MCCLELLAN RETIRED
AFTER HALF CENTURY
OF BRIDGE BUILDING
FOR FoRTY-SEVEN YEARS IN THE
EMPLOY OF RAIL
ROADS.
PENSTONED in HIS Old AGE
Rebuilt All the Bridges From Nash
Vile to Decatur During the Civil
War-supt. Wheeler Writes His APP
probation of Valuable Services.

After nearly half century OF &C
tive service Moses M. Mcclellan, su-
pervisor of bridges and buildings OF
the L. & N. Railroad, has been retired
by his company on monthly pension
Mr.. McClellan's term of service Is
longest perhaps Of any bridge builder
in the United States. For exactly for
ty-seven years he has been engaged In
the spanning of streams, and for about
thirty years of that time he has beld
his present position. In 1S72,or thirty
eight years ago Mr.. Mcclellan entered
the employ Of the L. & N, which took
over the old Nashville and Decatur
railroad by which he had been pre-
viously employed for nine years. Dur
fng the Civil War he rebuilt all the
bridges from Nashville to Decatur, in
Guiding the bridge at Rutherford
creek. Forrest and other daring raid
ers gave his bridge crew plenty to do,
and they were never troubled with
surplus time on their hands.
]. R Wheeler, superintendent, In
notifying Mr.. Mcclellan of his retire
ment, wrote him as follows:

said That One and Half Million Was
the Price Paid for Control Of the
ST. Louis southwestern-Deal Pend
ing for Ninety Days.

The acquisition of the Cotton Belt
Route by the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad means that the L & n.
N. will now have its own outlets TO
the west and southwest, and is Of To-
cal interest. Perhaps the most i'm
portant of these is the short cut the
L. & N. will be able to make to st.
Louis. At present, the l. & n. to
reach st. Louis from Memphis IS re-
uuired to take passengers and freight
to st. Louis by way of Guthrie, KY
With the acquisition OF the
Cotton Belt Route, the L. & N. VIII
have its own direct line from Mem
phis to St. Louis, by way Of Fair Oaks
Jonesbore and Maiden, which is al
most a straight line through to that
point.
The L. & N. will also have direct
routes to points in Texas, such as
Sherman, Dallas, Fort Worth, Gates
Vile. Kennard and White City, all
cities in the Lone Star State, and also
to Little Rock, Ark, and Shreveport,
ia.
The total mileage of the Cotton Belt
Route is 1857 miles, reaching from
st. Louis to Gatesville and travelling
through Missouri, Arkansas, oklaho-
homa, Louisiana and Texas.
In the long freight hauls OF gram
and other commodities, it is probable
that local dealers will be benefited
by the establishment Of better freight
schedules to Texas and other points
and southwest. And it is also prooa'
BILE that passenger schedules through
Memphis will be improved and lopg
lay-overs avoided. Travel to the south
west will likely be offered induce
ments to go by Memphis and the Cot
ton Belt, and cheap through rates are
anticipated.

NEW VICE PRESIDENT FOR
BIG AUTOMOBILE COMPANY
Merit, Not Pull, Won Him the En-
viabIe Position

There is probably no better illus
tration in the motor car industry OF
a young man working himself up from
comparatively nothing to position OF
importance than that of Christian
Pretz, recently elected vice president
of the Maxwell-Briscoe Motor com
pany, which is affiliated with the
United States Motor company.
Vice President Pretz's election to
that office came to him after years of
hard labor and the reward, is all the
more sweet because it was secured by
merit alone He takes pride in the
fact that he never had a pull and
never had any one to push him ahead
except those who recognized his abil-
ity and tireless efforts to succeed.
Since becoming allied with the in
dustry his rise has been rapid, and ne
soon developed an unusual aptitude
for handling large forces of men. In
1905 he became associated with the
Maxwell concern as general foreman,
and during 1905 he was promoted to
general superintendent. When the
Maxwell company purchased the plant
of the Ingersoll- Rand company in Tar
rytown, doubling the Tarrytown out
put, Mr.. Pretz was made factory man
ager by President J. d. Maxwell. Since
that time he has well earned the dis
tinction of being one of the best pro-
ducers in the industry.
Christian Pretz was borr& in 1874 in
Allentown, Pa, and after finishing a
technical education he entered the
services of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company, working in their locomotive
shops He left the shops for the draft
ing room, where he remained for tve
years. After this he became interested
in the manufacture of rock drills and
mining machinery in the west, and
was general foreman of the Great
Western Pneumatic Tool company.
Severing his connection with this or
ganization, he accepted the position
of superintendent of the Railway
Speed Recorder company, later being
affiliated with the Kent Manufacturing
company of Kent, Ohio, manufacturer
of locomotive accessories.
1t was in 1908 that he realized the
great possibility of the automobile and
left the Kent Manufacturing company
as general foreman of the Olds Motor
works, which position he held until his
affliation with the Maxwell-Briscoe
Motor company.

.SCHWAB OFFERS TO BACK
AEROPLANE BUILDERS
Hamilton Says He Can Build a
Machine to Travel Six
Miles a Minute

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Charles K.
Hamilton is very enthusiastic over
Charles NJ Schwabs offer to back any
group of American aeroplane con-
structors that will seriously attempt
to construct flyer fast enough to
clean up all the worlds speed records.
In discussing MIR. Schwab's offer,
Mr.. Hamilton said: "It seems quite
possible to me to build an aeroplane
substantial enough to carry 200 or
300 horsepower motor and capable of
travelling six miles a minute. Steel
tubing filled with ash to prevent buck
ling would be strong enough to with
stand the strain. 1t would not be
necessary to design an entirely new
type of machine, though the controls
would have to be altered to get quicker
action.
81 proved, I think, at Sacramento
in my 110-horsepower machine, with
which I made one and one-third miles
at a speed of nearly ninety-one miles
on hour that one theory of Langley
is correct, and that is that after a
certain amount of momentum has been
attained in the air very little more
power is required to increase that
speed. one thiI is certain, and that
is that some sort of mask will have to
be invented to enable an aviator to
breathe while flying at high speeds AT
ninety miles an hour 1 found it ex-
ceedingly difficult to control my
respiration. Air was forced down into
my lungs faster than I could expel it,"
Israel Ludlow, the manager of the
aviation field at Mineola, is arranging
to get together the leading aeroplane
and aviation motor constructors to
discuss Mr.. Schwabs offer. The
Burgess Curtiss people, whose sixty
five-horsepower motor made such
good showing in Glenn H. Curtiss'
biplane at the Harvard Boston meet,
have offered their services to Mr.. Lud-
low, as have also Tod Shriver and
Philip Wilcox 1t is confidently ex-
pected that Curtiss and the Wright
brothers will come into the scheme.
The question of separating mono
planes from biplanes in races will be
brought up by E. w. Mix, the Ameri-
can delegate, at the annual meeting of
the International Aeronautic fedora
tion on October %. Mr.. Mix will rep
resent the Aero Club of America in
the place of Cortlandt F. Bishop, who
is now in this country. Fifteen coun-
tries will be represented at the meet
ing, at which the principal business
will be the drawing up of the rules for
next years aviation contests Mr..
Bishop says it is as absurd to race
biplanes against monoplanes as it
would be to match a carthorse against
a fast trotter From informal dis
cussions held with foreign aviators
during his recent visit abroad Mr..
Bishon came to the conclusion that
monoplanes and biplanes will not race
together after this year.

in expecting a one-price level for au-
tomobiles than there would be in ex-
pecting all watches, or pianos, or suits
of clothing, to be sold for the same
price.
1.-THE value of a motor car is in the
quality of the service 1t renders. That
service, in turn, depends upon the ma
chinery employed in making it; the
skill with which that machinery is
operated; the materials used and the
intelligence with which these materials
are handled
''In the manufacture of some motor
cars two or three assemblies which
make for quality will cost as much as
the entire assembly cost of some lower
priced car.
QUALITY COSTS MONEY
wherever there is a mediocre car
whose price has been too high, that
price will be drought down by the
natural law of averages. 1t will lack
everything it lacked before; it will
still be a cheap car; but the price will
be where it should have been in the
first place.
"The law of economy (resulting
from large production, better machin-
cry and large buying capacity has
been steadily at work for five years
in the manufacture of motor cars.
The average cost and selling price or
all the cars produced in this country
has steadily gone down.
"But quality, worth and merit cost
money in motor cars as they do in
everything else, and they always will.
Cut those three elements out of your
calculation and the condition pictured
by the Free Press story would be pos
sible. Leave them in and 1t is the
sheerest and widest nonsense"

c0RBIN CARS SOLD WITH
GAS CONSUMPTION LIMIT


In spite of the fact that some of the
dealers are not making as many sales
lust now as they would like to see,
the Corbin Motor Car company con-
tinues to place the Full-Jeweled Cor
bin cars with the class of people to
whom they cater, namely, the man
who knows.
In the length of time which the
Corbin cars have been handled in Los
Lngeles it has been demonstrated
clearly the many superior points which
they possess. For one who intends to
take care of his own car the Corbin
would appeal strongly on account of
the accessibility of all parts. The Cor
bin motor is manufactured in such
way that instead of 1t being necessary
to take off the entire lower portion in
order to adjust the connecting rod, or
any other minor adjustments of this
kind, it can be done in five minutes
by simply removing the large plate on
the side of the crank case. This also
comes in very convenient for one to
see the amount of oil in the crank
case.
The fact that the Corbin car runs on
ball bearings from stem to stern pro-
longs the life of the car very material
ly as well as reducing the friction to
minimum, increasing the power and
assisting greatly in reducing the gas
consumption.
The Corbin Motor Car company now
guarantees to it's purchasers that they
will get at least twenty miles to the
gallon of gasoline, and 1t is very com
mon for one to get twenty-five miles.
There are very few large cars on the
market that viii come anywhere near
this guarantee.
The fact that the Corbin cars are
manufactured bv the American Hard
ware corporation, New Britain, Conn,
who turns out nothing but the very
best. insures the purchaser that he is
getting value received for his money
not only in the car itself but by the
treatment which follows the sale of
car.

CHICAGO MOTORISTS
TO MAKE TOUR OF STATE

Chicago motorists will be given an
opportunity to learn something about
the topography of the state of Illinois
on November 7, 8, and 10, when the
10O0-mile reliability run of the Chicago
club will take place. The contest COM
mittee has announced the itinerary of
the run, and this shows that the cars
will have to average more than 200
miles a day on the five days run, and
they they will visit more than seventy
five of the cities and towns of Illinois.
The total distance will be 1917 miles.
It was originally planned to have the
run take in some of the other lake
states, but the motorists wanted to
travel through Illinois, and after con-
siderable argument the contest commit
tee was prevailed upon to confine the
route to that state. In previous years
the tour has always started from and
returned to Chicago each day but this
plan was also frowned upon.

MEXICAN
LIBERALS
GET NOTICE
MEXICAN GOVERNMENT LET
TING THEM ALONE BUT WILL
DEMAND EXTRADITION IF
REVOLUTIONARY LITERATURE
is SENT INTO MEXICO.

Los Angeles, Calf, Aug. 1S.--
Much excitement has been caused in
the Mexican colony as a result Of
the warming given the Mexican lib
erals. Magon, Rivera and Villareal.
recently released from the Federal
prison in Arizona by Juan B. Isa-
bel, member Of the Mexican con-
gress and an ardent supporter Of
President Diaz, who says that 20
send any revolutionary literature in
to Mexico would result in a demand
by the Mexican government for the
extradition of the three Liberals.
Isabel is in Los Angeles. In
speaking of the release of the trio
from the prison at Florence, Ari-
zona, where they served a sentence
for violating the neutrality laws, he
said that any newspaper, revolution
airy in character, which any of the
Liberals thought of printing must
be kept out of Mexico.
"If these men print a newspaper
containing insults to President Diaz
and send it across the Mexican hor.
der, my country viii ask the United
States government for their extra
dition," said Isabel
L. Gutierrez De Lara one Of the
most prominent Mexican political
agitators in the country, replying 70
Isabels warning, said that the first
issue of a newspaper presenting the
Liberal views will appear here Sep
tember 8. 1t will be called "Regen-
eracion." he said, and 10000 copies
will be printed, many of which prob
ably will be sent into Mexico.

take whatever steps may be neces-
sary to make the road safe.
The trouble seems to be that the
track of the railroad company is ele-
waited about 10 feet above the road.
This makes the ascent a steep one,
and in addition to that it is very
rough, and unless repaired it will
interfere much with traffic from the
country which the road drains. The
signers to the petition say that the
matter has been repeatedly called to
the attention Of the railroad COM
pany, but that it has refused to take
any action with regard to it.
The signers also call attention to
quarter of a mile of road west OF
the d. X. Brannon residence which
it is said to be dangerous, and they
further declare that every place
where this road crosses the streets
within the city limits in West Salem
that there is only sufficient room
for one team to cross and that the
remainder of the streets are occupied
by the railroad.
1t is further complained that
about one half mile west of West
Salem the railroad company occu-
pies a considerable portion Of the
public highway making it narrow
and dangerous when trains are
passing
It is further alleged that one
quarter of mile west of this last
named point the railroad company
has made a deep cut and left it un-
guarded. This conditions of affairs,
it is alleged, has lasted for a year,
and serve as a veritable death trap.
The commission will hold hear
ing at Dallas tomorrow for the pur-
pose Of investigating whether the
railroad facilities, and viii also at
this time take up the subject COM
planned of by she signers of the petit
tion.

to continue his fight from Tillman-
stone to London today but a series
of accidents to his biplane compelled
him to postpone the attempt.
Moissant ascended from Tillmau-
stone at 5 a. m, carrying with him
his hefty mechanician, Fileux.
Near Sittinbourne the connecting
rod on the exhaust valves of his ma
chine broke and the fliers we're
forced to descend at Z o'clock and
spend two hours repairing the ma
chinery.
They re-ascended at $50 but had
only gone as far as Upchurch when
the machinery became cranky and
badly damaged the aeroplane. The
aviators were flying low at the time
and escaped injury.
It is probable that they will be
able to resume their fight tomor-
row.
At Upchurch one of the stays
broke, fouling with the engine, and
in alighting the propeller and part
of the chassis were broken, the BIZ
plane narrowly missing a tree as It
swooped to the ground. Moissant
and Fileux were shaken up but nel-
ther was incapacitated.
Moissant wired to Paris for an
other propeller, which possibly may
arrive today The aviator will not
claim the Daily Nails prize. It is
liekly however, that the Mail will
give Moissant a reward.
"I took up aeroplaning merely
for sport and would not care to
make business of it," said Mois-
SAINT. 1T is good fun, so what more
could 7 ask? OF course, if the Mail
insists that I am qualified I shall
not refuse the money"
Moissant announced that he would
at last get a good rest and a sound
sleep. The aviator decided Monday
to start on his Paris-London flight.
He had no sleep before starting
Tuesday morning and only two
hours of sleep at Amiens Tuesday
night. Last night he and FileuX
slept in a hay stack at Tillmanstone,
Moissant refusing to sleep in a
house and leave his ''baby," as he
calls his biplane. He "hit the hay
literally at II o'clock but was up
again at 1880 this morning. He ate
little since he started for London
and smoked cigarettes incessantly'
Moissant in his flight wore a coat
ing of Japanese tissue paper over
his clothing, over which he wore a
jumper.
