BY STAFF MEMBERS
Given High Praise by Guardsmen
For His Work in Behalf of
the State Militiamen

Twenty-Five officers of the STAFF of
Governor Tener gave him farewell
dinner at Philadelphia last night and
expressed their appreciation of his en-
couragement of the State militia. The
Bellevue-Stratford banquet hall was
elaborately decorated with the national
colors and the State seal, giving a
pronounced military effect. AdJutant
General Thomas j. Stewart acted as
toastmaster. AS mark Of their APP
probation Adtutant General Stewart,
on behalf of the staff, presented Gov

fenses and of the expected growth OF
the National Guard of this State. He
stated that the enlistments in Penn
sylvania had been more encouraging
during the past year than they had
been for years. showing that the
younger men are becoming Interested
in the movement.
In response Governor Tener spoke of
the efficiency of his staff and praised
the National Guard of Pennsylvania as
the finest body of men of its kind in
the United States. In speaking of his
administration he said that he retired
with the knowledge that much had
been left undone. but that some things
for the betterment of the Common
wealth at large had been accom-
plished. He added that although he
knew that some credit for this must go
to the Executive, he could not help
feeling that the real burden of accom-
plishment must go to others who CO.
operated with him.

the affair were General ]. Lewis Good,

Cadillac Reports Big
Business at N. Y. Show

Previous retail sales records were
shattered at the 1915 New York auto
mobile show, so far as the Cadillac
Motor Car Company is concerned. The
Cadillac Eight was on exhibition and
was one OF the main attractions for
the show crowds as well as buyers.
Cadillac dealers have always done
a big business at the shows, remark
ed Sales Manager Howard. but this
one has been the most successful of all.
This is especially true of the closed

"However. our dealers in New York,

other nearby cities. as we'll as those
from the East generally, all report
closing more retail sales than ever be-
fore. In fact there are a few dealers
who have taken retail orders covering
theeir entire allotmeffts and are maxi
ing strenuous efforts to get more
cars"
All through the week numerous ex-
pressious of disappointment were heard
from persons unable to get within

cylinder, N-type engine. From the
opening until the close of the show
the exhibit was thronged with those

demonstrators. and it was necessary
for the show authorities to ua1 extra
precautions to keep pashES-w
open in the aisle in front of tn: Ca
dillac space.
The Cadillac exhibit displayed four
styles of the new Eight-Cylinder as
foilows Seven passenger touring car,
five passenger salon. five passenger
sedan and seven-passenger limousine.
Lack of space made 1t impossible to
exhibit the entire line. which in addi-
tion to those named includes a coupe
and a roadster.
1--WE could have used twice the
amount of space available" said Sales
Manager Howard. THE cut-open
chassis. with it's eight cylinder engine,
attracted such crowds that many were
unable to get close enough to see it.
I believe IL we had the space to show
a half dozen of them they all would
have been surrounded most of the
time"

Fifty Dynamite Bombs
and Fuses Discovered in
Trenton Italians Home
By Associated Press

Trenton, n. j., Jan. 9.-About fifty
dynamite bombs and fuses were found
to-day by the police in the home of
lnalle Gabrielle, 2s years old, a resi-
dent of the Italian district of this city.
He is held under arrest and will be
examined to determine how he came
into possession of the dynamite and
what he intended to do with it,
The police have been searching the
Italian district of Trenton since the
finding of an unexploded bomb in ST.
Joachim's Church here last Monday.
A clue led the police to visit Ga
brele's house early to-day and they
placed him under arrest when he re-
fused to open a trunk. He told the
police he had lost the key. The trunk
was forced open and the bombs found.
They are about eight inches long and
two inches in diameter.

TRACKLESS LINES
HAVE NO STANDING
Public Service Commission Makes
Important Ruling in Regard
to the New System

The Pennsylvania Public Service
Commission to-day denied the appli-
cation of the Perkiomen Electric Tran
sit Company, which proposed to op-
crate a tracklcss trolley on the high
ways of the State. for certificate of
public convenience. which would have
| given it right to operate in this
State. The company was Incorporated
in Delaware.
The commission holds that the ques-
ton is raised whether the service pro-
posed would. lin view of the entire
absence of legislative regulation of the
| rights and powers of such a cor
poration," be proper for the accom-
mediation of the public. The point is
made that the State has expended
large sums in construction and main
tenance of highways and says: while
the Commonwealth has been vigilant
in regulating by law the rights of
street railway companies to use streets
and roads, yet tho Legislature has not
clearly indicated the policy of the
State in regard to the use of such
highways by transportation companies
using a means of transportation such
was not in contemplation a short time
ago."
1t is contended that no means of
securing any compensation to the State
for the right to use the roads has been
provided the rights of such companies
on the highways have not been defined,
and until some policy of this kind is
adopted by the Legislature it is the
judgment of the commission that the
doing of business by such q transpor-
tation company involving such an un-
regulated use of the highways. Is not
proper for the service, accommodation,
convenience or safety of the public. 1t
thus appears that the applicant desires
to obtain from this commission the
right to engage in a business of G.. ar
acter which the laws of Pennsylvania
do not as yet authorize our own cor
porations to carry on. For this very
reason the applicant has obtained a
charter from the State of Delaware
and asks this commission to grant it
the right to transact the above men,
toned business as n Delaware cor
poration in pursuance of such Della
ware charter and thus seeks through
the approval of this commission to ac-
complish by indirection that which
cannot be done directly under the eX-
listing laws of Pennsylvania" The
commission declares that the exercise
in this state by n corporation of an
other state of rights in which the pub
lie is so vitally interested should be
undertaken only if and when those
rights have been considered and de-
fined by the lawmaking body of the
commonwealth
The application was filed some time
ago and the case has been under con-
sideration for six weeks.

THE CADILLAC

In the Cadillac exhibit were display
ed four styles of the new eight-cylin-
der as follows; Seven passenger tour
ing car, tive-passenger salon, fve-pas-
senger sedan and Beven-passenger
limousine
Lack of space = it imrossible to
exhibit the entire line. which, in nddi-
tion to the above, consists of coupe
and roadster.
There was also chassis with many
OF the parts cut away. ~"esentlng to
view the most important parts of the
car in operation. affording very COM
mechanism.
Wednesday the crowd became so
large around the eight chassis that
move 1t further in, as the people were
blocking the aisle. However, as o
chassis was no further out than others,
the request was not enforced, but was
evidence OF the displays popularity.

REQ

The new REQ Six was the center of
attraction at the REQ booth. Although
for years having devoted their time to
fours, this conservative company
comes out this year with product in
skies that merits the REQ stamp of
quality at a popular price. A special
feature emphasized is the accessible
ity. having been designed so as to per-
NIT easy access to every mechanical
part.
Oversize parts to insure maximum
strength and double frame work are
special features of REQ construction,
with cantilever springs for easy riding
qualities. The power plant consists
of the enclosed type of motor with
overhead values. Richard II. Scott,
vice-president and general manager,
reports a factory capacity of 100 a
day. which will soon be tested to the
limit il the present increased demand
for Reos continues.

GREATER INTEREST
IN AUTO SHOWS
Attendance at New York Exhibit,
Character Of Displays and Re-
suits Exceed All Others

Is the public losing interest in auto
! mobile exhibits? On the contrary,
judging from the success of the New
| York show, then the people want
them, and have put the stamp of ap-
proval on them by a greater attend
ance from year to year than in any
previous year. 1t gives the people a
| chance to compare at close range what
| the different makers are producing
| Every new mechanical devise, refine
ment or radical change is here pre-
sented for comparison. Like the pages
OF a catalog, 1t gives all the desired
| informatloH, put in place of descrip-
| tive words and pictures the real ar
of catalogue. 1t gives all the desired
most expert authorities in their re-
spective lines are present to demon
strate and explain any feature. Every
man in charge of the smallest piece OF
mechanism or accessory need to the
largest and most
elaborate motor car, can speak for
hours on the advantages of his par
ticular product. This in itself is fas-
cinating and instructive.
The fifteenth annual show repre-
sented fifteen years of automobile ad-
vancement. 1t would be hard to
imagine any fifteen years in any other
industry so filled with progress and
Improvement. According to the Sec
retary of State of New York, there
We're abut 100000 automobiles reg
istered throughout the United States
in 1914, gain of about 600, 900 over
the year previous. In addition to
minor mechanical changes and refine
ments that make the average mtor
car model of luxury. the advent of
the elght-cylfnder commanded special
interest as the most pronounced
change apparent over last years
models. Three makers had models on
dlsplay and others are expected in
time for later shows.
Harrisburg is always well repre-
sented at the national show. Among
