REVOLUTION IN
ECUADOR STILL
GOES ON DAILY
Revolutionists Have Cap
tured Important Seacoast
Town and President Plaza
is Having Trouble With
Outbreak.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Dec. 17.-News of the
capture by revolutionists of the i'm
portant sea coast town of Esmeraldas
in Northwestern Ecuador, leads off,
cials here to believe the government
of President Plaza may be severely
taxed to maintain itself in that sec
ton of the country, although, owing
to geographical conditions, it may be
well nigh impossible for the rebels to
follow up their success at Esmeraldas
by a march to the capital.
The present revolutionary move
ment is unknown to be purely per-
sonal and a continuation of the AL
faro revolutions of 1912. In August of
that year General Alfaro, who had
been president of Ecuador and was in
exile at Panama, returned to head a
then in command of the government
garrison at Guayaquil. The revolu-
ton lasted six weeks when Montero
of his generals, including Alfardo,
were killed and burned by a mob in
Quito.
General Concho was one of the few
survivors of the rebel army. He es-
capped into the north and has been
ever since fighting the government in
the wild mountain and jungle coun-
try. It is understood that he is re-
ceiving considerable financial support
and many recruits from the coast
towns whose inhabitants are said TO
be opposed to President Plaza's gov
ernment because Of the long standing
jealousy between the people Of the
Iowlands and the SierraZ.

NO MORE ALcO CARS
Bio Plant Closed After Sinking Six
Millions.

New York, Aug. 22.-The American
Locomotive Company, one of the
three largest makers of automobiles
in this country. announced yesterday
that it had decided to abandon the
manufacture of automobiles.
This decision was reached by the
Board of Directors at a meeting on
Aug. 10, but nothing was said about
il until after a second meeting held
yesterday. None of the officers OF
the American Locomotive Company
could be reached last night, but the
following statement was given out
on behalf OF President w. II. Mar
shall, who is at Cape Coo.
THE directors of this company, at
a meeting held on Aug. 10. decided
to discontinue the manufacture and
sale of automobiles and motor
trucks.
The company takes this opportuni
ty to assure all owners of Alec We
hicles that arrangements will be
made to furnish them with repair
parts for a period not less than five
years to come; further. that it will
fulfill in every respect its obligations
given under guarantee to its custo-
mers"
The Alec has been the highest pric
ed car made in this country, most of
the pleasure cars selling for $4,000.
In the past three or four years the
company has been pushing the man
ufacture and sale OF heavy trucks as
a more profitable end OF the business

manufacturers OF commercial vehiL

makes more taxicabs than any other
concern in the United States. The
Alec has enjoyed the distinction of
being the only automobile to win the
Vanderbilt Cup twice. IL won the
great classic in 1909 and repeated
the performance in 1910.
So far as could be learned last
night from men familiar with the
company's affairs. the Alec car is not

the cost of getting raw material to
providence, aud delays in making
deliveries. The latter factor is said
TO have played an important part in
running up costs. II is asserted that
one-third of the company's output in
recent years has reached the market
after the season has closd. One
weltknown authority in the trade
said last night that the company op-
Grated al loss of 100000 last year.
In an attempt 10 lower unit costs
by increasing the volume of sales
Harry 5. Houpt was engaged as gen
eral sales manager two and a half
years ago. At that time the com.
pany had only four agencies. With
a liberal advertising appropriation
Mr.. Houpt began an aggressive cam.
paign. which resulted in an increase
OF 500 per cent. in the sales and the
acquisition of eighty.nine agencies
for placing the cars Houpt left the
Alec company last March to take the
New York agency of the Loozier.
The company's trucks have been
bigsellers. The company had the
distinction a few months ago of OBJ
tanning the largest single order ever
placed for motor cars. This called

trucks for the mail-carrying service
