day afternoon at o'clock.
Since the decision sustaining the SeIden
patent as covering the modern gasolens 2
automobile many dealers believe that pur-
chasers should be informed fully as to the
Importance OF buying only those cars that
are licensed. They state that buyers of
such cars are free from any possibility of
legal ENHANCEMENT; that they have
broader field in which to dispose OF their
old cars when buying new ones; that they
have the benefit of the highest manufact-
uring facilities and engineering skill. and
moreover. that they possess ear for which
parts can be obtained at any time
The dealers offer many other reasons. ami
believe that when the licensed dealers are
organized they viii be In an excellent posi-
ton to enlighten the public on the un-
doubted advantages of buying licensed cars.
which include all types from s4S5 to $500.
1t is understood that the formation of
the proposed Licensed Automobile Dealers

associations in all of the big cities OF the
country. More than fifty licensed dealers
have been invited TO attend the meeting.

Poughkeepsie as soon as the exercises OF
the day are over
One thing that bothered Rice AT Pough-
keepsie last spring was the difficulty he
had in keeping the men in good hunor in
the long waits between the morning and
afternoon rows. There was never any
serious trouble, but he did have 10 stop
some OF them from playing bridge, az they

OPPOSE COPPER DEAL
NeUadas President against
Utah PrODOsitiOn.

Further opposition TO the proposed alb
sorption of the Nevada Consolidated Cop
per Company by the Utah Copper Company
developed yesterday. James Phillips, jr.,
president OF the Nevada company sent Il
circular letter TO the stockholders pro-
testing against the taking over of that
company by the Utah company on the
proposed basis OF two and quarter shares
of Nevada for one share Of Utah.
Mr.. Phillips calls the offer 10 the Nevada
stockholders ''farcicaI and insufficient. in
view of the record and condition OF the
properties with which we are asked 70
combine" He draws comparisons between
the two companies. seeking to show that
the Utah is unduly favored under the
terms of the proposed merger and says
that no good reason exists for their ANAL
gamation. With a positive belief that
our dividends will continue for thirty years
to come he adds. IT shall not exchange
my stock
The circular made 1t evident that no
agreement in the matter of consolidation
with the Guggenheim properties had been
reached, and said that despite the fact of
the unconditional promise of the Guggen-
helm interests that no step would be taken
toward any merger until the figures sub
mitted by their engineers giving the esti-
mates and assays OF their properties had
been verified. and until their statements
as to dividend earnings could be substan-
tiated, the proposition to consolidate the
companies had been rushed through the
Utah board.
Daniel Guggenhaim said that the sugges-
ton OF exchange OF the stock of the
Nevada Consolidated Copper Company for
stock Of the Utah company upon the basis
of one share OF the latter for two and
quarter shares of the former, had been
made upon the recommendation of eminent
mining engineers.
