MAY TEST NEW LAW
MUCH INTEREST CENTEnED IN AN
 Tf-nACrNG LAW.
Owner of the Two Big Tracks at New Orleans Have Made no Definite
 Plan for the Winter


 New Orleans. La, July z0.-Much in- terest is centered here in the outcome of the so-cal1ed anti-racing law which goes into effect today. The law which was passed at a recent session of the legislature after . spirited fight prohib- its book-making. betting or gambling in any form on horse races.
 The races at the track of the Louf- siana driving club were discontinued Saturday. but the interest lies princi- pally in the effect of ahe law on the long racing season which has been a feature every winter in New Orleans for over a century. Ne definite plans have yet been made by the owners of the two big racing places here, City Park track, and the fairgrounds track but 1t is probable that 1t will be ar- ranged to hold short meets at both of the tracks during the coming winter and the law may be given test.

Then. too. the many thousands of dollars necessary to transport the troops to Chattanooga and back to Alabama would be saved to the State Treasury. which is in no healthy con. dition at this time. Such a prospect would be disappointing to the railroad passenger officials who have contract ed for the trip. but it is barely pos sible that such a thing may happen. The chances grow for this eventuality with no improvement in the strikers situations.
 Dozens of boxes of equipment fresh from the War Department in Wash ington arrived in Montgomery yester- day. They would have been taken in bulk to Chattanooga had not the trip been postponed. As 1t is, there will be ample time for the hats. leggings. shirts and aceoutrements to be parceled out among the men needing them prior to the start for encampment.

Taft the Real Thing.

(Richard Hooker, Washington Corre-
 spondent Springfield Republican,
 Washington correspondents. most of whom have seen administrations and public officials come and go for years. have little reverence for the mere hold CT of office Whether their Judgments on other matters are right or wrong, there is probably no body of men who detect more quickly or who ridicuie more mercilessly among themselves the shams and the poseurs, of whom Washington has always had most abundant supply.
 The statement that no man in pub lie life in Washington to-day is held in such personal esteem s Secretary Taft by the newspaper guild has there fore peculiar value. In his case familiarity has bred a respect and ad- mira ton such as no other public ser want has won in many years. Those who have had opportunity to study him 'behind the scenes have suffered no disbursements: they have made no discovery of any stage play that did not square with the mans real convic- tions CT sympathies. They have found frank and conscientious public ser want. honestly striving to do his duty and willing if need be to risk criticism in accomplishing public good. If they could wrte all they know of the man the result would be o,make him stand before the public a bigger, not small CT, figure.

A WONDERFUL CIOCK

Far out on the prairies in the south- western part of Chicago, hidden by rude boarding of frame house, ranks among the most remarkable achievements of the clockmakers art in America. It is one of the most ac- complished clocks in the world. a lin cal descendant of the famous old world clock of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Ii Is a bit of me- dievai romanticism. a survival of the days when the workman created for the love of his creature. and not en- itirely for the practical value of the object which he made So writes Anna Hard in the Technical World Maga- zine for March
 Thousands of travellers have made g pilgrimage to see the famous clock of Strassburg. which set in a com manding position. and beautifully dec orated. represents the passage of time in minutes, hours. seconds. months. days. weeks. and years. and has won derful automata, who bow and open doors and bells that ring and a cock that crows

FAMOUS HORSE MARKET GONE.
Original of Rosa Bonheur's ''Horse
 Fair No Longer Exists.

The famous old horse market in the Boulevard de FHopital in Paris, where Rosa Bonheur used to plod about In mans attire with pencil and sketch book, has ceased to exist. No one who loves horses will regret it, says the Vegetarian, for it represented the acme of equine discomfort
 The new horse market in the Rue Rrancion, which was inaugurated re- gently is a model of it's kind. It com prises stables and sheds sufficient to shelter 800 horses, more comfortable than most of the poor beasts which come to it have ever known.
 It includes an abattoir, where horses that are injured or otherwise rendered unfit for service will be turned into butchers meat About 5000 horses are slaughtered for food In Paris every year, and the number is on the increase, so the need of special abat- toir, well organized and closely in- spected, has long been felt.
 The market and abattoir were built by private company, which will turn the property over to the city at the end of seventy years.

 preston.

REASONS FOR SEPARATE SHOW
Why Stoddard-Dayton and Maxwell
 Cars Will be at Athcneum.

tFrom Journal-Courier, March 16.)
 A glance at the reading and the
 cut in the Central Auto companys
 announcement in to-day's issue im- r presses one rather facetiously; but
 talk with Harry Futile. the sec
 retary and manager, enables one 10
 read between the lines some inter-
 esting facts
 To go back. a little, this is the
 third year this firm has handled
 the Stoddard Dayton and Maxwell
 autos, having the agency for New
 Haven and Litchfeld counties.
 During that time 1t is claimed that
 there have been more MaXwells sold
 in this territory than any other
 two makes. Up to this year the
 firm has not been warranted in ad-
 vertising or displaying these two
 cars, because its entire allotment
 has been sold virtually before the
 riding season commenced.
 This year both factories have in- creased their output-the Stoddard- Dayton has doubled theirs, and the
 Maxwell's capacity has been in- creased from 3,5O0 to 12.0O0 cars.
 That the parties to whom these
 autos have been sold by the local firm are enthusiastic in their praise of the machines is a well-known fact, and the firm felt that in dis play at the auto show 1t wanted one of the best or none at all. When 1t came to securing ample space in Music hall 1t was not available of the main floor, and
 space in the basement did not ap- peal.
 Fortunately two stores on the main floor of the Steinert building on Court street, only a few doors west of Music hall, were obtainable. giving the firm a floor space of over 2.a00 square feet It meant consider ble additional expense in fitting up and giving due publicity to the sep arate exhibits, but the firm felt that the users of these two machines wanted fine display-1n fact, many Of them had said so-and the firm has tried 10 make it such, both in space, in full line of cars shown and in the decorations, floral and otherwise
 The firm hopes that those who visit the auto show will realize the efforts fl has put forth. will honor it with a visit. and will feel amply repaid when they call.

HOW THEY GOT THE CARS.
What the Stoddard- Dayton People
 Seek in Representatives.

Seek in Representatives.
 Qnterview With the Manager.)
 Three years ago when Harry Tut tie, secretary and manager of the Central Auto Co. (and he had al- ready had written application in there a year) made a second appli- cation for the agency for the Stod- dard-Dayton autos he found that four other dealers were writing and telegraphing for the appointment as fast as they could spread ink.
 Learning that this was the situa- ton of affairs he immediately packed his grip. boarded the train and was off for Dayton, Ohio.
 When closeted with C. c. Stod- dard, vice-president and general manager of the Stoddard Dayton factory he started In to explain why he was in position to sell more cars than the 'ether fellers." Mr. Stoddard's hand went up immedi- ately and he said to Mr Futile: We are building a car of sufficient compelling merit to bring orders to us faster than We can fill them He then went on to explain that in selecting their representatives throughout the country it was not so much a matter of how many cars a representative could sell as his willingness and ability to give his customers the proper care anc attention after the cars were sold. The two requirements they adhered to most strongly were the absolute maintenance of prices and the proper care and attention to cus- toners after they bought.
 It was the absolute demonstra- ton of the Central Auto Co.'S ad- herence to these features in their dealings with their Maxwell GUS toners flor they were then repre- sentatives of the Maxwell autos) that induced the Stoddard-Dayton people to intrust their cars to this company as their agents. Every Maxwell buyer knew that he bought his car as cheap as any other buyer-the books and records proved it. Every Maxwell owner realized that his interest was as much at the heart of the company as it's own. Their enthusiasm in the car and for the treatment they had received put them in readi- ness at any time to stand by the company and further it's efforts.
