New York, Oct. 2S.-Who is the wife Of

stead, L. l.? A woman of 90 or a girl of
25?
Lawyers have been known to disagree,
but there are few legal disputes on record
more curious than the one which has
arisen between Lincoln B. Haskin, counsel
for the centenarian, who is pressing Il
charge of assault against Mrs. Lubetsky
and H. Willard Griffths, who represented
the woman in the case.
Lubetsky charged that his wife had
wounded him on the wrist with a carv-
ing knife in a quarrel which Mr.. Hasl1in,
his counsel, asserts was due to jealousy
concerning a younger man. The case was
postponed till December l.
John Lubetsky's wife is about % years

side. She is not the mother of his oldest
children, of course. He married her only

woman is her daughter. She sides with
her mother in this case and Their con-
slant association has confused the attor-

New York, Oct. 2S.-Jacob NJ Dickin-
son, who, although a Democrat, served as
Secretary of War under President Taft
and who Is now receiver of the Rock
Island system, came out yesterday with
a strong Endorsement OF President VIII
son. Indications. he said, pointed strong
and almost conclusively'' to the re-elec-
ton Of Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Dickinson said that Mr.. Hughes
speeches had not strengthened his candi-
dacy, and that the course outlined by the
Republican nominee in regard to the Lusi-
tania might have produced war.
New York, Oct 2S.-Gov. Martin c..

night, predicted that his State would re-
turn a Republican majority of at least
2OO,O 900.
New York, Oct. 8.-William R Wilcox,
chairman Of the Republican National

that has been noticed on his countenance
since the campaign opened. The smile
was noticed after he had finished a con-
ference with Herman A. Metz. The latter
has announced himself in favor Of
Charles Evans Hughes. The Republicans,
while protesting that they are not seek
ing votes on racial or religious lines, at
the same time admit that Mr.. Metz's
popularity with German-Americans is to
be counted as a great asset to their cam
paign. So highly do the Republicans re-
gard the acquisition Of Mr.. Metz that he
is to be used to make speeches to Ger

First, there is a dearth of cars

A 2O-Fold Demand

We suppose the demand for all
season types has increased twenty
fold in a year.
And history shows that when a
trend gains that momentum it
soon dominates the field.
- So this is sure: A large percent
age of buyers hereafter will de-
mand one car for all weathers and
seasons. That demand is rooted
in good sense, so it is bound to
flourish.
But it has grown so fast that
fne-car makers this fall cannot
halfway meet it. There will be
an enormous shortage. So folks
Who seek a car of this sort should
decide at once.
