Fitzgerald stoutiy denies the charge

Bonds for $4,000 were furnished by
William Joyce and James Ralph.
The theft has been one of the great

many years. MANY of the bills taken
were of the domination of $1,000. Fitz-

About two years ago a private detec-

gerald. The detective agency had
gathered a mass of evidence TO show
that Fitzgerald had accumulated a
fortune for which no adequate explain
alton could be offered. Fitzgerald ex-
planned that he had made his money in
speculation. The charge against him
was not pressed. and his arrest caused

ROYAL HAWAIIAN

Manager George Wells, of the Roy
al Hawaiian Garage has received def
mite advices that the fine, new Alec
cars will arrive here on or about June
25, and he has made ample prepare
lions for their reception and display.
These cars are among the finest ever
imported into the Hawaiian Islands,
and are sure to make a great hit from
the very first. They are high in price,
it is true; but the value is all there.
During the week Cartercar has
been delivered to B. F. Dillingham;
for service between the city and the

CHICAGO, May 27.-Two motor.
car accidents, which probably will
cost two lives, occurred in Chicago
today almost at the time Walter J.
Raymer track elevation superinten-
dent, was submitting to Mayor Busse
a report in which he declared that
autos were rapidly becoming a greater
menace to life in this city than the
railway grade crossings.
Raymers report shows that since
June 1, 1909, twenty-five persons have
been killed and 6S injured in motor
car accidents of all kinds, while the
grade-crossing record is thirty-five
dead and only eighty-three injured.
The feature that makes the issue
more serious is that motor accidents
are increasing, while grade crossing
mishaps are being reduced in number
by elevating the railway tracks. The

GOOD WORDS ABOUT
THE 1871 PACKARD

The 1911 line of Packard motor cars,
made by the Packard Motor Car Co..
of Detroit Mich is a departure from
conventional practice, embracing both
open and enclosed cars with bodiesI
designed in a new foredoor style. AL
so, the Packard standard paintingI
colors have been changed from Pack
ard blue and cream yellow, to Pack
blue, black, and Packard gray.
The new Packard open cars, instead
of having bodies of the torpedo type
are made with both the front and rear
body panels in strong relief and with
Victoria carriage lines. These panels
are painted Packard blue, striped with
Packard gray. The frame, bonnet,
tenders. and similar parts are black,
while the wheels and running gear
are Packard gray, striped with black.
The effect is not only pleasing, but
gives the Packard new individuality,
the widely known Packard blue and
cream yellow combination which was
introduced in 1904 having become
quite conventional motor car colors
The 1911 Packard $50" line consists
of a touring car, phaeton, close-cou
pied car, runabout, limousine, land
aulet, coupe, fore-door limousine and
fore-door landaulet. The Packard "lS
is made as a five-passenger open car
close coupled car, runabout, and IN
enclosed car styles similar to the 80
Both cars are the same in quality anc
general appearance. The list price
of the Packard go" open cars is
$4,000, and of the "1S" open cars
$4,000. The standard equipment Of
all open cars includes Packard tops
All cars are equipped regularly WIFI
Continental demountable rims. Tho
tires on the go" are SO by 4 Il
inches, all around, and on the IS
"a by inches.
The mechanical improvements in
the 1911 cars are extensive, but al
are in the nature of detail refinement
developing previous models. The mo
tor of the Packard $50" has four cyl
inders of 5-inch bore by IL lncf
stroke. 1t develops 80 brake horse
power at $50 revolutions per minute
The "1S" motor is of lie inch bore
by Is inch stroke developing 10
brake horsepower at $50 revolutions
ner minute. The wheel base OF the
"3O" is 1913 10 inches, except in the
case of the runabout, in which 1t IS
1OS inches. The "1S" standard Wheel
base in 112 inches and that of the run
about 1O2 inches.

A FLANDERS CAR

that it will be somewhere in the hills
of Alameda county or perhaps far
ther south in Santa Clara county.

EXPANSION FOR
CADILLAC PLANT

improvements and additions on a
large scale are to be made to the plant
of the Cadillac Motor Car Co. at De-
troit during the summer, and, al
though the details are being worked
out now, a general outline of the
plans can be given.
One of the additions is to be new
foundry, and it is the purpose of the
company to make it one of the finest
if not the largest in southern Michi-
gan. The site is 80 acres of land re-
Gently purchased and the plant is 10
be in four sections, each building 10
be IS 1900 feet in size.
When the work is begun on this, the
construction of additional factory and
office buildings on Woodward avenue
will be commenced. The present main
factory and offices face Cass avenue
block west of Woodward, and the
ground between Cass and Woodward
avenues, extending to both sides OF
Amsterdam avenue.
It is probable that the capitaliza-
ton of the company will be increased
to 100000, but this is a matter
/ which will not be decided upon until
conclusions have been reached re-
garding the other matters.

NEW RECORDS ON
EASTERN TRACK

INDIANAPOLIS Qnd. }, May 81
Records went down before the on
slaughts of desperately-driven cars in
today's races at the motor speedway
and the new course, the only brick
track in the world, justified all hopes
of it's constructors. In three different
classes for American stock cars, re-
cords were hammered down. The
greatest victory of the day was the
1O0-mile race for cars of 301 to 45O
cubic inches piston displacement, won
by Kincaid in a National in 1 hour %
minutes 43 seconds. The previous re-
cord, set by Chevrolet in Buick at
Atlanta, was hour "a minutes
seconds.
T1l-fortune took this race away from
Dawson, driving a Marmon. He led
the field from the tenth to the eighty
fifth mile and lost the lead by the
fouling of a spark plug and could not
regain it. Kincaid, pounding down the
home stretch, barely escaped crashing
into the press stand when one of his
rear tires ripper off and hurled him
high in the air. BY sheer strength
and nerve he held his car to the track.
In the five-mile race for cars of the
same class as the 100-mile event, Kin
caid broke another record, winning
over Dawson and Harroun, both driv-,
ing Marmons, by a tremendous burst
of speed in the home stretch. His
time was 4.05, lettering the former
record by 40 seconds.
Harroun had his inning in the ten
mile event for cars of 231 to 300 in
ches displacement. He won in SIG,
smashing the former record of 9:03.
Chevrolet, driving the Buick in the
fiye-mile race for the little 161 to $50
inches displacement, won with bril-
liant dash in 4:41, breaking the pre-
ious time of 5:1S.
The withdrawal of all the Buick
and Jackson entries because the tech
cars said to exceed classifications of
power, threatened the success of the
meet, but after several conferences
the Buick owners consented to re-
enter those of their cars that met
the American Automobile Association
rules as interpreted by the technical
committee, Chevrolet and Burman
thus were saved to the meet.
Good luck averted any serious acct
dent today. The steering gear of Bar
ney Oldfeld's Knox broke as he was
trying out his motor before the first
event was called, and he ran to the
high edge of the bank, but stopped
safely. The accident put him out of
the races today, but he is expected
to be ready for tomorrow's programme

narrow escape when the steering

though he admitted that in all prob
