fatal mistake when he tried to rob a
servants house on Bushman street. He

The negro was hired to cut the grass

one of the neighbors in to assist him
round up the negro. He went into the
house for him and told the neighbor
to watch the door. The negro became
frightened and jumped out of the win

There was hot chase down a few
alleys, but the negro was lost in the

If that negro ever gets into Judge

the Judge and the fright he gave the
neighbor.

New Orleans, Aug. 2S.-The cotton
conference, assembled here at the call
of Harvie Jordan of Atlanta, will have
considerable effect in any solution of
hte national problem which will be at
tempted.
1t was in direct contrast to the con-
vention here ten years ago, which also
was headed by Mr.. Jordan, when there
were thousands of delegates and pas
sion almost ran riot. Thursdays gath
ering at the Association of Commerce
was composed of several hundred only.
but it was thoroughly representative Of
every phase of the cotton interests of
the South, calmly deliberative and very
much in earnest.
An idea of the composition of the
meeting can be gained from the per-
sonnel of the committee on resolutions
and organization, which will not only
suggest the course to be pursued, but
will carry out the plan adopted. The
general chairman is j. H. Connell of
Dallas, Tex, former head of the Texas
Agricultural and Mechanical College,
and now leading cotton planter. Har-
vie Jordan is ex-officio, member, and
the others are:
At Large-E. R. Kone, Austin, Tex,
state commissioner of agriculture; Col.
e. E. Richardson and John M. Parker,
New Orleans; Walter Clark, Clarks-
dale, Miss; and Paul M. Potts, Shreve-

GERMANY TO KEEP

Wants Naval Base on the Channe
Facing England.

London. Aug. 2S.-The London news
papers quote the German newspaper
Taglische Runschau as declaring
that Belgium bitterly will rue the day
she dared to oppose her mighty neigh
Dor. Great Britain, the German news
paper also says, will pay dearly for her
interference in this war by seeing the
permanent establishment of German
naval base on the coast of Belgium.
The pan-Germanic organs declare that
the portions of Belgium now overrun
by the German army will be perma-
nently incorporated in the German en-
pire.

of S254,411 50 over the same period last
year. SO far this year 167, $50 automo-
bles were registered and 66,113 chauf-
feurs licensed. These figures reveal
about 20 per cent increase in fees, 20
per cent in registrations and 10 per
cent in the number of chautfeurs
licensed, there being 132,251 motor
cars registered and 56,228 chauffeurs
licensed in 1913.
During the same period Sl8,566 SO
fine moreys were collected for viola
tions of the various provisions of the
motor vehicle law. With this amount
added to a nominal fee which should
be collected from owners of motor
cycles, the sum total of fees collected
would reach at least 100000, a sum
to be devoted exclusively to the main
tenance and repair of the improved
highways throughout the state.
"Of the total number of motor We
hicles registered l50,s76 were pleasure

New Device Eliminates Old
Style Pressure Attach
ment and All Its
Annoyances.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-The Stewart
vacuum gasolene system will go down
into automobile history as the biggest
innovation of the 1915 automobile sea-
son, Just as the electric starter was
credited as the big success OF the
l9l2-13 seasons. This invention, which
is a simple control of gasolene, has
already proved its superiority in many
ways, eight exhaustive tests conduct
ed with q new Model Buick Doc on
the indianapolis Motor Speedway a
few days ago being the ,clincher to all
arguments of the superiority OF the
vacuum system over pressure feed.
In the tests, conducted under the
sanction of the A. A. A., both on the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway and
rough, muddy highways, the vacuum
system showed 1871 per cent increase
in mileage efficiency over pressure
feed systems. f. NJ Edwards, OF the
A A. A., and Chester Kicker, Of the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway, sent the
Buick over the speedway course. a.
thirty miles an hour, on the hlgh-
WAYS at twenty-five miles an nour,
The temperature all day was low ana
a freezing rain fell. No more ideal
conditions for gruelling tests ever pre-
sented themselves to the A. A. A. toi
real efficiency. c.,
Unheard of a year ago, the Stewart
system is now found on 20 6-lO per

FOR PLANT EFFICIENCY
United States Tire Company
Concentrates It's Work.

The United States Tire Company has
decided TO take another long step for
ward in it's policy Of concentration and
specialization.
The company was formed in 1911 to
take over the marketing of four OF the
oldest and best known brands of tires
the Morgan G. Wright brand, made
at the Morgan g. Wright factory, De-
troit; the Hartford brand, manufact-
ured by the Hartford Rubber Yorks
Company, Hartford, Conn; the G. & j..
brand, made by the G. & j. Tire Com
pany, Indianapolis, and Continental
brand, made by the Revere Rubber
Company, Providence.
Beginning with the first of the year
the entire automobile tire production
will be concentrated in the Detroit and
Hartford plants, which two plants Will
specialize on automobile tires.
All solid tires for motor trucks, car
riages and vehicles of all sorts will
be concentrated in Providence.
Bicycle and motorcycle tires will be
made exclusively at Indianapolis.
Each of these plants will specialize
on its own particular line, the result
being that on the important item OF
automobile tires there will be one very
large factory specializing on this item
in the East, AMI another very large
factory in the Central West, thus Civ
ing ideal conditions from standpoint
of distribution.
