FIGHT ON S-HOUR Bill

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 9.-The Union
Pacific Railroad Company filed suit
in the Federal Court here yesterday

called eight-hour law recently pass
ed by Congress and known as the
Adamson act. Thomas S. Allen
United States District Attorney, and
four Union Pacific trainmen repre-
senting the different railroad broth
erhoods are made parties defendant
The bill Of complaint alleges that
the law is unconstitutional because
it is not a proper regulation of inter-
state commerce, because it violates
the guarantees of the fifth amend
ment to the Federal Constitution and
because it is unavoidable as applied
to existing conditions under which
the trainmen are operating.

THE GREAT AMERICAN QUESTION

WFTAS Woodrow Wilson or Charles Evans Hughes
been elected President of the United StatesFg
That y the one and the alI-absorbing question that
Is ON the lips Of millions OF Americans.
The electoral situation Is such in several of the
States that it be hours, and possibly days. before
the result Is known.
With President Wilson s5G electoral votes,
with Hughes assured of sl3 electoral votes; with s6e
votes necessary for VictOry with four States with
total Of 80 votes still in doubt and with puraIlties on
Incomplete returns running very close, il is seemingly
anybody'S fight at this hour.
To Republicans encouraging feature of the situa-
ton is that Hughes is making material gains as the re-
turns come in from California, Minnesota New Mexico
and New Hampshire, the four doubtful States He is
within 1000 OF leading Wilson in California, with many
Republican precincts yet to be heard FROM and he has
Whitfield away Wilson's lead in Minnesota and Is 500
ahead with 500 precincts yet be heard FROM In the
two other States he seems TO be holding his own and.
in instances, gaining Ii he has carried California
and Minnesota. he has won. because he needs only
tWenythree votes and those two states combined have
twenty-five votes. provided, that owing 10 the close
vote the State electoral Delegates have not been divided
between the two candidates. is now suggested with
respect to California.
President Wilson seemingly needs ten electoral votes
to elect him. II he has carried either California or
Minnesota he has according to the unofficial re.
turns, but he cannot win without of them because
New Mexico and New Hampshire combined can give TO
him only votes three less than the number he
apparently needs for success.
With such a situation Il Is not surprising that the
political managers for President Wilson and Mr. Hughes
watching the returns like hawks and doing every.
thing possible TO guard the interests OF their respective
candidates. Nor is it surprising that public interest in
such remarkable situation is keyed 10 the highest
pitch.
Neither the Republican nor the Democratic managers
will make any concessions with respect to the doubtful
States and neither viii be satisfied until the official can
'ass has been made. The intensity OF feeling is al
ready shown Vance Mccormick. Democratic National
Chairman, has issued warnings 10 his eutenants 10
"guarG ballot boxes lest they be tempered WITH
William r. Wilcox, chairman OF the Republican Ma
tona Committee. has retOrted that anyone who "ntI.
mates that the Republicans will steal the election is
contemplate scoundreL" lie Immediately issued n
warning to the Republican managers everywhere TO
guard against election stealing by the Democrats.
II will be seen therefore, that the fight is not only
very close but also very tense and bordering upon the
acrimonious.
With both sides guarding the returns. il is not likely
that the will of the people will be upset in any Stale
with respect TO the Presidency.
1t is a critical time in American politics when each
American should keep a strong hold upon his common
and temper.

SOME FORESEE CHANGE
IN STATUS OF VATICAN

/ tees the Holy Father is only priv
eyed to occupy the Vatican proper
ties. the Jesuit writes. If the Italian
Government would substitute pro
prietorship" for Occupancy he would
implicitly become sovereign and IN
dependent, he maintains.
Italy's fundamental law would have
10 be changed to permit this .substl-
tuition. Foreign powers, being neces-
iarily notified of this change, would
be indirectly but officially informed
Of the Papacys sovereignty. All in
ternat onal debate on the question
would thereby be Obvated. Father
Erhle concludes
Several other possible solutions
have come from less informed
sources. One suggests that the Holy
Father be given Trent as place to
re establish the papacy. Although
long in Austrian hands. Italy calls
this present battlefield region its "un-
redeemed land" Under such an ar
rangement an archbishop would rule
over the Roman diocese and the Pope
would again be seen abroad. This
suggestion. however, is not taken
very seriously.
Another would grant him she Leo
nine c ty This would embrace a por-
ton of Rome in the Trestevere dis
trict and a strip of land, reaching to
the sea. A seaport town, probably
Ostia, also would be included. This
plan just now provokes far more
emphatic official and popular opposi
ton on the part of the Italians than
Father Erhle's.

design and price the new car proved
a surprise and a delight to the pub
lie"
While the twelve-cylinder engine
was regarded by many as radical
change, It was in reality logical step
in Packard development. It was bas-
ed on the idea of splitting larger
stresses into small ones. the basic prin-
cipIe on which rests the most i'm
portant advance in the motor art
from its crude beginning In the one
cylinder car. The advantages claimed
for the Twin Six are not only greater
smoothness and less noise, but also
greater power combined with reduc-
ed cost OF operation and maintenance
The first car Of this design was
brought out only after a long period
Of, testing. which involved continuous
running under racing conditions on
the speedway. The car has proved
so satisfactory that the changes en-
bodied in the new model are mostly
of a minor character.
The new model cars are built con-
siderably lower than any previous
Packard cars, the chassis alone being
approximately two inches lower. This
has been made possible by using 35X6-
inch tires on all four wheels. by flat
tening the rear springs and by the
lowering of the spring pad on the
front axle, thus bringing the running
boards to sixteen inches from the
ground. This lower construction
greatly improves the appearance of
the cars and makes them more COM
pact. The bodies are roomy and COM
Portable.
AS has always been the case with
the Packard company, special care.
special attention has been given to
the bodies. There is an entirely new
body, a very neat four passenger run

there are individual front seats, with
a passageway between, 80 that two
persons may be seated comfortably
