POWERFUL FIGHTS" FOR

Daily service on a mountain stage
line is well calculated to test the stay
ing powers OF a motor car. such a
service is maintained with six Cadil-
lac lights" between Los Angeles and
Bakersfield, Calf, and the cars make
the trip from one city TO the other in
considerably less time than the trains
on the railroad.
The cars are operated on p regular
schedule. which calls for speed up 10
the limit which the state law permits
They carry from five to nine passen-
gers on a trip and are always well
laden with baggage
Each car makes a round trip every
day, covering more than 26O miles. They
make the run over the mountains en-
tirely on high gear. which is impos
sible for most cars, especially when
heavily loaded. The Cadillacs are av-
eraging more than ten miles per gal

miles per gallon OF oil. They are
standing the test of this severe ser
vice admirably. and before the year

THEN you hear a man say thai
M he is sorry he ever bought his
4 w car. it is not necessarily an in
dication that he paid more for it than
It was worth or that operation OF It
IS costing him more than he can afford.
The probabilities are that he is one
OF the people who never have INDUCED
in the pleasures Of touring.
There are many men who still have
the old fashioned notion that automo-
biles are TO be used only on city houle-
wards They ride from their homes TO
their offices and from their OFFICES 10
their homes, with an occasional trip
through the parks and over the routes
where the crowds are 10 be found on
Consequently. they soon grow weary
Of what they call the same old thing"
They have vet to learn that touring in
other kind Of outdoor fun They have
failed TO put their cars to one of the
best of their many splendid uses.
In these days of road Improvement,
and since automobiles in general have
been developed TO a point at which the
troubles that used to be common have
practically been eliminated il is pos
sible for the tourist TO start for almost
any point with a reasonable certainty
Of getting there and back.
The betterment Of roads in almost all
parts Of the country has been accom-
panied by the establishment of many
conveniences which add TO the pleas
ures Of motoring. One never gees far
from a place at which gasoline is sup
piled. tires can he found at nearly any
country store. and a shop at which
emergency repairs can be made is usu-
ally close at hand if things happen to
20 wrong
Furthermore. there has. owing to the
popularity Of touring. been an appre-
ciable Improvement in the accOmmo-
dations offered by hotels in the small
towns and villages Good meals and
comfortable beds At reasonable prices
are the rule, rather than the exception,
almost wherever the tourist finds it
necessary TO put up for the nignt.
The country tavern has been rehab-
ilitated- To the liveliness and preten-
sions Of the old stage coaching days
have in many instances been added
modern cOnveniences and up TO date
service which contributes much 70 the
enjoyment OF the touring party.

On Charges Of Wrecking Chi.
cago Trust and Savings
Bank is Set for Today.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE trial of
William Lorimer, former United
States senator. on charges of wreck
Ing the LaSalle Trust and Savings
bank. while president of the institu-
tion, is set for today in the criminal
court. Argument o ma motion to con-
solidate all the Indictments pending
against the defendant probably will
preCede the examination OF venire-
men.
The indictment of William Lori
mer and thirteen of his business as
soclates for conspiracy in connection
with the failure in Chicago in June,
1914. OF the La Sale Street Trust
Company and Savings Bank. and the
subsequent closing OF nine other
banks and trust companies controlled
by the Lorimer-Munday coterie,
ended Lorimer's meteoric career rs a
tinancier and one Of the Republican
dictators OF Illinois. Charles B. Mum
day, said to have been the directing
influence in the Lorimer-Munday
string of banks, was was found guilty
of conspiracy November 19. 1885, ,af-
ter a trial at Morris, ILL.,, the case hav-
ing been transferred from Cook coln-
ty on change OF venue on petition
of Munday.
William Lorimer's rapid rise from
n Chicago newsboy to a seat In the
United States Senate and his fall
when his seat was declared vacant on
the ground that his election had been
procured by fraud and bribery, form
an interesting chapter in the political
history of Illinois. Nearly year af-
ter Lorimer's election to the Senate.
Charles A. White, a member OF the
legislature; who had voted for Lori
mer, made written confession un-
der oath that he had received bribs
for his vote and that a lack pot"
corruption fund had been used in the
session to influence legislation.
I.orimer was born in Manchester,
England, in 1861, the son of Pres
byterian minister who emigrated
with his family to this country ami
settled in Chicago when yonnd Lori
mer was nine years old. He sold
newspapers on the streets OF Chicago,
drove a laundry wagon and became a
street car driver before entered poll
tics. He served twelve years in Con-
gress before he was elcted United
State. senator, May IS, 1909.
Munday was messenger. boy ana
then became telegraph operator In
his home town OF Litchfield, Ill. La
ter he became interested in the grain
business. and in 1910 came to Chlca-
60 and induced Lorlmer to enter q,
bank with him. May 10. 1910, the La
Sale Street National Bank opened
its doors with William Lorimer, pres
ident, and Charles B. Munday vice
president. The institution was de-
MED full admission to the Chicago
Clearing House and for time oper-
ated by clearing through another
bank.
October 90, 1912, the La Sale
Street National Bank was converted
into the La Sale Street Trust and
Savings Bank. state institution.
The state bank assumed all liabll-
tiles and assets Of the National, keep
