In Morgue Thirteen Days.

With no identifying marks on the
clothing or articles in the pockets, the
body lay in Fordham morgue for thir-
teen days awaiting Identification, This
morning it was sent to Bellevue morgue.
There was stationed Peter Purfeld a
policeman, who had known ''Big Tim ~
and liked him before his mind became
clouded. Something about the express
sion of the features stirred Purfeld s
memory. By and by, after he had pom
dered an hour or so, Purield remarked
to reporter, ''That looks little bit
like Big Tim

discolored face, tho reporter thought
so, too. The telephone brought "Big

House to discuss district judge and
United States attorney in the southern
district of Florida The Presiden re-
ceived them courteousIy but asked
them to make their recommendation
to the attorney general.
Office seekers have discovered that
the political plum tree of 1913 bore
little fruit, having suffered from the
blight of extended civil service rules
and the added requisite of familiar
ity with the complications existing in
government departments. In conse-
quence scores of disappointed job
hunters are cooling their heels in the
hotels of the Capitol and bemoaning
their fate.
To these unfortunates who expect
ed to profit personally through the
incoming administration, President
Wilson's statement of yesterday came
as a further shock. The Presidents
determination, not to see office seek
ers after positions unless he sends for
them, virtually closed the main ave-
nue. to the goal of official positions.
"A further complication is found IN
the fact that the heads of the various
departments, being new in their po-
sitions, are evincfng no haste in maxi
ing changes in the stats over which
they preside.

Washington, March 6.-There will
be a marked reduction in the amount
of gold lace to be seen around the
White House during the adninistra-
ton If President Wilson carries his
present plan to reduce the number or
military aides which have attended
the two former Presidents.
f It became known today that Major
Thomas l. Rhodes, u S. A., who was
military aide and medical adviser to
President Taft, had recommended that
the present corps Of Il officers of the
army, navy and marine corps be cut
in half. Furthermore. President will
con probably will dispense with the
presence OF a uniformed aide in his
travels about the country.
The present system of personal
military staff at the White House was
created by President Roosevelt and
Continued by President Taft
Major Archibald w. Butt, who lost
his life in the Titanic disaster, was
responsible for establishing the pres
emit custom of wearing full dress uni
form while accompanying the former
President. He felt that, as he was on
duty, he should conform to the regu-
1ations and appear in uniform. His
understanding of the regulations was
accepted by his brother officers on
duty at the White House.

TIRE EXPORTS s,s22, 1873;
ENGINES EXCEED MILLION

Automobile engines, tires and parts
to the value of $8,e63,547 were ex-
ported from the United States to
foreign countries during the calendar
year of 1912 from the advance report
Of the department of commerce and
labor, which figures are supplement
tary to the car exports, valued at $23,-
7O3,989; during the preceding year,
1911, this figure was $5,913,7O9. Dur
ing the two years the value of the
several items making up these totals
were: Engines. 1911, $201.4o9. 1912.
1912, $5,222,1S3 Parts, 1911, $3,254,-
123; 1912, $4,604,129.. The engines
for Gil, however, are for the last six
months only, they not being separate
ly listed prior to July l.
In December, 1912, parts to the
value OF 1857 1854 were exported, while
in the same month of the preceding
year the figures was $302,e35. The tire
exports in these same. comparative
months were: December, 1911, $780,

lively, 972 cars, value at $2,O98,4 81.

found In the December imports in that

FREAK MACHINES ON THE wANE

: Freak cars are on the wane; in fact
they are already conspicuous by their
absence. Manufacturers have stan
dardized their products more or less,
are differences of material and of
construction, rather than differences
in mechanical principles.
There was the original eight-cy1in-
der car. the output of a manufacturer
who then had his heart set on making
before the day of. the six and mo-
thing more numerous as to the cy1in-
ders than a four had been seen.
The Eight was conceived with no
appreciation of the INCREASED torque
provided by six but simply with
the idea of multiplying the horse
power by Increasing the units which
created it. Old time motorists will re-
call how the eight was towed to the
Vanderbilt cup course and how there
it proceeded to blow the cylinder
heads out of most of its eight cylfn-
ders. It never ran under its own
power SO far as anyone recalls
Since then a successful EIGHT has
been put on the market with offset
cylinders set in a V shaped motor, and
since it has been operated successfully
it may deserve not to be called a
freak.
A car which may be sold somewhere
from this territory, was what was
known as the 'gyroscope car" 1t
was supposed to be impossible to turn
over, for the f1ywheel was swung par
alleI with the ground instead of YER
tica1ly to it, and its motion, was sup
posed to act as gyroScope acts. In
practice it didn't do any such thing.
Another freak which many engi-
neers believe is destined to revoIu-
tionize the various systems of trans
mission was the car with the hydrau-
lie drive. A system of oi1-fi11ed cylin-
ders took the place of gears and gear
shifts, and to vary the speed the oper-
ator had simply to move a single lever
forward or back. He didn't even need
any brakes, since the lever on a dead
center, kept the wheels from revolv-
ing at all. In practice this drive
proved to transmit to the wheels a
greater proportion of power than that
provided by any other drive, and the
greatest objection was its town weight
This is what engineers expect to be
remedied soon.
