streets, and Coroner Jacob Eckinger
was notified.
Sites is believed to have taken
poison, but no poison vial was found.
In one of his coat pockets was a re-
volver. What poison Sites used has
not been determined.
Coroner Eckinger decided not to
hold a post mortem upon hearing
from the father of the young man,
William II. Sites, of New Benton. The
elder Sites received letter from his
son saying he intended to end his
troubles with poison. In the letter
Sites said he had too many domestic
troubles, brought on by outsiders who
prejudiced his wife against him. He
said he wanted no fuss" made over
his death Sites requested his father
to take charge of his body, give 1T a
proper burial, and pay all expenses
and debts, The body was turned over
to the father by Coroner Eckinger this
afternoon.
Following Sites appearance in court
yesterday to answer charge of non
maintenance, he went to his boarding
house, 1907 Capital street and brood
ed over his troubles, telling several
friends that he would rather die than
obey the order of the court. Sites went
out early in the evening but returned
early and went to his room. About 3
o'clock this. morning Mrs. Susan Nit
chell, the boarding mistress, heard
Sites leave the house.
The next to the last chapter of the
tragic little domestic story of the sun
dered house of Sites was told yester-
day afternoon at the continued session
of September nonsupport court when
pretty Mrs. John II. Sites appeared
against her husband in a nonsupport
suit. The court awarded her an or
der of $40 monthly.
The young husband recently entered
suit for $4,000 damages for alienation
OF his wife's affections against James
w. and Lucy Sloop several weeks ago
Sites contended, in filing his suit, that
the Sloops came to live with him and
finally turned his wife against him.
The Sloops, it appeared. had much
to do with the separation of Sites and
his young wife and Sites eventually
ed her when he was intoxicated. Mrs
Sites said; Sites declared he never did
and that the roughness of which he
was accused was due only to play
fulness w. l.. Loeser, of counsel for
Mrs. Sites, showed the court sufficient
evidence however, to obtain a $40
order for support.
The Story That Never Was Told
Phil S. Meyer, counsel for Sites, was
amazed when a Telegraph reporter
told him of the finding of the body
of his client, lying cold in the park
The theory that the young man, hus.
band for eleven years, a father fol
nine years, grieved for his wife wa:

REMOVABLE SEDAN
TOP FOR HUPMOBILE
Has Dome Light, Adjustable Win
dows, And Can Be Easily
Applied to Models

Announcement has recently been
made by the Hupp Motor Car Co. of a
removable Sedan top for the touring car
and removable coupe top for the
roadster model to be used for winter
driving.
Winter driving with the motorist is
becoming more and more popular every
season. said +. A. Harris, commercial
manager of the Hupp Mortor Car Com
pany, but the majority OF motor car
owners have not been able to bear the
expense of two models, an enclosed car
FOR winter and then open car for the
summer months. For this reason we
ing removable tops for both the touring
and roadster model Hupmobiles.
AT slight additional cost the tour
ing car can be converted into an en-
closed Sedan car and the roadster can
be made into luxurious coupe.
Now Hupmobile owners have the ad-
vantage of owning two cars at the
price of one and we know this is going
to take the eye of the buying public
The most remarkable feature OF
these new tops is the fact that the
owner can apply same with the assist
ance of another person-no tools are
needed but screw driver and a
monkey wrench. a.
The equipment of the enclosed cars
sacrifice any of the luxuriousness
found in the most expensive types OF
motor cars. There is dome light; the
windows are adjustable for ventilation
and are made out of high quality couch
glass; door handles have been added
and the interior is covered with a fawr
colored head lining, which adds a dis
tinctive at mosphere of high quality tc
the car.
"The material and workmanship OF
the new Sedan and Coupe Hupmobile is
worth especial attention. The frame
is made of wood and aluminium rigidly
fastened with forged supports to in
sure freedom from rafting. 1t Is per.
there is no chance for wind water OF
sun to sieve through The excellent
finish of the new tops gives conform
ity of appearance between the body
lines and top proper that is found only
in high grade coach work.
Removable tops are now being ship
ped to all our distributors. The cars
with the enclosed bodies will be on dis
play in all the leading Hupmobil
dealers Offices within the next week

Portable Steel Garages
Being Erected Locally

S. William Davis, representing the
C. d. Pruden Company of Baltimore,
is displaying one of the portable steel
garages in Market street opposite the
Philadelphia and Reading station
This garage is specially constructed to
meet the requirements of Ford cars.
One of the larger type was recently
erected at 1888 Market street. Bunga-
loes for summer homes are also fea-
tured by this company and may be
seen at mountain, seashore and along
the river during the summer months.
For commercial purposes any number
of sections may be added to permit
ample capacity for warehouse and

Costly Proposition to
Alter Cadillac Equipment

Most people have but the vaguest
idea of the tremendous amount of pre-
paratory work and attendant expense
involved in the production of a new
model motor car.
The public is at a loss perhaps to
understand why, in these days, changes
in design and construction are seldom
radical, i perceives that most cars
adhere pretty closely, in their new
models. to what has become, to them,
standard design. Motor car makers
who produce. in their own plants, all
the essential parts for their cars have
big investments in machinery equip
ment; and what may appear to the
casual observer to be minor changes in
construction. often neceSSitate costly
changes in plant equipment and opera
tions. For that reason many manu-
tacturers prefer to avoid radical altera-
tions in their cars.
As an instance, the Eight-Cylinder
Cadillac recently announced-a distinct
departure from any previous American
esign-necessitated an investment of
approximately half a million dollars in
new machinery, tools, jigs, dies, fix
lures, and other equipment. This in
the production of thousands of cars and
probably for long period of time.
The new type of cylinder block and
new shape crankcase demanded huge
milling machines, different from those
the Cadillac had used in the production
of previous models. The same was true
of the machines which cut the bevel
gears in the rear axle. The teeth on
the driving pinion and the large differ
entail gear in the new car are of the
helical type, which could not be formed
with the equipment previously used.
There are many other instances where
new equipment was necessary, each
calling for an additional expenditure.
In the light of these facts ii can
readily be understood why many manu-
facturers prefer to follow their own
standard designs and avoid radical
changes.

Paige Representative
Says Europee Must Have Cars

These are days of thrilling adven-
lures and experiences for American
representatives in Europe" said Harvey
r. Stewart, foreign representative of
the Paige Motor Car Company, upon
his arrival in New York the other day.
( The sea is well patrolled by British
cruisers" said Mr.. Stewart, "and our
trip over was without incident al
though there was an atmosphere of
suppressed excitement that kept the
passengers Keyed up.
The great war has affected the pro-
duction of British made automobiles
but slightly, but that fact will have no
bearing on the greater opportunities
for American export that will eventu-
ally grow out of the struggle. While
the factories are running overtime
they are producing cars for Govern
ment service.
THE French factories are all closed,
not from want of money, but. from
lack of labor. Every agle-bodied man
from 21 to so years of age is at the
front. The factory organization will
be so badly demoraliZed at the close
of the war that it will require months,
If not years, for plants to return to

inasmuch as the Model is capable

upon neighborhood delivery scheme

full production. There should be a big
demand for trucks and delivery vans
and automobiles of low and medium
price.
This fact should give American
makers their opportunity, for the cars
now in the army will be short lived
owing to the fact that factories are not
in position to furnish damaged parts,
and few cars used by the armies can
ever be returned to the owners. Euro
pean countries, with the exception of
Great Britain, are and will be at the
close of the war practically without
automobiles. There should be, there

CITY WINS BIG
ACTION IN THE
HIGHER COURT
Case Against the Maryland
Casualty Company De-
cidcd in Favor of Pensa-
cola by Affirmation Low
er Court.

City Attorney John B. Jones yes
.erday morning received from Talia-
aassee official information relative to
he latest move in the city's action
against the Maryland Casualty Com
}any, on the bond for $4,000.
w. Fl. Mabry, clerk Of the Florida
5upreme court, simply wrote the city
gttorney that the higher tribunal had
tffirmed the finding Of the lower court,
which means that the Judgment OBJ
aimed by the city in the circuit court
lere is upheld, and thus ends, 1t Is
elieved, the city's contention, and in
he atger.s favor.
This is the case wherein the city
ought through the courts to collect
he bond of the defendant company,
guaranteeing the deposits in the Pen
sacOla State Bank, and it is the sec
ond case which has resulted in favor
Of the city, the other being that
against the Fidelity and Guaranty
Company, announcement Of which IA
vorabIe decision in the supreme court
became public last month.
One of the features of the case
against the Maryland Company, which
was decided yesterday, is the fact that
the suit bears interest from date of
beginning. This means that the city
will in due time collect interest at the
rate of per cent on the sum Of $751;
600 from December "a of last year,
practically an entire years payment.
Receipt of the letter by the city
attorney became known soon after IL
had arrived at the city hall yester-
day, and it gave the officials there
much qualification. The attorney him
self said that he felt much gratified
over the outcome Of the matter as it
practically endorses his acts in the
past having himself drawn up the
bond, approved the same, and covered
every phase of closing up the Sc
curity for the larger amount in the
bonding company.
