Rurnors of Advance

Rumors Of decided advances in
price among other high cost cars are
about, and generally in this class tho
eports indicate most decided ten
dency to maintain the list as II has
been. Among the medium priced cars
there is also an upward tendency. The
Hudson company came out with its
announcement this week and the price
Is higher than IT was last year. A re
port printed in the trade papers ia :
dlcntes that the Cadillac will also

ers OF low priced cars intend to do Is
not yet revealed, but ii does not seem
probable that with the demand for
.ull equipment and the like. they will
make any pronounced reduction, and
they may even find 1t necessary to adj

NEW YORK, July 1s-White
comparatively few Of the motor car
manufacturers in the United States
have made their formal announce
ments Of cars for next season. enough
nave published their plans to give an
insight into what the trend Of the
Industry viii be for 1918.
The price is what interests the pub
He most, and there is no indication
that the big drop in prices for which
some prospective purchasers nave
been waiting u long time is any nearer
than i; was several seasons ago.
There are. IN fact, indications that the
price tendency is the other way, the
manufacturers being compelled BY the
demand for accessories and Improve
merits to- fiEt rather than lower their
figures.
The first company 10 make an an
nouneement OF Its new models was
the Peerless, and its list showed a
small increase In price in one model.
with the others at the ut the same
figure as previously. The fact that
the Packard company. which was
early in the field with its new model
six, dropped the price a little led
some to believe that general scaling
down of prices on big cars was in
prospect But that is not borne out
by the lists that have been put out
by the Stvens- NNryea, and other MAX
ers and by more or less authentic re-
ports from the manufacturing CEN

a tendency to lift the prices a little.
or at least to keep them at the same
level as on the 1912 models. 1t Is
reported that the Pierce-Arrow an
nouncement viii reveal slight in
crease on one model and on the 9TH
ers the same prices that have pre-
vailed for the past year.

LEGAL TANGLE FOR
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Baltimore Concern Wants
Exemption From Pay
ment of $4,000

Montgomery, November 15.-(Special.)-
Can mortgage executed in 1884, prior to
the enactment of the law requiring the
payment of 10 cents on the 800 to re-
cord such mortgage, be recorded now
without the payment of that tax This
is a question that has been put up to
Attorney General Briekel by attorneys
for the Continental Trust company CT
Baltimore, which company holds an S.
000,O 900 mortgage executed in 1899 by the
.Tallassee Falls Manufacturing company
and other property owners of Gilmore
county.
At the time the mortgage was executed
there was no law requiring the payment
of a tax for recording a mortgage in
the state. but in 1902 the legislature pro-
vided statute requiring a tax of 10 cents
on the 800 for recording mortgages.
The Continental Trust company claims
that they have right to record this
$s,000,O00 mortgage without the payment
of tax. of $4,000 inasmuch as the
paper was executed in 1899.
Attorney General Bricl1ell has not vet
looked into the matter, and will lot rem
der any opinion until he has made a conf
plete investigation of the subject The
company is represented by Ed S. Watts
of Montgomery, who declares it is his
opinion that the company will be exempt
from the payment of the mortgage tax

ADJUSTMENTS
Louisiana Lou"

The singing and dancing chorus of
Louisiana Lou" its tuneful music, pref
Nv costumes and colorful Mardi Gras at
mosphere saved the piece from being a
fat failure at the jefferson theatre last
night. A large company, an unusually
well trained bevy of girls, and some oil
the most dazzling costume effects seen
here in a long time pleaded eloquently
for a favorable opinion of the show IL
the senseless drivel that characterizes
most of the dialogue and the dreary at
tempts at comedy were done away with
altogether, and only the delightful mu-
steal numbers retained, Louisiana Lou
would be thoroughly enjoyable. The care
expended in dressing the company, In
staging the dancing numbers and IN
training the chorus make amends Ioi
much lnanity in the lines.
A real novelty IN the show is the SONG
number introducing Tom Powers Joys
and Glooms. This feature Of the per-
Torrance was enthusiastically encoreo
and made a hit. In fact, so long as the
chorus was busy the audience had nc
complaint to make, but when the merry
maidens tripped away for change OF
costume the void at times was painful
This state of affairs was due chiefly tc
the weakness of the libretto, but would
not have been so glaring had there beer
more capable people among the prinei-
pals. Freddie Nice Is one OF the best
dancers ever seen here, and when he
lled the chorus in a dancing number he
richly deserved all the applause he got
Mr. Noes dancing helped the perform
ance along remarkably, although he is
not so fortunate as to have a good voice
Cecilia Novasio made Louisiana Lou, OF
| I.ot1Isa-I ,ou. as she is called, rather at
tractive in way and she also danced
gracefully. Samuel Liebert, who had
| the principal comedy role, did not rise
above the average delineator of Hebrew
character, and the less said about the
other principals the better.
| In an imposing list of musical numbers
all were worth while and most OF then
served to exploit the dancing ability Of
/ the company. There are several sons
numbers in the piece that are most unique
and set to charming airs
| The scenes of Louisiana Lou are laic
| in picturesque old New Orleans during
/ Mardi Gras time and as resun some
very pretty stage pictures are presented
The close Of the first act showing a car
niyal frolic is bewilderinely realistic anc
/. the opening of the second act with al
extensive view of the Mississippi river II
the moonlight, is strikingly beautiful.
Louisiana Lou will be the offering
at the Jefferson theatre again this art
ernoon and tonight.
