SPLITDORF PUT

Ter Causes an Epidemic Of Touring Fever in Atlanta S
Electric Lighting System for
Cars Is Said To Be Very
Simple.

The name Of Splitdorf, which has
been closely associated with electrical
ignition devices for more than half a
century, stands prominently forward in
regard to new offerings in magnetos,
coils and a lighting generator in addi-
ton TO their plugs, which are really
standard.
The Splitdorf Electrical Company,
mindful of the present demand for
electric lighting. is in the field with an
equipment which should make a strong
appeal to motor car, motor truck and
motorboat owners.
With as few parts as practical a
highly efficient generator, a fuse box
and an ammeter make an attractive
outfit. All controlling devices, that is
the parts regulating the output of the
generator as well as the flow of current
to the battery, are incorporated in the
machine, which is dust, oil and water
proof
With the Splitdorf system the battery
is fioated upon the line and the genera
tor contains regulating features that
compensate for the different rates of
speed and control the output. This is
q =
instrument is carefully assembled, ad-
justed and tested at the factory, will
not require any attention whatever from
the user.
The function Of the cut-out is to close
the circuit from the generator to the
lamps and battery when the generator
has reached speed giving voltage
slightly above that Of the battery, or TO
discOnneCt the generator from the lamps
and battery when it drops TO a speed
and voltage equal to that of the bat
terry. This is necessary, as means must
be provided for preventing the battery
discharging itself through the genera
tor and for connecting the latter to the
battery when the proper charging cur
rent is developed by the speed of the
motor.
A feature of the Splitdorf generator is
the method of cOmpensating for the var
liable speeds Of the engine. Unlike some
types, the machine is not fitted with
friction clutches. governors, etc, but re-
lies upon its interior construction.

CHURCH SPLITS OVER SNUFF.
Members Withdraw Because Rules
Forbid Use of Tobacco.

Asheville N. c., Aug. 12.-Because
the rules of the Wesleyan Methodist
Church, at Forest City, N. c., forbid
I the dipping" of snuff, the chewing
Or smoking of tobacco, or she wearing
IF jewelry, all the members with the
exception of six deacons, have with
drawn and have organized another
church following a revival held by
Rev. Henry Clay Sisk and Rev. W. c.
Stafford, of Spartanburg, S. c..
.The new church will be known as
he. Wesleyan Missionary Church and
is already assured of 265 members
who withdrew from the old church.
For some time the members of the
old church have been protesting
against the strictness of the rules
and some who desired to dip" snuff or
smoke, expressed their intention of
Withdrawing unless the rules were
made less stringent.
When the evangelists came along
md insis ed that such acts were no
bar to entering the Kingdom of
Heaven, the members of the church
made a general exodus and left the
Wesleyan Methodists with only six
Geacons and members.

AN INCIDENT THAT SHO
The methods of the big depart
ment stores and the detectives
thereof never were better illus
trated than by an incident that
occurred during the case of Mar
shall Field & Co. against Hazel
Krause and Este1le Yaeger.
Immediately after their arrest
the girls acquired Walter A.
Lantz as their attorney and
charged that Detective" Ed.
Mcclure of the MCGUIRE & White
agency and Ben Hinckley, of
Marshall Field & Co. had per
sonally searched them and taken
$315 from their stockings.
Soon after, Lantz, for some
mysterious and wholly unexplain-
ed reason, dropped their case, and
refused all information about it
to enquirers.
The girls then retained An
thony J. Moran as their attorney
and it was in connection with
Moran that the incident in ques-
ton occurred.
Just after Moran took the case,
Ed Mcclure called on him, and
asked to be shown into Moran's
private office. This is the con
versation that followed;
Mcclure: You're the new
attorney for Hazel Krause and
Estelle Yaeger, aren't your"
Moran: 81 am"
Mcclure: 'Well, look here,

think that you'd better ease up

mean by that?"
MCGUIRE "YOu know what I
mean. I mean your brother-in-

Moran takes telephone. Calls
