HEAD OF MURDERED
WOMAN TO Be SHOWN

Mountain View, N. H., Sept. 30
Broken in nerve and weeping, Freder-
lex K. Small. retired Boston broker, sat
alone in his cell here tonight, accused
of numbering his third wife, and know
ing that the prosecution proposes to
show her grewsome head in trying to
prove his guilt. Smalls show of con-
fidence went to pieces utterly today.
Feebly he pleaded not guilty and was
held for hearing Oct. 5. Before these
preliminaries an inquest had pieced to-
gether the horrible details of the death
of Mrs. Small in the lonely bungalow
at Ossipee Lake near here. DIR E. w.

ruins of the cottage a women's head,
with eight wounds on It. one from a
bullet and with mass Of white cloth

partly charred, told the story of stran-
gulation in Hodsons opinion.

The essential problem in the devel-
opment of the automobile has been not
so much the production Of power, as
controlling the power after 1t has been
produced. Elwood Haynes ran his first
car without a clutch or transmission.
and it was necessary to solve these and
other problems of power control before
the automobile was anything like a
serviceable piece of mechanism.
Elwood Haynes himself furthered the
usefulness of the motor car in the early
days of the industry by designing the
first working transmission, which was
of a sliding gear type. In this the
gears for the three speeds we're operat-
ed by long fingers. actuated in turn by
the drivers hand lever Instead OF
walking stick or slot arrangement, the
lever was pulled back for reverse, and
pushed forward to the first, second, or
third notches for the forward speeds.
This type of gear shift could be easily
operated by a child. and after its APP
pearance in 1897. 1t continued in gen.
eral use until 1t was displaced by the
selective gear transmission In 1905.

PARIS AND berlin
PRESS COMMENT ON
STATEMENT BY GEORGE

Paris. Sept. 30.-"Lloyd George talks
like blacksmith hits an anvil" said
the Figaro in discussing today the
statement given by the British war sec
rotary to the United States. There
Is nothing melodramatic and nothing
melodious in his statement Premier
BRAND recently dscoursed on the same
theme"
Lucien Millevoye, writing in La Pat
RE, declared:
This proud declaration from Lloyd
George will resound through the world
as the irrevocable response to incerti-
tude, regarding the aim of the war. 1t
settles not only for England, but for
the allies the question of war which
cannot be settled save by war and
peace which can only be had by in
flexible victory
Georges Berthoutlat, writing in
Liberte, compared the declarations of
Lloyd George and Bethmann -Hollweg
finding that Lloyd Georges statement
is that of a man proud, energetic, ir
resistible and confident of his ability
to deliver the knock out" Hollweg S
statement, he said was like bad wal

History of the Shaft Drive

The problem of power transmission
to the rear axle presented problems
that were no less formidable than those
OF the gear box. In the first Ameri
can automobile. the motor was sus-
pended on a buggy frame so that the
rear axle was driven by chain and
sprocket.
Actual practice brought out several
serious objections to this arrangement,
and when the plan OF suspending the
motor directly on the rear axle was
tried out, beginning in 1896, direct
gear drive came into use.
The vibration of the motor on the
rear axle proved so Objectionable
however. that the engine was suspend
ed on the springs with the body. The
new arrangement necessitated the
chain drive. used by practically all
the motor car builders whose combined
output in 1900 was 500
When the motor was placed at the
front of the chassis in 1908 and 1904.
the shaft drive came into use, and has
since become a permanent fixture on
every modern motor car

threat that some one of the Balkan
countries hostile to Greece and dan

Grecian cities by the Bulgarians
Two considerations will keep her
out-lack of guarantees against loss
and lack of assurance % opportunity
for territorial expansion in case she
throws her lot with the allies.
Sentiment in Greece he said, is ov-
erwhelmingly in favor of the allies.
One reason for this, he said, is the
dislike of the Bulgars. If the Bull
gars show any intention to continue
occupation of Greek Cities he said
Greece will be forced in. And if any

The carnival spirit which gripped the
crowd In attendance at the Gem State

when a drizzling rain scattered the
last of the crowd which remained on

and two blocks on Grove street, disap-
peared in magic audiences with the
crowd and this morning Boise Is in Its
usual business dress after having roy
ally entertained large crowd the en-

Not an accident marred the entire
celebration. The crowds were orderly
and drivers of automobiles were care
full and obeyed the officers stationed at
the various corners to direct traffic
without a murmer. In fact their CO.
operation with officers was what pre-
vented accidents.
There were no robberies reported
during the week and only one or two
cases of pockets being picked In these
cases the amounts lost were so small
that they were not reported to the DO
lice.
The visitors in Boise had a good
time They are leaving with pleasing
recollectons of the 1916 Gem State
fair and tue pleasures given them while

O'LEARY REPLIES
TO CURT MESSAGE
FROM PRESIDENT
Denies That He Is Disloyal
and Says the Question
Was Evaded and Cannot
Be Answered.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-Jeremiah A.
OLeary, PRESENT of the American
Truth society, again scored President
Wilson in a statement issued here to-
night in answer to the presidents curt
telegram to him scoring what he called
the "disloyal vote"
OLeary denied he was disloyal to
America, saying his ancestors had
fought for the Union while President
wilson's kin were struggling to de-
stroy it,"
OLeary said he had sent the follow
ing telegram to President Wilson:
In your telegram of yesterday you
have evaded every question that
raised. In acting thus, you have fol-
lowed your usual method of carrying on
controversy with an opponent. Now
YOU seek, by an indirect charge of dis
loyalty, charge which you dared not
directly make, to escape the question
which you cannot answer.
Il challenge comparison both by
heredity and environments, of my life
and antecedents with yours. While
three of my uncles were dying in de-
Tense of the union, those of your kin
who dared to fight were struggling to
destroy it.
In my brief contact with public af-
fairs, l have sought to follow the ad-
vice and example of Washington, OF
jefferson, of Lincoln and of the other
great presidents, to the end that all
Americans might stand upon the plane
of equality and fraternity. 1t has re-
NAMED for you to break new ground
as a president and seek to divide your
countrymen into racial and religious
groups. The word 'hyphenated was
never used in any phase of American
life until you coined it to insult your
hosts. real Americans of irish blood, at
| the dedication of the Commodore Barry
monument in Washington.
Nov you speak of disloyalty What
do you mean? Disloyalty to America
or disloyalty to England? / stand as
the men of my blood have always stood,
| in favor of America as against every
| foreign power. Do you? And partic-
ularly, I stand against the present ag-
gressions Of that power from which
we have wrung our freedom in the
revolution and which has ever since by
force and guile, attempted to take 1t
from us.
TRUCKING TO ENGLAND.
"I charge again that your foreigs
policies. your Mexican ENHANCEMENT,
your action on the Panama canal, your
failure to sustain American rights, your
trucking to England. your approval of
war loans and of the munitions traffic,
are all subversive of the interests of
