DOINGS IN THE AUTO WORLD
American Motorcar Output 1913 Double That of Past Year-One Hundred and Thirty Two Millions Expended For Good Roads During 1912-United States Leads in Use of Motor Trucks.

The tremendous output of the American manufacturers of pleasure cars, estimated by the best authorities at from 25O.00O to 2S5.O00 for 1912, bales into insignificance beside the figures for the 1913 output as gathered by the Automobile Trade Journal of Philadelphia, a well known authority in the automobile industry.
 These statistics show that the out put of American cars will be doubled this coming year: 600,000 cars are to be built, a greater increase in one year than has been made during the past 10 years.
 Statements received from 109 motor car manufacturers whose output for 1913 will be 564,650 pleasure cars show that if the expectations of the motor car manufacturers are realized there will be over 600,000 cars built for 1913.
 For in addition to the 109 above mentioned there are 31 large factories and 37 small ones which did not fur nish the number of cars they propose to make. and to these must also be added the electric pleasure cars. The following is a very conservative esti- mate of the 1913 output of pleasure cars:

That America feacs ali other coun- tries in the application of the motor truck is the report of William P. Ken nedy after a two months trip to England and France, where he visited the principal cities and made a careful study of motor truck conditions.
 An American visiting Europe quick ly notes the lack Of motor trucks in London and Paris" declared MT. Ken nedy. Many of the trucks in and around London are steam trucks hay ing large smokestacks in front and almost always used in conjunction with a trailer. The British govern ment in the mail delivery service are mere progressive; they use gasoline trucks.
 "The merchants in our eastern cities are far in advance of the foreign mer- chants in the application of the motor truck. Executives and merchants in tereSted in the development of the mo- tor truck abroad readily admit that they are watching our progress with great interest, believing that we are world beaters in the application of the motor truck. just as we have proven to be in the manufacture of motor cars in quantity"

 The number of motor vehicles now Tn use in London far exceeds the total number of horse drawn conveyances of all kinds. According to statistics recently published by The Power Wag- on, there are from 50 to SO automo- piles to every horse cab or carriage, while among vehicles operated for bus mess purposes the ratio is even great CT, the motor buses, for example, out numbering the horse buses PIP to 1. From the results of seven yearly cen suses taken at a point on Edgeware road, one of the main routes leading out of London, it was observed that the number of motor buses has in creased from Al in 1906 to 233S in 1912, while the number of horse buses during the same period dropped from IT'S to II. In other words. the motor buses have shown an increase of more than 425 per cent, while the number of horse buses has decreased no less than 94 per cent. In the same time. taxicabs have risen In numbers from 10 to 1862.
 The method now commonly used for figuring depreciation in motor trucks and cars charge is to deduct from the first cost of the machine the cost of the tires. and also, in the case of an electric, the cost of the clements of the battery, which are renewed from year to year, and to take as the an- nual depreciation charge the remain der divided by the assumed life of the car. For example, if the car com plete costs $4,O0Q, including s400 for

Washington, Feb. Following an

President Taft's cabinet today, it be-
came known that the proposed nomin-
alton of Judge VIM. c. Hook of Kan
sas, to the supreme court had been
held up and probably would not be

Taft had intended.
According to Kansas men at the
White House today, the latest pro-
tests against Judge Hook have grown
out of an Oklahoma case in which an
attempt was made to secure dining
car and sleeping car privileges for ne
groes. The United States court, Judge
Hook concurring decided that it was
optional with the railroad to furnish
these cars for negroes. Representative
Anthony of Kansas told President
Taft today that many negroes in his
state had Withdrawn their protests
against Judge Hook.
Although friends of judge Hook
were not ready today to admit that
the latest protests will prevent his

Congressman Mccall Opposes
Suggestion in a Speech.
Says Danger to Republic Turks
in Long Tenure of Office.

Washington, Feb. Representative
Samuel Mccall of Massachusetts. a
leader among the Republicans in con-
gress, has aligned himself with the
movement in opposition to a presiden-
tial third term. In speech which
held the close attention of the house,
he said that danger to the republic
luTked in long tenure of Office.
THE tremendous influence of ex-
ecutiye power centralized in the hands
of one strong, INSCRIPTIONS man may
easily be adequate in critical times to
remove all limitations on his tenure
and to change the essential character
of the government said Mr.. Mccall.
Mr.. Mccall dwelt at length on utter
ances of Theodore Roosevelt, saying
the latter had not attempted to equivO-
cate or quibble over the technicality
OF a second elective term.
Twice he quoted from Roosevelt's s
statement after his election in 1904,
the following sentence;
Under no circumstance will I be a
candidate for or accept the nomina-
ton
Mr.. Mccall said in the framing of
the constitution the presidential ten
ure was one of the forem OSt among the
problems that received the thoughtful
consideration of the convention For
nearly a century and a quarter, he
pointed out, the precedent of Washing
ton in fixing the limit at two terms,
had acquired the force of a constitu-
had today the validity of positive law
Continued Acquiescence.
f'Jefferson's example following that
of Washington removes the question
of a third term from the politics of
that time. There was a universal ac-
quiescence in the practice established
bv Madison and Monroe. Andrew
Jackson did not believe in even one
reelection. During Grants second
term there was an agitation to secure
his election for third term After
more than a year of discussion the
question was brought up in congress
and on December Is, 1875, the house
of representatives by a vote of 233 to
8 passed a resolution against the third
term idea. Four years after his name
was presented to the Republican con-
nomination.
Mr. Mccall recalled that on June
10 1901 after President Mckinley
had entered upon his second term. he
put himself unequivocally on record
against a third term by saying he
would not accept the nomination if
1t were rendered him. President Roose-
in his refusal to consider a third term
"The nation has no poverty in men,
said Mr. Mccall in conclusion.
"tTt possesses hundreds of citizens
capable of performing with high honor
the duties of the presidency and it
will always be infinitelv safer to dip
into the great mass of American citi-
zenship in order to secure head for
the state than to do violence to the
uniform precedents of our history and

republican institutions, established by
George Washington and cherished by
the nation down TO this hour.

Here the baggage and mail cars
were detached from the passenger
coaches and before any of the train
crew knew what was happening, the
