q. Watson French Seeks to
Have Sale Set Aside

In the trial of an action by G. Wat
son French against Lloyd NJ Robbins, a
lawyer; Henry C. Stillwell, the Inter
national banking company and others,
in Judge Graham's court, for the re-
turn of stock worth $4,000 or $1,000,
alleged to have been wrongfully sold,
letter was introduced yesterday re-
viving a formal complaint made to the
San Francisco bar association in 1907
by Thomas H. Breeze and Lloyd NJ.
Robbins that Garret McEnerney had
untruthfully charged them with con-
spiracy.
Lloyd was made the trustee of the
stock involved in the present case. He
sold it because French, as it was
claimed, failed to make good an indebt-
edness of $4,000. due the International
banking corporation. McEnerney, rep
resenting Herman Eppinger Jr., who
claimed that he also had an interest
in the stock, filed an action against
Attorneys Breeze & Lloyd and others,
alleging that the lawyers conspired
with William II. High, the manager of
the bank; A. 3. Bowers and Stillwell
to defraud Epping-r by selling the
stock without notice TO him. The let
ter of Robbins & Breeze to the bar
association denying the truth of this
allegation and demanding an investiga-
tion was introduced as testimony
In the suit now on trial it has trans
pired that French, the plaintiff, had
previously given Robbins credit for
$4,000, and he claims Robbins should
have drawn upon him for $4,000 to
meet the sum due the bank on the
shares. This would have saved them
from being sold Cor delinquency.
French obtained his interest in the
stock by loaning Stillwell $4,000, TAX
ing shares in the American magnesite
company and the Stillwell coal COM
pany as security.

RECORD OF MOTOR
CARS IN FRANCE
Paris a Long Way Ahead of Any
Other City in Number of
&ot Automobiles
Island of Corsica Boasts of a
Single Dozen of Enthusi=
astic Owners
By r. R. L'HOMMEDIEU

France possesses total of nearly
$4,000 automobiles in active service.
The number appears small compared
with the $4,000 said to exist in Eng
land, but from this latter figure a con-
siderable deduction should be made for
double declaration of ownership. Paris
is responsible for $500 automobiles, and
in this respect is long way ahead of
any other city in France. The rest of
the department. of the Seine has 1000,
and is followed by the Rhone district,
comprising the manufacturing city of
Lyons, with 1850 autos. Corsica is at
the end of the list, with only II auto

into existence and
for several years
thereafter, and known in the automo-
bile industry as one of the best of
automobile engineers, has just pur-
chased Chalmers-Detroit 80 for his
own use.
In view of Tracey's long experience
in the automobile business and his ex-
troit officials feel highly pleased over
this sale.
There is story back of Tracey's
said E. p Brinegar, local dealer for
the Chalmers Detroit cars, yesterday:
AT the time Carl II. Page & Co.
of New York was considering taking
the exclusive agency for Chalmers
Detroit cars for the metropolitan dis
trict, Page retained Joe Tracey to go
to Detroit and make such tests of a
Chalmers Detroit 30-then new model
-as would enable him to advise as to
whether Carl II. Page & Co. would be
justified in putting nearly million
dollars into the agency and handling
these cars exclusively.
Tracey went to Detroit, took one of
the new sos and for several hours sub
jected it to the most trying test which
perhaps any automobile ever had under
similar circumstances. He says him
to break the car down except running
1T into ditch at high speed. He ran
1T at low speed for miles, trying to
overhead the motor. He made it climb
hills and go through heavy sand on
high. He put on the emergency brakes
and drove for long ways with the
wheels nearly locked, trying to burn
up the brakes or the motor. On the
strength of his report Carl H. Page
e. Co took the agency and. as every
one in the trade knows, has had a
tremendous success in New York.
Tracey has always claimed that he
was the first real discoverer of the
Chalmers Detroit 80 and always dis
played marked fancy for the car
