Gamboa Calls Rumored Cabinet
Changes Pure Fancy, but Ex-

[By Cable 10 The Tribune. ]

Mexico City. Sept. 13.-The execution
at Puebla OF the assassins of German
and his wife and several Spaniards, who
were killed at a Covadonca cotton fac
tory in 1911, has given rise TO consider
able comment, as some OF the criminals
had appeals pending and judicial pro-
cedures had not been exhausted. Ger
nan Minister Won Hintze often COM
, Llained to the Madero government
about the slowness of the proceedings,
and was invariably told that the law
must take its course and that the ac-
cused must have the full benefit OF all
legal expedients.
Apparently Won Hintze did not find
official scruples so strong at present.
at any rate, the crime was an atroclous
one and aroused strong sentiments Oh
Indignation, especially as the woman
victim was killed with every circum-
stance OF barbarity. Consequently
there is not much sympathy for the
criminals. but the question oil principie
is being warmly canvassed.
II is rumored that Rodolfo Reyes
who has resigned the portfolio OF JUS

OF the circumstances following the arrest
OF Matthews. 1t was alleged that
Matthews and his assistant accepted $500

would protect Brito from arrest. but this
allegation was not subtsantiated.
The reason assigned by the Department
Of Justice for the dismissal Of Matthews

Hearst Still Mysterious.

Just what William Randolph Hearst
has In his mind Is still worrying the
political leaders. II was reported again
yesterday that Mr.. Hearst was In poor
health and had decided that he could
take no active part In the campaign.
According to this report he would not
return from the West before the end Of
the month and then would go abroad
almost Immediately for the winter.
None of the friends Of the editor would
confirm this report
Tammany was said to be planning TO
capture the primaries Of the lndepen-
dence League Tuesday. much as II did
four years ago. The total enrolment is
only 1868 In the city, an average Of
about 10 10 an Assembly district. only
a small proportion of these enrolled
voters will attend the primaries, in all
probability. In some districts some Of
the enrolled members Of the organiZa
ton. who were put I'm there by Tam

OLD BICYCLE RECORDS.
Difference Between Them and Days
Auto Run.

To cover between daylight and dark a
hundred miles of country road was every
where recognized as a sterling feat in
the heyday of cycling. The "centur.
run" was a standard of endurance. and.
properly authenticated, received recogni-
ton from the national contest body.
To great extent. motorists have come
to pay similar attention to the double
century. Among many a veteran tourists
most pleasant memories is that of the
day when he and his covered 2eB
miles over a country road between break
fast and the evening stop.
Even the drivers of test cars at the
Detroit factories recognize the 200 mikes
as a real days work for man and auto.7
mobile George Meinzinger hero OF the
toughest Giidden pathfinding trip on rec
ord, who has driven Studebaker cars on
reliability contests and on factory en-.
durance tests for nearly five years, has
pronounced ideas on the subject: -

.ELECTR|CS SHOWING GAIN
Public Beginning to Appreciate
Their Many Advantages
in the City.

From figures which have recently been
published in some Of the automobile
papers it has been stated that there will
be approximately 100000 automobiles
manufactured and sold during the year
1913 few years ago only a very small
percentage of the motor cars manufac-
tured were propelled by electricity. but
the public are more and more appreciat-
ing the distinct advantages of the cleo
trio car and next year there will be more
"electrics'' manufactured and sold than
in several previous years together.
The natural popularity associated with
a vehicle of great speed has no doubt
been a great impetus in the use Of gas
cars For city and suburban use, how
ever, for pleasure and especially for COM
mercial purposes, the electric has be-
come recognized as most fitting. rella-
BILE and economical conveyance.
An objection which IS sometimes raised
against electric cars Is that of limited
mileage capacity. This objection is with
out foundation. when the service for
which electric cars are designed and the
mileage results that are being constantly
obtained are taken into consideration.
The battery in an electric car will give
ample mileage for any service for which
''electrics' are suitable. The speed of
electric pleasure cars does not place them
in the touring cars, and it is very infre
quent that the owner of an electric"
would use his Car for long touring pur-
poses.

TRUCKS BOOM BUSINESS.
Motor Delivery Wagons Pleasing to
Enterprising Merchants.

mo merchant. whether he be in small
town or a big one. fails to welcome the
acquisition OF new people in his terri
tory" says George W. Bennett
1.-THE influx of additional population
means for him an increased business and
increased profits at the end of the year.
The erection and occupation of new
homes in his neighborhood is an added
asset for him, for invariably he gets a
share of the business the newcomers
bring. The installation of motor truck
system of delivery. to replace horses and
wagons. is exactly such an added asset.
for it brings more people within reach
of the store. regardless of whether new
homes be built.
1.-The motor truck is as valuable to a
merchant as the new block Of dwellings.
for it places those at a distance in prac-
tically the same territory would the
new homes under the old system of de-
livery. Not only is the truck an economy
over the former transportation methods.

Left-Side Drive Statistics.

Statistics show that by the left side
drive method now generally accepted by
automobile builders less trouble results
from bent and broken left front tenders,
says the general manager of a western
automobile company. who has taken the
trouble to keep close tab on this matter
during the past year. when his comp any
adopted the left side drive. He says:
I'VE used to get number of complaints
about damaged left-front tenders during
the days when our cars We're right-Side
driven. Other companies had the same
experience where the drivers miscalcu-
lated distances, or through carelessness
nipped passing cars, fences or telephone
poles. L have noticed. however, that
since the driver sits on the left side of
the car he gets better vision of the
road both ahead and behind. and is ena-
bled to negotiate corners and gauge the
distance between himself and a Iassing
car much better, and the fact that We
have no complaints of these tenders be-
ing damaged any more indicates to me
that in another way the left-side drive is
the logical method"
