A UTOMOBILE shows will soon be
IA a thing of the past. For the last
4 = two years manufacturers have
been steadily grumbling at the output of
cash and energy to maintain an exhibit
at the various expositions in the large
cities and this year the grumbling has
risen to an incessant roar. 1t is, how
ever. fact that all the well known
manufacturers and also the manufactu-
rers of automobile accessories will be
represented at the annual exhibit in
Grand Central palace in New York city
this month, despite threats and objec-
tions.
From what can be gathered from the
ckaff of gossip it seems that all the
manufacturers are willing to drop the
annual shows but each and everyone of
them are unwilling to take the step by
themselves. If this is the true condi-
ton of affairs some good samaritan
should get the manufacturers together
in an agreement to stop exhibiting at
the same time
1t is stated on excellent authority that
the annual expenditures of high class
amounts to s25.O00,00O and as this sum
in the last analysis comes out of the
pocket of the man who buys the auto
mobile the sympathies of the motor car
owner is naturally with the manufac-
turer in this instance.
There is little to be said in favor of
the automobile shows. They mean very
little advertising to any one company
and the sales accrued at the various
shows in the last few years have not
merited the expenditures of the manufac-
turers. And as the tendency is toward
lowering the cost of manufacture and
cost of distribution it is not a far cry
to the elimination of automobile shows
by 1915.

1T is well known that the labor of
pumping up a tire by hand is so irk-
some that many times a driver will run
his car on tires debated below the pres

manufacturers, in fact, have declared
that the limited mileage secured by many

CRAIGS TRIAL TO BE ONE OF THE MOST
SENSATIONAL IN INDIANAPOLIS ANNALS

Indianapolis, Jan. s.-The trial Of
DR.. William B. Craig, of this city, for
the murder of DR.. Helene Knabe,
whose death occurred on the night Of
October %, 1911. promises to be one
of the most sensational ever heard in
Indianapolis. DR.. Craig is enjoying his
liberty now only because he was able
to furnish $4,000 bail bond when he
was arrested here few days ago. The
date of his trial has not yet been fixed,
but 1t will probably occur within the
next six months.
DR.. Craig is dean OF the Indiana
Veterinary College and prominent in
this city. DIR. Knabe, of whose MUIR
der he is accused, was a weu-known
pathologist and a lecturer in Craig's
college at the time Of her death.
DR.. Helene Knabe was a woman who
had worked her way from a German
emigrant to a high place in her pro-
fesSion. She lived alone in an apart
ment on one Of the busiest corners in
Indianapolis. Her office girl, Katherine
MCPHERSON, found the body on the
morning after the crime had been COM
mitted. The body with the night dress
rolled up under the arms, was lying
across the bed. The head had been
almost severed.
A remarkable feature of the mystery
was the absence of blood stains.
There were no signs of conflict: no
weapon that could have been used to
inhict death; nothing to indicate how
any one entered or left the apartment.
The police were mystified. They final
ly concluded that DR.. Knabe was a
suicide, although they could not ac-
count for the missing weapons and the
absence Of blood stains.
After the police gave up, the Indian
apolis Council Of Women, composed of
some Of the most prominent women in
Indiana, started in to solve the crime.
They employed H. c. Webster, a pri-
vate detective, to hunt the murderer
The recent grand jury indictments
against Craig and against DIR. Rags
dale, an undertaken, accused Of being
an accessory to the crime, came as a
result of the detectives work.
The detective showed in his report
tc the grand jury that DIR. Knabe was
persistent visitor at the Craig home
only two weeks prior to her death
that DR.. Craig and DR.. Knabe were
intimate friends; that DR.. Knabe in
sisted upon Craig's marrying her; that
on the night of her death DR.. Knabe

Congratulations to
The New Board.

The Journal congratulates the new
board Of county commissioners on its
new organization and on its good
judgment as well in the selection of a
county attorney.
Judge Jno. c. Avery. the new attor-
ney, is one Of F1orida's most eminent
counsellors and the people have i'm
piicit confidence in his ability to han
die the important legal problems with
which the new board will be con-
fronted.
The election Of Commissioner Bar
rineau as chairman is an honor which
we have no doubt will be amply justi-
fled by the good business judgment
which all who know him expect to see
exercised under his administration.
The other selections by the board
are equally creditable and we predict
that the people win have no cause to
complain of the administration of the
important work which the board will
this year have to do.
The old board Of county commits
sioners and the county attorney, Mr.
Reese, had much to contend with, par
ticularly in the matter of the county
jail contract. This contract was in
herited by the old board, just as the
present Jail contract suit is inherited
by the new board. The old board and
its attorney did good service In the
protection of the peoples interests,
and the new board we have no doubt
viii do equally good service in the
protection OF the public interests at
stake in the present suit.

and Imprisonment to smoke cigarettes
in a telephone booth.
Place a prohibitive tariff on import
ed titles.
Prohibit the transportation Of grape
fruit from one state to another.
Made the manufacture of prickly un-

Pass law providing that every seat
in every theater shall be in the fifth
row on the aisle.
Ten years and 500 fine for every
man who has his photograph taken
with his head resting on his hand.
Prohibit the audible chewing Of gum
during matinees.
Life Imprisonment for a man who
fails to shovel the snow on his side

The Meanest
Sufragist Outrage.

OF all the foolish and wicked things
which the militant sufrragists in Eng
land have done. the meanest Is their
extensive raid. carefully planned, on
the postal letter boxes in London when
they were filed with holiday mail.
These misguided women poured black
and red fluids into the boxes for the
purpose Of obliterating the addresses
on the parcels.
This is not striking at the govern
ment. It is not attacking public men
in office. 1t isn't even playing poll
tics. It is simply an attempt to cause
tie greatest possible trouble and heart
ache with the least possible risk.
Imagine the state Of mind OF women
who could deliberately set to work to
prevent thousands of holiday pack
ages. the property Of other people who
had done them no wrong, from getting
TO their destination for the holiday
which means more to children than to
anyone else. Here Is 4 deliberate ef-
fort to deprive a great number of boys
and girls, as well as older folks, of
the joy which these remembrances
give. It is impossible to measure the
disappointment and mental distress
which could be caused by blotting out
the addresses on even small fraction
of the mail handled in city like Lon
don.
If such tactics could overawe the
British ministry and force it to beg for
peace on whatever terms the suffra-
gists might demand, what would
these women think Of men who gave
way to attacks which are criminal and
destructive of the rights of innocent
private citizens? Could the suffragists
themselves have any respect for sc
weak and cowardly 3 government?
This country has many troubles oi
its own. but fortunately it has no pes
like the lawless. reckless and alto,
gether demoralizing sufrragists whc
