aggressive dealer with his eyes open, who wants to get
ahead, has a great chance here.
He must measure up to a high standard.
Many dealers in the HUDSON'S Big Family will freely
and proudly tell you they never realized that such organ
ization was possible.
They will tell you their business has grown, that they
have become bigger and broader merchants as a result.
The Value of An Idea
Napoleon furnished white CATERS to his volunteers.
Conscripted soldiers were required to wear black
CATERS. No soldier wanted to bear the disgrace symbol OF
the black gaiter.
That idea resulted in more than a million volunteers
to the French army. 1t was an idea.
Last September the Hudson Motor Car Company
adopted the self starter. People had talked about it. One
or two makers were already ~equipping their cars with
self starters.
But the manner in which the DSON heralded its
self starter did more to start the self starter demand than
anything else.
Who created the demand for simplicity
Who made dust proof" cars necessary
Who established the impression that quality Is mora
important than price2
Who taught the public to understand that cars bought
at a discount were unsafe because service could never be
given with thcm2
The answer to all these questions is HUDSON.
Ideas that make for the advancement OF HUDSON
dealers are never lacking. Someone who has had just
the experience and who has the peculiar ability required. is
always prepared to show the ways to sell cars, and point
out the money making way to the dealer.

Henry H. Classic. chairman of the

merce, which is to make an investiga-

in Washington, will call a meeting for

said today that the meeting would be
for organizati ton purposes and that the
whole subject would later be examined.
Every facility will be furnished, Mr..

to give the committee information. The
investigation will be fair to all con-
cerned and the telephone company will
have ample opportunity to place its
side before the investigators.
Comparisons between the service and
rates In Washington and in other cities
will be made and every effort made. 1t
was said, to give to the chamber full
information upon which to base any
conclusions 1t may reach. Upon the
basis of the committees findings the
chamber will decide whether 1t is ad-
visable to ask an independent company

Cuban Murderer Tells JUS

Want Another Trial.

Rather than remain in Jail until
September 13. the date set for his ex-

before than date.
Gonzales, who cut his wifes throat

against the heat. with a curse and
profanity to the court. the murderer
told Justice Anderson when he was
sentenced that he didn't want a new
trial, and since then has been impa-
tient to meet his fate.
The condemned man murdered Mad
cline Gonzales only a few days after
his release from Sing Sing prison. He
made the plea of insanity at his trial
recently and created unusual scenes
by his feiRning. The death warrant
has been sent TO the superintendent
Of the Washington Asylum Jail, and

mended such action.
1t is likely William II. Sabens. a for

COLORED MAN HELD
AS SHOE THIEF
Asked to Be Allowed to Finish
Book When Ar
rested.

The squad room at Police Headquar-
ters resembled a retail shoe store today,
while detectives were putting tags on a
large quantity of expensive footwear
which William McDougal a young col
ored man. Is accused OF stealing from
his former employer, Arthur Burt. shoe
dealer. at 1343 F street northwest.
According to the police McDougal has
gone into the shoe business on his own
account. and was running strong COM
petition with his employer, the colored
mans chief handicap being that delivery
facilities made 1t difficult for him to
dispose of more than one pair OF shoes
at time.
McDougal was the most unconcerned
prisoner who has been taken In custody
in some time. When Detectives Grant,
Messer and Fortney brought him to
headquarters. where he was confronted
with twenty pairs of shoes he is alleged
to have stolen. McDougal looked at
them a moment and then sat down in a
chair and asked the detectives to leave
him alone while he finished a dime
novel" in which he was interested.
According to the detectives. who say
McDougal admits the charge against
him, the colored man was frequently
sent to take shoes from the store to a
cobbler for repairs. Whenever he made
one of these trips, II is charged. he
would take pair of shoes out of stock
put them in the bag with the pair to be
taken to the Coblers, and then take
the new shoes to second hand stores
where he would dispose OF shoes that
ordinarily sold for S and 81 pair for
81. Several charges of petit larceny will
be preferred against the prisoner.

PRESIDENT URGED
BY SENATORS TO
SIGN CANAL BILL
Taft Would Have Supreme
Court Decide Its Agree
ment With Treaty.

Senator's Brandegee. Chamberlain, n,
and Jones, and Congressman Sherley,
led the van guard of legislators who
urged the President to sign the Pan
anna canal bill. They are OF the opin-
ion that Mr.. Taft should sign the
measure and then have Congress put
through concurrent resolution al
lowing foreigners to bring suits in
United States courts in case they
believe they have been Disseminated
against.
This procedure has been agreed up
on to .obviate any basis for foreign
not in conformity with the Hay
PaunCefote treaty.
Following a conference with mem
bers of his Cabinet yesterday, the
President was still OF the opinion
that the best way to test the bill's s
agreement with the treaty was to
have the Supreme Court pass upon it.
Although he does not approve of
many features Of the bill the Presi-
cent probably will sign It and in a
Congress urging that provision be
made for legal test of the matter
Of passage of American ships through
the canal.
Mr.. Taft has been told that it is
probably too late now to amend the
bill and that any action he may take
must be in the form of a veto unless
he can get Republican and Democratic
leaders to agree on a joint resolution
which would show that the United
States had no intention in passing the
measure OF abrogating the existing
treaty with rGeat Britain. Such a
measure would permit foreign coun-
tries to test the acts validity.

ion of service is under the Treasury
Department, and a report must be had
from that department before the Senate
committee will act Senator Myers an
ticipates no difficulty in obtaining a
speedy and favorable report on the
claim. AS soon as. this report Is filed,
which may not be later than tomorrow,
the Senate committee in charge of the

opposition to the bill. 1t can be passed
through both houses of Congress very
speedily, and even If Congress adjourns

CONFEREES DECIDE
ON ONE BATTLESH|P
IN NAVAL MEASURE
Senate Members Of Board
Agree to House Plan for
Eight Submarines.

The long struggle over the building
program in the naval bill was practi-
cally ended today when the House and
Senate conferees met and agreed on one
battleship and eight submarines.
This amounts to a concession to the
Senate in the matter Of battleships and
concession to the House in respect to
submarines. The House at first fouLht
against any battleships. and finally con-
sented to one. It wanted eight sub
marines. The Senate wanted two bat
tleships and no submarines. The Senate
yielded on the submarines and the
House meets the Senate half way on
battleships.
The outcome is considered a triumph
by the friends of greater navy. 1t is
expected both houses will accept the
conference report.
The battleship authorized by the con-
ferees Is one of sSandard size, and not
the dreadnaught proposed In ths House.
The auNiliaries provided for in the bill
CONSIST of two colliers and one machine
boat. These were provided for In the
House bill. Six torpedo boats also are
provided for, as in the House measure.

McGraw was with the old Baltimore

Willow Grove, Md. one day to play
ball with a team from the lunatic asy-

been short on some things. but they
were long on baseball knowledge, and
1t was quite a game

team was man with the odd delusion

Now, II happened that one of the at

fiiction, and when the game was going
along very nicely, let chicken loose
from a crate. The fowl gave a loud
cackle, and off went the lunatic at
high speed for the shelter of the asy-
ium. McGraw happened to be in the
mans path, and when he saw the
lunatic running at top speed he thought
he was pursuing him.
1T was "a great race. McGraw got
all the way to the asylum before he
found out that the lunatic was not
chasing him. When he got back 10

were laughing at him"
