Saxon Crosses Continent
in Fl Days on $34.96

Crossing the continent from Du Bois,
Pa. to San Francisco over the Lincoln
highway in exactly 21 days of con-
tinuous driving is the record Just made
by H. L. Kriner and D. A. Yingling in
a Saxon roadster.
With a total mileage of $500 miles
to the credit of the car on this trip,
kriner and Yingling used only 1853
gallons of gasoline and 10% gallons of
oil. at a total cost of s34.96. They re-
ported upon reaching the coast that
the car had surprised them during the
trip with its ability to keen from over
heating while crossing the Rockies
The tourists did most of their driving
on high gear and declared that the
motor seldom showed any signs of

After visiting the exposition in San
Francisco Kriner and Yingling will

and will return home to Du Bois. Pa.
over the southern route. They are
confident that they will make the re-
turn trip in as good form as they did
the first half of their journey. When
the run is completed these men will
have the distinction of being the first
Saxon owners to make a round trip
across the continent. In going from
Du Bois to San Francisco in 21 days
they have set a speed record for cars
under 81 900 on a trip of this length
and severity.
The showing their car made In
economy so far as records indicate has
never been equaled. Incidentally this
performance again proves that long
distance trips are to-day as easy for

I'VE are highly pleased with the

Cadillac Prominent
at Plattsburg Camp


One of the most interesting features
of the businessmen's military instruc-
ton camp at Piattsburg, n. Y, in COM
mand of Major General Leonard Wood
was the train of motor cars, among
which were two Cadillacs fully equip
ped for military purposes. One of these
Was one of the fully armored and
armed eight-cylinder Cadillac cars
which recently made the notable trip
across the continent in the squadron
under command of Col. r. P. David
son, of the Northwestern Military and
Naval Academy. The other was field
hospital also on the eight-cylinder
chassis, which attracted much atten-
ton
Including the Cadillac Fights, there
were fifteen cars in the train which
made the run from New York to
Plattsburg. 1t was composed of
trucks, ambulances and officers cars.
The motor corps spent four and a half
days on the road, making camp each
night. The officers in command said
that at least two and a half days had
been spent repairing bridges and do
ing other road work TO enable the
heavier vehicles to get over the de-
tours necessary to reach good camp
ing grounds.
In addition to the two Cadillacs in
the motor corps, another was used by
General Wood as the official head
quarters car. General Wood laid
particular stress on the usefulness OF
the motor car in time of war and
pointed out the fact that if the own
ers of pleasure and commercial cars
all over the United States were organ
lzed into trained BODY, they would
be powerful division of the army.
The camp at Plattsburg was COM
posed of about a thousand business
men of New York. including many of
national prominence, who spent two
weeks learning military life as enlist
ed priVates, under instruction of off,
GERS of the regular army.

Packard Company Finds
1t Necessary to Build

With $500 employees at work, max
ing up the largest payroll in its his
tory and orders for its product COM
ing in greater volume than ever be-
fore, the Packard Motor Car Com
pany has found it necessary to pro-
vide large extensions to its Detroit
plant. At the present time, additions
comprising nearly 100000 square feet
of floor space are nearing completion
To get the picture of what this means
in the aggregate, imagine a single
floor 400 feet wide and 1000 feet
long.
So rapidly has the Twin Six de-
mand developed within the past few
weeks that, in many cases, the addi-
tions are double the size originally
planned. The buildings now under
way will cost approximately $780,
900 and will bring the total floor
space area of the Packard plant to
As acres.
Work Is now going forward on
additions to the stamping department,
forge, foundry, pattern shop, heat
treatment building, truck asse mbly
department, truck stock. service de-
partment and car finishing depart
ment. The Improvements include also
new blacksmith shop 200 feet long
and a five-story steel and concrete
building 400 feet long for the machin-
Ing of chassis parts.

Hupp Fairgrounds Prove
a Popular Success

The use of Fairgrounds as an in
centive to keep children off the streets
and thereby reduce the chance for ac-
cidents has been proven a practical
success by the Hupp Motor Car Com
pany of Detroit Since the opening OF
the recreation Fairgrounds in the rear
of the factory for the benefit of the
children of the neighborhood it is es-
timated that the number of accidents
has decreased from so to rs cent OFF,
ials of the Hupp company place the
decrease at so per cent, but traffic
officials in that section of the city
make a more liberal estimate of rs
per cent.
Just at present the recreation com
mittee which has charge of all the
Fairgrounds in Detroit has not com.
pleted its data on the value of play
grounds as a safety first movement.
although the directors know in a gem
eral way the results obtained in taking
the children from the streets into a
playground or onto the special streets
which are being set aside for their use.

ROBERTS AND REOMAN
SEEK TO GET LIBERTY

LEAvENwORTH, Kan. May "a
Inclination on the part Of Dom Rob-
erts and Judge Eli H. Redman, both
of whom are serving sentences IN the
federal prison for connection with the
election conspiracy, to go 1t alone in
their effort to secure their freedom
on writs of habeas corpus. has started
quarrel among the Indiana prison
-ers which may result badly.
The prisoners have divided into two
factions, one headed by Roberts and
Redman, the other by Edward Dris'
coll, former assistant city engineer.
The Driscoll faction has taken into the
folud Ed Holler, former police chief,
who because he testified against the
others had been ostracized. 1t is the
intention Of the factions to work in
opposition to each other to secure
their release and at the same time put
something over which will keep the
others behind the bars.
The Roberts-Redman faction engag.
ed counsel to start habeas corpus pro
ceedings This writ is understood tc
be readw for presentation to Judge
Polack but the developments have de
layed the procedure. The Driscoll fac
ton has engaged a Leavenworth ne

taken in the Roosevelt libel trial was
made today.
At the office of William WINS, chief
consul for William Barnes, Jr., two
statments were issued one in behalf

political machine.
He says:
However the knowledge of the
complete rectitude of my conduct must
content me, which, after all is the
most important thing in life
Mr.. WINS said the verdict was en-
tirely unexpected. Mr. WINS said

OUT TESTIMONY
OF PAST DEEDS
Union County Sheriff Scents
Effort to Railroad" An
ders0n Thomas to Freedom
Through Court.

After Judge Comstock ruled out evi.
dence OF William H. RAIDER and In
gram RAIDER, brothers of John RAIDER,
Sheriff Post Of Union county today
made charges OF attempts to rail
road. Anderson T. Thoms, slayer of
Louis RAIDER, to freedom
Sheriff Post brought the two RAIDER
brothers to Richmond this morning
from Lee county, Kentucky, to testify
% two previous shootings in which
Anderson Thomas had been engaged.
The prosecutors, Keller and Edwards,
had the men seated on the witness
stand when Attorneys Johnson and
Pigman, for Thomas. succeeded in de-
claring the evidence irrevelent.
The prosecutors and Sheriff Post
held conference after this evidence
was ruled out, and then attempted to
have ruled out evidence introduced by
Thomas witnesses against the repu-
tation of the RAIDER family.
Testimony Ruled Out.
William H. RAIDERS testimony was
to the effect that Anderson Thomas in
1908 seized gun which RAIDER had
strapped on belt and exchanged
shots with George Frazier, sympa-
thizer with the Philpott clan, with
which the Griffins had had feud Of
years standing.
Ingram RAIDER also of Lee county,
was not permitted to testify to the
circumstances attending a shooting
scrape in which he said he and Thorn
as were mixed
Sheriff Post tried to take the stand
to make an expose of an alleged
frame-up on John RAIDER, father of the
murdered boy.
II do not know whether Attorney
Pigman is responsible for it or not"
said the Union county sheriff. An
derson Thomas suddenly came into
possession of $1,000. We have been
unable to find out where he got it,
We wrote to the Cincinnati Street
Car company, and it replied that
Thomas had been fired for careless
handling of change This is my only
clue"
Mrs. Griffin Bent Gun.
Mrs. Sol Griffin, mother of Anderson
Thomas, testified today that she and
not Thomas had bent the gun exhibit
ed by the state in court. The state
charged the stock of the gun had
been splintered and the barrel bent
by the blow Thomas struck on Louis
RAIDERS head after he shot him.
Il bent that gun barrel under the
porch" Mrs. Griffin said. Il was afraid
the same trouble might come up
again"
The prosecuting attorneys and sher-
if said they were we'll satisfied with
the jury and expect to bring about
a conviction.

REPLY
DELAYS ACTION
With ENGLAND

WASHINGTON, May 22-It became
known definitely today that for the
present, while awaiting the German
reply to President Wilson's note on
the Lusitania disaster this govern
ment will not modify its policy re-
garding the actions of Great Britain
in holding up non contraband ship
ments-although the state depart
ment does not acquiesce in the mem
orandum given out by the London for
eign office.
In fact surprise was expressed
among officials that London should
have designated as acceptable to the
United States the negotia tons and ar
engagements being made with cotton
shippers regarding the disposition of
their cargOes.
Secretary Bryan's statement on this
point, which indicates that as soon as
the German note is received, this gov
eminent will turn more energetically
to it's problems with Great Britain
says that such arrangements have not
had official sanction. The British am
bassador's suggestion that this misun-
Outstanding was due to an error in
transmission of the memorandum was
accepted however.
The impression today is general in
official circles that while this govern
ment has in preparation strong pro-
tests to Great Britain on the subject
of interference with non-contra band
oversee traffic the administra ton has
definitely decided to mark time as to
Great Britain until Germany replies.
