FRANK FLORA MAKES ARRANGE
MENTS FOR CONVENIENCE OF
BUICK OWNERS

Frank Flora has received the first
shipment of 1914 Bucks and has on
exhibit in his show room one of the
Model Is cars.
In speaking of this car Mr. Flora
said today: Il have been handling
Bucks for number of years, and al
though the Buick has already been a
satisfactory car to sell on account of
the little trouble it gives the user, l
have never seen car that approach
ed this new model, in completeness of
equipment, mechanical construction,
and refinement of finish, at the price y
This car at $1O50 is better than
any $4,000 car of five years ago. Think
Of car at this low price, equipped
with electric lights and Delco self
starter and ignition system. Left
hand drive, center control, and Buick
valve in the head motor which gives
Is to 20 per cent more power than any
L or T head motor of equal size. One
can not fully appreciate the superior
ity of this car without seeing and try
ing it."
Mr.. Flora says further that it was
his intention this winter to build an
addition to his present plant, to be
used exclusively for an automobile
garage and service station, and it was
his intention to give expert service to
all Buick owners as the pleasure Of
automobiling depends largely on the
proper running of the car. Mr.. Flora s
move for a service station is in the
right direction.

Pies and Cakes in Culinary
Exhibit Proved Big
Temptation.
PUNISHMENT is LIGHT
Principal Thompson, How.
ever, Lowers Grades on
Interest.

Fresh pies and cakes in the high
school culinary exhibit proved temp
tation for twelve students who could
no restrain their desire to see If the
exhibit was as good as it looked. They
ate all the food, but their consciences
began to torment them and they went
to Principal Thompson and confessed
the prank, saying that it was done
thoughtlessly, and that they would do
all in their power to make it right.
Miss Parsons, who mas charge of
the work in domestic science, had the
exhibit prepared Thursday and placed
in the display room. The next day she
was unable to attend school, leaving
the exhibit at the mercy of the hungry
students. Friday being the day on
which the students were scattering
over the building for their examina-
tions, more liberty than usual was al
lowed in the halls. While no one was
watching, the pupils entered the ex.
hibit room and made short work of
the display.
Had the guilty persons not confess
ed, Principal Thompson would have
followed the feast with serious punish
ment. Since the students have ex-
pressed their regret over the affair,
Mr.. Thompson will punish only by low
ering their grades in school citizen
ship.

TAFT COMPROMISE
HQTLY DENOUNCED
By Grand Jury in Report on
Oleomargarine Case
Made to Judge Lands.
(National News Association)

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE compro-
mise of the alleged oleomargine frauds
the last act of the Taft administra-
ton, was bitterly denounced in a re-
port of a grand jury which was writ
ten into the records of Federal Judge
Landis' court today. The grand jury
exonerated the manufacturers of oleo-
margarine of the charge of criminal
conspiracy to defraud the government,
and placed all the blame in the cases
upon the internal revenue and treas
ury departments of the last admins
tration.
The grand jury reported to Judge
Lands that after an exhaustive study
of the oleo question it had found that
artificially colored cottonseed had
been used in coloring oleomargarine,
making it subject to a tax of 10c a
pound; that the alleged frauds amount
ed to s2.000,000 instead of s1,200,000,
the amount on which the compromise
was based; and that the manufacture
ers were not parties to a scheme to
defraud, but that R. E. Cabell, former
commissioner of internal revenue, did
not attempt to get at the fatcs in the
cases

Harold Meade Tells of Ef-
forts of Hawaiian Planters
to Defeat Placing Sugar
Upon Free List.
(National News Association


WASHINGTON, June 11-A. War
rem Moore, publisher, and A. NJ. Ba-
ker, editor of the CourierNews of
Fargo, n. D., were summoned today by
wire to appear before the senate lob
bying investigation committee on the
request of Senator Gronna. This news
paper published Senator Kenyon's
statement about a lobby in Washing
ton and then made the following com
ment which Senator Gronna has con-
strued to refer to himself: "It is not
the theater ticket or lobbyster a la
Newburgh which gets his goat. 1t is
the coin of the realm and nothing else.
He has probably heard about it al
though he has testified that he knew
nothing of any existing lobby"
This comment was resented by
Gronna and he went on the witness
stand at his own request and demand
ed an investigation.
A Big Fund Raised.
Harold d. Meade of Honolulu relat-
ed in detail before the lobby investi-
gators how sugar planters in Hawaii
financed the campaign for the immi-
grafton of cheap labor by taxing
themselves two per cent of their
incomes. He denied that sugar could
be produced in Hawaii for two cents.
The work of statistical bureau main
tanned by the planters to collect fig
ures to offset opposition arguments
costs about $4,000 a year, said Mr..
Meade, whose salary is 900 month.
He has had entire charge of the Wash
ington campaign against free sugar.
He said that $500 had been spent in
newspaper advertising.
Perhaps you conclude you had bet
ter concentrate your efforts in Wash
ington?" suggested Senator Walsh in
comment on Meade's statement that
"boilerplate" publicity in the country
newspapers had been discontinued in
May.
Mr.. Meade made a detailed state
ment of his own expenses in Washing
ton since April II, which amounted
to $5,400. All of the expenses of the
domestic sugar producers campaign
against free sugar have been paid by
the Hawaiian planters, Mr.. Meade ad
mitted.

ITALIAN BOYS FORM
A FIRE DEPARTMENT
Set Fire to Straw Mattress
But it Was Necessary to
Call r. F. D.

A number of small Italian boys who
organized themselves into a fire de-
partment yesterday afternoon set fire
to a straw mattress which was in a
shed in the rear of the home of Mich
ael Robeno, 1872 North Fourteenth
street. The young fire fighters turned
in fire alarm from Box No. 6S, and
then hastened to put out the fire them
selves. The thick smoke drove them
away from the place, and they stood
around the shed watching the blaze
inside until hose companies arrived
and dragged the burning mattress out
side. None of those present at the
fire were able to speak English. and
before Fire Chief Miller can obtain
the necessary facts about the blaze
he will have TO secure an Italian in
terpreter. There was no loss.
