BETTER FERRY SERVICE.
New Boat From Wilmington I'm
proves Trip to Atlantic City.

Automobile owners who purpose trip
to Atlantic City or some other New
Jersey point will be interested In the
announcement that the Wilmington and
New Jersey Ferry Company, which
operates the line between Wilmington
and Pennsgrove, n. J., has put into
service the Long Beach, which is a
standard ferry boat This craft can
not only accommodate q much larger
number Of machines than the old one,
but it is also easier to get aboard of
or to leave at the other end OF the line
The boat is now making four trips a
day, but about May 80 a new schedule
will go into effect. under which the
number OF trips will be greatly In
creased.
Last summer q large number of
people took advantage OF the short
route by way OF Wilmington to Atlantic
City, and 1T is expected that the num-
Der will be greatly increased this sum-
mer. The driver taking advantage of
this route not only saves the distance
between Wilmington and Philadelphia,
but also avoids the didicult driving
through philadelphia and Camden, N. J.

AUTO MAN CRAzED
BY FLOOD DELAYS
Worry Over Loss of Business
and Joy When Promised Cars
Cause Temporary Insanity.

A well known Detroit automobile con-
Germ was visited by one of its big
Illinois agents. his object being to get
motor cars. He had been promised a
shipment OF twelve motor cars the pre-
vious week. but upon their failure to ar
rive he fastened TO the factory TO find
out the cause Of the delay. Upon his
arrival there every effort was made to
explain to him just why this delay had
taken place. he was told how flood

several other points through Ohio and
Indiana had tied up factories that were
doing Paige work He even learned
that several other automobile concerns
in Detroit were in the same boat.
By the time OF his arrival the factory
had already brought up its production to
its original schedule and conditions look
ed favorable again. He was shown
through the factory and when he left, to
all appearances. he was perfectly salts
fed in regard to receiving deliveries.
Crazy From Joy.
Word was received later from his part
ner that he had become demented while
on the train coming from Detroit. He
was placed in the care of a physician.

INTO EVERY STATE.
Knox Driver in Four-Cylinder Model
Plans to Complete Record Tour.


To be able to say that one had driven
his car into every state Of the Union
would be a proud boast for any automo-
bile owner. The claim will shortly be
made by Howell L. williams OF Bristol.
r. l., If present plans do not miscarry.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams made a long trip
from Rhode Island to Los Angeles Cal,
last summer in their Knox four-cylinder
Salt Lake City. Seattle and thence down
the coast, visiting large number OF
states en- route as a result Of numerous
side trips.
They now plan to return by a zigzag
route through the Grand Canyon of Texas,
thence north to Montana and the Dako-
tas. east to Chicago, down the Mississip-
pi valley to the gulf, and. finally. north
again through the Atlantic coast states.
This routing will take them through all
tho remaining states Of the Union and
thus enable them to make good their
boast.
Mr.. Williams. who Is an enthusiastic mo-
torist. says: my Knox car gave me such
splendid service ON the trip west, nego-
tiating without mechanical breakdown
roads which seemed well nigh impass-
able, that 1 naturally have unbounded
confidence in its ability to bring me safe

cope with the severe conditions encoun-
tered In transcontinental touring, and Its
hill-climbing ability, particularly on high
gear has never ceased to be a marvel to
me. We hear q great deal said about
six cylinder cars nowadays, but l cam
not understand how any one could de-
sire more power or f1exibility than is at
forded by my four-cylinder car. and
have certainly given It a thorough enough
ltest to know what Il can do In this re-
epect"

White Plant a Busy Place.

On the opposite side Of the town found
another busy place I'm the White Com
pany's plant This plant is one Of the larg-
est in Cleveland. A portion Of the vast
acreage Of buildings is devoted to the
construction OF sewing machines This
firm builds all Of its cars except that
material which is secured from a drop
forging plant which adjoins the fac
tory. The business is growing to such
an extent that q large addition is about
to be constructed at an early date. The
truck end of the business is in q pros
porous condition and growing every day.
The cars are put through the usual
road test before shipment is made. In
the rear of the plant are located the
shipping department, where special
facilities are afforded for the handling
Of the machines. The plant has many
new features, which have recently been
introduced, and are greatly facilitating
in the production of their pleasure cars
and trucks. All of the metals are heat
treated in separate buildings. The brass
and nickel plating plants proved of
more than passing interest.

cars are made and assembled in the fac
tory. A few are purchased In complete
assembled form from other manufac-
turers who specialize on particular parts.
The axles are all tested after their ar
rival from the manufacturer. This de-
partment is isolated, SO that no disturb
ance from the factory will interfere with
the inspectors effort to detect any UNI

operation. The motors are made to spec

When the chassis is completely assem-

the car is completed and fully equipped.

struct a large addition. The original
home Of this firm still stands out on West
25th street and around it has been con-

MURDERED ii g.! A,.O ..fs
Suppression" OF the Idle, Drunken
Head Of the Family Was
Decided on.

Paris-A small commune near Creil
has been the sceno OF savage crime
A man, an alleged drunkard and idler,
II is true. but, nevertheless, father of
a family OF FIVE children. has been
murdered by his son and wife. The
man was workman, and lived With
his family at Villiers Saint Paul. His
eldest son was nineteen. He had four
other children.
Two daughters. still under age, had
left their home because OF the alleged
cruelty and bad conduct OF their faith
err. He drank heavily, worked little,
and terrorized his wife and children.
His wife ahS eldest son seem to have
come to the conclusion between them
that II was best to suppress" him.
The son bought a revolver anu 20
cartridges. He was prepared to FIN
ish his father of" on the occasion OF
his first fresh quarrel.
The occasion was not long in COM
ing. The father returned in a bad
humor at s O'Clock in the evening, and
the quarrel began, as II had done often
before, over some trihe. The father
threatened to punch the head OF his
son, and the latter thereupon drew his
weapon and discharged six shots at
him. The. mother ran out of the
house, and the wounded man dragged
himself into the bedroom. The son
walked out OF the house and said to
his mother, HE is done for now"
That instant the man inside was heard
to groan. He is not dead at all, go
and finish him." said the mother.
The son went into the room and
found his father trying to get into the
bed, and groaning and bleeding from
his wounds. He took good aim this
time at his father, fired two shots and
killed him. An hour later mother and
son made up their minds TO go and
inform the police. The next morning
one OF her daughters, aged seventeen,
who had left her home, came to see
the mother in prison. The mother
made no secret of the story. She told
in the presence Of the gendarmes how
1t had been agreed some days before
between her and her eldest son to kill
her husband, who had become ter
ror to them all.
