YOUNG MILLIONAIRE
ASTONISHES ST. LOUIS
J. d. Wooster Lambert Buys a $1,000
Cole Auto to Go to Ball in
Comfort.

st. Louis. Mo, Jan. III. D. Wooster
Lambert, eccentric millionaire, repuated
to be the wea!thiest young bachelor in
stunts" Mr. Lambert would think
nothing of spending several thousand
dollars to crafty a passing within, and
, recently bought a 5000 Cole limousine
just TO attend the famous Busch ball.
Mr.. Lambert is owner of the Oxford
apartments, one of the most exclusive
here. He bought this building just be-
cause he wanted a place to entertain his
guests.
Mr.. Lambert. who is a brother of AL
bert Bond Lambert, former head of the
st. Louis Aero Club, is something of an
aviator himself. and while attending
Princeton University took part in sew
eral flights. Mr.. Lambert spent a for
tune to become the head of the Bowlers
Congress.
About to attend the debut of Miss
Marie Busch, granddaughter of AdoIphus
Busch. the multimillionaire brewer, Mr.
Lambert found that he was In need of
another automobile Although he owned
six, none of these was of the closed
variety nor large enough to hold the
party of four he wished to take to the
ball at Sunset Inn. He had an 5000
imported car ordered, but this did not
arrive in time for the ball.
As he was passing the Bagnell Auto
Company's show window, he happened
to see a Cole limousine, just such a car
as he needed for the ball, and without
any hesitation went in and purchased it.
Two questions with answers sufficed to
close the deal.

MOTOR SHOWS WILL
STIMULATE BUSINESS
Harry S. Houpt, of the Alec Automo-
bile Firm, Is Sponsor for
Above,

That the approaching motor shows will
stimulate business all over the country
is the opinion of Harry S. Houpt, the
Alec general sales manager.
THE shows have always been an i'm
petus to business" continued Mr.. Houpt,
land l believe this years exhibits will
do more than ever toward increasing the
popularity of motor trucks, both in the
cities and in the small towns.
There are this year almost twice as
many shows where motor trucks will be
on view.
The motor truck industry has become
such a large industry that in New York
the exhibits will occupy two buildings
Madison Square Garden and Grand Cen
trail Palace In Chicago it will require
the Coliseum. the Annex, and an armory
adjoining. In Philadelphia more space is
found necessary.
This year has been an extremely pros
porous year. Many of the farmers have
just received the benefits from their
crops. The shows will do a lot to attract
their attention toward the motor car and
the motor truck.
In large cities the business men are
not requiring demonstrations as often as
heretofore. They are purchasing the
better known trucks. The shows will
give the opportunity to look over all the
trucks at one time during. the day."

WEEKS Of JOY
FOR CAR owners
Automobile Show and Also
Carnival to Come in
Early February. I.
DEALERS OBTAIN SPACE
Many Novel Features, Including Pa
rades, Part of the Carni-
val Idea.
DEALERS OBTAIN SPACE

Every man, woman and child in WASH
lngton who is interested in things auto
mohillstic and who can differentiate be-
tween a spark plug and a car set UP
ready for the road and fully equipped
with extra tires and lamps is looking
forward with the keenest anticipation to
the two weeksbeg inning February 3.
Those two weeks will mark what prob
ably Will be the most extensive auto
mobile display ever held in Washing
ton. The time will be divided between
the automobile show to be held in Con-
Vention Hall. Fifth and X Streets. ana
the automobile carnival that will be In
full swing in all parts of the city. 1t
will be a big time from the standpoint
Ct the automobile enthusiast and those
interested in each of the two attractions
wing with each other for attraction of
display
The show is to be the first on the
programme. 1t will commence February
and run until February s. The big
: floor space in the Convention Hall will
be divided into booths to be devoted to
the displays of the different automobiles
and accessories. The United States Ma
rine Band will furnish the music to en-

promises other entertainment features of
worth.
Many of the sections in the hall have
Some are still hanging off for a few
days in order to ind out before booking
space just what their factories are going
to be able to do for them in the way of
feature displays, but in few days the
booths will all be engaged.
Automobile Carnival
While entirely different in conception
the automobile carnival promises to be
none the less striking and entertaining.
1t will be comprised OF daily parade
through the principal streets OF the city
and of separate displays and entertain
ments in the different auto salesrooms.
The parade will be made up of floats and
displays. over which the entrants have
been cudgeling their brains for weeks to
devise some new and startling trick TO
catch the eye.
Also each of the automobile agents of
the city is planning TO turn his salesroom
into reception room during the car
nivaI. where interested persons will be
received, shown the special exhibition
that will be provided, and in most case,
entertained with some specially prepared
programme
There is to he a meeting Of the car
nival committee in the near future when
the final details of the attraction will
be mapped out and the finishing touches
put on the entire plan.
Those at the head of the carnival idea
are strong in praise for that form of au-
tomobile exhibition feeling that large
part Of its attraction lies in the spirit of
hospitality it represents. They are work
ing night and day to have their displays
in order and their salesrooms looking
their pretticst All those who love to
look. talk, and think automobile will be
welcome

The Police Force.

Yesterdays suffrage parade in this city
was given ample police protection. Not
whisper of criticism can be heard
against the police force for its failure in
point of numbers or efficiency on this &C.
casion. Indeed, the only objection that
could possibly be raised to the official es-
cort was that II was SO numerous that at
times 1t was difficult TO see the paraders
for the police. The suffragists. marching
in double file. had several times the
amount of room they needed for their
procession, and while the line was short.
stretching over only three blocks, ii was
Unquestionably impressive.
In one sense the police escort of the
suffragists afforded an important object
lesson. 1t is stated that it consisted of
Just fifty more men than are on duty at
night in this District guarding the lives
and property of the people. Possibly Maj.
sylvester saw an opportunity on this oc-
casion TO emphasize the inadequacy of
his force for ordinary police duties while
showing that it was more than large
enough to take care of a three-sQuare line
of marchers. 1t is to be hoped that many
members of Congress saw the suffrage
parade and it's more than adequate police
guard and are now fully informed as to
the relationship OF this escort TO the regu-
lar nightly patrol of the capital. That
the police. force Of the city is too small
should be apparent to any one who stud
les the conditions here.

issue. Mr.. Bryan did not abandon, or
even change. his tariff views. He re-
manned an advocate of a tarin for
revenue only, and is still committed to
that policy. His open quarrel with Mr..
Underwood two years ago was based
upon his opinion that the latter was
not altogether sound on the tariff. He
suspected and accused him of protec-
ton leanings. Although he parted COM
pany with Mr. Cleveland on the money
issue. and denounced<the latters second
administration as a bunco game. he re-
manned in sympathy with Mr.. Cieve-
lands tariff efforts.
In discussing coinage Mr.. Bryan has
often discussed the currency. In fact.
he has ranged over that whole field.
and not only criticised existing condi-
ticns. but made many suggestions
about changes. He has currency
plan, as he has tariff plan. and as in
his first and second races. for the presi-
dency he had a coinage plan.
Had he been nominated at Baltimore
and elected. Mr. Bryan would probably
have taken the course Mr. Wilson has
taken. and put the tariff first for con-
gressional action, with the currency to
follow He would have recommended a
tariff for revenue only-that is. the
closest approach to the policy under
existing business conditions-and a
currency plan opposed in every essen
tial particular to the Aldrich plan
But instead of first place. fate de-
creed the second to Mr.. Bryan in the
change from republican to democratic
control and he purposes to abide by
the decision He will not attempt tar
iff negotiations with Mr. Underwood
whose views he does not snare. and he
will not make suggestions about cur
rency reform for fear his free silver
record might be quoted by the opposl-'
ton TO his party's prejudice in the east.
where its difficulties about the question
are already great.
This attitude is creditable to Mr.
Bryan in every way. 1t may tax his
resolution to withstand the private
pressure likely to be brought to force
him into the ring, but he owes it to
himself to stay outside The task in
hand is for Mr.. Wilson.

The Message and the Bill.

A. was expected from the report as to
it's length. the Presidents message Is con-
fined 10 eeneralit.es. The bill. introduced
by Mir. Underwood yesterday. is the thing.
and must read the trend and purpose
of the democracy in that Mr. Wilson
speaks in detail through the bill.
We are told that the new fiscal policy
has not the destruction of industries es-
tablshed under the old foT its object. The
design is TO bring all business into har-
mony with larger development. The doom

ate has ideas of it's own as to the value
of the garment. and will get something
in the transaction.
Still. as matters stand today, this is
the basis of debate. and it is entitled to
the most respectful consideration. The
country in two years has twice voted for
a downward revision of the tariff, and
here is the response from the President
and one branch of the Congress elected to
carry out the cuuntry's wishes. Down

ton relates TO how far down revision
shall go. The republicans themselves If
in power would revise the Payne law.

Mr.. Bryan and Congress.

II is again announced that Mr.. Bryan
will take no part either in tariff or
currency legislation" Probably there
was a reason for emphasizing the first
declaration.
On both subjects Mr.. Bryan has pro-
nounced convictions. He was tariff
reformer before he was financial re-
former He Numbered for free trade
before he did for free silver. In fact,
he was elected TO Congress on the tariff
issue. and was complimented by an i'm
mediate assignment to ways and
means -
He helped prepare the Wilson rerii
sion of twenty years ago. and supported
Chairman Wilson in the losing contests
with the Senate over senate apieRd-
ments. His tariff speeches in the
House brought him his first national
notice.
