SUSPEND WORK ON BUILDING
ERECTION OF BIG WAREHOUSES
HAS BEEN STOPPED.
Friction Has Arisen Between the CITY
Authorities and Kennedy & Brim
About Disposition of Water.


Messrs. Kennedy & Brim, who be-
gan making excavations several days
ago for the foundation of the S12.-
300 enlargement and other improve
ments of their warehouse at the cor
ner of Lee and Stonewall streets.
have suspended work.
trouble has arisen between them
and the city authorities as to the
disposition of water that now finds
an outlet through part of the prop
erty upon which the firm proposes
to build, the city contending that it
is a natural drain, and that the
walls of the building will, if erected,
stop the drain and back water on
the city's lot.
Kennedy & Brim contend that it
is the duty of the city to take care
of the waste water in its streets. and
not to force it on private property
to the injury of its citizens, and also
that it is not natural but an arti-
fetal drain.
1t is understood thai the city pro-
posed to lay sewer pipe underneath
the building to carry of the water,
but this Kennedy & Brim would not
agree to on the ground that they in
tended to put in cement floor, and
that a sewer beneath it would not
only injure the value of their prop
erty but be source of considerable
expense should the pipe become
stopped up and make it necessary to
tear up the floor.
They have made written formal APP
plication to the city for building
permit, and the outcome of the mat
ter is awaited with general interest.

WHEN THE HORSES FAIL
Peerless Man Points Out Some
Advantages of Motor Truck.

During July and August, when the ther-
mometer begins to hlrt with the 100 mark
the superiority Of motor over animal haul
ing is particularly emphasized" said a
representative II the Peerless Motor Car
Company's truck department yesterday
In New York, Boston, Chicago and Phil
adelphla a hot spell OF three or four days
causes hundreds Of horses to fall In the
streets. Those who do stand the strain
are greatly weakened and de6il!tated, and
have 20 be humored 10 such an extent ~
their drivers that they work at not more
than half their usual efficiency.
For companies that deal in ice, ice cream
and other commodities for which the oe-
mand is greatly enlarged by the Same high
temperature that undermines their dellv-
cry systems, the situation often presents
almost insurmountabe difficulties
You never have to turn a hose on a
motor truck to keep 1t from falling in the
streets, and It is capable Of twenty-four
hours work a day, regardless of the tenn
perature. The hot weather advantages OF
the truck are so great that the Peerless
company this year made up number Of
extra chassis and had them shipped TO
their various branches about the country
so that they could be put into service i'm
medlately TO afford relief for the team
owners whose delivery systems may go
back on them"

BENZ ACTION EXPLAINED
German Company Did Not Attack
Double Sleeve Claims.

Some Misrepresentation appears TO exist
regarding the efforts Of Benz & Co,
OF Mannheim. Germany. to dispute the
knight sleeve valve patents. That tho
German concern was not attacking tho
double sleeve valve feature, but different
claim in Mr. knights German patent, Is
indicated by the following explanation from
the American representatives Of Benz 4
Co.:
''The second claim Of Charles X. knights
patent in its original form, was TO protect
the cooling Of the exhaust side Of the
cylinder heads. Benz & CO. brought
action against this second claim for revo-
cation, as according to their Judgment, IL
could not rightly he sustained on the
strength of the arguments brought Tor
ward the German Imperial Department. ot
Patents rendered a decision 10 the enect
that Mr.. knights patent was partly null.
fed through the new form OF the second
claim. The owner Of the patent being the
losing party had TO defray the cost OF
the proceeding.
In the new form OF the second claim no
protection FOR the cooling OF the exhaust
side of the cylinder heads has been
granted and Furthermore, the claim or
the double sleeve engines has been re.
stricted. whereas The original claim might
possibly have been construed as protecting
also the one sleeve engine. The new claim
is nothing more than a pronounced form
OF the first claim for the protection or the
douhle sleeves valves"

CITY STREETS ARE ROUGH
Far Below Standard of State
Highways in General.
DEMAND FOR COOPERATION
Motorists Assert That Connect.
ing Lines, at Least, Should
Be Put in Condition.

That there IS urgent need OF co-opera-
ton between municipalities and the state
highway authorities is indicated by COM
plants which have reached the Touring
club OF America from automobllists who
have recently returned from extended
tours through the Eastern and New Eng:
land states.
one prominent motorist said 1t was easy
TO determine when he had reached the
outskirts of a city by the wretched con-
dtion Of the roads invariably 10 be found
within the city limits. which did not
compare favorably with the fine state
roads which had been previously encoun-
tered.
That such conditions should prevail es-
peclalIy in the Eastern States. where II 10
estimated upward OF slOo,co,ooo is now
being expended for highway Improvement.
IS regrettable. The city authorities should
take cognizance Of the fact that II is 10
their interest IL they desire to attract
tourists to their respective communities,
to work more in conjunction with the
county and state highway officials by I'M
proving those streets which connect with
the main state highways upon which the
automobile tourists travel
Colonel Henry MacNair, OF the T. c. A.
who has been making notes of the main
travelled thoroughfares in the vicinity OF
New York. in commenting upon the sltua-
tion, sad:
This condition is more noticeable in the
city OF New York than in the smaller nu-
inequalities In fact, the line OF demarca-
ton between the city streets ana county
roads is nearly always very distinct.
During my observations Of the best mo-
tor exits from greater New York l found
that an automobilist cannot leave the met
ropolitan district either BY way OF Long
Island, Staten Island, New Jersey or
through Westchester County without en-
countering some bad stretch Of road which
should be Immediately placed in first class
condition.
1T would seem that careful study OF
the question would show the authorities
how 10 pave the principal exits In way
10 stand the wear and tear OF both horse
and motor traffic. However, it Is only
question OF few years until some OF the
larger cities Of this country will be forced
to adopt the plan now being carried for-
ward by the Road Board In Great Britain
to establish motor exits In the popular
centres where they are most urgently
needed.
The Road Board has recently voted an
appropriation OF upward OF S,W1OO TO
forward the construction OF several or
these trunk lines in London. 1t Is pro-
posed 10 make these roads eighty fee1
wide, and they will be Of the finest mod
ern construction"

EVERITT AGENCY CHANGES

pointed the Flanders Company's New York
branch as the local distributors Of Everitt

the Eycritt company, says:
we feel we have been very fortunate in
procuring this line of cars. The agents all

interest In the car, and the number Of
orders for immediate shipment we have al
ready received is very gratifying indeed
and IS all out OF proportion to the amount
We could reasonably expect at this season
OF the year.
zone OF the features we are determined
TO add strength 10 in the conduct Of the
business is the service We purpose TO give
our customers and the extensive facilities
we will have to carry out that idea. our
service building. one Of the most modern
and hest equipped freproof structures In

SD street near Broadway.
This building will serve as the factory
supply station for the East, and We will
always maintain for the convenience of our
customers and agents a complete and ex-
tensive stock of parts of all models from

This, together with the distributing stations
the factory will have in Newark. Brooklyn

NORTHWEST NEEDS CARS
Seattle Dealer Says Demand Is
Heavier than Supply.

Evidence Of n rapidly increasing demand
for automobiles by farmers and merchants
OF the great Northwest and an ultimate
market far In excess Of the present Is FUR
nIshed by Ira D. Lundy, dealer In Stoddard-
DAYTON motor cars in Seattle who has been
I'm New York for the last week corferring
with the officials OF the United States Motor
Company.
Mr. I.undy said the demand for reliable
small cars is growing beyond rhe capacity
OF the manufacturers TO meet II and that
50 per cent OF the cars sold In Seattle and
vicinity were machines selling for 1900 or
under.
The present market is no comparison
70 what II will be I'm a year or two, SAID
Mr.. Lundy There are now about nine
teen thousand registered cars In the state
OF Washington. The farmers and mer-
chants throughout the Northwest are pros
porous and they will buy thousands more.
The wheat crop is better than any In his
tory; the lumber business Is thriving but
the companies cannot get cars enough TO
haul the timber The salmon nshing IN

rhe departments reports show that bota

many motorists wish to tour this way 10

HOT WEATHER COMFORT
Thomas Foredoor Does Not In.
terfere with Proper Ventilation.

It's the tinkle OF the ice in the tall glass
that tells that the contents will be cool
and refreshing The beverage might be
ever so delicious, but IL It's not cool It
doesn't suit. So when a motorist goes for
a long tour he begins to think the fore
door idea is not half so good as he thought
il was last winter.
OF course lots OF cars have ventilatins
devices, though some manufacturers be-
lieve "A hook so arranged as 10 leave the
door slightly open is the only way 10 get
air in the front compartment.
The Thomas Motor Car Company has.
perhaps, gone TO greatest lengths on the
ventilation problem. Perhaps the very sim
plicity Of Thomas ventilation is the secret
Of its success. The lines OF the cowl are
designed so that supply OF fresh. cool
air IS taken in through two ventilators a
simple hinged door in the cowl opening just
as wide as is necessary in order 10 give the
