JIM WATSON BUMPS UP
AGAINST A BAREBACK
Former Public Utterance
Proves Boomerang in His
Indiana Campaign.
Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND. Ind, October 31.-Gov.
Wilson is not the only public man whose
past utterances are coming up in this
campaign to torment and plague him.
James E. Watson. who formerly repre-
scented this district in Congress, and who
FOR many years was well known In Wash
ington as the republican whip of the
House Of Representatives. made a dandy
standpat speech here last Saturday night
to a large audience of several thousand
people. 1t was a great argument in
favor of the reelection of President
Taft, and Watson took three hours to de-
liver his remarks as only Watson can,
for his is rated as one of the very best
orators Indiana has produced in many
years.
But Watson bumped right up against a
public utterance of his, made a little over
a year ago. that caused him some en-
barassment and added to the hilarity of
Watson was helping to entertain Vice
President James 8. Sherman when the
latter spent two days in Indiana
Lambasted County.
On October II Watson and Sherman
visited New Castle, the city of roses,
which Is also located in this congressional
district, and the good people Of New Cas-
tie prepared a big banquet at the Nip and
Tuck clubhouse. After the feast the pro-
gram was turned into a sort Of gridiron
affair. and when 1t came Watson's turn to
talk he cut loose on Wayne county people
and gave them terrible lambasting
Newspaper reporters were not supposed
to be within hearing distance, but half a
dozen of them were present, and, of
course. Watson's remarks got into print.
Here Is what he said:
Il cannot understand how there could
be such complete reaction from the
high character and quality Of the good
old Quaker population as there 10 In

serious vein. Every one else took the mat
ter in a spirit of fun and frivolity, but 1t
didn't set well with the people of Rich
mond and Wayne county.
When Watson came to Richmond Satur-
day night he found that the Richmond
papers (all progressive) had dug up his
New Castle remarks and printed them In
large type in box on the front page. and
of course every one here had q, laugh at
Watson's expense. A. w. r.

Wants Through Cars.

Il suggest. however, the feasibility of
afording some relief. to the congestion
OF Chevy Chase traffic during the rush
hours by having the through cars, on
that portion OF the route between the
Rock Creek bridge and the terminus at
18th street and New York avenue, per-
form express service. the southbound
cars stopping only to let off passengers,
the northbound only 10 take on passen-
gers for the Chevy Chase line the only
regular stop being al the 18th and l.
streets junction. Ample warning TO other
than Chevy Chase traffi- northhound
could be afforded by pla ards, Chevy
Chase line only at the entrance TO each
car.
"Of course, the ultimate solution of
this whole problem probably will be the
extension of the l. street car service to
Cleveland Park or some other point be-
tween there and Chevy Chase Circle, in
place of the Calvert street loop. and di-
version of the Chevy Chase route south
on 18th street or nth street from the
present u street tracks, but that is look
ing far ahead.
In making these suggestions, | do not
wish to be understood as voicing any
opposition to the inauguration of an ex-
press service by car or cars between
the take and the loop. starting. say, just

FOR BETTER SERVICE
Meeting to Discuss Express
Cars to Chevy Chase.
PETITION STIRS INTEREST
New Bridge Across Rock Greek at
Calvert Street Also Wanted.
MANY SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE
Letter to Electric Railway Commits
sion Voices Views of Connecticut
Avenue Citizens Body.
PETITION STIRS INTEREST
MANY SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE

The Connecticut Avenue Citizens Asso-
citation is expected to take up at its No
vember meeting the demand for an ex-
press car service between Chevy Chase
and this city.
The petition filed by citizens of Chevy
Chase with the District electric street
railway commission, proposing such a
service, has aroused interest among those
who reside on the Chevy Chase line
south Of Chevy Chase Circle. The bulk
of the traffic of the line is from the
District side. Extension of the Calvert
street loop to Cleveland Park was talked
of during the past year, although the
Capital Traction Company officials gave
no assurance of any such action in the
immediate future.
The Chevy Chase and Columbia Coun-
try Clubs are located on the Maryland
side of Chevy Chase Circle. They would
be benefited by any express service which
might cut off the running time by
few minutes and allow more room in the
cars, which now are crowded during the
rush hours.
Many have become accustomed to TAX
ing the Chevy Chase cars and riding
north as far as U street and there trans
ferrtng. Others living south of the Cal
vert street bridge use the Chevy Chase
cars both ways because of their running
y,
transfer at 14th and U streets.
Adds to Congestion.
This practice. Chevy Chase line pas
sengers say, adds to the congestion of
the Chevy Chase traffic and is unfair, in
view of the comparatively slight head
way between the cars of the 9TH street
and New Jersey avenue lines running on
L street to the Rock Greek bridge, open
to the intra-city limit traffic.
What the Connecticut Avenue Citizens
Association members would like to see
brought about, they say. is a more fire.
quent car service to accommodate the
constantly increasing population in the
suburbs to the northwest. a new bridge
across Rock Creek at Calvert street. a
5000 appropriation for plans for which
failed only at the ninth hour in the last
Congress after passage by both houses,
and a strengthening of the car bridge
across Klingle Ford Run, near Cleveland
Park.
Active members of the association ex-
pressed the opinion today that if the
nearer communities are given satisfactory
transportation facilities they would well
come the installation of any car service
that would bring Chevy Chase nearer to
the city from car service standpoint.

SPACE IN DEMAND
At GOTHAM SHOW
Judging From Demands, Madi-
son Garden Exhibit Best
in History.

Judging from the applications for exc
hibition space being made for the thir-
teenth national automobile show, which
is to be held in Grand Central Palace
and Madison Square Garden from Janu-
airy II to %. it is evident that manufac-
turers of automobiles motor cycles and
accessories are preparing for the great
est years business in the history of the
industry. Application blanks and dia-
grams of the floor space for both build
ings were issued only a few days ago,
and the requests for space are coming
in at such a rate as to indicate that the
show next winter will eclipse any exhi-
bition of its kind ever held anywhere.
Like the shows of the past two years,
the forthcoming exhibition will be two
shows in one in both the Grand Central
Palace and Madison Square Garden
From January II to January Is, which
is to be known as the part one period
MISUNDERSTANDING or pleasure vehicles
will be shown in both buildings. During
the part two period, from January 20 to
% commercial vehicles will be shown in
both buildings, while accessories will be
on display during the two weeks.

NEW SCHOOL LAW PROBLEM.
Question If National Guardsmen Are
Engaged in Public Duties.

Interpretation of the new nonresident
school law has brought the District cor
poration counsers Office face to face with
some knotty legal problems. the most re-
cent of which involves the question of
whether members of the National Guard
of the District are engaged in public
duties in the District of Columbia.
This question has been put up to the
Office, which has charge of the legal
work of the board Of education, by Maj.
Clarence V. Sayer. Cd Infantry, National
Guard of the District of Columbia, who
is a resident of Kensington. Md, and is
DESTROYS of having his children educated
in the public schools of Washington.
Under the new law person engaged
in public duties in the District. but who
lives in another state, can send his chill
dren to the local schools without being
required to pay the tuition charged nom
residents. Maj. Sayer takes the position
that members Of the National Guard are
engaged in public duties just as are other
officials of the District and federal gov
ernments. and that therefore he should
not be subject to tuition charges.
Acting Corporation Counsel Francis H.
Stephens has the matter under advise
ment and probably will render a decision
early this week.

BIG CROPS OVERCOME
EFFECTS OF CAMPAIGN
Presidential Race of 1912 Not
Disturbing Business-AN
Branches Prospering.

eat last, presidential year with little
or no effect on national business. This
is condition to which the whole country
has long looked forward, but which has
never been realized until now says
Hugh Chalmers. THAT the business Ofthe
country should be going along in the usual
way through such an unusually strenuous
campaign is a matter of comment in all
lines of industry.
1T seems to me that the explanation
crops.
ut is no new observation that good
crops mean general prosperity-but this
axiom has somehow never worked out
to the fullest extent in a presidential
year until the present. Now. however,
the people are coming to realize that
it is not so important what comes out
of the candidates mouths as what crops
come out Of the farmers fields. The
crops of a nation are the index of its
commercial health. With the United
States this year producing bigger and
better crops than ever before, no political
campaign can materially affect the pros
perity of the country.
Panic Unlikely.
commercial conservatism which precIudes
the probability of panicky conditions. In
all industrial lines there is a solidarity
that is safe from political influence on
the one hand, and from overenthusiaSm
on the other hand.
I'm the automobile business things have
settled down materially. Among all man
ufacturers of standard cars conservative
production is the rule. The wise builders
of motor cars realize that this country
can produce only a given number of cars
and sell them. Beyond this point pro-
ductiOn is waste, for the cars cannot be
sold Overproduction hurts not only the
individual builder who is guilty. but
every other manufacturer in the indus
try. Unquestionably there has been some
overrroduction in the past: but now,
firmly believe, the industry as a whole
is the best possible insurance against the
so-called Off years
"AutOmobile manufacturers are also be-
coming genuine manufacturers. 1t is a
fact that all Of the great staple indus
tries have been built up by manufacture
ing, the producer of the finished product
actually building the component parts of
the article which bears his name. This
was not always the case with motor cars.
but manufacturing is becoming more the
rule each season. And with the building
up of great factories in which the stand
ard cars are built practically complete,
see a stability which forecasts the con-
tinued prosperity of the automobile in
dustry
with big values to offer and with the
country enjoying more than usual pros
perity there is evidence that the season
of 1913 will not see the oft-predicted
slump in the automobile business. In De-
troit, which is the index of conditions il
the automobile business. there is uns
usual activity among all of the leading
manufacturers.

Much Preliminary Detail.

The amount of preliminary detail to be
attended to for this gigantic exhibition
is so big that the show committee OF
the automobile board of trade, under
whose auspices the exhibition will be
held, has been working on the details
since early spring. a plan of decoration
for both the Garden and the Palace is
being worked out, which will be unusual
ly attractive. While the interior of the
Grand Central Palace is beautiful with
out added decoration, it will be even
more so after the show committee has
put it's plan into effect
The number of requests already at
hand for space in the Grand Central Pal
ace indicates that the building will be
completely filled with exhibitors. The
Garden, as usual, will be filed from
basement to dome with exhibits.

SEE MARKED CHANGE
IN AUTO INDUSTRY
Due to Attitude of Motor-Buy-
ing Public, Says
Official.

Interesting comments upon the trend of
the hour in the motor car world were
made a few days ago by an official Of the
Foss- Hughes Motor Car Company, local
distributors for the Pierce-Arrow car.
According to this official there has been
a marked change within the past year or
two in the automobile industry, caused
by change of attitude on the part Of
the buying public. The day Of the fad
dist" and the seeker for "freakish" de-
signs and wholesale innovation is, COM
paratively speaking, past and there has
come a saner and steadier demand for
the car which will yield the maximum of
service for the uses of every day.
Formerly the motor car was a luxury
and a vehicle for the pleasure days only.
Now it is necessity and necessary to
the every day lives of busy and conse-
qCential people. Hence. it has been a
natural sequence that such people should
look more and more to the dependable.
serviceable qualities of their cars and less
to striking but more or less useless de-
vices and designs.
