Interesting Displays Attract Crowds-Hall
Decorated as Italian Garden.

With the opening of the Automobile
Show of Washington Automobile Deal
ers' Association at Convention Hall last
night, there was started what the auto
enthusiasts assert is the greatest Spec
tacular display of automobiles ever
staged in Washington. Between 5OcD
and 5000 people attended the exhibition
during the evening, and the leaders of
the association predict a record attend
ance between now and closing time
Saturday night
By I:45 o'clock the hall was well crowd
ed, and promptly at o'clock, President
Taft touched a button in the White
House, which simultaneously lighted the
l,500 electric lights, loosed the binding of
a huge American flag furled, and attach
ed to tine roof of the building, and set to
ringing several immense magnetic gongs
in different parts of the hall. The fas-
Jennings of the flag released, 1t unrolled
and hung gently swaying over the as
sembly. and the Marine Band struck up
an air that was promptly swallowed up in
the Clamor of horns and shouts that
greeted the official opening of the show
This is the first time that a President of
the United States has ever opened a show
in Washington, and II is expected that
President Taft will attend this week
The decorations of the hall this year
are especially effective. The effort has
been to present the effect of an i'm
mense Italian garden The different dis
plays are inclosed in white trellis work
supported by white posts something

Forty-two Exhibits.
There are forty-two separate exhibits
in which are seen cars of every descrip-
tion. The cheapest car is a small road
ster at $500, and the most expensive a
great limousine, valued at $3.50. There
are many stripped chassis showing the
entire mechanism of the cars
The most unusual sight of the show
is the three wheeled Knox tractor a
truck of three wheels carrying a pow
erful motor that is designed to haul a
load of from five to twenty tons. The
first sale of the evening was claimed
by the White Company, the machine
being a l,50O-pound White truck that
went to Thomas II. Martin.
The officers of the Washington Auto
mobile Dealers Association were par
ticularly gratified last night at the sue
cess of the first night of the show. The
man to whom the most credit for this
is probably due is T. Oliver Probey.

president of the association. He has
worked increasingly to get everything
In running order at the appointed hour
and has been assisted zealously by the
other officers and members of the as

tion at the way things had run off
last night and many of them are adding
to the interest of the exhibition by giving

Cite Objections to Trust Bills.
In the course of the hearing on the
Governors corporation bills, known as
the seven sisters" to-day, the Governor
learned of the objections to the bills
made by the corporation attorneys. The
corporation attorneys wanted the word
''willfuT' inserted wherever a prison PEN
atty is prescribed for a violation. They
urged that a corporation official must
willfully have violated the law befofe
being liable to the penalty. The Gov
ernor smiled when he learned of this.
THE whole phraseology OF these bills
was very minuteIy considered" he said.
Il do not see any reason for holding
many of these hearings. because once you
set out to cover the iield you would have
to hear every business man in the United
States
The Governor remained at his post un-
til the Legislature adjourned late this
evening.
The Governor regretted that New Jer-
sey had not had the honor of clinching
the ratification of the income tax amend
ment. He said that he had no plans for
a bill on this subject through
Congress. He had not given the matter
any thought, he said.

BEST STOKES AT LITTLE COST.

The fiction writer is having his inning
these days. Good short stories are
commanding prices that range from
SIS to $3.50 apiece, according to the
fame of the author, while the demand
grows keener every year, It's an ex-
tremely expensive thing to publish a
high-class magazine nowadays, filled
with the work of the most famous
authors and artists. Yet it is exactly
such a magazine that The CHICAGO
RECORD HERALD furnishes as regular
part of it's Sunday issue.
The Sunday Magazine of THE Re-
CoRD-HERALD is real magazine,
beautifully illustrated by the foremost
artists of the day and filled with the
best stories, articles and serial novels
that money can buy. BY clever
stroke of enterprise year or two ago
its editors turned steady stream of
the finest short stories into its columns.
We refer to it's $4,000 prize contest.
The result of that unique contest has
been to raise the Sunday Magazine of
The RECoRD-HERALD to the top rank
as regards short stories and serial
novels. 1t now numbers among it's
contributors such writer's as Conan
Doyle, Rider Haggard, Jack London,
Rex Beach, Roy Norton, Owen john
son. Amelie Rivers. Mollv Elliott Sea-
well, George Barr McCutcheon, Rich
ard LIE Galienne, Lloyd Osborn and
so on through long list of noted
names. The illustrations, too, are as
fine as the stories, being the york OF
Flagg, Fisher, Coll and other great
artists.
By all odds the best literary and
artistic treat offered to newspaper
readers today is the Sunday Magazine
of THE RECoRD-HERALD.
