startled the motoring public.
and once more Studebaker has proved

of quality. ,--;-.,....,.
essential will be evident from the most
superficial examination. aud the specln-
cations as given by the Engineering De
partmeut AZ the Detroit factory indlcate
that the oality Il even higher tnan WIN
last years cars. They snow that nue.
steeis have been used: that the uphois-
terv j. of the highest grade OF leather
the market affords: that the finishing
operations have been increased TO TWEEN
tv-five in number, while numerous other
details OF manufacture are stlll furtneT
indicative OF quality.
Yet despite all these Improvements
and changes. the prices have been Iadl-
callv reduced in comparison with those
az last year. No FOUR of this size and
mower has ever been offered az anywhere
near the price of Sss5. No seveu-pas-
senger so horsepower SIN evel came
within hundreds of dollars OF the new
price of SiO5O.
The new cars illustrate more conclu-
sivelv than ever the accepted Stude-
baker policy OF dignity in design. The
Studebaker has never gone IN Tor un'
usual lines. believing that the public
does dot care for cars that follow the
fads Of style that each new season sees
Accordingly, IN this years cars, stu
debaker has adhered TO its customary
lines. simply improving them in som'
slight details that add 20 effect. Ih'

the cowl itself has been made longer

H Grace is the dominant note OF the Who'll
4 design, and while the new cars ar
4 larger than ever and more massive D
looks. they are among the handsome
ears that have ever been produced.
One Of the notable features OF the car
is the new unique arrangement of N
seats. The drivers seat, for example
i sbaped 80 that both the driver an
the passenger riding with him have SCI
arate seats. This i a change that owI
ers who drive their own cars Will great
appreciate. The tonneau Is roomler ina

The principal feature and that Of deep
-. concern TO motorists Is the greatly
increased power of the new Studebaker
motor. Hills and rutted roads will have
no further terrors for the proud posses
sor of "A new Studehaker. Brake tests
ON the FOUR have developed 4l15 and
on the SIX "a horsepower.
This added power has been secured IN
ouewav by enlarging the bore OF the
motor 20 81 inches. For another. the
/ carhureior has been transferred 10 the
/ left side OF the motor lessening the dis
tance for the gas TO travel and giving u
freer massage. A separate intake mani
fold is another important factor IN So
l curing a wider range of ability for the
motor.
The electrical system for starting and
lighting the new cars Is the well known
Wagner two unit type. which was de-
yeloped four years ago eXciu-l 'rlv tor
Studrbaker cars. and winch has been
wonderfully successful on more than
$50 600 cars since then. The switches
are rotary and have been placed on the

Silence IN the operation of the car
has been made another all important
feature by various changes. The timing
gears accessory drive gears have been
rearrauged. giving more quietne~H and
adding 10 accessibility. Changes IN po
sition have been made IN the generator
and ignition distributor with the same

KILLING Of MACHADO
ST|RS ALL OF BRAZIL
Assassinated Senator frequently Re-
ferred to as the Political "Boss"
of His Country.

RIO Be JANEIRO, September 9.-The
assassination yesterday of Senator
Pinheiro Machado has caused pro-
found sensation throughout Brazil. The
Spaniard charged with his murder has
confessed, the authorities assert, that
he had no accomplices and that he killed
Senator Machado because he blamed
the politician for the misfortunes
which had befallen his family.
Pinheiro Machado frequently was re-
ferred to as the political boss OF
Brazil. He was president of the senate
and leader of the conservatives. He
had become unpopular of late because
he championed the cause of former
President Fonseca, who recently was
elected to the senate.
Machado. who was reputed to be i'm
mensely wealthy was credited with
playing an important part in bringing
about the election of President Braz
1t was said he forced the proclamation
Of martial law in Rio de Janeiro early
in 1914 as a piece of political strategy.

SIX OR SEVEN M|DD|ES
LISTED FOR DISMISSAL
Naval Inquiry Board Finds Them
Guilty of Hazing-Others to
Be Disciplined.

Six or seven midshipmen have been
Naval Academy by the acting superin-
tendent of the academy either for haz-
ing or for falsehoods in connection
with the recent hazing investigation.
Secretary Daniels today notified the
accused midshipmen. offering them op-
portunities to make explanation. Their
names were not made public.
In addition to the midshipmen recon-
mended for dismissal. a larger num-
Der were recommended for disciplinary
action. The latter were found to have
been guilty of assuming too much au-
thority and other Objectionable con-
duct not amounting to hazing.
Drop Without Trial.
Under the regulations of the acad-
emy. midshipmen may be dismissed
without a court-martial trial if guilty
of more than one offense of hazing.
One of those recommended for dismiss
sal was found guilty of more than
seven offenses. If his explanation, to
be forwarded to the Secretary, is not
satisfactory, he will be dismissed with
out trial by court-martial.
1t is believed practically all the
others recommended for dismissal were
found guilty of more than one offense,
so that court-martial would not be
necessary in any case. Before dismiss
sal is made. however, the recommenda- :
tions must go to President Wilson for
approval.
The Investigation into the hazing in
cidents was conducted by a naval
board selected by the head of the
academy. and it's report was designed
for his guidance. The inquiry attract
ed wide attention because conducted
at about the same time the inquiry
into other irregularities was being con-
Quoted.
