motor no larger-the seating capacity no greater
the finish and appointments no finer. So, If
you get no more, why on earth should you pay
any more?
How can you make . car of this size and
power to sell for $500 when other makers get
$1,000, and more, for cars that are almost iden-
tical ?"-you ask.
1t is possible for the very practical reason
that we are the largest automobile pro-
ducers in the business. We make Is 900 cars
where the average standard maker produces
but 5000 and less. Having FIVE times the man
ufacturing facilities, we are actually able to pro-
duce an automobile at from twenty to thirty
per cent. less cost. And this difference is found
in our price to you.
So much for figures. Now, let's get down
to the specifications, for the specifications repre-.
sent the real intrinsic value of any automobile.
This car has powerful forty.fve horsepower
motor; the wheel base is one hundred and fif-
teen inches, the transmission is selective, three
speeds and reverse, fitted with the F & S annu.
lar bearings, which are used on the most expen.
sive cars in the world. The gear and crank
castings are of pure aluminium. The control is
in the center. The front axle is drop forged
I.section fitted with the finest Timken bearings
The rear axle is full floating also fitted with
Timkens. The frame is of pressed steel with

COTTRTLAND TAILOR
 DUPED BY SWINDLER

Courtland. March 2T.-(Special)--A slick swinder it is alleged, giving his name as D. D. Lyons, has been victimizng the merchants of north Alabama. He held himself out as the travelling representa- tive of James C. Bailey & Go. of Chicago and was around taking orders for pictures and frames. At this place he visited the establishment of James F. Pride. a worthy negro merchant and tailor.
 Pride is graduate of the Tuskegee Normal school and was naturally inter- ested in Booker Washington. He prompt ly ordered dozen framed pictures of Washington, together with other pictures. After taking the order Lyons had suit of clothes pressed and it is claimed ten- dered a check drawn>on the Illinois Trust and Savings bank for $40 Pride did not have the necessary change in the house, but indorsed the check and the bank promptly cashed 1t.
 A week later the check came back pro- tested, with the notation that the payor did not know Lyons, neither did they know Swisher. whose name was signed to the check as Sales Agent"
 A letter to Bailey & Go. elicited the In- formation that numerous checks drawn by this party had been presented to the bank for payment, but none of them were authorized, nor did they have any travel ing representative

COMMITTEE WITH
 SENATOR LORIMER Senate May Have No Chance to Pass on the Matter
 Second Time

Washington, March 27.-The special committed of eight senators, which las been Investigating the election of Senator Iorimer, today indicated in test vote that it stands five to three in his favor
 The majority of the committee has adopted the contention of Senator Lori mers counsel, that the Senate, having passed upon the senator's case once, md declared his election valid, cannot try him again on the same charge. Such a resolution will be reported by the majority of the committee.
 A motion today to close the committed s work with its report tomorrow was de- feated i've to three. This vote was taken as forecast of how the committee stands on the case.
 These senators voted not to close to- morrow: Dillingham;, Gamble, Jones. Johnston and Fletcher.
 These senators voted to close tomor- row: Kenyon, Kern and Lea.
 Considera tion Of a resolution declaring the first investigation of Senator Lori mer's election acts as bar to a secold, certainly will delay, and may ultimately prevent the Senates second consideration of the famous case.
 Though from today's voting it appears that a majority of the Investigating com mittee favor MT. Lorimer. the personnel of the senate has so changed since the first investigation that the outcome, if the case comes to a vote, is conjecture.

LEADERS JUBILANT
 OVER REPORTS FROM GEORGIA

Atlanta, March 27-(Special) )-While they pretend to stick to their guns" members of the state executive commit tee, some of them at least, realize that thy made a mistake in abandoning the county unit plan in connection with the presidential primary of May 1.
 Even some of the most ardent polit- ical friends of the committee and the faction it represents, are criticisng this action, in many cases to the extent of refusing to support the candidate it was sought to benefit by this rule completely excluding any minority from the state convention.
 A notable case in point is that of Commissioner of Agriculture,T Thomas G. Hudson who, while he is openly taking no sides in the presidential fight be- cause of his candidacy for governor, committees action and asserting every where that the county unit plan, which gives each county representation ac- cording to its vote, is one of the prin- cipal blanks in his platform.
 Another is that of Judge James K. Hines. special attorney for the railroad commission, for years consistent ad- vocate of Holxe Smith, who now de- clares that the state should repudiate the committee action in abandoning the county unit plan, and says the only way to do this Is to vote for oscar Underwood as the democratic nominee for President.

SPRINGS SENSATION
 IN THE M'REE TRIAL
Prosecution Moves to Dis miss the Entire Jury
 Selected

Opllonsas. La, March 27-Acting District Attorney F. C. Dubisson today created a sensation in the second trial of Mrs Zee Iunge Mckee, charged with killing Allen Garland. when he made a motion to dis charge the entire jury selected for the trial The court took the matter under advisement.
 MT. Dubisson said that he had been in formed that Juror Henry Boulder, before he was qualified and after being sum- moned. had made the statement to two persons that if he was chosen ne would vote for the conviction of Mrs. Mckee. Boudief is railroad man, married and is about g years old.
 This surprise was followed by another when attorneys for the defense objected 10 the dismissal of the jury contending that the substitution of another qualified fNenireman for Boulder was all that was desired. The argument on the matter con- sumed considerable time and was fol- lowed by adjournment.

Upon the same theory in part. and also because he believes in Underwood, James l.. Anderson of Atlanta, well known at torney who was manager of two cam paigns for Gov Hoke Smith, has joined the Underwood forces and is now pres ident of the Fulton County Underwood club.
 Many other instances might be men, tioned along the same lines, and it Is not to be questioned that members of the state committee are feeling its
 It is generally charged that the plan was made in the hope that with the Geor- gia vote divided between Underwood. liar mon and Clark on the one hand. Wilson would secure the plurality in enough counties to give him the Georgia dele gation.
 But there is no question that the ar engagement has redounded to the advan- tage of Underwood. The whole force of Thomas E. Watsons influence has turned in that direction purely on account of the abandonment of the county unit Llan. MT. Watson and his friends hold that the only possible method of rebuilding the committee action is to give Georgias vote to MT. Underwood.
 That Underwood's strength in Georgia has grown extensively since the commit tee acted is self evident; that the com mittee action had something to do with it cannot be questioned.
 The Underwood leaders here are jGhi- lant over the reports coming from all sec tions of the state and Manager G. R. Hutchens delights in reiterating his state ment:
 q do not concede a single Georgia coun- ty to Professor Wilson of New Jersey"

REPORT ON WOOL SCHEDULE
 SCORES THE TARIFF BOARD
CONTINUED FROM PAGE D

 out commodities of given kind In va rious countries. For instance, If 1t be assumed that if a given unit of certain commodity can be produced in England al one dollar, or the equivalent of that sum, while in the United states the money expenses of production at sl.25, it is necessary to have tariff duty equal to the difference In these money expenses of production, or certainly to the differ ence in money expenses minus the allow ance for variations in freight rates, in or der to place the producers in the two countries upon an equal market footing. IT this is not done, il will be possible for the producer in the country where money expenses are lowest to drive out of busi- ness the producer in the country where money expenses are highest. This assump- ton is based upon an erroneous view of international trade, and finds no warrant whatever in economic reasoning
 International Trade Discussed
 The democratic report discusses this matter at great length, and points out that in every country there Is a great range of difference in cost.
 Beside these considerations, the re- port says. it should be noted that in ev- cry country there is great range Of diI- ference in cost of production. Scarcely any tOuliHOuitf Nhtl bt SuiO lo hiNS d uniform cost of production. There IS more difference as rule between differ- ent factories in the same country than there is between the best and poorest factories in one country and those of cor responding grades in another. This has been amply illustrated by the work of the tariff board itself In it's report on pup and paper the board found little differ ence in money cost of production between the United States and Canada in the best mills, but it did find very great difference in expense of production between the best and poorest mills in the United States. The indication would have been, there fore that while protection was not needed by the best factories in the United States against the Canadian, it was needed by the poorer factories in the United States against the better factories in this coun- try, but not against those in Canada. owing to this variation in cost of produc- ton within the same country, it is not possible to compare in absolute terms the productive power of one country with that of another
 Even if it be granted, however, that an ascertainment of differences in money cost of production-whether highest, aver age, or lowest-would furnish a guide to inc proper amount of tariff duty needed for protective purposes, the problem would remain whether money expenses of production could be ascertained in such a way as to render the method available.

 Is Not Tariff Document
 The committee, averring that the re- port of the tariff board 'is not a tariff document says on that point:
 Probably the most striking feature of the report of the tariff board is that 1t contains little with reference to the tariff It is primarily an analysis of the money expenses involved in the production and manufacture of wool.
 ''yolume I of the report, containing the message of the President, letter of sub initial, summary of findings, and glos- sary will undoubtedly be of use in ex- blaming to the public the significance of the existing tariff and of the terms used in 1t. The volume probably contains lit- tie that was not already available to any member of Congress who chose to avail himself Of the facilities at his command.
