not to speak before political audi

Motorcycle Notes

4 machine gun company has been
organized at Columbia, Mo, with the
idea of having the entire company
mounted on motorcycles. Among the
Harley-DaVidson riders who have en-
listed are many professional and busi-
nessmen, including bankers, archi-
tects, members of the city engineers 8
staff. doctors and professors in the
University of Missouri.
More motorcycles are used by the
Peoples Gas & Coke Company, Chicago,
than by any other corporation in the
world. A recent purchase of forty-five
Harley-Davidsons brings the total to
III machines used by that one company
in its Cook county service department.

in his possession all the securities
stolen on a ferryboat at New York on

The arrest was a piece of good luck
by the postal authorities. Quigley was
seized on suspicion of being wanted
in St. Louis for raising money orders.
An alleged confederate named George
F. Windall was arrested with him, but
is held on n technical charge. Quigley
fought against arrest and tried to get
a loaded pistol from his pocket, but
was overpowered by the inspectors,
and it and a quantity of what is be-

Motorcycle Machine Guns

OLDEST MACHINE
IS IN EXISTENCE
"Old Reliable" With 100000
Miles to It's Credit in
Chalmers Factory

Announcement of the new Chalmers
SiX-so revives memories OF the famous
Chaimers SOS of other days for the
veterans of the automobile industry.
Still in active service at the Detroit
factory with over 100000 miles of
strenuous service to its credit "old Re-
liable" the first Chalmers 80" touring
car ever built shows seemingly no
signs of wearing out During the re-
cent Chalmers sales convention. this
historic car chugged proudly ahead of
the half-million dollar procession. made
up of the latest Chalmers mt els. With
+. Ed. Spooner at the wheel, the old
car set a pace that kept the rear guard
humping in an effort to keep up with
the parade.
Turned out early in 1909. Old Re
liable has probably travelled over more
sections of the American continent
than falls to the lot of the average
globe-trotter. Acting as pathfinder for
the Flag to Flag endurance run from
Denver to Mexico City. the first Chal-
mers left Denver on May 1st, 1909
bound for Rio Grande. Even before
that time ii had piled up a mileage Of
over 10000 miles. having travelled 200
miles per day, for 100 days in an en-
durance run out of Detroit.
With Billy Knipper at the wheel,
Old Reliable started on its $500 mile
trip to the capital of Mexico through
the deserts and uncharted wilder
nesses. Weighing in at the custom
house at Juarez, the Old Reliable tin
ped the beam at 2,400 pounds with an
a Al q Nugygsa VneVr., =
or $500 pounds. At that time but one
other car had made the 500 mile trim
from Denver to the Mexican border.
once into Mexico, the TOURISTS trou-
bles began without delay. Driver
knipper shifted gears on the old go"
so often that he wore out the shifting
lever which broke off close to the run
ming board. Knipper tore UP the run
ming board and tied tire iron to the
stub of the shifting lever which he
therefore controlled with his foot.
Running out of water i'm the great
Tierra Blanca desert stripped gear
put the car out OF commission with
only a scant supply of water available.
Two OF the party started for aid and
returned after two days rescuing their
half-dead companions. The trim was
completed without mishap. but has
gone down in automobile history as
one of the most gruelling tests ever
given a car.
"Old Reliable" later took part in the
Westinghouse to-Boston Munsey tour.
the tour from New York to Atlanta
when Ty Cobb acted as pilot Pad in
numerous other endurance runs.
The fact that II is still rendering
excellent service at the Chalmers fac
tory is a tribute to the quality of ma =
terial and workmanship which has
characterized Chalmers cars from the
beginning.
