rEMPoRARY QUARTERS ron FED
ERAL COURT ARR APPROVED
BY wIoKERsHAM,

United states Attorney General
wickersham cabied Marshal Hendry
yesterday to accept the Montgomery
proposition for court quarters on the
second and third stories Of the Model
block, on Fort street, near Beretania.
The details and conditions Of tho lease
have yet 20 be settled and approved by
the proper authorities under detailed
instructions by letter which is yet to
arrive.
The move is made necessary by the
fact that the interior Of the Judiciary
building is to be remodeled, which will
make it necessary for all the depart
ments now housed therein to secure
temporary quarters.
1t is desired by the superintendent
of public works that the federal Offices
be vacated by jane 10. An endeavor
will be made to do this, but the actual
date of the move will be contingent
upon the jury work and other business
of the court.
While the temporary location agreed
upon by the United States attorney
i general is not considered to be an
ideal place by the federal officials here
partly on account of its nearness tt
the car line, still it is by far the best
adapted of anything that has been of
lfered.

Coronation DAY.
There was some discussion In regard
10 the declaring Of June a2, The DAY
cot apart for The coronation Of King
George v. on king Of Great Britain and
Ireland, o. a holiday In this city. Mr..
Wakefield presented q resolution rec.
onsmending that tho Business men Of
the CITY close their shops on that day,
and this Was carried unanimously.
The report by the special committee
TO President White, Of the merchants'
association, is as follows;
oOnlmittes Report.
Your special COMMITTEES appointed 70
interview the Shippers' Wharf Tax
Committee with the object of securing
representation on the latter, which
would allow contributors to the emer-
Vency fund. to have a reasonable
knowledge of the manner in which the
funds were being expended, now beg
to report:
A meeting Of the two committees
was arranged, at which meeting the
different ideas of governing the fund
were freely expressed. Your commit.
tee stated the dissatisfaction caused
by the inability of contributors to re-
eeive anything but evasive answers TO
the many requests made for informa-
ton, at the same time laying particu-
lar stress on the fact that the mem
hers of the merchants association were
almost unanimous in their wish to con-
tinue the payment of the voluntary
tax, providing the shippers wharf
committee was organized in manner
which would allow what we considered
fair representation from the contribu-
tors.
AT this meeting, the shippers wharf
committee expressed their willingness
to invite the appointment of three of;
fetal representatives of the merchants
association, after which the meeting
adjourned, with the understanding that
a further meeting was to be held to
perfect arrangements. A few days
later, and without further discussion
the attached correspondence was ex'
changed
Your committee used every reason
| able effort to persuade the shippers
wharf committee to modify their de-
mands and it is with regret that we
have to report failure to bring the
matter to what we consider a salts
factory conclusion. Rather than t.
make any suggestions at this time, W,
respectfully lay the mater before the
association for such action as it may
deem necessary. s.

selves fortunate in securing place

OF easily being adapted to the tenn
porary needs of the court and the re
quirements of Nthe officials.
The courtroom will be ON the side
away from Fort street. The building
is one of the best constructed in the
town and it will be put in thorough
condition for the uses required There
will have to be number of important
/ alterations and it is expected that worl
upon those win be rushed now that Mr.
Mickersham has officially approved Of
the lease being entered into.
Governor Frear was asked yesterday
afternoon when it was likely that Ia,

troit Nearly all had certified checks
to cover the necessary deposit to Sc

CADILLAC HOLDS UP
WELL AFTER LONG SERVICE

The Cadillac Motor Car Company is
in receipt Of an interesting BIT OF in
formation from e. c. Hall, the Cadil-
lac dealer at Brownwood. Texas, of
which the principal feature is the
longevity Of a Cadillac car.
Mr.. Hall says that about eight
years ago he bought a single cylinder
Cadillac-one of the first built--and
put it into livery service. He had to
travel from Texas to Chicago to get
the car, for Of course in those days
automobile dealers we're not SO num-
erous as now.
After this car had been in use some
eighteen months Mr.. Hall sold II for
$400. The man who bought it put Il
into what a Texan calls road work 8"
That was more than six years ago.
Mr.. Hall says he recently came across
this car, which is still doing road
work. He asked the price II he
should care to buy, and was told
that he could have It for Just what
he sold Il for; namely, s400, IN spite
Of the fact that the car is eight years
old and has been IN active use all Of
that time.

EDUCATING
AUTO USERS
Hudson Company Local Agent
Finds People Know About
Cars

"The advertising campaign that
several Of the big automobile COM
panies have carried on lately has been
a liberal education for the automobile
buying public" said a member OF the
firm Of the Bradford Company, the
local dealers in Hudson cars.
People coming in 20 buy cars know
the whole story now. Right off the
reel they ask us If the Hudson has
enclosed valves, cylinders cast en-
bloc, combined fan and fly wheel and
other up-to-date improvements. They
even know the practice among Euro
pean designers and In fact, are right
up on motor car mechanics. That's
a good sign. II means the elimination
of cars that are not up to the min
ute. That is, an out-of-date design
will not be tolerated by the buying
public today any more than Merry
Widow hats would be.
THE women are gaining motor lore
at a fast rate, too They understand
the general mechanics OF the cars and
the coming season are going TO drive
more than In the past.

STANDARDIZATION
CARS in DEMAND
Has Earned Reputation Of
Standing Up Well After
Long Service

Work on the new showrooms and
garage of the stoddard-Dayton Auto
Company on Orange street above
Tenth is progressing, and when It is
finished it will be one Of the finest
show rooms hereabout. The company
is desirous Of getting into its enlarg-
ed quarters and the contractors will
hasten work.
The stoddard-Dayton car has leap
ed to the front in the estimation Of
Wilmingtonians. and justly so. Not
only Is it beautiful car in appear
ance, bubbling over with the quality
of refinement, but the Stoddard-Day-
ton has earned a reputation for stand
ing up and getting over the route and
back that appeals to the discriminate
ing buyer. That accounts for the great
increase in sales recently. The Stod-
dary-Dayton line is varied enough to
meet the wishes of any buyer as 10
