MOTOR TRUCKS AID CAR CONGESTION
Movement of Trains FaciIi- tated by Motor Truck
 Transportation

The systematic carrying of freight by motor truck is a distinct economic trend that is being closely watched in the trans portation world. To the casual observer the motor truck industry of 1917 seems to have attained adult proportions said Jewell Taylor, manager of the local Good year tire branch. People felt the same way about railroads 50 years ago. To the thoughtful person, however, nothing can seem clearer than that we are now watch ing only the infantile steps of an industry which contains the seeds of revolutionary growth"
 R. S. Wilson, manager of the motor truck tire department of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company, believes that we are witnessing only the early stage in a development that will vitally change the transportation methods of this coun- try. Says MT Wilson:
 There are now about 25O,O0O motor trucks in the United States engaged in every conceivable kind of service With out these trucks to relieve the unprece- dented railroad congestion, commercial conditions would long before this have become intolerable Not only is the motor truck facilitating the unloading of freight cars and the transportation of freight to storage houses, but wherever permanent ly improved roads form connecting links between important business centers the rubb tired freighter is competing with the railroad for the short-haul business And in these days of freight congestion the motor truck is getting all the business it can dispose of
 ''Ye there has been little credit coming to any tire manufacturer for the service truck tires have given-and but small margin of profit. Tire equipment on a truck is even more important than it is on an automobile; there must be more definite value returned for the expense involved. Business men are pitlessly ex- acting in their demands of service from motor truck tires.
 Yet we have not hesitated to enter the most difficult fields of commercial haul ing with our S-V Pressed-on truck tire. Mileages exceeding 40000 in city bus serv- ice have shown us that we were not mis- taken in our estimate of the tires worth
 Long mileage alone, however, is not important. Rubber tires are to cushion the roads. Otherwise steel tires would be used So if long wear is attained at the expense of cushioning power the tire does rot serve it's primary purpose. It is fortunate for truck owners that the S-V truck tire does not attain it's long mileage at tn expense of cushioning.''

Another Girard Raid Nets
 Officers $500 in Liquor
 Which Is Poured in River

Girard, June 9.-(Special. )-Sheriff Lind say and deputies keep up their we'll earned reputation of looking well into the work of prohibition law violators, the latest being a raid staged this afternoon on place known as the Manhattan club in North Girard, where they found about $500 worth of the wet goods.

 A number of the teachers for the next session of the Girard city schools were selected at a meeting of the board of edu- cation held last night There are three or four vacancies among the grade teachers yet and the high school teachers have not been named. The teachers elected lass night are as follows: Prof. and Mrs D. L. Black for North Grard, Miss An nie Hagin, Miss Maggie Clardy, Miss Ger trude Fields and Mrs. Marlborough for part of the grades in Central school. Superin- tendent R. K.

Automobile Tax Is
 Reduced by Committee

Washington, June 9.-After adopting a
 new reduced federal license tax on auto- mobiles, abandoning taxation on confec- tionery and approving a tax on cabaret patrons, the Senate finance committee in- terrupted it's revision of the war tax bill today until Monday with wide disagree ments remaining among the members on license, publishers and excess profits rates The bill probably will not be com pleted until late next week.
 The new automobile schedule imposes or: owners of pleasure motors a minimum
 tax of s5 with graduation upward based virtually at 1 per cent upon the original
 selling price. A reduction allowance is
 made upon used cars ranging up to 5C
 per cent.
 Taxation of candy was eliminated at
 the suggestion of Senator Williams who pointed out that sugar and cocoa taxes already agreed upon would cover the principal ingredients of confectionery Committee differences on the income excess profits and publishers tax sections are said to be extreme. Senator Gore announced today that he will present a minority report, and other members are reserving the right to offer amendments in the Senate.
 On the question of taxing publishers there is a particularly wide disagreement None would predict the ultimate outcome tonight except to say that some form oi taxation is certain. Senator LaFollette | toGay proposed, in lieu of taxing adver- Using receipts or raising postage rates l a dir ,ct tax of S. or even 10 per cent
 on publishers net income.

Russian Sailors Demand
 That Deposed Czar Be
 Brought to Bar of Trial

Petrograd, June 9.--(Via London 1.-The demand of the revolutionaries for the trial and condign punishment of Nicholas Romanoff, the former Emperor, and, in the meantime his subjection to restraint in prison, which at first was made only bS a handful of irresponsible extremists, is growing daily. All Petrograd laughed at the resolution of the Bolsheviki the faction led by Nikolai Lenine, two days ago demanding the transfer of Nicholas to Krondstadt even to the Siberian mines.
 But today comes official news that the crews of the battleships Republic ana Gangut and the cruiser Diana, stationed at Helsingfors had adopted a resolution recurring the imprisonment of the former Emperor at Krondstadt until he is placed on trial. The sailors decclared that if the demand was rejected the warships would apply force

FIGURES INDICATE
 REGISTRATION IS
 ABOUT 9,OOO,OOO
Reports From 26 States, Representing Over Half of Population, Show Es-
 innate Not Reached

Washington, June 9.-Twenty-six states and the District of Columbia having all told slightly more than 50 per cent of plete reports of their military registration tonight showing total registration of 1, ZIG, 76S young men for war service.
 For the territory reporting the census estimate was 5372. .596 eligibles On the basis of the returns it was calculated that the grand total of registration prob ably would be close to 5000, ,0OO in place of 10,264O00 as forecast by the census ex- perts
 The reports showed white registrations totalling 3,501 ,456, negro 634, ,170, alien 277,- 00l and enemy alien 45,01S. Possible ex- emptions indicated totaled 250S,6 SPA
 Officials pointed out tonight that the census figures were intended only as approximate, and that the discrepan should not be taken as indicating eva sion of the draft. It also was poin ted out that between 5000 and 1000 900 Included in the estimate already are members of the armed forces of the nation and therefore did not register
 Many of the states which previously reported complete returns are sending supplemental reports adding to their totals. Delays in registering, especial ly among those who registered by mail, is responsible. This shifting of totals may delay a final tabulation for week or more
 In some states there was confusion over classification of those registering, making it difficult to tabulate in con else form ever the returns so far re- ceived.
 The states which had sent returns when the provost marshal generals of- flee closed tonight were:
 Alabama. Arkansas. California, Con- necticut Delaware, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island South carolina. Tennessee, Vermont, Wash lngton Wisconsin, West Virginia, North Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Iowa, Texas, Colorado and Kansas

T. H. McDearmon, general manager

STUDEBAKER PILOT
CAR IN ST. LOUIS
Overland Journey of 1857
Miles Made Through Sea of
Mud and Over Almost
impossible Roads.

The Studebaker pilot car, the Off
cial trail blazer of the now famous
"On to St. Louis" overland tour Of
the San Francisco Advertising club,
arrived in St. Louis Sunday, June 3,
only three hours behind schedule.
With the Studebaker pilot car was
another Studebaker, driven by pri-
vate owner from the Golden Gate.
Only one other automobile kept COM
pany to the Studebaker cars upon
their triumphant entry into the south
ern metropolis, the balance of the
caravan having dropped by the way
side long before.
A caravan of fourteen automobiles
left San Francisco at $50 o'clock the
morning of May 10, carrying dele
gates from the San Francisco Adver-
Using club to the convention of ad
men at St. Louis, which opened June
3. A short ceremony was held at the
city hall shortly before the cars start
ed for their long trip. Mayor Rolph
handed the delegates a letter to
Mayor Kiel of St. Louis before Off
cially starting the caravan. The big
idea of the cross-country caravan was
primarily to boost San Francisco as
the place for the 1918 convention. The
delegates were we'll armed to put it
over successfully--and they did.
Almost Impossible Roads.
Chestern N. Weaver, San Francisco
distributor OF Studebaker cars, in
charge of the Studebaker pilot car,
says the roads for nearly the entire
distance were next to impossible.
Veritable seas OF mud were encoun-
tered from Lovelocks, New, TO Fort
Bridger, Wyo, and, for that matter,
practically all the way into St. Louis,
with hail and rain storms en- route to
add to the discomfort of the intrepid
Californians.
At the Utah boundary 400 automo-
biles and Governor Bamberger re-
ceived the caravan, escorting it into
Ogden. At Salt Lake City many of
the cars were in sorry plight and
were shipped on to Denver by freight.
The two Studebaker cars, however,
kept gamely to the task before them
and continued to pillow their way over
land. Storms and SHOWS had damaged
parts OF the Lincoln highway to such
an extent that it was next to impos-
sible to maintain scheduled speed.
After leaving Limon, Colo, it took
the tourists five hours to travel the
next thirty miles.
An average Of between Us and 200
miles per day was made on this trip.
