DECLARES ALLEGED
INTERVIEW FALSE
Mexican Vice President Denies
CTitiCising United States.

Paris, May Vice President Corral
of Mexico arrived here and, in a state
ment to the press, denied that he had
ever given an interview at Santander
or elsewhere in which he criticised
Americans as having fomented the
revolution in Mexico.
On April q Ell impartial of Mexico
City printed dispatch from Santana
er, Spain, in which Corral was quoted
as saying that the revolution in Mex
leo was fomented by Americans de-
sirous of Intervention by the United
States. According to the dispatch the
vice president said that in case of in
PREVENTION all Mexicans, regardless Of
party, would unite to fight the COM
mon enemy.
The publication was called to the
attention of the state department at
Washington by Ambassador Wilson
and the American government at once
took the matter up with Mexico
Senior Corral, as soon as he reached
here, took occasion to repudiate the
remarks credited to him, saying:
Il have never given an interview at
Santander or elsewhere criticising
Americans as having fomented the re.
bellion in Mexico. The alleged inter.
view was a pure invention, unworthy
of notice"

Cadillac car upholds rep.
utation for low cost
Of upkeep
Users drive cars at cost of less than one and
quarter cents per hundred miles of
travel for mechanical repairs.

to the request for information re-
ported having driven their cars
an aggregate of 398,884 miles at
a total repair cost for the entire
sevenIy-flve cars of S53.21; an
average of less than II cents per
car or less than one and a half
cents for each hundred miles of
travel.
Still another record which,
while not showing quite so low
an expense, tends in a measure
to corroborate the others, if such
confederation were needed, came
from Indianapolis where the six
ty-six Cadillac users who replied
to the inquiry reported an aggre-
gate mileage of 252,599 miles at
a total repair expense of $71.03,
an average of S1.08 per car. The
Indianapolis records not being
quite so low as the others is &C
counted for to some extent by
the fact that it includes the high
est individual expense in the lot
which in the case of one user
who had driven his car 5000
miles had repair expense of
$1,000.
In addition to the repair out
lays, the matter of gasoline and
oil consumption was in the case
of the New York owners made
the subject of investigation. This
showed as high as 81 miles to the
gallon of gasoline in ordinary
every day driving, but averaged
between Is to II miles. In oil
consumption, some owners run
as high as 1000 to 1900 miles per
gallon, but the average was ap-
proximately 1872 miles per gallon.
The Cadillac dealers in the
cities mentioned, advise that
these records include the reports
of every user who responded to
the request for information and
] that they are not simply a com.
pilation of figures obtained from
a selected list.
With this array of evidence,
coming, as it does from several
different portions of the country
and particularly in view of the
fact that prior to being asked for
figures the users had no intima-
ton that their experiences were
going to be made matters of rec
cord. 1t is quite reasonable to
assume that a canvass of Cadil-
lac users generally would show
very little variation in the mat.
ter of upkeep cost.

became a "federative" republic;
then was conquered by France and
became once more an empire. The
empire was overthrown in 1867. and
Mexico has ever since been a re-
public.
Although Mexico has republican
government and has a constitution
modelled largely on our own, that
constitution does not give the peo-
pie at large the privilege of the
ballot.
Texas is by far our largest state.
Yet Texas is only about one third

The papers are full Of stirring
news from Mexico.
Mexico is big and important re-
public which lies next to our own.
Yet the average reader knows too
little of that huge stage where a
thrilling war drama in real life is
now being enacted.
Here are few interesting facts
about the country:
Mexico won its freedom, as did
the United States, by a successful
revolution. One hundred and odd
years ago it cast off the Spanish
yoke.
For eleven years the struggle for
independence continued. In 1921
Mexico achieved full liberty.
Mexico in the last ninety years
has changed its form of government
again and again. 1t began as ar
empire. then became federal re
public, then a central" republic

SPECULATE ON TRUST CASES
Decisions Must Come in Three Weeks
or Go Over Term.


Washington, May 2-The supreme
court of the United States did not an
nounce decision in either the Stand
ard Oil or the tobacco suits, arising
under the Sherman antitrust law.
Only two more decision days remain
In the present term. These fall on
May Is and May 20. Unless the de-
cisions are announced on either one
of these dates the trust cases will go
over until the court convenes next
October
Persons who have conceived a no
ton that the court might consider an
effect on the stock market are predict
ing that the decisions will be handed
down May 20, the last day of the term
Because of the large number of cases
usually disposed of at such time
some cases will not be reached prob,
ably until after stock exchanges have
closed for the day. This is likely to
be true in the trust cases for the rea-
son that the senior judges are the last
to hand down their opinions.

Some very interesting figures
on the subject of motor car main
tenance have recently been made
public by the Cadillac dealers of
Dayton, Ohio.
For the purpose of enabling
them to present some definite in
formation to motor car buyers,
Cadillac users in Dayton, Ohio;
territory were Intercepted and
responses were received from
fifty-two of them, stating the
sums that had been expended
for mechanical repairs.
The users statements disclosed
the fact that the aggregate num-
Der of miles Travelled by the fifty
two cars was 246,245, or an aver
age of 4,734 miles per car.
TIE total sum expended for
mechanical repairs on the entire
number of cars was only S30.05,
or an average of about So cents
per car.
The highest expenditure by
any one user, a gentleman whose
car had been driven 5000 miles
was $500 Ten users expended
less than $1.00 each, while there
were thirty users who had not
expended a single penny. Among
those who had expended abso
lutely nothing was the user who
reported the greatest mileage
viz, 11,600.
Figured on the basis of cost
per mile, it shows that the 246,
245 miles at a total repair cost Of
$30.05 averaged about one and {
quarter cents for each hundred
miles of travel.
This Dayton record is by nc
means exceptional or unusual
The same dealer made a similar
investigation about a year prevl
GUS. At that time reports were
received from fifty Cadillac users
which showed that they hae
driven their cars a total of 1913,
$50 miles at a total expense fol
mechanical repairs of only SSH
or an average of less than L
cents per car for the season or
the basis of mileage, this expense
figured less than three and one
half cents for each thousand
miles of travel.
About the same time New York
and indianapolis Cadillac users
also furnished some very signlfi
cant data. In New York the
seventy-five users who responded
