SAYS ANTITRUST LAWS
ARE PUZZLE TO EXPERTS
Wade H. Ellis Wants Congress to
Straighten Out Tangles in
Recent Legislation

WASHINGTON, Oct. H.-Declaring
the anti-t trust law to be so difficult of
comprehension as to puzzle even ex-
perts. Wade e. Ellis, assistant at
torney general of the United States,
told the delegates to the Carriage
Builders National association tonight
that they should appoint a committee
to labor with congress to have the
law clarified.
Mr.. Ellis declared the United States
to be the greatest commercial nation
in the world. He said that out of 25,-
900 laws enacted by congress, 22,00c
dealt either directly or indirectly with
commerce, transportation or trade.
He said that while a vast majority
of the laws pertained to and affected
business, 81 per cent of the member
ship of the two houses of congress
was lawyers.
Don't complain of the laws" he
said, "unless you take some part in
the making of them"
He called attention to the fact that
two important bits of legislation be-
fore congress at the coming session
would be amendments to the interstate
commerce law and the antitrust law
He urged the association, the mem
bership of which represents $100,00O,000
investment of capital, to appoint
committee to assist congress to solving
the two questions.

NEW YORK ClTY'S IMMENSE
TRAFFIC IN AUTOMOBILES
10000 Persons Ride Daily In Some
Type of Motor Car, and Good
Roads Are Agltated Thereby

To prove that many thousands of
New Workers, not necessarily owners
of automobiles, are interested in the
good roads problem, General John T..
Cutting of the Oldsmobile company
has compiled some interesting figures
regarding the use of the self-driven
car in the metropolis.
There are approximately in daily
use in Greater New York 10000 pri-
vately owned automobiles" says Cen
eral Cutting. Figured on a gross
population of 100000 people this
means approximately one automobile
to every 1876 inhabitants. In addition,
there are 900 taxicabs in daily use
during the. summer season and 1909
during the winter season.
"Now these 10000 private cars carry
on an average five persons a day,
which means a gross aggregate of $780,
900 passengers. The taxicab people say
their vehicles in New York average
fifteen calls a day, carrying two per-
sons to each call, which means 10000
passengers, or a gross total of 10000
people day transported by automo-
biles in New York city. Surely then,
the public is largely interested in the
local good roads question from a per-
sonal rapid transit point of view.
"State aid for good roads does not
apply to build UP cities and towns so
all our city efforts must, of course,
be purely local from the financial point
of view. Only the other day the
supervisors of Nassau county sug-
gested to the Suffolk county super
visors, both of these counties being
on Long Island, that they would do
well to take care of their own state
built roads. as they do in Nassau
county rather than rely upon main
tenance by the state"

GUGGENHEIM CASE
STOPPED BY JUDGE
Chicago Jurlst Declares That the Wife
of the SmeIter King Has
Produced No Legal
Precedent

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-The suit seeking
annulment of the divorce granted
Grace B. Guggenheim from William
Guggenheim eight years ago in Chi
cago closed abruptly here today, when
Judge Honore indefinitely postponed
the hearing.
When Judge Dunno in 1901 granted
the divorce Mrs. Guggenheim's testi-
mony showed she was a resident of IL
linois. Mrs. Guggenheim claims re-
Gently to have discovered her testi-
mony was in error on this point. The
matter was laid before Mr.. Dunno,
who is no longer on the bench, and he,
declaring that fraud had been prac-
ticed. filed a petition for the annul-
ment of the divorce.
Not a precedent was to be found.
After arguments had continued for
three days Judge Honore observed
that they were getting nowhere.
Judge Honore stated that Mrs. Gug-
genheim's only remaining recourse was
to file a bill herself alleging that she
obtained her divorce by fraud.

CHEVROLET USED BUT ONE
SET OF MICHELIN TIRES
Driver Never Stopped In Big Event,
and His Tires Carried Him to a
Victorious Finish

When Louis Chevrolet drove Buick
car over the Riverhead- -Mittituck cir
cult on Long Island, N. Y, at an aver
age speed of seventy miles an hour he
esta ablished a new worlds long dis
tance speed record and won easily in
his class.
Chevrolet never stopped during the
entire contest, one set Of Michelin tires
carrying him to his victorious finish.
He used anti-skid tires on his rear
wheels, as the course was slippery
during the first hour, due to three days
of light rain that preceded the day of
the races. Anti-skid tires are covered
on the tread with oxhide in which steel
studs are imbedded, thus preventing
skidding, without destroying the neces-
sary resiliency and aiding rather than
impeding high speed.
Chevrolet Is a heavy set, smiling Al
satan. He came to this country seven
or eight years ago as an employe or the
De Dion Bouton Motorette company,
which at that time was building light
De Dion cars in Brooklyn. When the
De Dion company went out of business
Chevrolet went back to France and
later returned with the italian Fiat
people when the original agency of
Hollender & Tageman was first opened
in New York.
Chevrolet has now become one OF the
worlds best known drivers. He drives
with his head as well as his hands.
In the heavy stock car contest at
Riverhead, Ralph de Palma finished
first in his Fiat car, with Disbrow sec
ond in a Rainier, and Lund, in another
Rainier, third. All were equipped with
Michelin tires. Only two Michelins
we're changed throughout the entire Sc
ries of races, which included five differ-
ent classes and totaled 65s miles. These
two changes we're made necessary by
punctures caused by horseshoe nails.
There were no blowouts or other tire
troubles,

EARTHQUAKES ARE FELT =
ON SLOPE OF MT. ETNA
VesuVlus Is Again In Violent Eruption
and Severe Temblors Are
Recorded

CATANIA, Sicily, Oct. 21.-Several
strong earthquake shocks were felt to-
day. They were more pronounced at
Aciroale, on the slope of Mount Etna
The people at this place. alarmed by
the first shocks, rushed out of their
houses and camped.
Ten houses fell in the outskirts of
Aciroale, but only one person was
killed. The victim had refused to
abandon his house.
1t was among those thrown down by
the later heavier shocks, and he was
burned in the wreckage The walls of
many houses were cracked.
The whole mountain region was Sc
verely shaken.
Mount Vesuvius is again very ac-
tive. Quantities of ashes were thrown
up today, falling inside the crater. The
election was preceded and accom-
panied by detonations. This is con-
sidered the most serious eruption of
Mount Vesuvius since 1906.

Deputy Attorney General Denounces
So-Called Combine, Which He
Says Charles w. Morse
Originated
[Bx Associated Press. ]

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Prosecution Of
the American Ice company, the largest
dealer in ice in the world, for alleged
violation of the state anti-monopoly
law, was begun in the criminal branch
of the supreme court today.
Deputy Attorney General Roger Clark
declared that everything short of phys
ical violence which the diabolical in
genuity of man could invent was en-
ployed by this corporation to build up
a monopoly of the ice business"
He said the American Ice company
had repeatedly refused to harvest Ice
In it's Maine fields in order to create a
scarcity of ice and to raise prices.
The idea for the organization of the
combine, he continued, originated with
Charles W. Morse.
John r. Bennett, one of the incor-
porators, was called as the first wit
ness.
He admitted that out of the $4O,000,00O
capitalization of the American Ice COM
pany 500 100000 had been exchanged
share for share for stock in the Knick-
erbocker and Consolidated Ice COM
panies and about $19,000,000 for other
ice companies property

RsooanIzed Speed MarveIs

OF all the automobiles produced in
the world which have become recog-
nized speed marvels, the Buick "4O' is
probably the most wonderful ever
known. Never since the inception of
the automobile has one make of ma
chine been so uniformly victorious in
contests where the contenders were
the greatest and most powerful space
annihilators that could be contrived by
modern ingenuity and skill. Former
world records have been lowered and
Recovered by the drivers at the wheels
of Buick cars, and nearly every big
trophy of the season has fallen into
the Buick net. It's latest sensational
performance was in the Long Island
automobile Derby, when the intrepid
Chevrolet covered the 11375-mile
course in 81 minutes and 36 seconds,
or an average of slightly in excess of
seventy miles an hour, the greatest
speed ever maintained for any dis
tance on an American road.
