footed his horn several times TO warn

Young Wise also says that as soon
as he hit DR.. Elliott he himself
jumped from the car, allowing it to
90 where it would with the result
that it landed against the fence. Rev.
Elliott was knocked against the steel
fence post. receiving a scalp wound
in the back of his head which at
once began bleeding freely.
Then Devere placed one of the car
cushions under the injured man s
head and bathed his face with cam
phor. In this he was assisted by the
mans son-in-law and several other
people. The son-in-law and young
Wise carried him into the Elliott
home and both remained at his side
for some time. A doctor after max
ing an examination said that while
the wound was serious, still he ex-
pected the preacher to recover. Rev.
Elliott seemed to be resting easily
until about ten o'clock when a eliot
of blood came over his brain and he
passed away shortly afterward.

July 12.-At about $3.50 p. m.
while driving his fathers car near
the assembly grounds at Winona,
Devere Wise struck man and killed
him He had been riding around in
Warsaw and was just about to re-
enter the park. The man was Pres

Samuel Elliott by name. He was
spending the summer at Winona lake
where he had obtained a position as
gate tender. just before the ap-

was past 60 years of age, young
Wise ran into fence and badly
damaged the car. The injured man
was taken into his home and died
last night at about ten O'Clock.

engine or a novel transmission made
up OF component parts which are
standard and well-tried out, than oae
which is not only novel in design as
a whole but one in which every
element is novel and untried.
The s. A. +. stands ready TO assist
In manufacturing difficulties aud
necessities in any OF the many COM
petent engineering fields OF automo-
bile production. AS an example, the
manufacturers of electric lighting SIS
TENS for automobiles recently applied
TO the society to take up the matter
OF standardiZing certain features Of
those systems, with particular refer
ence TO their attachment TO automo-
biles. This matter was promptly re-
ferred TO the Miscellaneous Division
OF the s. A. f. Standards Committee
for action.
President souther's Statement.
In discussing the whole subject
generally, Henry Souther, president
OF the society, recently said:
In taking up the work OF the s.
A. e. with those not closely associs.-
ed with that body, II is soon discov-
cred that many have a wrong idea OF
what form the Standardization Will
take and what II will accomplish.
Many have an idea that the forni,
the design and the shape OF large por-
tons of the machine are to be made
alike. Nothing could be farther from
the truth. Such a procedure would
throttle originality and hamper en-
cheering work There is not the
slightest danger that this would ever
be accomplished. even II 1t were at
tempted.
What is aimed at is standardiza-
ton of detail, such as screws, lock
washers, spring parts, bearing parts,
water connections, and many other
small pieces too numerous to men
ton. II has been founS that the num-
bers of these parts continue to null
tiply because each craftsman exer-
cises his ingenuity and his fancy, get
ting something out peculiar to his
own notion. There can be no pos
sible gain in originality in such de
tails as these, and II is this useless
multiplication OF parts that must be
minimized
1T will not be long now before the
beginning OF the Engineers Hand
book will be placed in the hands of
the members, and this handbook will
contain information which will be
useful in every drafting room. II will
quicken the work of the craftsman by
cutting out so much thought on use
less details. There is nothing 20
give craftsman now that is of much
service"
The machinery at the command Of
the Society of Automobile Engineers
to carry forward it's endless research
is probably not to be matched in any
engineering field. II will be remem-
bered that the society recently took
the data and records of the famous
Mechanical Branch" Of the Associe-

facturers, body of which a leading
authority lately wrote:
Its work is acknowledged today
wherever motor cars are made. The
manufacturer who commences work
today has the advantage of the titanic
efforts and the gold and blood that
were spent in perfecting the art TO
its present stage by the Mechanical
Branch"
Added to this the society Is equip
ped with the working force OF body
nonpartisan in spirit, with the stimu-
lus OF a membership increased near
ly four-fold in a year (among the re-
cent applicants for membership was
Thomas A. Edison). and with the I'M
selfish driving enthusiasm OF a per
sonnet composed of the first qualified
authorities of the day
II will be readily seen from the
foregoing that the moter car, in the
past 10 years, has undergone a won
derful evolution and that there Is
still room for Improvement. The ad
vent of the modern motor car marke,
the beginning OF the horseless age
and until the airship becomes prac
teal, IL that time ever comes, the
automobile will stand as the greatest
achievement OF modern times

PAINTS FOR AUTOS.
Has Developed Into Big Industry In
Detroit In Few Years.

Detroit In Few Years.
The making OF paints for the auto
mobile trade has developed into bis
industry in Detroit. The yearly pro
duct of this department of different
paint works in the city has shown ar
increase of about 500 per cent in the
past Ave years. The growth in this
branch of the big factories has also
given employment to a large adj
ditional force of men, some plants
having doubled their number Of EN-
ployes.
About all the colors of the rainbow
are used for the painting of automo-
biles, some factories having adopted
blue, others red and some white and
black as the distinctive shades for
their cars. II is high-grade of paint
which is used on the autos, too, no
ordinary house mixture being adopt
ed. About the same ingredients
which go into the mixture for house,
painting are used for the auto trade
but the ingredients are put through q
special process of publication before
being mixed for use on the auto For
house paints no special preparation IL
applied to the ingredients, they being
mixed in their raw form.

exhibits. In 1906, the Association or
Licensed Automobile Manufacturers

long lease of the Madison-sq. garden.
forcing the A. c. A. to seek other
quarters for exhibition purposes. That
same year the American Motor Car
Manufacturers association took a
hand in the game. and held a most
successful exhibition In the Grand
Central palace, New York, in con-
junction with the Automobile Club OF
America.
The cars shown in the early exhib-
it's were, for the most part. curious
monsters OF small utility" and al
most prohibitiye price, whereas the
cars shown nowadays, represent 1.-The
crystalized development of 10 years
in the history OF mechanical growth.
The primitive motor cars were weak.
ungainly. treacherous and mechanical
ly unreliable. whereas the modern car
has strength, reliability and certainty
combined with graceful lines.
Nearly Half Million Cars In Use.
To accurately estimate the number
OF automobiles OF all descriptions now
In use in the United States is rather
difficult task Based on the number
OF licenses issued by the various
states, the number. as nearly as II
can be figured is about 440, 729. New
York leads with 57,779. New Jersey
is next with 34,07S. Other states we'll
up toward the top are: Ohio, 32,460;
Pennsylvania. 32,722; Illinois, 27,S7S;
Massachusetts, $4,000; Michigan, 90
900; Missouri, 1860; Nebraska, 49,.
0l9 and Kansas. 1890.
Scattered through the United States
are 37S automobile plants, as com
pared with 234 year ago, and Mich
igan leads all the state with a total of
81 plants. Following are the figures
by states:

The total number OF plants devoted
to the manufacture OF automobiles,

ton is 11,l65 by very conservative
estimates. What this means in wages
and in the general prosperity of the
country it is impossible to reduce to

How Auto Has Improved.

The first few years OF the modern
automobile were disconcerting IN
many respects, due to the influence
OF the rigs that were pulled by horses,
and to the fact that the patrons OF
the industry, while they knew nothing
whatever about the building of auto
mobiles, felt quite satisfied that II
they could not have a horse in front
they should have something else,
says Automobile. These same pa
irons, not being satisfied that the
something" would be provided by
the makers OF influence, were much
inclined to furnish the necessary i'm
petus, and ii is feared that some OF
them really succeeded in getting what
they thought they wanted. The echo
of 1t all sounds too discordant to lend
the impression that these patrons
were content.
I'm the course of time the builders
of automobiles were able to convince
growing clientele that 1t was not
necessary for a buyer to advise the
makers In the customary mechanical
ways, and the principles which under
lie business in general taught these
makers how to maintain the integrity
OF their investment. and to disregard
suggestions. however good they mt;ht
prove to be In the long run, insofar
as they might upset the plans in pro-
cess and become inharmonious.
1T Is a little difficult TO get the
American user into the state of mind
which will permit him TO clearly APP
preciate the fact that an idea, how
ever good IL serves In France, for IL
lustration. might be valueless i'm Am
erica, and that a scheme which at
tracts the notice of the German may
be obnoxious for a hundred reasons
when Il Is transplanted, and that the
heavy construction of the English car,
although IL is intended to portray sta
bility, has nothing much to recon-
mend II when the weight must be car
ried on pneumatic tires over the ups
and downs OF American roads.
THE American designers, while
they have had many opportunities to
copy the expressions OF the automo-
bile art as they come from other
lands. have been compelled to take
cognizance of experience, and one OF
the misfortunes OF the time is en-
tirely due to the narrowed field OF
vision of the used as compared with
the many opportunities to see from
the vantage point OF the designer The
American idea is winning out; where
It had ten friends yesterday il has a
thousand today, and when the tomor-
row of the automobile industry comes,

in chateaux in foreign lands. and their
enmity will be bitter In proportion as
their experience is broad.
Standardization the Trend Today.
"A few years ago, when the Ii
censed Association of Automobile
Manufacturers was instituted for pur-
poses which seemed to the members
to be beneficial, their deliberations
soon led them to reach the conclu-
sion that the problems involved should
be amplified and that the path to the
final Standardization OF the automo-
bile should be blazed The first move
in this direction eliminated in the

Union and Nonunion Insurance Squab-
BILE Referred.

The union" and ''nonunion'' fire in
surance companies doing business in
Kansas have held two hearings before
the superintendent of insurance this
week without reaching a compromise
or a conclusion in their controversy.
The superintendent will confer with
the attorney general before making a
decision between the warning COM
panies. Superintendent Lewis said to-
day that in his opinion there should be
a uniform rate of commission estab-
lished by all companies in the state.
The union companies in Kansas
have fixed rate of commission that
is alleged to be less than that paid by
the nonunion companies. The result
was that the nonunion companies got
the bulk of the best business from the
agents. The union companies with
drew their agencies from agents that
handled nonunion companies. The
matter was referred by both factions
to the superintendent of insurance and
has not yet been settled by that official.
Attorney General Dawson's opinion
has been asked, and the superintend-
ent and the attorney general will con-
fer and the former hand down de-
cision in the near future

NEGROES TO Have BANK
This Was Determined at Meeting Last
Night.

A new state bank financed by the
colored people of Topeka VIII be or
ganized possibly by the end of next
week This bank with a capital of
$4,000 will select a good site in the
business section of the city and begin
business about the first of September.
The plans for the new state bank
have been discussed among the colored
people of the Weather class in the
city for some time. At a meeting of
the colored people at the st. John s
Methodist Episcopal church last night
when a branch of the National Negro
Business league was organized the
bank proposition was settled among
the men who are behind it, although
no public announcement was made.
The negroes in Topeka behind the
movement have been kept secret until
the formal announcement is made. A
large number of the 5000 colored pop

STOPS A WEDDING.
VIM. Williams Arrested for Raising
Check Almost at Altar.

William Williams much anticipated
wedding trip was suddenly nipped in
the bud when an officer arrested Will
liams on charge of raising a check
from SIS to SIS. Williams was to
have married Mary Nicholson,
promising widow, who lives east of
Topeka. Both had bought their we'd
ding toys and were preparing for a
trip to Kansas City when arrested.
For several months Williams was
employed at the G. G. Burton dairy
farm near Topeka. Recently he began
paying attention to Mrs. Nicholson and
they planned to be married this even
ing. Neither Williams nor his fancee
showed signs of undue remorse because
of the interference of the law. They
asserted that they viii vet carry out
their plans and become husband and
wife.
When Williams was arrested, a credi-
tor attached two suitcases filled with
clothes and another creditor took
charge of $40 in cash which the young
farmer nad in his pockets.

Bootleggers Keep Liquor Far From

Suit Against Attorney General This
Afternoon.

1t is expected that the mandamus

The governor has asked the attorney
general to summon J. E. House a news
paper man, as q witness to tell what he
knows about violations of the prohibit
tory law The attorney general has so
far refused. Notwithstanding that J. z.
House sent out letters over his sigma

leging that he knew of club that sold
liquor over the bar. the attorney gen.
erai questions the right of the COVER
nor to direct him at all in regard to
violations of the law. The governor
wants the opinion of the supreme court

constitution. The court will likely pass
upon this case when it convenes again
early in the fall after the summer va
cation.
