CADILLAC CARS IN
MILITARY WORK

Probably there is no keener motor
car enthusiast among military men
in the United States than Major r.
p. Davidson, commandant of the
Northwestern Military Academy, ut
Highland Park, Ill., For several years
Major Davidson has been engaged in
experiments with Cadillac cars to de-
termine the degree of usefulness OF
the motor car in military work. Now
he advises the Cadillac company that
he is engaged developing means W
which automobiles can be used in
signal work. BY next summer he says
he hopes to be able to develop a ma
chine which will be of great value to
the service. ]
More than year ago, Maiop David
son purchased Cadillac Thirty and
equipped It with rapid-hre gun, or.
ganized squad and tested the use
fulness of the automobile in possible
warfare against aerial craft. Just be-
fore the star of this years Glidden
tour, the major purchased two more
Cadillaos, and equipped them with
quick arers; manned the trio with his
cadets, and sent them through tho
Glidden contest. Having proved the
cars defensive ability against war
craft of the air, ana their ability to
cover the ground with the extra
weight Of military equipment, Major
Davidson is about to turn to another
field.

THE one element of international
character developing in today's racing
was the contest between the Lancia,
made in Italy and the E. M. r. "30,"|
which represented Detroit, and was
the only car Of the American contin-
gent which seemed able to give the
foreigner an argument. The 70. NJ. f.

eight of the II laps Driver Witt then
stopped 10 take on oil, a precaution-
airy measure as It proved, The Lam

Lancia is a special built racing car

G, A. Schuman, head of The Schu
man Garage, has received the follow
ing concerning the new Locomobile:
The car embodies all the standard
features Of construction which gained
the Locomobile It's reputation for re-
liability and durability. Strength and
safety have been the essential con-
siderations, with the consequent re-
suit that the new six-cylinder Is
strong IN every feature.
The car has long, low, graceful
lines, which are emphasized by the
straight lines of the foredoors. The
car Is noteworthy in that Il looks
small and compact, lacking the bulky
cumbersome appearance so usually
associated with siS-cylnder cars.
The motor on this car is clean, and
although the cylinders are only IL
x4 10, the size which the A. l.. A.
M. rate at 4S h. p, It developed So h.
p. on the block.
The Bosch Dual Ignition System Is
used and olling is effected by a un-
ique internally contained oil pump
which is very satisfactory.
The Locomobile Company have
evolved a new carbureter for the six.
cylinder car, which they are building
in their own factory. This carbureter
is very flexible, supplying a uniform
mixture under all loads and condi-
lions. The motor Is connected to the
transmission by very simple and ef-
hcient disc clutch running I'm oil.
The motor has such n uniform tur-
ming movement that the Locomobile
Company have been able to use one
Of the simplest, mort compact and
strongest rear constructions which
have ever been used in a car Of equal
power. The transmission Is also SIM
pie and compact and is Of the foul
forward and reverse selectlye types
which the Locomobile Company have
used for some time.
Three quarter elliptic springs OF
the rear assure especially soft ant

One feature Of the car which Is az

IF YOU WANT TO REGISTER JUST
 DO IT YOURSELF

Party workers who in past years have been able to place a large num- Der of names upon the primary lists this year are handicapped. Workers cannot bring in big batch of ap- plications for enrolment and hand them to the registrars of voters as they have done in the past. If an elector desires to change from one party to the other he must appear in person before the registrars Or if he wants to be enrolled he must make personal application.
 On Saturday night Former City Sheriff John Capozzi applied to the registrars for a bunch of applications to circulate among his friends. When told that he could not have them he became indignant and thought that the registrars were granting him the same privileges they gave to others.
 It was sometime before Capozzi grasped the idea that new law had gone into effect. The registrars will not enroll any elector unless he is wiling to take oath to the statement that he is not a members Of or con- nected with any political party other than the one in which he is applying for enrolment.
 Several political workers have ap- piled for the application blanks and were surprised to learn that they have to learn that they have to get their friends to apply in person in order to get their names on the list.

CORES GROUNDS FOR SENATORIAL
 BRIBERY CHARGES
Especial from United Press.)

Washington. Aug. S.-The famous "McMurray contracts responsible for Senator Cores sensational charges of attempted bribery involve the proposed sale of 450.OOO acres of rich mineral lands belonging to the Choctaw and ChickaSaw Indians.
 Joseph F. McMurray, an attorney of McAllister, Okla, and his associates, had made contracts with numerous Indians by which the attorneys were to receive ten per cent of the proceeds of the land sales but Senator Gore opposed the McMurray contracts and introduced a measure in the Senate providing that all contracts with In- dians must be confirmed by Congress. It was this measure that caused the trouble.
 The possible attorneys fees" under the McMurray contracts are variously estimated from s3.00O,0O0 to SIG. 0.00O. 900. It is understood that there is a. stand ing offer of $30,0O0. 900 for the land while the Geological Survey has esti- mated the value at s100.000.000.
 McMurray's agents. it is charged, came to Washington to oppose Cores measure. According to Gore the bribe was offered to him in an effort to induce him to withdraw it.
 During the absence of Gore on June 24, the measure came up in the course of routine business and its enemies had practically killed it when Gore rushed into the chamber. Realizing that only the most extreme measures could save the bill at that stage or the session. Gore made his sensational speech in which he charged the at- tempt at bribery. But at that time he mentioned no names. ~
 On the last night of the session few minutes before final adjournment special committees were appointed by both the House and Senate to investi- gate the matter. Gore had succeeded in having his bill re-amended and adopted in such shape as to be satis- factory to him.
 Under the previous law it was pro vided that all blanket contracts with Indian tribes required the approval of the President and President Roosevelt in 1908 refused to 70. K" tribal con- tracts made by McMurray. The Mc- AIlister attorneys then proceeded to obtain individual contracts. which led Gore to introduce his bill.
