Gas, escaping from a baseburner
through hole in the mica, caused the
death OF Miss Bertha Maria Sophia
Loeffier, aged 40 years, In her home
at No. 2S4 Catherine-st., where she and
her sister, Miss Minnie Loeffier. lived
alone. The latter narrowly escaped
death by the same means.
Miss Loeffler's death occurred Sun
day, but the circumstances surround

until Wednesday morning. when the
death certificate was filed with the
board OF health. The funeral was held
from the residence Wednesday after
noon. and interment was In the fam

2 INFRINGEMENT
ALLEGES HIS RIGHTS TO FINAL
DRIVE HAVE BEEN IMPOSED
UPON AND BATTLE OF MIL.
LIONS is PROMISED.

Henry Ford. president of the Ford
Motor company. has notified several
manufacturers OF his intention TO
bring suit unless certain infringe
ments on the well-known final drive
we're stopped. The result is more ex-
element among car manufacturers
than they have known since the early
days OF the Selden suit.
Since 1903. one after another manu-
facturer has recognized and adopted
this feature. ignoring Henry Ford 5
patent rights. Fifteen or twenty OF
the most prominent automobile manu-
facturers or the country are now said
10 be infringing this patent, and while
no names are TO be mentioned prior
10 the starting OF suit, 1t is known
that the interested parties are among
the big manufacturers or the INDUS
try. several of the interested manu-
facturers having factories In Detroit.
The patent which Mr.. Ford alleges
is being infringed upon Is United
States Letters patent No. 74I,sO9,
which briefly covers the following:
An enclosed transmission casing to
which is joined hollow forward reach
tube. enclosing the drive shaft. The
drive shaft Is connected TO the engine
shaft by means of single universal
Joint. Coincident with the universal
Joint. is the ball joint which connects
the forward reach afore mentioned
with the frame.
This peculiar drive removes from
the frame all shock or torsion OF the
wheels due to irregularlty in the road
while claim is made that every method
Of drive not infringing on this patent
transmits a large amount or the strain
directly 10 the frame.
Mr.. Ford promises fight To enforce
his patent rights in this matter and
those who have followed the history
OF his fight against the Selden patent
realize how Mr.. Ford can fight when
he gets started. The progress OF the
matter Is sure to be followed with con
siderable interest for the patent is a
basic one and the alleged infringers
have millions TO match Ford's mil
lions

den folks to a standstill, and we have
time to fix up our own fences. which

LOCAL OPTION AND THE NEGRO

From many standpoints. the
Negro should vote with the local
optionists next spring, should
that measure come before the
voters. Public sentiment h S
been so aroused against the Me-
gro for the past year that it has
been almost impossible for a Ne.
gro to buy license to conduct a
saloon, the most degrading legit.
innate business afforded by this
proud municipality, in his own
name. He must make applica
ton through some white man,
regardless of that white mans
standing in the community. Be
he tramp, sot, cocaine or opium
fend, he is better than you, Mr..
Negro, and you need not apply.
This should to be resented.
On the other hand. if the best
class of whites see the detriment-
al effects of the liquor traffic.
upon this commonwealth, the
Jest class of Negroes are none
the less dense in his comprehen.
siveness of the moral decadence
that this demon traffic will bring
about. The Negro is not a de.
generate and those who know
him best will attest this fact.
Just as the proud white race has
it's kleptomaniacs, its shoplifters,
its defaulting bankers, it's diver.
sifed nondescripts, stepped in
crime of deepest dye, so has the
Negro his crap shooter. etc.
Let the Springfield Negro look
the local option question square
in the face, if he does this and is
then guided by his conscience,
we have no fear of the result. =
