MANY INQUIRIES
ABOUT HUDSON 50
Indicate That Coming Season
Will be Greatest for Auto
mobile Industry

IF the inquiries We have received
about the 1911 Hudson '33' are a fair
criterion to judge from, then this is
going to be the greatest automobile
season ever known" said l.. b. Ris-
don of the Risdon Motor Ncar Co.,
Of Trenton.
"The enthusiasm displayed over
Howard r. Collins latest motor car
creation beats anything | ever knew
in the automobile business. They
were saying a few months ago that
the trade would slacken up bit. But
l look for the 1911 season with the
Hudson line to be the biggest we
ever had.
Doubtless the fact that everybody
is Interested in whatever Howard
Coffin does, accounts for vast
amount of the Hudson enthusiasts. II
seems that nobody is ignorant VI
what that noted engineer has accom-
plished An motor car designing. Ma
tuarlly, they all want to see If his
Hudson '33' is an improvement on his
other great cars. The general opin-
ion expressed by disciples of the
Coffin school is that Mr.. Coffin has
turned out his greatest car for 1911.
"The fact that the Hudson is strict
ly new from the ground up instead of
being remodeled 1910 car. also caus-
ed great numbers of people to become
interested in it. Those up-to-date
features such as enclosing the valve
mechanism, making the car dust
proof, wear-proof and noise-proof,
naturally aroused a great amount OF
curiosity The Coffin genius is seen at
its very best In his '33.' The feature
Of extreme accessibility, brought
about by combining the fiy-wheel and
fan and driving the water pump from
a cross shaft on the front OF the mo-
tor. makes great impression upon
motorists who admire distinct ad-
vancement in designing. The aboli-
ton of a great number Of unneces-
sary parts wins applause for the cr's
simplicity"

he might issue temporary Injunction
Oh which there should be a hearing
within five days. Under the present
law. judge can extend temporary
injunction indefinitely without giving
the enjoined party a hearing.
Seven of the bills bearing on the
conservation of natural resources sub
mitted to Congress by the President in
the last session were held up by com
mittees. AT least some of those will
be brought up for passage.
A bill to have locomotive boilers ex-
amined by government inspectors was
the subject of investigation by a SEN
ate committee last spring. 1t has
strong support. and an effort will be
made to have it passed. The railroad
companies are bitterly opposed to the
bill.
Alaska Problem Up Again.
Alaska is a hard problem. The pres
ent government consists of a governor
appointed by the President and Con-
gress, acting as a territorial legisla-
ture. A better form of government is
greatly needed. The population is so
scattered, however, and the interests
of widely separated sections so varied
that it has not been possible to de-
wise a satisfactory plan. The admins
tration formulated a bill last session,
but it received so hostile a reception
by the Senate that, it was withdrawn
after very limited consideration.
There is great need for the develop
ment Of coal lands, at least to the ex-
tent of supplying the people of Alaska.
Residents of towns located only a few
miles from rich coal fields are requir-
ed to pay SIS a ton for coal brought
from British Columbia. An effort will
be made to pass a bill opening up
some of the coal lands on leases that
will protect the government and as
sure reasonable prices to consumers.
Railroads are also needed for the
development of the territory, and bills
to provide for their construction will
be in the legislative grist of business

bill to carry out the plan is pend
ing in Congress and has been the sub
ject of a vigorous fight that has pre-
vented its passage. It's opponents
claim that the creation of such a bu-
reau would result in its control by
certain school os medicine and that
it would be a doctors trust"
Sentaor Hepburn (Rep., Idaho) is
chairman of the committee on manu-
factures. the members of which spent
much time last session in the investi-
CATION of the storage of food. He will
present bill to regulate storage. It is
a complicated subject because, while
some kinds of food deteriorate i'm stor-
age in few months, others will keep in
good condition for years. II is not al
together a question of cold storage.
Heat has to be provided in the low
temperature of winter to preserve
some articles of food.
A feature of the session will be the
report of the congressional commits
sion that conducted the Ballinger-P Pin
chot investigation. The report of the
minority of the committee has been
made public, and it is expected that
the majority will be heard from very
early in the session.
Reports will be received from the
Senate committee that is investigating

HERE AFTER 1909
MILES IN AUTO

DR.. Charles G. Perciyal, Of New
York, and Dick Shaded, of Chicago, ar
rived in this city on Saturday after
noon in their Abbott-Detroit bulldog"
automobile in which they have covered
1909 miles. Their car is equipped
with ropes, axes, planks and other ap-
pliances for use in emergencies or
where the roads are bad. The tourists
were pleased with the roads in Della
ware over which they passed. They
stopped for a while at THE EVENING
JOURNAL Office and obtained direc-
tions for their journey to Baltimore.
The autoists said they felt the cold

pose. The zone is now governed by the
Canal Commission, a make-shift ar
rangement to serve during the con-
struction OF the waterway. With the
canal in operation the zone will grad
ually acquire a population of consid-
cradle numbers, large business inter-
ests will be established and there
viii be need for a settled government.
Col. George w. Goothals. who has
charge cf the work on the canal, is
said to have recommended to the
President the adoption Of military
control. President Taft has not inti-
mated his opinion in the matter. Al
though It is a little early, the ques-
ton Of tolls may be brought to the at
tention of the legislators.
President Taft repeatedly has urged
the enactment of a law providing that
federal charters be granted to corpora
tions. Attorney General Wickersham
wrote a bill to carry out the idea, but
it has not been received with favor by
Congress.
An ocean mail subsidy to encourage
the building up of the merchant mar
inc. and especially to assist in the
establishment of steamship lines to
South America, is one of the strongest
planks in the Presidents platform. An
effort to pass a subsidy bill at the
last session developed scandal and
an investigation by a House commit
tee. with the result that no action was
taken by Congress. A determined ef-
fort will be made by friends of the
proposition to pass a bill in the pres
ent session.
The President is also strongly i'm
favor of law to limit the power of
federal judges in issuing injunctions
He would deny the issuing of any in
junction without a hearing attended
by both sides to the controversy. un-
less delay would cause irreparable in
jury to the applicant for the writ. In
the latter event of the judge would be

MERCHANTS
ARE ON
ALERT
About Proposed Change in
Schedule.
Board Of Trade viii Meet at $3.50
O'clock This Afternoon to COnSid.
eF Resembling Its Former Action
About Proposed Change.

A called meeting of the Board Of
Trade will be held at the city hall
this afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock.
A matter of much Importance to the
business men of the city, and espe-
cially to the retailers, is to be consid-
cred, and it is urged that every one
take the trouble to be present. Not
over half hour, at the utmost, need
be consumed and the question al
issue must be settled promptly.
At the last meeting OF the board a
resolution was adopted endorsing the
proposed change in the schedule both
ways of the Albany Amerlcus-Nla on
train
Since then opposition has develop
ed to the proposed change 1t is claim
ed that the change will be detrfmen-
tai to Americas, and that what should
be sought for is merely the restoration
OF the old schedule which carried the
train on to Albany at night and start
ed it from Albany in the morning, in
stead of making Americus the termi-
nus
There is a strong feeling in favor
of petitioning the railroad commission
to make this change, instead of the
change that the Macon Chamber of
Commerce is urging.
Even in Macon there is opposition
% the proposed change and in prac-
tically all of the towns this side of
Macon the opposition is quite strong,
and is taking the form of petitions
protesting against the change.
The mayor of Montezumh writes
that many there signed tie request
Tor the proposed change without real
zing exactly what the effect would
be, that the change is agitated solely
in the interest of Macon, and that
Montezuma would probably protest
against it.
The mayor of Marshallvine also
writes that he is opposed to the pro-
posed change and that nearly all the
leading citizens there object to it,
The mayor of Byron writes thai
counter petitions are in circulation
there and that nearly all the leading
citizens there object to it.
Up in Oglethorpe a counter petition
salso circulating with many sigma
lures.
Even in Macon there is no unanimi-
ty and a committee there is work
ing against it and will protest to the
commission. One of them writes that
they have Rieited the aid of the Tt
la1ita Chamber of Commerce and that
the movement for the proposed change
is mainly in the interest of. the Ma
con Evening News, which IS 'seekins
a better opportunity to, reach the peo-
pie between Macon and Albany in the
evening.
A number of Americus merchants
believe that the proper course for
Americus to pursue is to seek a re-es-
tablishment of the old conditions, as
Allericus has. suffered in a business
way as a result of the change.
