A REMARKABLE
AUTOMOBILE TEST
The Maxwell Car More Than Doubles
Worlds Highest Nonstop
Record.


The worlds nonstop automobile
record has experienced a most sub
stantial boost by the performance of
the thirty horsepower four-cylinder
Maxwell touring car which completed
the scheduled 10000 miles at 42I p.
M on April 18th at Boston.
The run was begun on March 18th
under the auspices of the Bay State
Automobile Association, whose Of
fetal observers accompanied the car
and rendered a full report of the
performance.
The Maxwell car, when it was
stopped by President Speare of the
A. A. A. had covered 10,074 40
miles. the ten-thousandth mile being
completed with Mr.. Charles J. Gid
den as one of the official observers of
the club. During the run which ex-
tended between Boston and Worces-
ter, Providence, Newburyport, Ma
shua, Falmouth and South Framing
ham. the motor was never stopped
The drivers, c. E. Goldthwaite, Ar
thur See and Ellery Wright worked
in eight-hour shifts. as also did the
observers of the Bay State Automo-
bile Association, Messrs. Joseph
George, Carl F. Lawrence and Adam
Schneider.
The gasoline consumption for the
1914 miles was 679 gallons, giving
an approximate mileage of 14.S per
gallon of fuel
In more than doubling the worlds
highest mark for nonstop running
the Maxwell throws an interesting
light upon the possibilities of individ-
ual transportation.
After the conclusion of the run the
Maxwell car was given into the Gus
tody of the Massachusetts Technolog-
ical Institute, whose head, Professor
Park, has charge of a committee of
four technical men who will dissem-
bic the car and render an exhaustive
report on the wear which has become
evident in the various parts of the
carr mechanism The committee in
taking charge of the car made it as
cend Boston's steepest incline. Corey

Tuesday morning Of this week
that the fifth division of the bank
ruptcy court, for the Twelfth

tinued, having been consolidated
with the third division with head
quarters at Pueblo. This action
was taken owing to the fact that
the district did not furnish enough

FIRST DEFEAT OF INSURGENTS

"The Sixth District of Chicago
was the first battle ground in the
insurgent fight said Judge Lacey,
at the Riggs House last night.
"They started in there to make
their fight against Taft, Cannon
and Aldrich, but the weakness of
their cause was demonstrated when
Mr.. Monkey got as many votes as
the Democratic candidate and the
Republican insurgent combined.
The insurgents made an attack not
only upon Cannon, but also upon
the administration and the Tariff
law. 1t was the first fight, but
the defeat of the insurgent cause
is not marker to what will happen
to them next year. When the in
surgents attempt to take Iowa and
run it as little insurgent BALI
wick they will not know they are
in it. Taft is making good and
the Tariff bill is making good, and
the Republicans of Iowa are salts
fed with the Republican party
If Monkey had been beaten in
Chicago, the insurgents would
have been so set up that they
would Immediately have started an
organization. | should like to
know what some of my political
neighbors in Iowa have to say
about the result in Chicago. 1t
would be very interesting.-Wash-
ington Post"
The straw ballot taken by the
Success Magazine tells different
story. This BALLOT shows Iowa
and Wisconsin almost solid with
the Insurgents.

ELEPHANT BUTTE DAM

For the third time, the supreme
court of the United States decided
Monday against the Rio Grande
Dam and Irrigation company. The
decision was in favor of the gov
eminent and declares forfeited the
company's charter, because it had
not complied with the law require
ments in construction work.
The case involved the right of
the company to construct dam
for irrigation purposes across the
Rio Grande River at Elephant
Butte, N. NJ, where it was it's de-
clared intention of creating the
largest artificial irrigation lake in
the world. The government
brought the suit to prohibit the
improvement on the ground that
it would interfere with the treaty
rights between the United States
and Mexico and also that it would
obstruct the navigation of the Rio
Grande, which it was declared was
practicable all the way up the
stream to La lara, and 100 miles
above the proposed dam.
The worlds crop of oats leads
that of corn by a quarter billion
bushels, exceeds the production of
wheat by nearly four hundred
million bushels, is nearly three
times as great rs the production of
barley, and more than double the
yield of rye.
