CADILLAC MEN IN
BIG CONFERENCE

Believing that nothing is produc-
tive of so much good as educational
work with both the buyers of automo-
biles and the men who sell them,
the Cadillac Motor Car Company
gathered its dealers together during
tho recent Chicago automobile show
for general conference, The AFFAIR
covered .wo days, during which time
tho H'olers exchanged ideas among
themselves and with the heads OF the
factory departments and listened to
Illustrated talks by the factory exec.
ullves on design, engineering, con-
struotion, selling and advertising,
Upward of one hundred Cadillac
dealers were Npresent, representing
practically all sections Of the United
States from Boston to Los Angeles
and Portland, and from Minneapolis
to Jacksonville, Fla.
A banquet. or rather love feast,
, marked the closing session, the chief
features Of which were addresses by
Messrs, w G, Leland, General Mana.
ger of the Cadillac Company, and
Henry M. Leland, Advisory Manager.
In the address Of tho latter he told
the story of the Cadillac, giving due
credit for many of the underlying
principles which had materially con-
trlbuted to It's great success, to his
iother--a stern New England farmer
who had always impressed upon him
that there was only one way to do %
thing and that was the right way.
Mr.. Leland laid particular emphasis
on the fact that It was actually less
expensive to do work that was clean,
close and accurate than to do work
that was poor slovenly and inaccu-
rate.

Speech by John Temple
Graves.

That requests will pour into the Pan
American Union during the next few
months from commercial organizations
and business firms throughout the coun-
TRIP urging that another Pan American
Commercial Conference be held next
year is the belief of delegates to the

Practically all of the delegates had

ing the principal subject Of discussion

ing Dun & Co., and others.
DR. w. p. Wilson, director of the
Philadelphia Commercial Musuem, sug-
gested that the delegates appoint a

to Director General Barrett for calling
the conference. A committee of seven,
headed by J. II. Patterson, of the Ma
tional Cash Register Company, was ap-
pointed to draw up such resolutions.
DR.. Wilson was named chairman OF a
committee to draw up resolutions OF
appreciation to the diplomatic represen-
tatives of the Latin American republics

LODGE AGAINST BIG
PENSION INCREASE
Will Oppose Sulloway Bill
When 1t Is Taken Up for
Consideration.

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts will
oppose the Sulloway pension bill when
1t comes up for consideration in the
Senate He will take the ground that
the increase of approximately $5O,Oo0.OOo
is unwarranted.
Whether he would support the NC
Cumber substitute could not be learned.
He is favorable to a moderate increase
in the pension budget, but does not see
the necessity for an increase which will
total 100000 within the next ten
years, as the Sulloway measure will
probably do.
Senator Lodge is now preparing
speech in opposition to the bill of the
New Hampshire member. This he will
deliver on Tuesday or Wednesday OF
next week.
Fight Over Substitute.
The fight over the pension bill in the
Senate will center around the adoption
of the McCumber substitute. This
much was learned today when the fact
became known that a number of Sen
ators on the Republican side OF the
chamber were preparing to speak
against the majority report of the Sen
ate Committee on Pensions, which
favors the Sulloway plan.
Senator McCumber is chairman of the
Senate committee. He has offered
minority report to accompany his sub
stitute bill This bill provides for an
increase in the pension appropriations
of about $S,5OO,OOO. Even with this in
crease he figures that the next years
budget should not exceed that of 1910
1t would even be lower, he argues, than
the money spent in 1909 for pensions.
Atlantic Plan Fails.
Neither house has adopted the At
lantic plan of increasing pensions. This
plan has formulated at the last meet
ing of the Grand Army at Atlantic City.
and, if adopted, would result in an in
crease of about S15,OO0OOO.
The fear that the President Will not
approve of the Sulloway bill, should it
finally pass, will be used by the op-
ponents of this big jump in the apprro-
priations as an argument against the
favorable consideration of the propo-
sition of the New Hampshire member.

Which Was Part of Shipment by the Du'
 Pont Company to South America
CAUSED EXPLOSION AT COMMUNPAW
According Dr. C. w. Hudson, Inspector for the Pow.
 der Company-The Powder in Some Unknown Way Became Ignited and in Exploding Detonated Dyna-
 mite, Part of the Cargo-Eight Arrests.

New York, Feb. 3.-Ten thousand pounds of black powder on board the lighter Katharine w., contrary to the company's policy and orders," proba- bly caused the explosion of dynamite at Communipaw, N. J., on Wednesday, according to Dr. w. G. Hudson, in spector for the E. E. Dv Point De Ne mours Powder company. This powder, he said, was part of Du Pont ship ment for South America, as was the dynamite, but it should have been de- liyered to steamship, he maintained, before the dynamite was taken aboard Black Powder More Dangerous Than
 Dynamite.
 Contrary to general belief said Dr.. Hudson, .sblack powder is far more dangerous than dynamite. 1 believe the powder became ignited and in ex- ploding detonated some of the dyna- mite-not much of it. Dynamite freez- es at about 45 degrees fahrenheit, and is nearly impossible to explode when frozen. The temperature on the day of the explosion and for a week before was below 45."
 Hudson Maxim, the inventor, an au- thoritv on explosives, inclined to the same belief. He thought the after ef- fleets of the explosion suggested gum powder rather than dynamite. "Dyna- mite produces intense local effects,"- he said. Tt pulverizes, whereas gunpow-
