Sticks to Yale Post.
Mr. Taft rode on the train t. New

Yale corporation and to these he de-
clared that he had no intention of re-
signing from the corporation. Mr.
Taft said that he thoroughly enjoyed
his visits to New Haven and that his
associations with the Fellows of the
Corporation We're too pleasant to be
voluntarily laid down and he would re-
main member as long as the alumni
desired
President Taft stated to-day that he
would not make any important diplo-
matte appointments or changes for
three or four months and declared that
reports as to his selections for the va
rious posts would in the mean time be
pure guesswork.
Near an Accident.

with the idea of hiding the background and focusing the
attention of the visitors on the machines themselves. We
believe the scheme of decoration adoped last year was
generally satisfactory and we intend to use it again, with
such notifications and corrections as may be necessary
because of the much greater space we will use. Last year
the stage was not used as an exhibit space, but this year
it will be given over to the accessory men.
Zone thousand extra incandescent lights will be used
IN addition to the regular arc lamps in the hall, and thus,
with the entire arena a blaze of light, the visitors will be
permitted to examine closely every part of the machines.
An effort will be made to accomplish the same effects in
the daytime by having the decorations made of white
bunting and white paint.
"All preliminary work of the show will be finished
by Tuesday. night and the cars will be all in place
Wednesday morning, but the grand opening of the show
is set for Wednesday night, when in a blaze of glory the
doors will be throw open and the general public invited
to enter and see what changes have been wrought in a

year IN the leading commercial enterprise of the times.
Zone of the noticeable features of the Omaha show
is the foresight shown by the Omaha dealers in securing
cars for immediate delivery when sales are made at the
show. Many dealers like to make a sale and then trust
to luck to, be able to get a car for delivery, but not so
with the Omaha dealers, who have had foresight enough
to buy a large supply of cars and to have them on hand
for the show. Thus a buyer may be able to pick out the
identical car he likes and to give it a trial before leaving
for home. ! understand that one dealer has over $lO0,O 900
worth of ears on hand and all the dealers are well sup
piled. L do not mean by this that a man cannot get a
satisfactory car by buying from a model at the show and
then having a duplicate sent, for he can, but / mean that
so many buyers like to buy a car after personal inspec-
ton, which can only be had when the cars are on hand.
Omaha dealers are noted all over the country as a
most progressive set of business men and the coming
show will tend to. emphasize that fact more than any
other one thing

who desire the benzine buggies to show their prospective
customers their land. They are especially valuable for
several reasons, one. of the most important being that it
takes so much less time to take a buyer to a farm and
thus the distance from the city does not seem so great.
''Omaha is also making great strides as an accessory
center, and the reason is most clear. If a man in western
Iowa or in Nebraska breaks some part of his machine or
has some sort of trouble he wants it repaired in the least
possible time. This can be done by sending to the nearest
point where it may be obtained, which for this surround
ing country is Omaha. An accessory may be had at least
three days earlier by sending to Omaha than by sending
to Chicago and the owners machine is out of commission
just that much shorter time.
1.-THE growing magnitude of the automobile business
in the middle west may be cleaned from a statement
which was made to me by one of my travelling men. He
said that in all his travels it was now almost impossible

section of the country know the farmer is the most pros
porous individual in the entire country. When he has
the splendid crops he has been having for the last few
years and when his corn sells for so cents a bushel and
his wheat for $1.04 a bushel it is little wonder that he
can afford to own an automobile and use this form Of
locomotion when he goes to town or when he takes his
family visiting. The. firms. which have made automo-
biles suitable for the rural trade are the ones doing the
biggest business at the present time, for the sales of cars
to the country trade far ontstrips sales to the city trade
ton through which the train goes one sees automobiles
lined up owned by farmers.
Gland agents all through the west are buying auto
mobiles, and especially is this true this spring, when the
greatest rush for land in the history of the west is ex-
pected. Many of the early buyers who have come to
Omaha this spring for machines have been land agents,
Omaha daily bee., 1909-02-21

'No industry deserves to prosper more than the auto
mobile industry, because the manufacturers of automo-
biles were one class of people who did not stop nor even
hesitate during the recent financial troubles, but went
right ahead advertising and building machines, and now
they deserve to reap the reward of optimism.
"The growth of the Omaha Automobile show is just
about coincident with the growth of the automobile bus
mess in Omaha and the west. We had just six exhibitors
at the first Omaha show and there was considerable emp
tyness on all sides at the show. AT the coming show it
is a different proposition, for the problem has rather
been to find place for the exhibitors who wished to show
and afterward to give these at least half the space they
desired. There is scarcely an exhibitor at the coming
show who is allowed all the space he wants, but we did
the best we could under the circumstances. The directors
had to turn down 1900 in cold cash from prospective
exhibitors because we did not have the space to sell. Last
year we did not use the stage at all and the boxes lined
the side of the arena"

Ben and the Corn exposition. As an advertising feature
for Omaha it takes rank close behind these other semi
public undertakings and assists in the growth of Omaha,
as it brings a splendid class of people from the surround
ing territory to the city gates.
"The people of Omaha should avail themselves of
the opportunity of examining the various makes of cars
and by their attendance show their interest in a business
which has had greater growth and done more for the up
building of the manufacturing industry of the United
States than any other one enterprise in the same length
of time. Automobiles made in America. are to be found
in all parts of the world and America is taking the lead
in automobile manufacturing just as it does in many
other forms of industries. (,
"More money has been placed in circulation by the
manufacture and sale of automobiles in the last three
years than through any other single medium. The rec
ords of sales show that over $~6,O00,000 worth of automo-
biles were sold at the recent New York show, and Chi
cago nearly reached that record.

n o SHOW of selfpropelled vehicles ever held in
the mid west will in any way be able to COM
i pare with the coming automobile show which
opens at the Auditorium Wednesday, - said j.
J. Deright, president of the Omaha Automobile Show as
ISOLATION. 1.-THE show will be most interesting and so
many new features will be shown that it will be full of in
terest not only to owners of automobiles or prospective
owners, but to the general public.
"The coming show will be next in Importance to the
great shows recently held in New York and Chicago,
which were attended by a large number of people from
Omaha. Nearly all the principal makes of cars which
were shown at these shows will be exhibited at Omaha,
together with beautifully polished chassis showing con-
struction in detail of the leading cars. These chassis are
a most interesting feature of the show, as the visitors may
see just how the various engines are constructed and may
thus get a better idea of the different parts of a machine.
"As an attraction to draw visitors to the city the
Omaha Automobile show is surpassed only by Ak-Sar-

IT HE eyes of the middle west will be centered on
Omaha this week, and Omaha will make such a
n showing that will justify it being in the lime
light, in the center of the stage, - said Clarke g.
Powell, member of the special committee in charge of the
Automobile show. Omaha g Importance in the motoring
world from a distributors standpoint is established, and
the coming show, at the Auditorium will prove conclu-
sively the claim that Omaha has taken a front rank as a
= distributing center for the automobile trade of the west.
A roundup of thershow will prove there are more cars
than at any other previous show in the west and also
that the interest in automobiles is on the increase and
that a hard pace is set for. the manufacturers to keep up
with the procession. Although Omaha does not claim to
be a manufacturing center when it comes to automobiles,
it does claim to be the biggest distributing point for all
the side lines of the automobile trade.
''Look at the wonderful field Omaha has back of it
when it comes to. the automobile business. All in this

IT HE coming show will easily be the biggest and
best automobile show ever held in OMAHA said
j. w. D.. Hosford, one of the members of the COM
mittee on arrangements for the coming show.
"It will be the biggest because there will be almost twice
as many exhibits as there were last year and the best be-
cause more time and attention has been given to the de-
tails of the show than ever before. The Omaha show has
a distinctive field of its own and is not trying in any way
to copy after nor rival the eastern shows.
"The interest taken in the Omaha show last year has
encouraged the dealers to put greater effort into the
show, and if the signs of the times can be relied upon the
opening night of the show will have a larger attendance
than has ever turned out for a similar event in Omaha.
1.-The prime object of the show is to stimulate the
trade and to give the people of this section of the country
an opportunity to compare all the various makes of auto
mobiles at one time and at one place without their having
to filter from one Dealers salesroom to another garage.
Decorations at the Auditorium will be SO arranged

AOvENI|STS OBSERVE SABBATH
ALL BUSINESS SuSPENDED FoH
RELIGIOUS SERvIUEs.
No Purpose to Indorse Prohibition
Party, Although Principle
Is Approved.

Shut in from the elements by the
protecting flaps Of their auditorium tent
the Seventh Day Adventists, in gen.
eral. conference. near Takoma, today
observed their Sabbath with quiet re-
ligious services. - -
.All business. sessions were omitted.
Instead were substituted sabbath
school exercises and preaching.
The Adventists Sabbath ends at sun
down this evening. Meanwhile a re-
ligious rest pervades the camp, which
is always all hustle and activity dur
ing the remainder Of the week.
The statement that the conference
was about to go into politics and in
dorse the prohibition party was brand
ed today as erroneous. 1t was ex-
planned by a member Of the conference
that the Seventh Day Adventists Ia
vor prohibition, and always take the
stand for prohibition wherever pos
sible. AS for Joining forces with the
prohibition. party, or any other politi-
cal party. the conference seems set
against 1t.
There was some mention Of indors-
ing the prohibition party in one Of the
committees yesterday. That is as far
it went. as the conference has refused
to deal with the matter.
