IIoughton, Mich, Jan. &C. "A mo.
tion to quash the conspiracy indict-
ment returned by the special grand
jury against copper mine strikers and
officials of the Western Federation of
Miners was filed today by attorneys
for the accused men, when the latter
were arraigned for trial in the Hough-
ton circuit court.
It was announced that pleas would
not be entered until the motion had
been heard and passed upon.
Counsel for the defendants, in their
motion, attacked the legality of the
grand jury and its deliberations. It
was contended that the grand jury
was illegally convened, that its delib-
erations were not conducted in sec
ret, as required by law. and that the ap-
pointment Of George e. Nichols as
special prosecuting officer was void
because no showing had been made
authorizing such appointment or
claiming the want Of capacity on the
part Of the duly elected prosecutor.

CAR GOES 28.7 MILES
on GALLON OF GASOLINE
Red Crown Shows Remarkable Test.

Judged by C.. A. c. Committee.
Surprising results were obtained
Tuesday in Chicago, when, in a dis
lance test on the b%oulevards, a 1915
big six went 2S.7 miles on a gallon Of
Red Crown gasoline. The test was
made to demonstrate the fuel economy
of high test gasoline, by the technical
committee Of the Chicago Automobile
Club.
Red Crown gasoline, So test, was de.
cided upon by the judges and drivers
as the best gasoline to be used. All
through the trip the clutch was not
slipped except when traffic congestion
made it necessary. The dash adjust
ment on the carburetor was discon-
nected, and in order that the test be
a fair one, the fan was in operation
throughout the run.
Next came the acceleration test.
With the c%arburetor adjustment the
same as during the economy run, the
car was driven frt m standing start to
thirty miles, an hour in IL A-O seconds.
The fiexibility test saw the car run
at four miles an hour, then speeded
up to forty-four.
The test proves that the six is not
an excessive fuel consumer, where the
best gasoline is used.

Power of Imagination.

An Indianapolis woman who took
her summer outing with friends in
the woods carried with her a fear Of
snakes, which was quickened when
a rattlesnake was killed in the neigh.
borhood. After that, every unex.
planned sound was interpreted in
terms Of r~attlesnakes.-
One day when she had ventured
out for a stroll alone, Just as she
plucked from her head a sunbonnet
that had covered her ears, she was
greeted with the terrifying warning
of a RATHER, SO she thought, at least,
and, turning, she fed homeward. The
sound kept pace with her. adding to
her panic. Evidently the Infatuated
reptile was pursuing her, and not un.
til she rushed almost exhausted into
the presence Of her friends did she
learn that the removal OF the bonnet
had left a dozen or SO curl papers free
to bob about and rustic on her head.

makes loose statements when he

Taken as I took It," Mr.. Blythe,

is not only not worth while, but 1t is

working under the influence of spirits
and drugs" says DR.. T. d. Crothers,
writing in the Lancet and Clinic.
Study Of the effects of alcohol and
other narcotics upon the Drain, he tells
us. reveals the fact that books and
articles written under the influence OF
spirituous liquors have certain marked
characteristics; written Under the In;
fluence of beer they show certain 9th.
er peculiarities; written under the in.
fluence Of cocaine they have still an.
other distinctive literary style. 1.-THE
