TROUBLE WAITS
 FOR SULLIVAN
Booster General for Mer- chants Despatch Borrows Wheel, Rides Through Tho1ns, Punctures Tires and Takes First Train

When F. R. Sullivan, booster general of the Merchants Dispatch Line with headquarters in Los Angeles, comes to Phoenix again. he is going to find him self in a peck of trouble. He was here yesterday and reintroduced himself to the various railroad officials and em ployes, sought out some prospective shippers and made himself generally in evidence Then he relaxed over some grape juice in which he was joined by Brownie of the Santa Fe and a re- porter for The Republican.
 Just as all had finished smacking their lips, Sullivan remembered that away off at the foot of South Fifth street. there was one shipper he had nearly overlooked. The problem of transportation confronted him and Che reporter. without taking into account the proclivlties of Sullivan, offered him the use of his Pump Hardford" bicycle He directed Sullivan to leave the wheel where he found it and went about his duties.
 An hour later the reporter returned and found his wheel in it's proper place. He started to mount and then discoV- cred that both tires were flat. Closer examination showed that two new tires, the studding hardly yet marred, had each about fifty punctures There were more mesquite thorns sticking in these tires than some dogs have fleas. The only thing to do svas to spend half an Eour extracting the thorns and then journey to a bicycle shop where fifty cents worth os "Never-Leak" remeded the difficulty. And Sullivan was on his way. That's why there's going to be trouble for the otherwise genial Merchants Despatch" man when he ar,hlec thiS way apain

DAMAGES ASKED FOR DEATH OF HORSE AND
 INJURIES ID RIDER
Local Company Sued for Damages Sus- taIned to Young Rider of Horse
 Frightened by Approaching Car

The Phoenix Street Railway company terday in a personal damage suit for S2,3l5. entered by the guardian of Pedro Figueroa. q 20-year-old Mexican.
 The papers filed allege that on the 14th of october 1914, the plaintiff was riding along East Washington street near the intersection of Ninth street They also state that the defendant company was operating street cars along their right of way on that par ticular date faster than the city ordi- nance allows, and that the animal the young man was riding was strictly gentle and not subject 10 nervousness.
 As the ear approached the young man and his mount the motorman in charge of the defendants car made an unnecessary noise with the bell. and so frightened the horse, that it got beyond the control of it's rider. They alIege that the man in charge of the car, was aware of F1gueroa's plight and could have stopped the car had he so wished.
 After running a short time, the ami maj dashed in front of the ear, was run over and killed, and F'igueroa was badly cut up around the leg and body. Prior to the accident he had been the sole support Of his aged mother. but now he is unable to work and damages for the injury and he subsequent finan- cial loss are asked for to the extent of S2.315.

Maxwell distributor
Cars differ SO widely and driving
conditions are so diverse that none Of
the writer's on automobile topics have
dared to go on record with definite
assertions
The Maxwell Motor Company, Inc,
OF Detroit, recently prepared a sum
mary of the actual mileages and run

was run for 1000 miles in a week in as
many different cities OF the country.

AUTOMOBILES MAY
COST MORE next YEAR
Despite Advance, Paige Co.
Will Not Change Its
Present Policy

1T sounds queer to say that the
American automobile industry is pay
ing heavy price TO the war that is
whging in Europe. nevertheless, it is
an indisputed fact; said II. NJ. Jewett,
president Of the Paige-Detroit Motor
Car Company
Materials OF every description
used in the manufacture of automo-
biles have gone up tremendously in
price due to the fact that huge
quantities OF these materials are used
IN making war munitions and ma
chimes OF destruction.
Everybody knows that steel, iron,
aluminium, copper, and all metals
have shot skyward in prices; leather
and hair have gone in the same di-
rection and the price Of labor all over
the country has increased. The re-
suit is that the finished automobile
has gone up in price considerably to
those manufacturers who had not con-
tracted ON their material for this
wears production. In many in
stances raw material has advanced so
high that the parts makers were un-
able to obtain same and were forced
to buy in the open market and to in
crease their price to the motor car
manufacturers, even in the face Of
having contracted in advance.
No industry in the world works
on such a close margin of profit as
automobile manufacturers, whose pro-
duct is priced legitimately It is only
the tremendous volume of this busi-
ness that really gives the profit to
The manufacturer. Because of this
small per cent. Of profit per machine,
any increase in materials immedi-
ately cuts down the net profit and
an increase i'm price OF the car has
got to be made.
Much has been said by some manu-
facturers in regard to increasing their
production of motor cars and there
by reducing the price. All the manu-
facturers Of recognized standing have
gone past the point where they are
able to reduce their price materially
by increasing their volume, as their
overhead, II it is legitimate. is already
so low per car that the increase in
volume viii not affect it materially.
We must face the fact that there is
no chance of the war letting up for
another year; the consequence will
be that raw materials will go still
higher by next spring and the newt
able result will be an increase in the
price of motor cars for 1917 or a
reduction in quality.
"The policy of the Paige Company
viii not be changed. We will con-
tinue to put the best materials known
70 engineering practice into each part
OF our cars. as we must have the
best to maintain the standard that
Paige quality has set II higher
prices must be paid. we will have to
increase the price to the public"

MAXWELL DOUBLES
ITS PRODUCTION RATE
Company Adds Mammoth
Building TO Its Detroit
Plant

Ground has been broken at the
Maxwell Motor Company's Oakland
avenue plant in Detroit. Mich. for one
of the largest building operations
undertaken for some time by the De-
troit automobile industry.
The new Maxwell addition is to
be $50 feet long by 1870 feet wide, and
will cover practically four acres Of
ground
Like the present buildings Of the
big group. it will be one-story high.
with saw-tooth roof OF glass and tile.
The materials are brick and steel
with cement floor. Eighty days have
been allowed for the building oper-
alton.
On January 22, when the contractor
turns the building over complete, ac-
cording to schedule, the Maxwell
Company's facilities will rise from a
capacity Of $50 to 500 cars daily.
The new building will be devoted
solely TO assembly purposes. There
is nothing new or experimental in
any step Of this assembly. lt will
be merely a reproduction in duplex
OF the system which has been sue
cessfully in use for more than six
months. Designed by Production
Manager Charles Adams TO the gem
eral ideas of President Flanders Of
the Maxwell ompany-himself a
veteran in quantitative manufactur-
ing lines-the present Maxwell plat
form was originally rated as able to
care for a production of 100 cars a
day. In the stress of summer and
fall necessities, this platform is now
turning out more than $50 cars daily
It's record is 2S6.
In the revised plan of production.
the present platform will form one
of the pair in the new building. The
room vacated will be used in the
manufacture of part of the increased
number of units which the doubled
assembling capacity will render avail

be the rule at the Maxwell plants at
