill by talking it to death The report being brought up shortly after 1 o'clock, MT. Lafollette took the fcor He insisted that quorum should be maintained at all times, and up to 6 o'clock he had demanded 20 roll calls. He thus was able to obtain more or less re- taxation, and at the same time keep the supporters of the bill in their seats. The heat was excessive, and many were very restless under this restraint. It soon be- came evident that the republicans would have difficulty in maintaining the pres- ence of a majority, and 1t was just as apparent that proceedings would be sus- pended whenever the necessary 47 sena- tors were not present.
 MT. Lafollette complained of his recent illness and during much of the day leaned strongly upon the arm of his chair half sitting as he talked. He engaged MT. Aldrich in a colloquy concerning the pro- visions of the currency bill, and later de- claring that the chairman of the finance committee had not been frank" in his replies. He was called to order and only after a vote of the Senate had restored him to his right to the floor did he con tinue his remarks. All senators except MT. Foraker voted tol permit him to con- tinue.
 Aldrich Declines Offer.

MANY ARE INJURED
 IN CRASH OF CARS
Eight Persons Are Seriously
 Hurt In Montgomery
DASHED DOWN AN INCLINE
Motorman Finds Car Out of His Con- troI and Tells to Those in Front, Which Causes Passengers To
 Jump and Get Hurt

Montgomery, May 29.-Eight persons were seriously injured and a dozen oth- CTS received cuts and bruises as the result of panic on a crowded electric car returning from the ball park, which became manageable and dashed down a steep incline here late today None of those injured are fatally hurt. Seeing that his car had gotten from under his control, the motorman called to the crew of the cars ahead to get out of the way. This so alarmed the passengers that they began jumping off the swiftly nov ing car, many of them sustaining injuries more or less serious. The car was finally stopped at the foot of the hill without accident
 Coming down a steep incline to the east of the Madison avenue trestle, car No. 36 got beyond the control of the motor man and. during the panic which followed among the hundred or more passengers aboard many persons were injured.
 The cars were bringing the crowds of baseball fans to the city and it is GUS tomary in descending the steep hill ap- preaching the trestle over the Central of Georgia railway tracks, near the street car barns, for the cars to come down the hill one at time. Eye-witnesses of the affair this afternoon state that the motorman of car No. 36 was too close to the car ahead, and when it became apparent to the passengers that the car was beyond the control of the man guid- ing it, and while he was shouting to the ab yix +, ,i,,, room, there was a scramble for safety. Men, women and boys piled off the car regardless of their personal safety, and in few moments the roadway was lined with injured persons.
 Victims of the accident were carried to their homes by buggies which were passing at that time. While 1t was evil dent that a score or more received in- iuries, the police only knew of the fol- lowing persons who were seriously hurt:
 Miss Edith Meyers, 519 Montgomery street, bruised and perhaps hurt inter- nally; taken to her home.
 John Mcintyre, dislocated shoulder, taken to St. Margaret's hospital.
 An aged man, rendered unconscious and taken to St. Margarets hospital in se- rious condition.
 A negro boy, badly hurt, reported leg is broken.

GENERAL LUKE WRIGHT
 MAY SUCCEED MR. TAFT

But when it comes to talking about democrats of the south voting a repub- lican ticket, well-er-that is quite an- other thing. They will have to think that over bit. In conversation among themselves the southerners hooted at the Idea of any considerable number of votes south of Mason & Dixons line being caught with any such chafr.
 Many republicans were dissatisfied with the suggestion of Governor Wright's pro- motion to the cabinet. Of course there is precedent for what some republicans called This proposed exhibition of mug wumpery' in the selection of Walter .. Gresham by President Cleveland to be Secretary of State. MT. Gresham had been Just as pronounced a republican ds Governor Wright is a democrat. But that appointment did not endear MT. Cleveland to his party.

Kansas City, Mo-, May @.-Technical legal and administrative questions occu- pied most of the sessions of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States of America today. The routine of this procedure was re- leved somewhat by the preliminary slirmishing of the adherents of Denver and Seattle for next years assembly. The excitement was all in the preliminaries, however, as the assembly voted almost unanimously for Denver on the first ballot and subsequently the vote was made unanimous.

 And, Mir President" said Carmack, 'sWebster says: Especially one in quest of plunder.' Why, MT. President, I am just the opposite. I am seeking to keep the treasury from being plundered."
 Lafollette has not the wit of Carmack but he compels admiration by his un- doubted sincerity. Hardly able to stand in his place. leaving, half sitting on the arm of his chair, the Wisconsin senator is battling for what he believes to be right in a manner calculated to command the respect of the great audience listen ing to him.

Emanuel Cedrino Is Instantly Killed At Baltimore 1. < < .PRACT|C|NG FOR BIG RACE Automobile Turns Somersault After Terrific Dash Over Race Track
 and Cedrino Is Crushed
 Against Post.

Baltimore, May 29.-Emanuel Cedrino, the noted Italian automobilist, was in- stantly killed on Pimlico race track this afternoon. He had been preparing for races in which he was to have taken part tomorrow, and was making some very fast miles. One had just been fin ished In 51 seconds and he had passed the grandstand and rounded the first corner of the track when spectators saw his car shoot into the air and turn an ir- regular somersault, landing on the track upside down.
 Those who rushed to the spot found Cedrino stretched upon his back dead, with horrible gash in the back of his head and portions of his brains scattered about. He was some distance from the car from which he had apparently been thrown as it went over, and it is supposed that his head struck the fence. Dr. Her bert Schoenrich, who was watching the practice spins of the entrants in tomor- rows races, reached Cedrno's side al most before the dust of the accident had cleared away. He found that the oc- cipital bone had been torn out entirely and that a large portion of the brain was also missing.
 The accident appears to have been caused by the collapse of the front wheel on the right hand side of the car. The machine was totally wrecked.
 Cedrino arrived here yesterday and had expressed himself as sure to break the records, from one to 25 miles. Earlier in the afternoon he had made circuit of the mile track in 56 seconds. When he brought out his car for the purpose of final work for the day he said to the pro- motor of the races that he liked the track and that he would make a mile in 50 sec- onds. He made three or four circuits of the track, each faster than the preced- ing one and at the time of the accident was probably going at the rate of a mile In 50 seconds.
 The car was the one in which he has made all of his records, and was de- signed by Cedrino himself in 1906 He stated recently that it had been run over 5000 miles without material repairs and 1t is supposed that the wheel that failed had suffered by this use more than was apparent
 E. Cedrino was an Italian and for number of years before he made his debut in the United States as an eX- pert driver in automobile races was chaf- feur to Queen Helena of Italy. On Au- gust 22 1905, he made a new worlds track record of 53 minutes IA 2-5 seconds for 50 miles at Long Branch. He drove a car in the Vanderbilt cup race in Oc- tober the same year, but was forced to drop out after the second lap, when his machine broke down. He finished second in the Briar Cliff trophy race last month.
 Cedrino was considered to be fearless and skilful driver
