other manufacturers do not build

A Higher Price Does Not
Insure a Higher Value

ONE of the most misleading and
~ most misunderstood things
about automobiles is their prices.
Because one car is priced at from
30% to 400 higher than, another
car it does not follow that the for
mer car is worth more money.
A higher price is no sign or ex-
planaion of superiority. In fact
the unfortunate experience of

MOTOR TOURING

Automobile touring time has ar
rived. Judged BY the inquiries
being made for road conditions
and the thousand and one
things tourists want to know it
is almost certain that touring
and particularly long distance
touring is to he more popular
this year than ever.
From ali corners Of the United
States come indications that
the two, three, and five-thou-

going to be strictly the thing
this year. Just at this time
there arc probably more tours
in anticipation than at any

come into practical use.

San Antonio, Tex. Dec. 30.-Two
masked men boarded the westbound
Sunset Express on the Southern Pa
cifc railroad near Cline at 2:30 this
morning and at the point of guns
robbed all the passengers in the two
rear sleepers. The train was then
nearing Spofford, and the robbers
gave an air-cord signal FOR TIE train
to stop, after which they dronped off
and fled. A posse was quickly Or
gained by superintendent watkins
md Ranger Phelps, who were aboard
the train and started in pursuit.
The two men swung aboard the raer
sleeper as the train was leaving Cline,
ard aroused the porter. With drawn
pistols they forced him to awaken the
passengers and as fast as the latter
left their berths they were relieved
of their valuables. Just how much
the robbers took is not known, but 1t
is believed the sum will be consider
able, as many of the passengers car
ried large sums on money, besides
iewelry.
The men had gone through the two
rear sleepers as the train neared
Spofford and it was then they gave
the signal to stop and left the train
The posse was quickly organized and
started in pursuit, and it is believed
the robbers will be captured, as the
roughness Of the country makes their
escape difficult.
In one sleeper, the drawing room
was occupied by al wealthy Mexican,
who was said to have had more than
$4,000 in jewelry and money in his
apartment. While definite information
has not been received, the assumption
is that he was robbed with the others.
The robbers did not have time to
work the three other Pullman cars,
only entering the San Antoni sleeper
and the one known as the New Or
leans-San Francisco car. They did
not modest passengers in the coaches.
nor did they attempt to enter the ex-

There were 10 passengers aboard

sengers were r. G.. Watkins, superin-
tendent of this division of the road
and F. Fl. Bedmarck, chief dispatcher

were ordered to throw up their hands.
1t is understood Watkins lost $25 in
cash and his pass books, while Bed
narck was relieved Of a revolver, wal
let and other valuabies.

London, Dec. 30.-The American
note sent by the United States to
Great Britain protesting against the
action of British warships in OBTAINING
and seizing cargoes in American YES
sells is now under consid 3ration at
the British foreign office. No intima
ton is given as to when reply may
be expected.

Grey, the British foreign secretary.
George, the chancellor of the ex-
chequer; Reginald McKenna, sscre-
tary of home affairs; Walter Run
Gilman, president OF the Board OF
Trade, and Sir Francis Hopwood, civil
lord of the admiralty on the subject
of the note.
A frank discussion of the note by
British officials shows they regard 1t
as friendly and do not believe the diff
ferences between Great Britain and
America are such that they cannot be
reconciled satisfactorily.

Warns Against Going In

Washington. Dec. 30-Conflicting

the official reports spaek of steady

The opinion persists at the state de-
partment that Generals Villa and Ia
pata will in short order produce
peace in the national capital and
along the northern border, and pro-
claim new provisional president
who will be acceptable to the United
States.
The state department today issued
another warning that Americans 60

there are many Americans in distress
