Novel Nonstop Auto Test Now in
Progress ut JERSEY City.

Progress at Jersey City.
Jersey City, May 16.-Tho. most
remarkable nonstop run of an auto
mobile engine ever held in this cOun-
try is still in progress at the garage
VI the Crescent Automobile Com
Dtny, on Hudson Boulevard, this

1914 stock model engine was started
running in a small booth set up in
full view of the hundreds of motor
lists who daily pass along the Boule-
ward, which forms the eastern end of
the Lincoln Highway. The engine
has now. been in continuous opera
ton for more than five weeks, has
covered over 81 900 road miles, or
more than six trips across the CONT
ncnt, via the Lincoln Highway, and
IS still turning up a daily average of
535 mics, or a little over % miles
per hour. No signs of overheating
have yet appeared, and only a pint
and a half of water has been fed into
the radiator since the test started.
Cylinders and bearings are lubricat-
ed with "Polarine," the oil being
fed at the rate of &c drops per min
ute.
The fuel used is the Standard Oil
COmpany's motor gasoline, and the
engine averages A miles on a gallon
Of gas. 1t is run at from SEQ to 700
revolutions per minute.
All previous nonstop records are
now far out-distanced, the best pre-
vious run being that of the Packard,
which ran for &c days in an official
test, under the auspices Of the Auto
mobile Club Of America.

ton OF the guilty" was proposed In
the report of the special committee on

Your special committee on the in
yestfgation OF charges involving the
present sheriff's office, would submit
the following:
soon after the appointment of
George W. Wood. as special states at

this committee and at that time asked
our cooperation and assistance in the
matters being investigated by the

of George W. Wood. gave him the use
of the testimony collected by US in our
OF the sheriff's office and
rendered him assistance in locating
witnesses. which he wished to bring
before the grand jury, and gave as
sistance wherever possible.
We are of the opinion that this in
vestigation should be continued and
vigorous prosecution be made looking
TO the conviction OF the guilty.
