SHACKLET0N MAY USE
MAXWELL AUTO ON TRIP
Famous Explorer Negotiating for
Special Car to Travel Over
South Pole Ice

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Lieutenant
Shackleton the British south pole
hero, is an enthusiastic sportsman and
ardent motorist. Incidentally he knows
a motor car from mechanical stand
point, as well as he knows the sex
tant, and intends to tell some very in
teresting experiences both about his
journey to the south pole and the au-
tomobie he used on his trip when
he lectures in New York early next
month. Mr.. Benjamin Briscoe, presi-
dent of the Maxwell -Briscoe Motor
company, has taken considerable in
terest in the lieutenant's automobile
maneuvering in the polar regions and
has had some interesting correspond
ence with him since his return to Lon
don.
1t was the wish of Mr.. Briscoe to
build for the lieutenant a car that
would surmount all possible difficult
ties of polar travel, but the explorer
replied that the recommendations
noted in his log were so voluminous
that he preferred to discuss the mat
ter in person.
Polar travel. he says, is like hurd-
ling in the stalagmitic places and ice
boating in the smooth places. The car
used by him during the trip was made
under his personal supervision with
considerable thought paid to incorpor-
ating features that would meet the
exigencies of Arctic travel. Mr.. Bris-
coe told the lieutenant that he would
ease his spine by placing his Maxwell
touring car at his services While en-
tour.
He also hopes that "Big BilP' Ed
wards will have the snow piles cleaned
the day he meets the lieutenant at the
pier. otherwise no telling what polar
gymnastics might ensue.

HARVARD PSYCHOLOGIST
SAYS MEDIUM is FRAUD
Madama PaIadini Fails to Show Hugo
Munsterburg Spirit-Sum-
monng Powers

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. 31.-Prof,
Hugo Munsterburg. HarVard's psy-
chologist, has admitted that he had
privately examined Madame Paladino,
the Italian medium, and after varied
sittings with her had decided that she
was fraud.
Madame Paladino is a deception
he said. "She ranks, in my mind, with
the rank and file of professional spirit
ualists and no better. In my eXamina-
ton l detected the usual tricks of the
trade--nothing extraordinary or to be
marVeled at. The madame's malady
may be diagnosed as hysteria pure
and simple and a case of the worst
description. She showed me none of
her wonderful it-summoning pow
ers.
"The reason why many Of her in
vestigators have been deceived by her
is that they were all persons of great
suggesriveness and were played on ac-
cordingly by the madame's sugges-
tions. The woman possesses wonder
full suggestive powers toward certain
people. The breezes which she sends
forth from her forehead are merely
delusions, the creatures of her great
suggestive powers.
"Her table lifting trick was done
with her own hands. Photographs
which ! had taken plainly show her
hands placed on the table, and then,
too, the greater weight of her body
when the table was in the air de-
termined me in my conclusion that
she was taking"

TALKS OF ADVENTURE
MARK COURT CONTEST
Suit for $4,000 in Breach of Prom
ise Case UnfoIds Strange
Romances

NEW YORK, Jan. 91.-F'rom the mo-
ment that Miss Edith Faurie and Harry
Lazelle began to get confidential there
began to be unfolded a tale of love and
adventure that wound up with a
prosaic hitch in the supreme court yes
terday. Said hitch was incident to the
beginning of Miss Faurie's legal effort
to separate Mr.. Lazelle from $4,000 by
the breach of promise route, with Judge
Giegerich as the umpire.
Miss Faurie confessed to 81 years.
She said she was daughter of Louis
Faurie of New Orleans. After her
fathers death she came, in 1899, to New
York. where she took quarters in con-
vent boarding house in Lexington ave-
nue.. Here she lived until 1900, when,
she charged, the defendant promised to
make her his wife.
Miss Faurie told her mother superior,
so she said, that fortune teller had
picked out her fate for her in a man
she would encounter in a bank. The
man. with the bank background, she
said appeared next day in the person of
Mr.. Lazelle and took her to dinner at
the Savoy.
Then they went out another time,
and each told the other they loved
from IlISL SlSIll. Iiltn SliG Sellu MI
Lazelle took her to a boarding house
to await the ring and the preacher.
Then they drifted to the story of their
lives She charged that he told her he
had quarreled with his mother; that he
had gone to a neighbor's house and
somebody had thrown his mother out
of the window and killed her while he
was gone. The alibi provided by the
nelghbor, he said, according to her,
saved his neck.
Miss Faurie said she then tore dark
page out of her own back numbers and
passed it overflow she had given up a
distinguished German gentleman to
whom her father objected and secretly
married young doctor from whom
first the law and then the yellow fever
separated her two years before coming
to New York.
Having reached this stage Of the case
court took a recess until morning.

GOTHAM DEALERS TO
FORM ASSOCIATION
Lead of Local Merchants Followed
by New York Agents for Liz
censed Cars

Following the lead of the licensed
dealers of Los Angeles, the automo-
bile dealers of New York city are or
ganizing under the same system and
are to meet this week for the purpose
of forming the new association. The
call is as follows:
Believing that the interests OF
those who buy motor ears should be
protected against dealers who are
selling cars which infringe the Selden
patent, a call has been issued with
view to forming an organization to be
known as the Licensed Automobile
Dealers of New York. The meeting
will be held at the Hotel Astor next
Thursday afternoon at o'clock"
The call is signed by the Sidney B.
Bowman Automobile company CAP
person and Marmon cars), the White
company (Whlte cars, George c. John
(E-M-F and Flanders), Oldsmobile
company of New York, by Gen. John
T. Cutting (Oldsmobile), b. X.
Thomas Motor company (Thomas),
MaXwell-Briscoe company, incorporat-
ed (MaxwelD, Carl H. Page & Co.
(Chalmers-Detr and r. NJ. Owen &
Co. (Reo and Premier).
Since the decision sustaining the
Selden patent as covering the modern
gasoline automobile, the above deal
ers have believed that purchasers
should be informed fully as to the i'm
portance 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 a broader field in which to
dispose of their old cars when buying
new ones that they have the benefit
of the highest manufacturing facili-
ties and engineering skill, and more
over, that they possess a car for
which parts can be obtained at any
time, whereas the buyer of a car
made by a mushroom concern may
meet the serious obstacle of seeing the
company pass out of existence in a
short time. The dealers offer many
other reasons and believe that when
the licensed dealers are organized they
will be in an excellent position to en-"
tighten the public on the undoubted
advantages of buying licensed cars,
which include all types, from $4S5 to
$500.
1t is understood that the formation
of the proposed Licensed Automobile
Dealers of New York is the aforerun-
ner of similar associations In all the
big cities of the country. More than
fifty licensed dealers have been invit-
ed to attend the meeting, and they in
clude almost all the leading dealers Of
the big city.

Stranger to Give SuaVe op-
orators $500

NEW YORK. Jan. 31.-Jose c. Her.
rara, a merchant who comes from
Peru and who is stopping at the Hotel
Rreslin, was $400 richer at o'clock
Yesterday than he was at 4:30 o'clock
but he had gained lot in experience
and knew more about the wiles of a
great city.
Senor Herrara told the police that
he was strolling along Broadway when
he met a man who shook hands with
him. That man was about 40 years
old, weighed about 200 pounds had a
smooth face and smoother manners
When he found he had made mis-
take and didn't know Herrara he
apologized gracefully and then entered
into converse with the Peruvian. They
went to a hotel bar and had drink
or two. The stranger confided that he
was George E. Davis. in business at
122 La Sale street, Chicago.
They had more drinks and got
chunny. Davis knew a faro dealer
named Douglass who was very anxious
TO let his friends win large sums from
the gambling house where he worked.
He would introduce Herrara to Doug
lass. Oh, they would win lots or
monevl Herrara was delighted. Da-
Wis regretted that Douglass was not
there, and 10! at that moment in
walked Douglass!
Herrara hadn't any money with him,
hut would get some and meet Davis
and Douglass again. He met them
Yesterday afternoon at O'Clock in the
Hotel Imperial. He gave Davis $4OO
TO play in the game in which he was
70 win thousands upon thousands.
Davis stepped out for moment to
buv a newspaper. Presently Douglass
went out to see what had become of
paws. Senior Herrara waited two or
three hours and then went out to hunt
un both. He couldn't find them, so
went to the police.
