SLUMP IN AUTO BUSINESS
Notwithstanding Boosting Efforts
Bottom Seems to Have Dropped Out
Of Manufacturers.

New York.-Indications point to the
bottom having fallen out of the auto
mobile business. The manufacturers,
1t is reported in. trade circles, are
making strenuous efforts to keep up
show of continued prosperity, but
it Is also said that they are not sell
Ing their product, but are storing ma
chimes throughout the country at their
various agencies to prevent the pub
lie realizing the true conditions of the
market.
Several large concerns are laying
of men and giving all sorts of rea-
sons for SO doing except the state
ment that they are overstocked. Two
or three of the largest factories re-
Gently closed entirely, ostensibly for
the purpose Of taking inventory, but
the workmen were not given any
definite time at which to again report
for work, and IL Is not expected that
these factories will again be in oper-
alton this year.
A well known automobile agent of
this city said yesterday that all cars
would undoubtedly be selling at from
25 per cent to 80 per cent less than
present list prices within the next
two or three months. He added:
''The trouble with the automobile
business is that the farmers and peo-
pie of the smaller cities and towns
have not taken as kindly to the idea
as was anticipated. The farmers find
that the cost of keeping them in re-
pair and operation is more than the
cost of keeping horses to perform the
same work, and while there was, for
a time, tendency among the farmers
to invest in the machines, the demand
for cars from this class of buyers has
practically stopped, and l venture to
say we will not again sell TO the far
mers to any extent until prices are
materially reduced"

Assessment Rolls Invalid.

There Is ont valid assessment
roll In the upper peninsula, because
any assessment roll not made on a
cash basis is a violation of the consti-
tuition" said Secretary George Lord
OF the state tax commission to the
News.
Mr.. Lord and other members OF the
commission have just returned from
the northern part of the state, where
they made a careful survey of the as
sessments of mining concerns.
The supervisors of the copper coun-
try get together before the second
Monday in April and agree among
themselves as to the per cent. of the
actual value they will assess proper
ties. The supervisors take the mar
ket value Of the stocks, as quoted on
the second Monday in April of each
year and assess expiration or non
producing mines at 40 per cent. Pro
ducing mines, not paying a dividend,
are assessed at so per cent, while
mines actually paying dividends are
assessed at 60 per cent.

TRIED TO BUY INFLUENCE.
J. r. McMURRAY NAMED WITH HA
MON AS A WoULD-BE 5RlBER
IN INDIAN LAND DEAL.
Senator Gore Issues Statement In
Which He Says He Did Not
Accuse Sherman.

Senator Gore issued the following
statement relative TO Vice-Preslden'
Sherman:
have never, either in the senate
or before the investigating COM
mittee, made any charge whateve.
against Mr.. Sherman. / never Said
he was interested in the McMurray
contracts. directly or indirectly.
The vice presidents name was
mentioned TO me by Hamon as the
man higher up who was Interested
in the contracts.
~When / testified before the COM
mittee / was under obligation TO
relate all that Hamon had said, and
when IT came to me mentioning
what Hamon had said to me about
Mr.. Sherman, l named the vice.
president with extreme reluctance.
had no alternative but 10 tell the
truth. 1 think owe 1T to Mr.. Sher-
man and to the country to hope
that the fact Hamon mentioned Mr..
petual oblivion"
Not only Jake l.. Hamon, but J. F.
McMurray was named as a would-be
briber in the investigation of the $780,
100000 Oklahoma Indian land deal be-
fore the special congressional commit
tee at Muskogee, Okla.
McMurray is the holder of the con-
tracts with the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw Indians to promote which in con-
gress Senator Thomas P. Gore charged
he was offered bride.
d. G. McCurtain, a Choctaw Indian
and delegate to Washington for his
tribe, charged that McMurray, in 1906,
offered him a bride of $4,000 to with
draw opposition to the old tribal Nc
Murray contracts which subsequently
were disapproved by President Roose-
velt.
Green McCurtain, chief OF $4,000
Choctaws and a venerable Indian OF
81 years, with gray hair and, brown
plump cheeks, then took the stand. and
told the committee that one George
w. Scott, whom he believed acted in
him one-fourth Of the profits" to be
realized from the land deal, provided
he induced the tribe to withdraw all
opposition to the deal The OFFER re-
ferred to new contracts held by Nc
Murray, which are the cause of the
present investigation.
The amount of the bribe mentioned
by D. G.. McCurtain, who Is a son of
the chief, Is the same as that which
Senator Gore alleges was offered him
on May 6, last, by Jake Hamon to put
through the pending contracts which,
according to Senator Gore, would re-
suit in the selling OF 100000 acres of
coal, asphalt and timber lands owned
by the Indians to New York syndi-
cate on basis which would give Nc
Murray and his associates an "attor-
ney's fee" Of 10 per cent, or $4,000 900.

Ice Cream ls Much Better.

Reports which are being received
daily from the travelling inspectors
and chemists in the employ of the
state dairy and food department, lead
to the belief that the people of Michi-
gan are eating better ice cream than
ever before.
According to the records issued by
the department in its annual report
Michigan ice cream was below the
average in many cases. While this
did not mean that the product was
composed of grossly inferior ingredi-
ents 1t meant that the cream used did
not test up to STANFORD. The depart
ment took cognizance Of the fact that
the law was new, however, and In the
majority of cases a warning was given
and the matter dropped temporarily.
This year the records are showing
different results. Cream is testing
high, in many cases going above the
required IL per cent mark. Cream
manufactured by concerns outside
the state is also adhering to the
standard. Michigan retail dealers have
found that they are liable to prosecu-
ton II they handle inferior brands
Of cream and have insisted that their
houses conform with the rules of the
dairy and food department. In this
manner the commissioners have been
able to reach foreign makers who are
absolutely outside their jurisdiction
and their power to exercise supervi-
sion over all classes of cream, wheth-
er state or foreign make, has done
much in raising the average throuvh-
out Michigan.

Doubts Power to Fix Rates.

Attorney General Kuhn has been
asked to render an opinion on the
powers of the state railroad commits
sion to Ak the rates which power and
lighting companies shall charge their
customers. The matter was brought
to the state legal department by the
Michigan Power company of Lansing.
Some time ago complaint was
made before the state railroad COM

company was discriminating in its
rates, and several hearings have been

doubt in the minds of the attorneys as
to the power of the commission to fix
rates, and before any more hearings
are held the attorney general will rule
on the proposition.
