II NEW 1913 CADILLAC.

The 1913 models of automobiles are
making their appearance, and the class
siest car for the price for 1913 is a
Cadillac, which has for several years
been a great fayorite with AUTOMOBILE
lists in Mississippi.
The new Cadillac for 1918 is not only
classy, but it Is in a class all by itself,
and if any factory turns out a heater
or niftier machine during the coming
year it will be a profound surprise TO
I everybody acquainted with the auto
mobile industry.
Any automobilist who has ever owned
a Cadillac once never feels a desire to
experiment with any other make.
There's a reason for this, of course,
and 1t is not hard to find. The Cadillac
is an honest car, the manufacturers
give the fullest measure of value for
every dollar that the purchaser invests,
and the result is a feeling of absolute
satisfaction on the part of the n
For several years past the firm of
Henderson & Baird Hardware Com
pany, at Greenwood, n of the largest
retail and wholesale hardware houses
in the state, have been the distributors
of the Cadillac car in this territory, and
each succeeding season their allotment
of cars has always been consumed. In
other words, they have had difficulty in
getting ears fast enough to supply the
trade.
You can see a Cadillac on the streets
of this city at almost every turn of the
corner, and, even if you are not famil-
lar with types and makes of automo-
biles, it takes only a glance to see that
the Cadillac, both as to beauty and artis-
tic finish, is in a class all by itself.
The factory has unquestionably sur
passed all its competitors in simplicity
of its parts that any woman can run
one with only a few lessons. One of
the most skillful Automobiles it Jack
son is a l6-year-old girl who drives a
Cadillac, and six months ago she knew
absolutely nothing whatever about
motoring.
Another notable improvement in the
1918 Cadillac is the longer wheel base,
which makes it an easier riding car,
the very acme of luxury. The wheel
base has been increased from 116 to
100 inches, and a corresponding increase
made in the length of the rear springs.
The tires nave been increased, all de-
mountable rims, and with all the cor
responding advantages resulting there
from.
Bear in mind these are merely the
improvements of the 1918 design, as
compared with the 1912 design. The
new car retains all of the former ak
~cellent features that have made the
Cadillac so famous. The equipment
throughout is perfect and luxurious, as
that word is generally understood in
high-class automobiles, and the general
result is the most perfect automobile
of its type ever turned out from a fac,

Name Swain Speaker,

Columbus, O.-Charles l.. Swain
was selected for speaker of the
house by acclamation at the Demo
cratic caucus. Senator William Green
of Coshocton county was selected
president pro TEN of the senate.
Rev. Herbert Bigelow of Cincinnati
offered a resolution to the effect that
the caucus declare itself against ever
holding a secret meeting for the trans
action of public business and that no
secret ballot would ever be tolerated,
nor any session of any body connected
with the legislature be conducted be-
hind closed doors. The resolution was
unanimously adopted.
Governor-elect Cox told the senate
caucus that they and the state off,
cials-elect had made a promissory note
to the people of the state and said
that this note should be paid and paid
at once. He declared that this was
the greatest day in all the history of
Ohio, a day when Democrats come
into their own. He told the senator's
elect that nothing should be allowed
to interfere with the legislative pro-
gram before them, and suggested that
the sessions of the senate begin at
2 p. m. on Monday and be completed
for the week every Friday afternoon
or evening.
The house caucus adopted resolu-
ton by Representative Werns of
Holmes county that the caucus nomi-
nate at this time only the speaker,
the speaker pro TEN, the clerk and the
sergeant-at-arms and that an ad-
journed session of the caucus be held
at p. m. on Jan. 4, when nomina-
ton of such other positions as may
be found necessary can be made.
]. H. Lowry of Henry county was
nominated for speaker pro TEN.

Senators Isaac E. Huffman and
L. r. Andrews for permission to
carry to the supreme court the cases
in which they were convicted of &C
cepting bribes for their votes in the
last legislature was refused by that
court. This means that both senators

Andrews was sentenced to nine

Additions Planned for Hospitals

In carrying out it's plans to relieve
overcrowding in the State Hospitals
at Newburg and Massillon, the board
of administration shortly after the
first of the year, plans to transfer 250
patients to the Stark County institu,
tion. One new building will then be
recommended for the Newburg Hos
pital, while more extensive additions
will be made at Massillon.
The need for enlargements at both
hospitals was determined by the board
after an investigation of conditions at
the is institutions under it's super
vision.
1t was found that in all state hos
pitfalls The condition was such that a
change was imperative, while at New
burg many of the patients were sleep
ing on the floors.
The original plans concerned extern
sive additions at the Newburg Hos
pital but because of the prohibitive
price of land there the board decided
to recommend the greater enlargement
at Massillon. The plan is to make the
institution largely self-sustaining,
while at the same time, many patients
will have the benefit of open-air treat

DRAFT BILLS TO CENTRAL
IZE FIGHT.
WANT ANNUAL HEALTH DAY ESTABLISHED
Democratic Senators Caucus in coIum

the Speaker-Green Chosen
President pro tenn.

Columbus. - Tentative drafts OF
three bills centralize and make more
effective the fight being waged in
Ohio against tuberculosis have been
approved at meeting here of leaders
of the state anti-tuberculosis cam.
| paign. These bills are to be intro.
duced before the coming legislature.
One of these bills provides for an
annual health day in October when
at least one hour in every school in
the state shall be set aside for in
struction of pupils in public and per
sonal hygiene.
The second bill provides that the
county or district tuberculosis hospi-
tai authorities shall appoint at least
one visiting nurse in each county or
tuberculosis district to visit all cases.
The third contemplates preventing
county commissioners from building
tuberculosis hospitals on county in
firmary grounds, thereby centering eff
forts for relief work, in district hos
pitfalls.
In addition to approving the draft
of these bills, the conference decided
to center energies upon plan to es-
tablish a new state division of tu-
berculosis under the direction of the
state board of health. BY this means
it is planned to transfer future con-
troll of the anti-tuberculosis campaign
in Ohio to the state. The Ohio So
ciety for Prevention of tuberculosis

The proposal to create a state di-
vision of tuberculosis has received
the Endorsement of Governor-elect
James NJ Cox. 1t carries with it
reuqest for an appropriation of $685.

finance the work.

Supervisor of Public Printing CraW-
ford will recommend the erection Of a
state bindery.
He does not believe it would be wise
at this time to attempt to enact legis-
lation under the new constitutional
provision by which the state may do
its own printing. Erection of a state
printing establishment, Mr.. Crawford
says, will not be recommended now.
The state bindery is in a rented
building, and Mr.. Crawford points out
that two years rent will pay for a
new structure on the states land, and
additions may be added as growth JUS
titles. He also will recommend the
abolition of the state printing COM
mission, composed of the secretary Of
state, attorney general and auditor of
state.
This commission, Mr. Crawford de-
clares, has been of little use, because
it is compelled to rely on the state
printer for it's information about most
of the subjects upon which it must
pass. No bills can be paid without its
approval and failure to meet ties up
money of claimants with no advantage
to the state. All powers should be
lodged in the state printed, Mr.. Craw-
ford insists.

NO MONEY TRUST
j. PIERPoNT MORGAN DECLARES
CONTROL OF CASH is
IMPoSSlBiLITY.
ALL BANKS COULD NOT Do IT
Likes Competition, but Admits Com
bination Gives Him More Pleas
ure-His Deposits Are $1oo,ooo,-
OoO-Names Steel Directors.

Washington, Dec. 21.-J. Pierpont
Morgan before tho house money trust
investigating committee Thursday
declared there could be no money
trust. All the banks and all the
money in Christendom could not con
troll money. The question Of control
is personal as to money and credits
The big financier was led up to his
answer by the examination of Samuel
Untermyer, counsel for the commit
tee, who asked Mr.. Morgan II he did
not feel his vast power"
Mr.. Morgan answered that he did
not feel it. Once when the lawyer
and the witness got into a discussion
of competition and combination, Mr.
Morgan said:
I'D rather have combination than
competition. like little competi'
ton, but l like combination better.
Control Is the important thing. With,
out it you can't do thing, but no one
man could monoplize money. One
man might get control of railroads, or
merchandise, but never money and
credit"
Mr.. Morgan's declaration that there
could be no money trust" empha-
sized by vigorous bang with his fist
on the arm Of his chair, came toward
the end Of the committees session, at
which the financier testified as to
the relations of the house of Morgan
with several great corporations.
Mr.. Morgan testified that he had
approved the prices at which the sub
sidiaries of the United States Steel
corporation were taken into the big
corporation. Mr.. Untermyer asked If
he had not named the board of d.
rectors of the steel corporation, but
Mr.. Morgan only said that he might
have decided who shouldn't go on
Cant you give the committee a
statement of the deposits Of your
banking firm in New York as Of No
vember 1:~ asked Mr.. Untermyer.
Mr.. Morgan approximated 1t at
1OO,000,000.
Mr. Morgan produced, in response
to a question, copies Of the fiscal
agreements between J. P. Morgan &
Co. and the New York Central and
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad companies. Mr.. Nor
gan said that there were no other
such agreements made by his house.
He said the firm acted as fiscal agents
for other companies "by tacit agree
ment"
You are acting for a number Of
other corporations, are you not, in
cluding the United States Steel cor
poration?" suggested Mr.. Untermyer,
Eyes, but that is by resolution Of
the board of directors of the steel
corporation" said Mr.. Morgan.
As to other agreements whereby
the Morgan house became fiscal
agents for corporations, he said they
were "by word of mouth or by CORE
spondence."

BRITAIN HONORSREID
BODY OF AMERICAN AM5AssA-
DOR ESCORTED IN STATE TO
WAITING WARsHIP.
REMAINS EN- ROUTE TO U. S.
Rites at Westminster Very Impressive
Over $500 Distinguished People,
Including Royalty and Public Men
of London, Attend Ceremony.

London, Dec. 23.-The remains OF
Ambassador Whitelaw Reid were paid
the fullest honors by the British gov
eminent Saturday on their removal
from his London residence to the
British warship that is now bearing
them to the United States.
The troops escorting the gun car
riage which bore the body from Dor
chester house to Victoria station Sat
urday morning consisted OF a troop
of life guards and four companies OF
Scots guards with band and pipers,
who alternately played funeral
marches and dirges. No carriages
followed the body, which was taken
by special train to Plymouth, where
a naval guard of honor saluted the
body. A party Of seamen carried the
coffin aboard the cruiser Natal, lying
alongside a jetty.
Half way across the Atlantic the
Natal will be met by two American
warships from Nantucket. Salutes of
10 guns will be exchanged and the
American ships will escort the Natal
on the remainder of her voyage.
The memorial service for the late
Ambassador Whitelaw Reid, celebrat-
ed in Westminster abbey Friday, was
an impressive ceremony. The honor
Of such a service in Great Britain's
historic cathedral has on few occa-
sions been accorded to any but British
subjects Of great prominence. In the
congregation Of $500, which assem-
bled, nearly half were American resi-
dents in England, including the staff
Of the American embassy and con-
sulate general. Royalty, the govern
ment and every class Of public life,
with the artistic and literary worlds,
were represented.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ogden Mills Reid, the
son and daughter-in-law of the late
ambassador, arrived at Plymouth, but
the Crown Princess Cecilie docked too
late to permit of their reaching Lon
don for the service.
Wreaths from President Taft and
Secretary Of State Knox were dis
played in the abbey. Other wreaths
were from King George, Queen Mary
and Queen Mother Alexandra. The
mourners were John Hubert Ward,
son-in-law of the late ambassador; the
earl and countess of Granard, Miss
Breckenridge Of San Francisco and the
staffs of the United States embassy
and consulate general.
