FEWER DAILY NEWSPAPERS.
Statistics For Past Year Show They
 Are Diminishing in Number.

Philadelphia, Jan 3O.-cIewspaper census figures for 1911, compiled by the American Newspaper Annual and Di- rectory, published here to-day indicate that multiplication of daily papers in the United States has come to a halt. A year ago the number was 2,472; the 1912 Annual lists 13 less, showing that the trend is now in the downward di- rection. According to this authority, greater mortality than birth rate is explained by suspension or consolfda- ton of newspapers in crowded and un- productive fields. New England has lost four dailies, New York four, mid dle west states nine, and the western states have thirteen less than a year ago. Gains have been heaviest in. the southern states, while the middle At lantic section has an increase of three.
 Weekly and semi-WeekIy newspapers a a'so seem to have reached their linn names and describes 16.2 229 weeklies, 70 less than in 1911, and 605 semi-week- lies, as compared with ST in 1911.
 The 1912 Annual marks it's forty fourth year, contains more than 1,2cO ages describing 24, ,345 newspapers and periodicals, presents ten distinct items about each, including its circulation rating and gives 1910 census popula- tions for the 11,O0O towns in which newspapers are published.
 Aeronautics, moving pictures and Esperanto are responsible for new lists of publications devoted to these sub 1ects. There are over two hundred of these lists in the book just from the press. Religious publications number 865, agricultural journals to- tai 463, and there are no less than 199 separate divisions of class and trade periodicals. Exponents of more than forty secret society orders are cata- Iogued. Foreign language papers print ed in thirty-four different forms of speech are described in a classification of their own.
 These statistics are gathered from | eturns by the press of the country and sifted, verified and arranged by the publishers of this directory, who are engaged in such revision through out the year. The importance of the publishing industry, like wise the development and rapid in crease of advertising, is impressiveIy illustrated in the magnitude of this work

ROAD CLEARANCE"
Buyers of Automobiles Should See that Gar Will
 Clear Any Obstacles

''Too many people forget to look un- derneath a car when they buy, says Asst Gen Mgr. George D. Wilcox of | the Regal Motor Car Co. There IS something more to a good automobile l than it's beautiful appearance, 1uxur- | ious upholstering and the mechanical efficiency of it's motor and parts. That something is the distance between the lowest point of the car and the road. It is called road-clearance.
 Scores of people buy cars without
 ever thinking of the day when they
 will be out on some rough or rocky by-road where every inch by which the car clears the highway will be
 of utmost importance to the cars se-
 curity and the safety of it's occupants
 They forget that unfortunately Amer
 ica does not boast of as fine roads as
 we wish it did and that every car
 which has low, hanging rods or dust
 pan is sure, sooner or later, to meet
 with difficulty.
 ''In examining a car with view to
 obtaining ample road clearance there are two things which should be borne
 in mind. First, the prospective pur- chaser should remember that a car Is no higher than it's lowest point; that though a car may look high it may have a low hanging dust pan or rear axle housing that projects far be- the frame work. The second import ant essential is that the average ob- server cannot see these low hanging members without special effort The lowest part may be under the very center of the car and the observer should either stoop over or step back to discover it. Every automobile which is to be used off a city pave ment should have nine or ten inches of road cIearance,-the more the bet ter if 1t does not make the car too high, for security from skiddtng is possible only in cars of low construc- tion. The tendency of the best en- gineering practice is to use a flat dust pan and make possible a low frame and an even road-clearance through out Indeed, the best cars today have already obtained this even rGad-clear- ance or their designers are working toward that end.
 An excellent example of the pro gress toward even clearance can be found in the cars of underslung con struction. It was once thought that the undersIung frame made for insult dcient clearance, but today this notion is rapidly being replaced by con hrmed popular belief in the superior merit of the underslung car.
 '1t is gratifying indeed to see how much more careful people are these days about road-clearance in the car which they buy still believe, how ever, that there are too many people who fail to look underneath car be fore they hand over the check that for even clearance and fight shy of the low axle housing and often still lower dust pan.

Assassination Of Three Imperial
 Generals Fails
Especial from United Presg.)

Tien Tsin, Jan. 3O.-A section of the vice regal residence was shatter- ad today, by a terrorist bomb and an hour later three imperial generals barely escaped assassination in the street. It was evident that the foes of the imperiaIiSt government had agreed upon a terroristic campaign.
 Although the explosion at the vice regal residence resulted in loss of thousands of dollars, none of the oc- cupants was injured.
 The three imperial generals assatI- ed by a terrorist who hurled a smok- ing hand grenade at their feet ran and were out of danger before the fuse burned down to the explosive. .. Ten suspects were arrested.
 It was reported that imperial sol dters fostering a mutiny were the rfngleaders.

TOO BIG FOR TUNNELS

4 gigantic electric generator of uu- usual capacity. built for the Ford Mo tor Company's factory at Detroit Mich, has proved too large to pass through the railroad tunnels between Ampere, N. J., and that city. The machine was built eat the Crocker- Wheeler Company's plant at Ampere, but it was found necessary to wind the armature at Detroit For the last ten years it has been necessary for all large manufacturers of electrical machinery to keep diagrams of all the railroad tunnels in the United States so that the parts of the big genera tors would not be built too large for shipment.
 This particular monster has a rat ing of 2,500 kilowats, or approximate ly $500 electrical horsepower, at a voltage of 25O. This means that it generates a current of 10000 amperes, as the current is equal to the number of watts divided by the voltage. It is to be driven by a direct connected gas engine, running at s5 revolutions a minute. Very few generators as large as this are built at the present time. Generators of equal capacity are sometimes used for street railway service, but their voltage is usually about 500 so that the current generat- ed is only 4,O0O amperes.

NOTABLE MASONS AT
 HODGE OF SORROW''

Masons of high degree from all parts of Connecticut attended the first lodge of sorrow ever held in the State, at the cathedral on the top fIcor of the Masonic Temple, last evening. Over four hundred members of the order were present About 75 members of Aurora Grata lodge of Brooklyn, N. r., attended, and the work was per formed by a team from that lodge. The ceremony was held for the fol- lowing deceased members of Dewitt Clinton Lodge of Perfection of this city, under whose auspices the lodge of sorrow was held: Theodore J. Ack- erman, Fred M. Radc if, Burton G. Bryan, Howard T. Farnum, James S. Galley, Isaac w. Bishop, Richard TaI- bot, George A. Crowell, William T. Dill, James J. Stonton, Franklin B. S1uster, Samuel A. Burns, Thomas H Macdonald, Watson J. Miller. William W. Ingham.
 It was ritualistic ceremony; beauti- full in its simplicity and was made very impressive by the splendid sing ing of the quartet from Brooklyn and made a lasting impression upon all who witnessed it.
 Following the session, which lasted two hours, the company enjoyed a luncheon in the banquet hall the Brooklyn members leaving on the re- turn trip to their homes at Il o'clock.

peror repeated the remark of Baron won Hollebenfi then representatives ol the Emperor in Washington, regard ing the splendid achievement of the German American Singers, and refer red to the great gift made by one of the Delegates, thus aIluding to the Wissner Grand Piano, which I had presented to the Saengerfest Com
 ''Ever since then my love for Ger man song and the people who so successfully cultivate this great art has been increasing and has kept me in permanent touch with all singing societies.
 Let me assure you, MT. Mayor, that no part of the popu ation of our coun- try was more pleased with the wei German Singers They knew that you with heart and soul would work for the success of the coming Saen- gerfest, and would be willing and able to overcome all difficulties which a short time before had begun to dis courage the Singers.
 "Our hopes were more than realized You solved the question of the local ity for the Saengerfest in a manner that has made your name dear to the heart of every German Singer.
 And to-day, MT. Mayor, I stand here before you, guided by the desire to show in modest way my respect to your Honor as well as to the Citi- zens of this City of Philadelphia, and I feel that | could not do this in a better way, than by handing to you this document, donating to the City of a Wissner Grand Piano and to be disposed of by your Honor in whichever way you may wish to do.
 May the Saengerfest be crowned by the great success, for which every German Singer hopes with you
 T thank you, MT. Mayor"
