HIGH PRICED FIELD SMALLER.

One OF the leading exponents of the
high price field makes the statement that
this field is narrowing down and that
several builders who competed for su-
premacy in II formerly abandoned II IA

states that price is a secondary consdd-

ut Seems particularly appropriate for
mo to make comment upon this" says
Harry s. Houpt. the Lozier distributor
for neart ali the Atlantic seaboard. "I
indorse tho first part OF tho statement
In toto. for before taking over the Losier
the best part of my motor car expert =
enoe was secured In handling high priced
cars.
"The field IS narrowing down not from
tho Viewpoint of this maker but from the
sounaest of economic reasons-ths public

statement, and II 10 we are proud Of It,
for Che Lo1ier has set a new standard
OF values during the past year for fours

ment here in case there is any posi-
bility OF a mistaken impression that the
low price OF the Lozer Your might be
understood to Indicate departure in
even "A small measure from the stand

and $4,000 cars.
Not SO: everything that enabled the
Lozier TO lead In the exclusive high
priced field Of former years is represented
In the moderate priced four in abun-
dance. And this was accomplished by
adapting the Lozier plants to modern
methods OF manufacture and applying "a

D|SCRED|T,
SAYS WILSON
TOLLS DEBATE DEGENER-
ATES TO ATTACK ON
ADMINISTRATION
tBy Associated PressD

Washington, y. c., Mar. 30 -presi-
dent Wilson declared today that on
account of the contradictory state
menls OF the Baltimore platform. the
| democrats should have 40 hesitation
in voting for the repeal Of tile pana-
ma canal tolls exemption.
The President emphatically char
acterized the exemption as a subsidy
and pointed out tbat one plank in the
platform expressed opposition to the
subsidy direct or Indirect while an
other plank declared for the tolls ex-
emption.
The President asserted there
should be no doubt among the demo-
Gratis as to which should take prcce-
dence.
The President said that the story
that he had entered into bargains
with Great Britain through Sir William
'Tyrrel, private secretary to Sir Ed
ward Grey was one of number OF
insults introduced in the cong's3
sional debate. The President de-
clared he wanted to express regret
that what had promised to be
genuine difference Of opinion, seem
ed now TO be degeneraiing into m
attempt TO discredlt the admnlstra
tion.
Doremus, OF Michigan, opened the
days debate in the house with an
attack on the administrations stand.
In the senate discussion reyolves
around one Of the many side issues
that have arisen. Senator James
Hamilton Lewis IS Wnrposing TO dis
cuss a resolution and bill he has in
troduccd to follow the repeal as =
sort Of balm to the wounds Of his
party members who have thus far
opposed the President in his plea for
upholdine the honor OF the nation.

AS the train with its freight of
mutilated men neared the city every
public conveyance in Chihuahua was
ordered to the station. These formed
in line and soon a continuous pro-
cession of wagons and coacnes pass
ed from the station to an abandoned
warehouse. where the wounded were
stretched on cots and on the floor.
Pitiable as their condition was, it
was noticeable that all the wounded
had been given first aid treatment be-

This was regarded as marking an

Jury in the case of the State against
c. O. Pollard and Silas Butler
CHARGED with the murder OF Frank

tion of leniency by the court. Butler
will be sentenced by the court next

1t was shown Nby the testimony
that Pollard acted merely as an as
sistant and that he did not directly
injure the victim in any way. The
case against Butler brought out that
he released Andrews, the insane IN
mate of the asylum and set him on
Pomeroy, also that Butler abused
Pomeroy. The evidence in the tliai
ended to show that at least one OF
he defendants was party to the
illeged murder by releasing he IN
nate to assist in quieting the alleged |
turbulent Pomeroy; that guards beat |
