suit against Editor Newett OF Mar
quette, Mich. Newett confessed iudg
ment and the jury fixed the nominal
damages in such cases.
Editor Newett took back in open
court all the things that he had said
about Roosevelt and told Judge, jury
and everybody else that he was sorry
he had said them
Therefore, the colonel got all the
satisfaction he wanted and six cents
besides-the nominal damages he
asked for after Newett retracted and
apoogized on the witness stand.
On the advice of his lawyers, who
had been Informed that the colonel die
not want money damages, he made w
his mind to say he was mistaken and
that he regretted his publication oi
stories damaging to Colonel Roose
velt's reputation.
Mt. Newett read long statement
in which he set forth that he hat
heard many stories about Colene
Roosevelt's addiction to liquor; tina
he was loath at first to believe the
stories and that finally he had come
to believe that they were true How
ever, he said, he was convinced by tn,
testimony of the reputable gentlemen
who had testified in the colonel's be
half that the stories were false. There
fore he desired to retract his utter
ances and to say that he regrette
having published false reports.

IX-CYLINDER
CARS ARE NOT
COSTLY TO run

Al great deal of misconception ex-
lists as to the relative amounts of gas
oline and oil consumed by d six-cylin-
der motor and by a four-cylinder The
popular impression that because q
motor has six cylinders it must neces-
sarily burn more gas and use more
oil than a four is probably erroneous
Were the cylinders of the six as large
as in the four, and were other condi
lions alike, this might be true. But
as a matter of fact the cylinders of a
six can be made much smaller than
in four oil. corresponding horsepower.
Ii is the total displacement area OF
the pistons, or in other words the GU
lie contents of the combustion space,
that determines the amount of power
produced and the. quantity OF fuel
burned. Other conditions also mater
tally effect the fuel question. The
constant torque, or turning power, of
a six-cylinder motor makes for eco
nomical application of power. The
fly-wheel of six is lighter than in a
four. In the six there are no dead
centers" to be bridged over by the
inertia of the fly-wheel as IN the four.
Hence the amount of power needed

HANDLES FAMOUS
OF TIRES


The Schuman Carriage Company
has recently secured the exclusive ag-
.ency In the territory of Hawaii for
the United States Tire Company's G..
& T. brand OF tires.
United States tires have proven
their worth through satisfactory mile
age tests on many different occas-
ions, and the different brands Of this
make have for this reason become
very popular wherever automobiles
are in use.
A complete line of these tires and
tubes has been put In by the Schu-
man people, and as this is an entirely
new stock, buyers can feel absolutely
assured of getting strictly fresh ma
'terial there being no possibility Of
shopworn goods being on hand.
The Schufnan Carriage Company
will alse make all the necessary adj
justments, should occasion arise from
defective tires. This will overcome
the old tiresome waits for adjust
ments from the branch on the coast.
