Studebaker Cars at
 Detroit's Celebration

s'Detorit is getting itself worked up to a fine pitch of excitement" says MT. E. A. Shedd, who is here in the interests of the studebaker Corpora
 .'The cause of the thrills isn't the political campaign, proposed change in the local traction ordinance, or the organization of new automobile fac- tory, strange to relate. It's merely Cadillaqua-Detroit's first big party, and to which all the world is an in- Vited guest.
 Why Cadillaqua? Oh! Just because. umsteen years ago, old Cadillac him. self happened on the scene, and scar ed the Indians away. Also, because there is an amazing amount of aqua flowing past the town, which will be freely used, during the festival for both boating and bathing purposes.
 Some name, isn't 1t? We'll, it ought to be. The man who invented it got a dandy Studebaker- Flanders "20'' car, Just for that name. He'll drive the car at the head of every process sion that forms during the week.
 "And believe me, it's going to be some festival too. There will be na- val pageants, rowing, sailing and launch races. automobile parades and stunts of all sorts in the daytime. At night the most gorgeous fireworks on record will vie with millions of elec- tric lights on allegorical and indus trial floats that will set a new degree for splendor. Detroit is spending hum dreds of thousands of dollars during the week that opens July P. The town itself will be at it's very best. It's a great burg all the year round but in midsummer no other town in the coun- try can even tie it.
 ssOf course, the automobile build- CTS are right in the thick of the Cadil- laqua preparation. Studebalzer cars will be in evidence all along the line There will be an immense Studebaker float of stunning shape in the night parade Incidentally, the whole pa> geant will be staged on a great fleet of Studebaker wagons, especially built for the purpose. The motor car conn., panies are all in line, strong for Ca dillaqua.
 Anybody in this region who has the time and the price, will make a big mistake to leave Detroit's Cadilla- qua week out of his plans for the sum mer'

GIRL VICTIM
 IS ARRESTED Little Ella Blau Pursued and Pestered, and Encouraged
 to Incorrigibility INFLUENCED TO DO WRONG Victim of Patrolman s Grim inal Assault Taken on
 Industrial School
 Complaint
INFLUENCED TO DO WRONG

New Haven, July 3-HaVing been pursued and pestered for several weeks following the publicity of the case of the patrolman who criminally assault ed her, Ella BIau, the fourteen year old Chestnut street girl. was arrest ed last night by Patrolman Clarkson on an industrial school complaint. This is but another chapter in one of the worst disgraces that the police force has had to stand through the criminal conduct of one of it's mem bers, whose identity, although suspect ed, has not been definitely enough es- tabliShed to warrant an arrest.
 Since the occurrence of the crime, going on two months ago, the child and her mother have been made the victims of the basest attacks in order to cast ridicule upon the charge o1 temptation to do wrong has been thrown in the way of the girl and lately her behavior has not been be- yond mild reproach. Young men have lured her away from her home and she has been seen on the streets with them after dark.
 In view of these circumstances Pa trolman Clarkson was put on special duty to watch the girl and he dogged her footsteps wherever she went ir order to prevent her falling into some trap that might have been set and which some people believe had been set. The girl, not Knowing the real motive of Clarkson's surveillance, took offense at it and it brought her al most to the incorrigib1e point. Fin ally, it Is said, that friends of the girl advised her detention in order to pre- vent her falling into further trouble Last night she was placed in the care of the Associated Charities.
 The case of the patrolman responsi- b1e for the assault upon the girl in Franklin street has not been dropped and will not be. Already some strange things have been unearthed in the in- driiry which later on may cause no little shock to the community.

was actually made. It's result fur nished a surprise inasna0ch as the timing of the man milker against the machine milker showed that Martin was able to divest sixteen cows of their milk while the machine was milking nineteen. Consequently Mar tins efficiency was n-nineteenths that of the machine milker. As good as was his showing, however, the re- suit evidently did not satisfy Mar tin, ,as directly after the test he gave
 up his job, supposedly because of chagrin over his defeat.

Cop Found Not Guilty
 Tipping Off Pool Room

New Haven, July 3A two-hour ses- sion in which five witnesses were ex- amined convinced the Board of Police Commissioners yesterday afternoon that the charges preferred against Pa trolman Philip Lautenbach of tipping off, a pool room about a raid were entirely without foundation. Patrol man Lautenbach was found not guilty and exonerated. After exonerating Policeman Lautenbach the comnis- sioners heard the petitions of ex-Pa- trolmen John Flynn and John Kelly who, nearly a month ago, were dis missed from the force. They asked the commissioners to reopen their cases, claiming to have new evidence. Both matters were referred to the ef- f1ciency committee for action.
 That Lautenbach was the unfortun- ate victim of circumstance was evil denced when his case was rehearsed yesterday afternoon.

 AS soon as Andrew Carnegie returns to this country from his castle of SkFbo i'm Scotland he will be inter viewed by Albert Bigelow Paine in re- gard to the application recently made to him by the latter for financial aid for the Mark Twain Library. To the appeal Mir. Carnegie returned a prompt response by letter in which he said he should esteem 1t privilege to. render the library assistance, al- though in precisely what form and to what extent he did not indicate. What the library association would yielding an income sufficient to pay the running expenses of the institu- tion This would be variation from NF. Carnegie's usual policy. as his ex- tensive library benefaetions amount ing Ito millions of dollars have been mostly if not wholly limited to pro FidinE the buildings only. When the local library was first projected the idea of appealing to MT Carnegie for a building was talked of but finally dismissed because 1t was felt that only the name of Mark Twain should be linked with the institution. The $6,- 008 donated by Mark Twain In his last illness provided the building and the books also came through him and his daughter. So far the funds for the iibrary's maintenance have been rnised through entertainments, and while means for all necessary ex- penses were thus furnished an endow- Tnent of a few thousand dollars would be very welcome. Such an endow- nent it is believed MT Carnegie will grant.

FEARED FOR MISS QUlMBY
Haupert, Who Taught Her to Fly, Had Urged Her to
 Be Careful

Andre Haupert, the aviator who taught Miss Harriet Quimby, the wo- man aviator who was killed on Mon- day at Boston, said yesterday that from what he knew of the accident he thought it was unavoidable. M 3"I think Miss Qliimby was descend ing with full power on when the ma chine struck an air pocket and threw both her and the passenger from their seats. The shock was so great that she evidently lost control of the ma chine at once.
 Until I have seen Miss Quimby's s mechanic and heard the full details I can think of no other way in which the accident might have occurred.
 Miss Quimby was using TO horse power machine, which was hard to manage. and with her 1t was an ex- pertinent. Her old machine was of 50 horsepower.
 tsI also have the impression that the flying held at Boston is not a safe one, and I had advised Miss Qufmby not to take part in the meet. After she made her channel flight I had hoped she would give up flying, as I~consider it far too hazardous an occupation for a woman.
 CT have always done my utmost to discourage both Miss Quimby and Miss Moisant, who was also my pupil. While they were under my care, how ever, I found them most careful and ready to accept suggestions.
 Miss Quimby, I think, was ann bilious to prove that women were the equals of the men flyers and was spurred on to attempt too much. Both Miss Quimby's father and moth CT had been alarmed for her safety and had asked me to use my inffu- ence in persuading her to quit They were in Mexico while she was giving exhibitions there and were extremely anxious about the matter Miss Quimby always insisted that she did not take any risks and therefore
