FOUR BIG AUTO SHOWS
IN NEW YORK THIS YEAR

Greater New York will be the scene
of four automobile exhibitions this win
ter instead of three The motorcar
dealers in Brooklyn have decided that
they will no longer look upon Manhat-
tan as being the exclusive show center
in the big city, and arrangements have
been made for the holding of an eX-
hibition in the Twenty-third regiment
armory in Bedford avenue, Brooklyn,
during the week of February is to 20.
The Brooklyn Motor Vehicle Dealers
association is back of the affair, which
is being managed by a, man who has
had considerable experience promoting
similar shows throughout the country.
The Forthcoming show will be the
first of it's kind held in the City of
Churches, despite the fact that many
cities with smaller populations and To-
Gated in vastly inferior sections, from
car selling standpoint, have been the
scenes of successful motorcar eXhibi-
tions. Careful consideration was taken
in selecting the dates so that they
would not conflict with shows held in
other cities. February Is to 25 was de-
cided upon because it came between
the national show at Chicago and the
exhibition in Boston. The former ends
on February II and the latter begins on
March a. show is scheduled to be
held IN Newark, N. d., during Ine SdIHe
week as the Brooklyn exhibition, but
the promoters of the latter affair don't
believe the New Jersey event will con-
fiict with theirs,
The Brooklyn dealers declare that
there are enough prospective automo-
bile purchasers on Long Island to make
a show in their city paying PROPOSE
tion. They argue that man living
i'm Brooklyn or on Long Island would
fS, visit AisnlDN in tho vicinity
travel to New York where he would
have TO contend with the crowds. etc.
The cars handled by the Brooklyn men
are representative enough for a pros
pective buyer having his choice of from
the lowest to the highest priced on the
market.

COY BELIEVES IN
TUTORING BABIES
Yale Coach Says the System of
NegIeCting Freshman Can
didates Hurts Varsity

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 25.-E.
II. Coy, head coach of the Yale eleven
this year, has suggested a radical
change in the method of coaching the
freshman team. He favors resident
graduate coach. Coy says:
1T is a difficult question to decide
on the most advantageous way to coach
the freshman football teams. Now
that the first-year men are not allowed
to play on the university teams, as
they once were, the graduate coaches
who return off and on during the foot
ball season are not as eager to look
over the heterogeneous crowd which
offers itself for tria, every fall. For
merly graduate would search through
the ranks of the recent preparatory
school stars and occasionally, as they
were at work. would discover someone
whom he thought had possibilities.
Then he would take this freshman ana
after several words of advice would
send him to join the university squad,
where it would soon be determined
whether or not he was good enough.
Under this former regime freshman
football candidates never had to worry
for want of coaching. Now the situa-
ton has changed. Something must Pe
done to improve our freshman football
teams, and we must Immediately pe-
eide on some more definite and saRls-
factory coaching system.
OTHERS GET GOOD RESULTS
"Of course. the most advisable and
effective system would be to have
resident graduate coach in charge OF
the freshman squad. 1t is altogether
too difficult a proposition for one in
exnerienced undergraduate to handle.
But the question is-could a graduate
be induced to return to college, and
give up so much time to freshman
team? 1t is my belief that this grad
uate should live with the coaches of
the university eleven, and by so doing
become thoroughly acquainted with the
developed along lines similar to the
university system. If this cculd be
done our freshman football teams could
be developed along lines similart to the
big teams. and therefore would be able
to start their second year Of college
football with a general knowledge of
how things are done and know just
what would be expected of them.
"At any rate. the freshman coach
should be in closer touch with the other
coaches than he has been in the past.
1t is the men who are candidates for
the freshman teams that are soon
members of the university, and we owe
it not only to those individuals, but
also to the college, to do all that we
can to develop them. Each year that
we neglect our freshmen means that
our university teams the following year
will be less educated n the game of
football. whereas, if we give to these
newcomers our loyal attention, our
university teams will in turn I've great
ly benefited

SHUT Ships BOTTOM.

After being imprisoned in the cellular
double bottom OF the battleship Con-
nectcut in the navy yard in Brooklyn
for about twelve hours, A. Wyrick, an
ordinary seaman on the ship, is at the
naval hospital, on Flushing avenue, re-
covering from the effects OF fumes OF
paint, which he had inhaled.
Wyrick was at work in the compart-
mcnts on Saturday afternoon, cleaning
and painting. His companions answer
ed the mess call at supper time, but his
absence was overlooked until he failed
to answer when lights out" time came,
and men were sent into the spaces be-
tween the outer and inner shells of the
ship to find him. He was thought
be dead when companion found him
senseess in newly painted compart-
mcnt, but vigorous work when he was
dragged from his cramped quarters and
brought on deck resulted in some sigrs
OF life.
Wyrick's case was made doubly seri
Gus by the closing of the manholc in
the inner shell, through which he enter
ed the space between that and the outer
plating, leaving him with no fresh air

death OF LIEUTENANT SMITH.

Lieutenant James Smith, who during
the past few weeks had been confined
to his home on north Fairfax street by
illness, died shortly after eleven O'Clock
this morning. The deceased leaves a
widow and four children-Mr. Frank
Smith, Mrs. Eflie Reed, and Misses
Laura and Emma Smith.
Lieutenant Smith was a son OF the
late John L. and Mary Smith, and was
born in Alexandria about IS years ago.
In early life he was associated with his
father in the shoe business, but upon
the organization Of the present police
force in 1870 he became 4 member, his
father having been chosen lieutenant.
He later resigned his position, but was
reelected member of the force year
or two later, and upon the death OF his
father, about a quarter OF century
ago. he was elected lieutenant OF police
by the City Council, a position ne had
since held As might have been ex-
pected, the deceased passed through
some thrilling scenes rs Il conservator
of the peace during his forty years OF
service. Fearless and active he was
ever ready to perform his duty. Dur
ing the past few years it was realized
by the many friends and acquaintance
OF Lieutenant Smith that he had seen
his best days and that his natural vigor
was abating. He had previously passed
through terrible experience with a
malignant carbuncle. A slight stroke
of paralysis followed and later organic
disease developed. He persisted in re-
porting for duty and remained at his
post as long as possible. The news OF
his death will be read with regret by
his many friends and acquaintance
and his sorrowing family will have
their earnest sympathy. The deceased
recently united with the Second Presby-
terrain Church.

upon which he would make public his
choice in the matter Of his selection OF

late John w. Daniel. OF Lynchburg,
but that this appointment will be made

upon former Governor Claude A. Swan
son is a forcgone conclusion, The I'M
expected term OF the late senator from
Virginia terminates March 3, 1911.
As the senatorial primary election
comes up in Virginia next summer, 1t
is altogether probable that the appoint

OF the next legislature will begin, in
which the election of the senator will
