New Henderson Cars Burn
Kerosene Instead of Gas

Mr.. Henderson found that kero-
sene increased the motors eff
cheney. This he discovered was
due to the fact that the new fuel
has a higher heat unit than gas
oline. The explosive power, how
ever; is not greater. It took less
Kerosene vapor than gasoline IN
the cylinders. No carbon devel-
oped in the motor, but on the con,
trary the new fuel prevented the
forming of carbon deposits.
The trip. with kerosene as fuel
was vital to the automobile indus
try, by reason OF the fact that
gasoline had mounted high In
price, and engineers were puzzled
as to the outcome. 1t kept peo-
pie from enjoying the fresh air
and pleasure to be gained from
touring. Some manufacturers saw
harm to the industry. Gasoline
ranges in price the country over
from 20 to 40 cents a gallon.
Both Mr.. Harroun and Mr..
Henderson were themselves sur
prised at the degree of success of
the experiment.

Engineers Have a
Formula for Comfortable
Cars, Based on ExperienCe

of a certain strength to give it the
maximum riding ease. These
things are all inter-related, and,
according to our experience,
must be correctly proportioned in
order to get the most satisfactory
results. In addition, the weight
must be properly distributed, and
the motor must have neither too
much power nor too little.
LAS soon as we had a car that
could be depended upon to run
and that was away back in 1903
we began to turn our attention
to the comfort side, developing
that right along with the mechan-
ism. Our engineers, in effect,
have been going to school all
these years and designing cars at
the same time. They sometimes
say laughingly that they have a
formula for designing comfort
able cars; and when you get right
down to it, that's exactly what
they have, and 1t is based On ex-
perience."

C09hcident with the return Of
the Indiana-to-the-Coas automo-
bile tourists to indianapolis, the
latest arrival, r. P. Henderson,
motor car designer. divulged i'm
portant discoveries resulting from
the use of kerosene for fuel in
stead of gasoline in two cars
which made the 4,015-mile trip.
Ray Harroun, we'll known as a
racing driver, and Mr.. Henderson
both drove cars that burned kero-
sene-a Henderson De Luke mod
ell and a new Henderson Six
1914 models of the Henderson
Motor Car company.
The cheapness of kerosene as
against gasoline was impressive.
Each car carried fire passen-
gers, the cost per passenger for
fuel being $3.50 each for the
4,015 miles, or about one-fifth of
the railroad excursion rate of $50
to California. In the De Luxe
model, $50 gallons of kerosene
We're used. The cost of the fuel
along the route ranged from z
cents to about IL cents a gallon.

The Henderson company began
putting out the new design of

was predicted by rival companies.
Instead, however. the machine
has won popular approval in the
east, and the large Henderson

"As a matter of fact, our engi-

drilled into them SO thoroughly
and SO continuously, and have
studied 1t SO keenly, that they
know what elements will pro-

READY TO AID IN
 INTERVENTION IN MEXICO

Little Rock, Feb. 25..-There is a great deal of interest in Little Rock over the Mexican situation, and a number of its patriotic citizens would be ready to join in an invasion should such a course be decided upon by the government at Washington. The Board of Trade Bulletin says:
 We don't know how t.le citizens of other sections of the United States feel away about the way the dirty Mexicans, half civilized as they are are acting, but in Arkansas the feel ing is decidedly bitter, and it is time that Uncle Sam's strong army was be- ing felt. It looked good to us tC see that husky bunch of fighters go- ing through Little Rock yesterday bound for the front. They were from Fort Leavenworth, and their trains stopped here only long enough to wa ter their horses-for they were cav alrymen ready for the fray. It is time to stop the savages down there and the United States ought to an mex Mexico and be done with it.

The contention of the state depart ment is that Wilson, being on the ground, has had ample opportunity to investigate and that no other in- vestigation is necessary. The only other act of importance that followed the receipt of the consuls dispatch was an order to General E. z. Steever, in charge of the federal troops on the border, to give Governor Colquitt any assistance he might need in suppress ing border disorders.
 At the same time word was received that Colquitt has applied to Steever who is located in Brownsville, for as sistance and had been told that none could be given without specific in- structions from Washington, which up to that time was not forthcoming.
 In the Army Building activities were still manifest. It was learned today that the order mobilizing the Second division at Galveston, will soon be followed by the dispatch of the first division at the same point.

Evidence Insufficient.

Washington, Feb. 25.-"The Texas indictments against John D. Archibald and the other Standard Oil officers purely because investigation disclosed there was insufficient evidence on which to proceed was the tatement which the Department of Justice au- thorized late this afternoon when in- quiry was made about the action in Dallas today. "A full investigation was made by representatives of the Department and it was deemed that the evidence was not strong enough" the statement added.
 Attorney General Wickersham, who personally handled the Texas case, is today en route to Washington from St. Louis, where he has been attend ing court in connection with the Southern Pacific-Union Pacific merger dissolution.
 ''I am tstounded at this action. per ticularly when District Attorney At well told several other Texas con- gressmen and myself that he had posi- tive evidence sufficient to convict all but one of the defendants,' was the way in which Representative Gardner, of Texas, received the news.

 SIGNED BY GOVERNOR
State Board of Health Measure Also Receives Executives
 Approval.

Little Rock, Feb. 2o.-Tippers, tip pines, tipperesses and tippees take notice. Governor Robinson today signed the bill known as the "antitip- ping bill, which makes it an offense against the peace and dignity of the commonwealth to solicit tips" or to have in your employ a person who follows the pleasant avocation of talk ing little things on the side from pat rons of cafes, hotels, Pullman cars, etc.
 The bill was introduced by Senator Rodgers of Howard and provides ap- propriate penalties in good substan- tial coin of the realm for all infrac- tions of the statute.

Princeton. Feb. 25.-IIardly had Preaident49lect Wilson's resignation with Secretary Of State Crater than the Democratic meOmcrs of the gen eral assembly organized a filibustel and tabled one of the governors pet measures-the jury commission bill that constituted a part of the reform program he hoped to put into effect before laying down the reign of of flee. The &tovernOr S appointments are now all in the hands Of the legis- lature and it's individual legislators whose friends are thus taken care of had nothing more to ask of the gover- nor and apparently nothing to give him in the way of support.
 The result was that the governor was in a fighting frame of mind in the afternoon and gave expression to some caustic criticism of the mon op- posing his program.
 ',Yes," he said, when the newspaper correspondents entered his private of flee for the evening conference, .it does look as if the jury commission bill is beaten, but I don't believe it. The opposition proceeds from well known sources. It is perfectly well known that the persons who are ex- erting pressure on the legislature te defeat this bill are those who wish tC control the grand juries of the state because they wish to break the law The people of the state will under stand that abundantly before l get through with it.'
 It had been hinted in the afternoon that the governor had made yelled 1 threats to go into Hudson county where the opposition is said to eman ate and tell the facts to the voters ir public speech. ..t,
 The governors resignation was placed in the hands of Secretary o State about noon. It goes into eff feet next Saturday, March l. The gov ernor also notified both houses of tht Legislature of his resignation and thu legislature will meet at noon Satur day to install Senator James F Fielder as acting governor.

GOVERNOR ROBINSON
 PARDONS A WOMAN

Little Rock, Feb Ex-Governor Robinson has granted pardons to Ben Wildmon and John Patton, of Prairie county, who were convicted in a jus tice of the peace court January 19, 1912, of petit larceny, and fined $1O and sentenced to seven days in jail, the pardon being to restore citizen ship.
 The governor remtted a forfeiture of $500 bond, taken against George F. Jones, bondsman for H. G. Wilson, who was indicted in Grant county for larceny, and failed to appear. Wilson had been arraigned for issuing a check on the Night and Day Bank of Little Rock, which was not paid be- cause of the failure of the bank, and through no fault of Wilson's. It was made to appear that had he answered the charge, it could not have been sustained, and that every effort is be- ing made by Jones to apprehend and deliver Wilson.
 Attorney F. G. Bridges spent yes terday in Little Rock, where he trans
