Capitals We Have Had.

IT Is asserted sometimes that the
United States has had I'VE capitals,
but the statement is not correct. The
United States has had but three cap
itals- New York, Philadelphia and
Washington In the period preceding
the Adoption OF the constitution no
place was legally constituted capital.
In \ loose and unofficiaI sense 1t Is pos
sible to describe as capital any city
which was the seat Of government.
Taking the sessions Of the Continental
congress as establishing seat Of gov
eminent In the Revolution and the
confederation. the following cities
may loosely rank as capitals: Phila
delphia. Baltimore. Lancaster. York,
Princeton, Annapolis. Trenton and
New York. The articles OF confedera-
ton were passed by congress in Phil
adelphia. ana the federal convention
charged to prepare constitution con-
vened at the same place.

NEW ENGINE ON EXHIBITION
Silent Valve Motor at Hotel Astor
Has Much to Commend.

Nothing In the way Of novelty In motor
construction is likely TO create more COM
ment than the silent valve engine. which is
being exhibited on the meZzanine floor OF
the Hotel Astor. Much OF the fascination
OF show season for the mechanically in
clined. lies in the radical examples OF con-
struction. and in this new engine is prin-
ciple that differs materially from all that
has been on display since the automobile
exhibitions opened.
The striking feature Of the silent valve
motor is that It differs little from the ordi-
nary poppet valve machine. The difference,
in fact. is solely in the valves. and II Is
claimed that the new type, after exhaus-
tive tests, has shown itself to be superior
TO the ordinary form Of engine
In brief. the silent valve engine Is or
the usual four-cycle. or compression type
II has two pairs of cylinders, water jack
eted value seat being cast integral with
each pair Each set Of cylinders is operated
by a single conical, tapered rotary VaNe'
located within the seats. The VaIVes are
pear.d nj one-duarter the crank shaft
speed and are provided with inlet ana eH-
haust ports to carry each OF the cylinders
through the four cycles.
It will readily be seen that the tapered
shape OF the valve removes at once the
objection that engineers have been labor
ing with in the endeavor to use rotary
valves. The actuating mechanism auto
rratically takes care of adjustment OF the
valves. thereby compensating for any
va sriation in size due TO heat expansion or
wear. The engine is said to be not only
silent, but to be Of high thermal emclenGy einr
,.rtNh IL,
ard the elimination Of parts allows OF
itartIino compactness in construction.

AUTO SHOW FOR RUSSIA.

Baku is going to hold an automobile

Baku is a thriving Russian port on the

To those who have gathered their ideas
Of Russian roads from the descriptions OF
Tolstoy. Turgenieff ct al, automobiling in

Says Mr.. Neal.
BY Thomas Neal. President General Motors

Covering a period Of ten years. the motor
driven commercial vehicle has been devel-
pping to a greater or less degree as a side
line TO the pleasure car. The realization OF
the important place that the motor truck
was 10 occupy in the automobile industry
and in the great world of commerce has
come slowly. There was necessarily an era

manufactures ana to the early users OF
trucks That time is past. and the motor
truck Is here. standing Oh its own base en-
tirely apart from the passenger automobile,
and applicable 10 the haulage and delivery
requirements of every line Of business
The manufacture OF motor trucks is a
highly specialized business requiring the
highest order Of engineering ability and The
most exhaustive research, to the end that
various types may be produced TO exactly
fit the complexty Of requirements and con-
ditions of modern business. The builder
who is content to produce only one model
or one type Of truck must necessarily con-
fine himself TO the restricted market Of
the comparatively few lines Of business
which his product will serve. Only con-
cern Of large resource with ample capital
TO finance large manufacturing operations
and TO maintain efficient selling and service
organizations, can go into the motor truck
business In a broad way.
Financial solidity of the manufacturer is
really the paramount issue IN the sale Of
trucks. Business men cannot afford to in
vest in delivery equipments where there Is
lacking that assurance Of permanency that
implies the manufacturer ability TO give
the service that the purchaser must have

TIMELY BITS Of SPORT
st. Louis Cardinals Lose Salmon
to Philadelphia Athletics.
VIEWS OF JOHNSON BOUT
Conflicting Opinions as to His
Fight with Jim Flynn for
Worlds Title.

]. r. Salmon. the brilliant young pitcher
who entered Princeton last fall. but left
college TO join the professional ranks, Will
play with the Athletics this year. In
fnding handed down yesterday the Ma
tional Commission denied the claim OF the
st. Louis club OF the National League 10
Salmon. and decided that title TO the player
was vested In the Philadelphia club of the
American League.
Bresnahan contended that he negotiated
the young player. and that he Joined the
81. Louis club at Brooklyn and practised
with the Cardinals the latter part OF last
season. Bresnahan declared that the sal
ary TO be paid young Salmon had been
agreed on, but that upon the representa-
tions OF the elder Salmon that his son had
promised 10 pitch for an independent team
for the rest OF the season and the further
plea that IL he played with the St Louis
club he would be ineligible TO pitch for the
Princeton University team, he was excused
with the understanding that he was to re-
mort 10 the ST. Louis club IN case he did not
remain at college.
The commission found that the negotia-
tions between Bresnahan and the player
and his father were conducted In good
faith. but that neither formal nor a writ
ten contract had been entered into, The 81
Louis club also failed TO reserve him. This
entitled Salmon to be declared free agent
and eligible to sign contract with the
Philadelphia club.
The commission dismissed the appeal OF
Harry Martin, who requested that de-
c,sion Of the National Board disallo"ing
his salary claim OF s2l7 against the Central
League be reversed. The appeal OF Jay
Parker from the ruling Of the National
BOARD denying his claim for N2O against

GREAT l5OO-ME-
TER RACE

STOCKHOLM, July 10.-The 1 800.
meter run, which, excepting the Mar
athon, is the blue-ribbon event of the
Olympiad, was lost this afternoon to
America by such a narrow margin
that the day will always be remem-
bered as one of disaster in. our ath-
letic annals.
To Arnold Jackson of Oxford be-
longs the distinction of beating the
four Americans-Mel Sheppard, Nor
man Aaber, Abel Kiviat and John
Paul Jones, known as the fastest mil
ers in the world, the last-named be-
ing the worlds reeord-holder. Al
though a green youth, this being his
first season in racing, Jackson alone
has succeeded in saving the English
team from the disgrace which threat
ened it at the hands of the American
team.
It's what we call a blanket finish,
for a very small blanket could have
covered all three leaders at the tape.
Indeed, it took fifteen minutes to
know who got second place, Kiviat or
Taber. The camera was the deciding
factor. This instrument, used for the
first time in these games, was very
small affair. placed on a pedestal at
the line The pistol that starts the
race automatically sets the plate, and
the breaking of the tape flashes the

thur, Frank Baldwin'si Dandy and

Oahu's best, in short brushes for the
ball
Collins Valuable. T.
OF the players themselves, Arthur
Collins is comparatively new to tour
nament play, but the others have all
had plenty of experience in interisland
matches. Collins showed the other day
that he can collar his man and give
him hustling ride-off. Whether he
can put player like Arthur Rice, who
is some hustler himself, out of the
game, remains to be seen. i do not
believe that he will seriously bother
the local back. Collins is to be reck-
oned with as goal-getter, though. as
he is said to be the surest shot on the
team.
David Fleming is one of those play
ers who can always turn on his best
when it's most needed. and he can be
counted on to keep the ball moving
toward the Oahu goal lot of the time.
Frank Baldwin is the slugger of the
aggregation, and on his play the uphill
goal and the wind have less effect than
on most of the hitters. He is very
clever at centering the ball, and great
ly increases his teams chances to score
by this accurate and timely hitting.
Harold Rice, Mauis No. 2. is under
the big disadvantage of stepping off
the steamer tomorrow morning, and
going onto the field without any pre-
vious practise on it. This may or may
not affect his game. It's lottery that
depends on whether he has smooth
