Dilley and the Dilley Foundry Company, in which the plaintiff sought {" recover $S,0OO alleged to be due that institution on unpaid promissory notes, executed by r. l.. Dilley. Judge \. F. Grace. in the Jefferson circuit court late yesterday afternoon gave peremptofy instructions to the jury to bring in a verdict for the defend ants. Lack of proof to sustain the contentious of the banking institution that F. l.. Dilley exceeded his author lty III signing the name of the Dilley foundrN Company to the notes. prompted Judge Grace to make inc ruling. The learned iurist held that the money obtained by Dilley was not used for the Dilley Foundry Company and that his acts in endorsing tha name of the foundry company on the accommodation paper were not bind. ing. s,asse n
 In it's petition the Simmons National
 Bank, which holds other papers exe- cuted by Mr. Dilley for the defunct l-eola Lumber Company, agsregating $lo,ooo, states that Dillev secured
 S"'ooo on one promissory note, dated November :, l90S. and $5.000 on an other. dated December 31, 1908. The notes drew 1 per cent interest. and
 were discounted by the National Bank.
 The endorsements were place on
 them by r. l.. Dilley and the names of
 the leola Lumber Company and the )llleN Foundry Company followed that of Mr. DilIey on the back of each paper.
 [ During the hearing of the ease
 President Orto and Cashier .Jo NichoJ. of the Simmons Bank, were called to the witness stand. The records of tho banking institutions were also intro- duced to show that Dilley had se- cured the money, as charged in the petition. F. l.. Dilley and T. E. Flooro also testified. Mr Dilley did not deny securing the money from the bank. He stated that he thought he had author lty to endorse the accommodation paper as he had done. Attorney F. q. Bridges, of the firm of Bridges. Wool drldge and Can't, counsel for Dilley. Tn presenting the case to the jury, declared that President Orto and net his client was at fault in that he per- mitted the money to leave the bank without Investigating Dilley's auth or- lty to place the name of the Dilley Fonndry Company on the paper At torneys Young and Powell and White and Alexander represented the plain tiffs.

 DISCUSS BRIDGE Parker Road People Ready to Build it and Others
 Want Time Extended MEET AGAIN MONDAY Judge Gould Says the County Will Not be Rushed Into Contract
 With any Concern.
MEET AGAIN MONDAY

The members Of the Jefferson County Bridge Commission, consisting of County Judge James Gould. W. D. Hearn and Leo. M Andrews, met at the office of Judge Gould here yester- day to receive propositions for the construction of a railroad and a free wagon bridge across the Arkansas river at or near Pine Bluff. No pro- positions were made to the board. but a communication from President " W. Brown, of the Memphis, Paris and Gulf railroad, asking for ninety days time in which to make prepara- ticns to submit q proposition for the building of the bridge, with a view to including Pine Bluff on the route of proposed extension of the Memphis road. North through this county to Memphis was read
 In+-Xe letter it was stated that his constrJction company had not had sui
  the river here or to compile data rel ative to the big iron construction The matter was thoroughly discussed by the commissioners, who finally ad- journed until next Monday. when. it is hoped, President Brown, of the Paris Memphis and Gulf road and President and General Manager J. NJ. Parker, of the Arkansas, Louisiana ant Gulf road will be present.
 The meeting was also attended by Fred Fox, W. N Truock and Secretary J. l.. Caldwell. representing the Board of Trade. In the course of his re- marks Judge Gould declared that he would not permit the county, while he was county judge, to spend one cent for right of-way over bridge, which would be constructed South of Pine Blu, believing that such an attempt would be an impossibility ill view of the fact that the treacherOus Arkan- odS llNeI IS COuliLudl1N cUduSlnS It's course in that part of the county. He also declared that he would weigh the matter of the issuance of warrants s to pay for any bridge privileges fol the county thoroughly before he made any contract with any railroad or con struction company. It mas been sus- gested that the county secure thirty year lease on the proposed bridge at cost of $20,000 per year. Judge Gould said that $600000 is whole lot of money and especially when it meant practically a loss of the county's cred it. He asserted that he would, in his official capacity as county judge. and not only as a bridge commissioner take no action that would not be for the benefit of Jefferson county and

 Commissioner Hearn explained Mr. parkef's absence and the absence of any proposition frmo his company for the construction of the bridge, by the statement that he was detained in Chi ea&o al present, principally on busi- nesS connected with the bridge com pany that is being formed to finance the railroad and wagon bridge here, and which is to be used bv the Parker road and any other railroad that might come this way and demand passage over the river at this point Mr. Parker has announced that the Parker road would be built from Ham, burg. North to either DHNalls Bluff. Mesa CT fIazen. This is an assured fact. Ii bonus money of $loo.ooo hay ing already been raised by Pine Bluff b1,yiness men, and the terminals, de- pot site and right -of-way through the city and county assured.
 The extension of the Memphis, Paris and Gulf road was unheard of until af- ter the Parker road matter had been settled. At conference held some weeks ago J. s. Warren. of Memphis; President Brown, of the M P. X G., road: W. K. Ramsey, of Camden, and vice president of the same line, asked for four months in which to grant them time in which to submit a pro position to build the bridge This was denied by the commission. Now they ask for thre months delay. Their re- quest was opposed by Commissioner Hearn on the ground that Mir. Parker and his associates are ready to make a proposition to build the bridge and at the same time build the Parker road from Hamburg through Pine Bluff to d delay was dangerous and that if even three months time was granted,
 
 plans of the Parker road people, which are practically perfected. As bridge of this county Mr. Hearn declared that he was for the best interests of .Iet- ferson county and it's people and that he believed the Parker road people and the North and South railroad pro who have joined hands and settled all differences. should be giveE- the preference and especially so when Mr. Parker and his associates have their plans all arranged fer the con- struction Of the railroad and the bridge
 Dr. Caldwell took issue with Mir IIearn. declaring that he was acting in an official capacity as secretary of the Board of Trade: that if this county could secure two railroads it would be better than enc. He beleiyeS the opportunity is at hand where Pine Puff can secure both roads. The in tilnation was made that the Paris Memphis and Gulf road was not as sured unless the contract for the rail- road and free bridge went with it.
 Commissioner Andrews had little to say on the matter, asserting that he believed that some definite action should be taken to settle the bridge matter. He believed that Judge Gould would act for the best interests of Jefferson county and Mr. Hearn, also
 It seems that the Paris, Memphis and Gulf people are more than anXi- ous to secure the bridge contract with the county, which is practically as sured the Parker road people. ii they will build the bridge. It looks as if there will be a scramble beween the two companies for the railroad wagon bridge here.

TIRE EXPENSE NOW
SERIOUS PROBLEM
High Price of Rubber Causes
Owners of Motor Cars Com
siderable Thought
Eastern Enthusiasts Have a
Scheme to Lengthen Life
of Their Equipment
By R. R. L,HoMMED1EU

The report of the shortage in the
rubber market, which is a serious
thing to the automobile owner, has
automobile trade, stop and consider.
There is now question that the price of
tires will be advanced. This will mean
an increase in the upkeep of the auto
mobile, but this can be counteracted by
the average owner of an automobile,
especially those who hire chauffeur
The average chauffeur thinks the least
of his tires of any part of his motor
car. If he does not get the mileage for
the make of the. tire he blames it to
poor product and advocates a change,
which in some cases means an extra
bit of money TO the chauffeur, paid as
a commission on the change over.
If the owner of a motor car will take
the time to thoroughly investigate his
tire bills, the causes of repairs and re-
newals, he may find that his tires will
travel more than the mileage claimed
for them. There is not a make of tire
on the market at the present time, that
is, the standard makes, but that will
do more than the mileage claimed for
them. This is best proved by the rec
ords of the mileage done on cars that
have been driven by the owners. There
Is not tire agency in the city that
can not give testimonials of long mile
age on their tires. In practically
every case the record has been made
on car that has been driven by it's
owner.
There is no reason why if one or
more long mileage records are made
on any particular make of tire such
records should not be duplicated on
tires that are on the same make of
cars. This fact was forcibly demon
strated in a Vanderbilt cup race when
two cars of the same make were racing
in the elimination trials. One car used
13 tires, while the other used five. This
fact is the solution to a great deal of
the excessive tire expense.
In the east some of the older and
more experienced owners who have
tried to battle with the petty graft of
commissions to chauffeurs have hit
upon plan to Offset this annoyance
They have offered a bonus to their
chauffeurs for mileage on their tires
beyond that which the maker claims
for them. Not to cast reflections on
the chauffeur, they have made change
over and then offered the bonus. The
results have been surprising. Tires
which previous chauffeurs had con-
demned, and which had been unable to
do anything like the mileage claimed
for them, have gone distances that
would make them seem almost in
destructible. 1t seems a shame that
such a policy should be followed but
when rubber has. advanced to the price
that it is now, the end seems to justify
the means.
