has been granted a reprieve until Janu-
airy 2, 1914, by Governor Fletcher, on

has caused Secretary of the Treasury
Macveagh to turn deaf ear to the
plea of the Mckinley Birthplace Asso-
citation TO issue $1,000 souvenir dollars
to raise funds for the restoration Of
McKinley's birthplace at Niles Ohio.
The scheme was to sell these dollars

Macveagh. 1T would appeal to many
others as well and the Treasury would
constantly be asked TO issue special

Arrison, sales manager of the company,
returned last night from Detroit, where
he signed a contract with the Regal
Motor Car Company to handle that
make of machine in this section. The
company will have a large exhibit at
the forthcoming automobile show.
Bergman & Williams, motorcycle
dealers, have been appointed Washing
ton agents for the Pathfinder car. A
Pathfinder was used last summer by
A. l.. Westgard in blazing three trans
continental routes for the American Au-
tomobile Association, and the car has
been prominent in many contests.
All doubts about E. Leroy Jelletier's
future plans and movements were set
tied yesterday when he announced that
he had acquired a substantial interest
in John Splitdorf's new electrical start
er. Mr.. Pelletier has been elected sec
retary Of the company. and will also
handle a big advertising campaign
which will soon be inaugurated in con-
ncction with the marketing of this de-
vice. His activities will not be con-
fined simply to the Splitdorf starter, as
he is going to specialize in non-com-
petlng accessory and automobile adver-
tising accounts. 1t is probable he will
take on a high-priced touring car,
truck, speedometer, and perhaps a car
buretor or other high-class accessory.
He also has three tire accounts from
which to choose. Leroy Pelletier is one
of the best known men in the automo-
bile industry, and has gained a world
wide. reputation ip handling big adver-
tising campaigns.
