DEWAR TROPHY
Goes TO NAPIER

Advices just received from England
announce the award for 1910 of the
most interesting of all trophies-thatl
established FIVE years ago by Sir
Thomas r. Dewar-to the six-cylindeT
65 h. p. Napier for a nonstop run
from London to Edinburgh and return
with a gasoline consumption of 1885
miles to the gallon.
When the Dewar trophy was given
it will be recalled that the donor stip-
ulated that it was to be awarded each
year for the officially observed motor
car test which should, in the opinion
of the technical committee of the
Royal Automobile Club, reveal the
greatest merits in the twelve.month.
In 1906 the trophy went to the Den
mis- firm for a 1000 mile road trial;
in 1907 to the Rolls Royce Company
for a $4,000 nonstop road trial; in
1908 to the Cadillac of Detroit for
Standardization test; in 1909 to the
Daimler for a 132-hour running test
on the bench for sleeve valve engines,
followed by a 1000 mile speed contest
on the Brooklands track.
There is patriotic interest for
Americans in the fact that the Cadil-
lac is the only native car which has
ever. won the Dewar trophy and that
the four other awards have all been
made to cars of very high horse pewer
rating and high price.
In commenting on this phase of the
history of the trophy, the London Tat
Ter in it's last issue said: "The Cadil'
lac Standardization test, when three
cars were chosen from stock at ran
dom, dismantled, the parts mixed up
some withdrawn, equivalent ones sup
piled from stock, the whole then di
vided into three parts and three cars
reassembled with only a spenner and
no files for making fits, was test OF
Standardization and manufacture with
out a parallel to this day."

MONGOOSE HEADS
In Jamaica there is a premium on
the head of every mongose. Like the
English sparrow, the Indian mongoose
was imported TO Jamaica to drive
out snakes, but the agent became, in
tam, pest itself, and the mongoose,
in addition to killing snakes, killed
chickens and practically every small
thing that came within is reach. Con-
sequently, is doom was sealed and
a price set Jpn it's head. The Unit.

announcement
OF 1872 PACkARDS

In announcing its 1912 line of cars,
the Packard Motor Car Company of
Detroit supplements its well estab.
lished Packard go" and rs" with a |
Packard six" This new Packard,
like the others, is made in a variety
of open and enclosed styles so there
is complete line in each of the three
sizes.
On account of its adaptability to a
wide range of conditions, the go"
remains the standard car, the "Six'
being added to meet the demands OF
those who seek more speed and power
than is practicable in a four-cylinder
car of universal utility.
in all three skies the chassis is of
typical Packard construction with de-
tail refinements in line with the com.
pany's policy of developing a certain
type each succeeding year. In the
1912 cars, the clutch is combined with
the motor by encasing both the clutch
and fly wheel in a rigid extension of
the crank case. BY this change all
parts are protected and the rear
bearing of the clutch shaft is per-
manently lined up with the motor.
Inasmuch as there is a rigid rear
axle until comprising the transmission
final drive and differential gears the
entire motive and transmission ele-
ments are in two units without any in
termediate mechanism.
In each size there is a standard
chassis adaptable, with slight varia.
tons, to wide variety of styles in
open and enclosed bodies. The bod
les of the six" and $50" are inter
changeable.
The price of the standard Packard
800 touring car, in standard equip
ment, which includes top, is $4,000
The price of the Packar six" touring
car in standard equipment is $4,000
and the price of the Packard "1S'
town car is $3,2OO
The line of body types includes;
touring car, phaeton, close-coupled
runabout, limousine and landaulet, i'm
perial limousine and landaulet
brougham and coupe.
The four cylinder motor of the
Packard $50" is of 5-inch bore by 51a.
inch stroke. 1t develops forty horse
power at the A. L. A. NJ. rating. The
six-cylinder motor of the Packard
six" is of 41a-inch bor&. by 5K-inct
stroke and it develops forty-eight
horsepower, A. L. A. NJ. rating. The
four-cylinder motor of the Packard
49, is of 4 1-16-inch bore by 5%-incl
stroke, and develops twenty-six horse
power, A. L. A. M. rating.
The wheel base of the Packard
six" touring car is 1873 inches; o
the $50" touring car, 1889 inches, an,
of the rs" open car, 112, inches. Run
about and phaeton chassis on the diff
ferent models vary correspondingly
The tires on both the six" and the
"90' are thirty-seven by five inches
in the rear and thirty-six by four an(
one-half inches in the front. The tires
of the "1S" are thirty-four by four
front and rear.
The standard trimming of all mod
els is Packard blue body panels, blacl
bonnet, tenders, cts, and Packard
gray wheels and running gear.

WILL USE LORIMER CASE AS
ARGUMENT FOR DIRECT VOTE
6ristoW Believes States Should Decide
Whether Senators Shall BE
Chosen by People.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The Lori
mer election scandal will be used in
the senate as an argument to force &C
ton on the Bristow resolution provid'
ing that a constitutional amendment
for the direct election of senators be
submitted to the states.
Following several conferences il
was announced yesterday that the ad-
vocates Of the measure believed the
time is at hand for its passage. Since
it has become apparent that the Lori
mer bribery charges are TO be given a
thorough airing, many believe that a
rare opportunity is offered for abolish
ing the present system.
IF we can succeed" said Senator
Bristow rep, Kas), lin having pass
ed the resolution submitting to the
states constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the election Of senators by
popular vote. IL will make this session
of congress one OF the most import
ant in recent years.
1T was the original intention OF the
trainers of the constitution TO have the
presidents and vice-presidents select
ed by electoral colleges composed OF
of by direct vote of the people. The
evolution of our institutions has multi
fed the purpose OF the trainers Of the
constitution and for more than half n
century the people have been electing
presidents by direct vote.
The time has come when the peo-
pie. In my judgment, are demanding
that the constitution be so amended as
TO give them opportunity Of express
ing their direct choice In the election
of senator's, too.
With such an amendment in the
constitution the Lorimer case and
ether similar scandals never could be
repeated

eral months ago. in the family home.
Manslaughter is the charge in both
cases. Alexander killed his wife
when they were in their home alone.
He admits that he held the revolver
when II was discharged, but makes
the claim that the shooting was ac-
cidental. He says she was attempt.
ing to take it from him. and that 1t
vas discharged accidentally. Alex.
ander was convicted by jury in
Judge Mandelrs court, several months
ago, and sentenced to 10 years in
Jackson. His case was appealed to

been examined as TO their qualihca-
tons. Their examination was started

Guided before noon The work of get
ting jury for the case of Mrs. Govare
was then taken up. II is expected

will be short
w. n. Miller. Of Mt. Clemens, for
mer newspaper man. who is attending
the trial for Mt. Clemens newspaper.
says that the general feeling in and
around Mt Clemens is that both Mrs.
Govare and Benny will be acquitted.
1t Is felt" said Mr.. Miller, that
the shooting of the sheriff was a mis-
take; that there was no intention on
the part of Mrs. Govare or the son
to kill the sheriff when he called at
the Govare home"
Sheriff Matthews was shot and kill
ed when he demanded admittance to
the'home of the Govares in Harrison
township, Macomb county, near Mt.
Clemens. He had called to see August
Govare, head of the family, i'm regard
to complaint which had been made
against him In regard to his alleged
cruel treatment OF some live stock.
Govare was not at home. and when the
sheriff raped on the door and sought
admission Mrs Govare told her son,
Benny. to discharge q shotgun through
the door, thinking. she says. that the
caller was burglar. The shot struck
the sheriff in the head and he died
within few hours.
There was strong feeling in Mt.
Clemens against Mrs. .Goyare and Ben
ny for few days, because of the
killing of the sheriff, but Ii soon died
out, and Mrs. Miller. the Mt. Clemens
newspaper man who is attending the
trial. says that the defendants would
have been given as fair a trial In Mt.
Clemens as they could possibly re-
ceive anywhere.
Mrs. Govare presented a pathetic
appearance as she sat in the court
room. She wore an expression OF
grief and her rather shabby attire
added to the gloom
Beside Mrs. Govare sat Mrs. Sodone
Lena, widow, of Mt. Clemens, who
is warm friend of the accused wo.
