NEW YORK SHOW A
SIX TESTIMONIAL
Dominant Feature Emphasizes De.
gree to Which ''Six" Idea
Has Grown

Once more big annual New York
automobile show has come and gone.
Once more the manufacturers of mo-
tor cars have gathered. shown their
wares to the assembled thousands and
gone back home to resume their work
of supplying the great national de-
mand. And the public is again dis
cussing, as in the years gone by. the
distinctive features which the event
emphasized as refinements in the cur
rent models.
There can be no disagreement re-
garding the dominant feature of the
1914 show. 1t was pre-eminently
show Of Skies
The "Fours" were there in numbers
and with all the electrial equipment
and other improvements which have
come to be regarded as standard de-
velopments in design. But the 'Sixes'
were shown in proportion altogether
greater than ever before and at prices
which plainly showed that the Amer
lean six" is no longer a prerogative
of the very rich but is now available
at price which puts Six hexlblllty,
power and luxury well within the
reach of the man OF moderate means
The minimum result in price was at
tanned by the Studebaker Corporation
which showed a handsome, powerful
six-cylinder touring car. seating seven
passengers and priced at ,o75. Thls
model, furnished in three body types
touring, landau-roadster and SEDAN
was a center of interest both FOR snow
visitors and members OF the trade
The latter class pointed out the 1act
that the Studebaker Six is merely
a natural development of the wlde
demand for "SiXes" which has made
it possible for one of the leading
manufacturers to apply to six-cyl-
inder car the same principles oil great
volume production which have result
ed in the low priced ''Fours' with
which all motorists are familiar.
Unlike Studebaker, which maintains
that there is a definite function Tor
both "Sixes" and "Fours" and which |
builds both types, some manufactur-
ers have even more radically empha-
sized the modern trend by building
and exhibiting only skies TINS year
This has, of course, still further IN
creased the proportion OF skies
shown.
Aside from the fact that the 1871
event was a six" show, 1t Will do
down into history as the first in which
electric starting and lighting has be-
come recognized as standard equip
ment. Pneumatic, gas and spring de-
vices for starting were conspicuous pA
their absence. All the manufacturers
seem to have come to the same opinion
regarding the use of electricity not
only for starting and lighting but also
for ignition purposes.
1t was said at the show that no less
than 100, 900 cars would be bullt TINS
year, in which ignition is drawn from
the storage battery, instead of the old
time magnetic.

McCREERYS IN VIRGINIA
MAY BE $35, 900 HEIRS
Special Dispatch to The Star.

VIENNA, Va, April IA notice ap-
peared in a Loudoun county paper last
week to the effect that New York at
torney was seeking the heirs Of a man
named Nelson McCreery. supposed to have
years ago. He is said to have killed a
man in Virginia about thirty years ago
as a result OF love affair and then to
have disappeared. He is now dead and
has left an estate worth upward of
$35, 900.
The publication of this letter from the
New York attorney has developed the
strong probability that the heirs of Nelson
McCreery are living in Fairfax and Alex
andria counties although no one remem-
bers any one of that name killing a man.
Mrs. Nelson McCreery, now well ad-
yanced in years, is living at Oakton with
her son, Lester McCreery. Her husband
disappeared many years ago and has
never been heard from. though she never
heard Of the killing affair.
An old resident Of Fairfax, however,
remembers that a man named McCreery
years ago got into controversy with
another man in a poolroom in Washing
ton and struck him in the head with
cue, and afterward disappeared
Mrs McCreery has two sons, Lester,
living at Oakton, and Victor, who is en-
ployed at a hotel In Washington. There
are three daughters, two of whom, Mrs.
Bell and Mrs Putnam, live at Ballston.
The Oakton McCreerys have communi-
Gated with the New York lawyer. with
view to clearing up the identity of the

constitutiona1ists Claim Rights.

Constitutionalist leaders here authorized
to speak for the Carranza faction MAIN
tain that they have rights under the
constitution and under international law
to expel the Spaniards as they have done
and as they intend to continue to do.
They say that they can quote instances
where both the United States and Spain
ordered similar eXpulsions. They state
their case as follows:
In dealing with Spanish subjects DOM
iciled within territory occupied by the
constitutionalist forces the authorities. in
decreeing the expulsion Of certain Of
these persons. have been animated, first,
with a purpose to prevent them from
giving further assistance to the enemy.
and, second, to protect them from the
people who might. under present peculiar
conditions, commit acts Of violence
against them. At the same time 1t is
desired to be made known that not all
Spanish subjects within the territory
mentioned have been or are to be ex-
PEELED. but only those whom the authori-
ties have reason to believe have had di-
rect relations with the enemy. These
have been and will be forced to leave
the jurisdiction. In expelling these un-
desirable aliens the authorities find justi-
tication in article SO of the Mexican con-
stitution, which provides that such aliens
may be summarily deported. without re-
course to judicial proceedings. precisely
in the same manner as undesirable aliens
are summarily deported by the United
States immigration authorities

ConstitutionalistS Claim
All Rights of Nations
in ExpeIIing Spaniards

One of the most vexing problems Of the
State Department is just how far to go
in championing the cause OF the Span
iards who have been expelled or ordered
out of the territory held by the rebel
forces in Mexico. Seven hundred of these
Spaniards were driven out Of Torreon,
and others have received demands. that
they vacate adjacent territory. Official
dispatches yesterday stated that the
properties of these exiles are being con-
fiScated.
Spain, late yesterday, through Ambas-
sador Willard, requested the United
States to do all this government can to
protect the property rights of the exiled
Spaniards. This government has made
vigorous representations to Gen. Car
rama. the constitutionalist leader, and
consuls general in the territory held by
the rebel army have been instructed to
insist that race prejudice against the
Spaniards shall not interfere with the
safety of their lives and property.
In the face of these interventions by
the United States, Gen. Villa has de-
creed that the Spaniards must get out
of the territory he conquers, and in a
message, which he requested should be
transmitted to United States officials,
Gen. Carranza stated unequivocally that
he will support Gen. Villa in these Or
derS.

GEN. zARAGOzA REGRETS
ARREST OF j. S. MARINES
Rear Admiral Mayo Makes Report.
Vera Cruz Without
Ammunition.

VERA CRUZ. April 11.-A wireless dis
patch received today BY Rear Admiral
Fletcher from Rear Admiral Mayo at
Tampfco reported that Gen Morelos
Zaragoza had expressed his regret at
the arrest Of the American marines who
landed in Tampico Thursday to obtain
q supply of gasoline and requested that
he be given twenty-four hours in which
to consult the government at Mexico
City concerning the affair. Owing to bad
communications between Tampico and
the capital this time was readily grant
ed by Admiral Mayo.
Seeks More Ammunition.
Gen. zaragoza today made a request Of
Gen. Mas, the commandant here, for
more ammunition. and a supply was sent
to Tampico tonight on a merchant ves-
sci. The sending Of this ammunition
leaves Vera Cruz without supply and
none is expected here until consign-
ment arrives from the capital.
A wireless dispatch sent from the gun
boat Dolphin at Tampico to the battle
ship Florida, off Vera Cruz. said that
the cruiser Des Moines had left the
dock at Tampico Friday afternoon with
800 refugees on board and that the cruis-
expected more. The dispatch added that
passes had been issued for about LOCO
persons and there still were about 500
Chinese to be cared for. Admiral Mayo
reported that he was accepting refugees
on his ships without taking into con-
sideration their nationality.
Wants Two Transports.
The admiral strongly recommended
to Admiral Fletcher that he send to
Tampico two well provisioned trans
ports, saying that he did not know
how long the present situation would
continue. He added that If the trans
ports were not furnished promptly he
would be forced to send the battleship
to Vera Cruz for coal with
refugees on board.
Conditions at Tampfco were reported
to be in about the same state as they
were Friday. except that the rebels
had added the Panuco river to their
possessions.
Rear Admiral Cradock Of the British
naval feet made a tour OF inspection
up the river yesterday. but returned
to the cruiser Essex today.
