OFFICER KILLS
NEGRO BURGLAR
Attempting to Escape After
Being Caught Iu the
lille Flat.

Saturday night shortly after IL
o'clock when Dave Morgan, a sales
man at FrankeI's, entered mis- room
in the Hille fiat where his roommate,
a young man named Wilson, was
asleep, he heard some one in his
room. Thinking it was Wilson he
said, What are you doing up SO
late?" and turned on the light to see
negro man, Garther Cunningham,
rummaging about, who grappled with
him and getting out of the room ran
to the back end of the hall, unable to
get out, he ran back to the front steps
and as he passed his door Mr.. Nor
gan struck him with a glass vase
knocking him down the steps. Police
man A. w. Witherspoon on the street
heard the commotion and reached the
corner just as the negro gained his
feet and ran down Eleventh street.
Witherspoon called to him to stop,
but he continued to run and the Off
Ger emptied his revolver at him. One
ball entered his back and passed
through his body. The man ran on
to his home on Water street, where
he fell on the porch of his father,
Tandy Cunningham.
The dead man was about rs years
old and formerly was employed in a
barber shop. !.

COLE EIGHT CLAIMS RECORD
Went Higher Up Mount Diablo Than
Any Of Its Competitors.

For the second successive time n
Cole Eight stock car has carried off
the high-gear trophy which goes to
the winner of the Mount Diablo hill
climbing contest held each year at
Oakland, Cal, is the way the press
agent puts the matter before the pub
lie for the Cole manufactures.
The Cole Eight finished II feet
farther up the the tortuous mountain
climb than any other stock car COM
peting, outdistancing a field which in
cluded Cadillac Eight, Stearns
Eight, King Eight, Haynes Twelve and
Kissell Twelve.
The Mount Diablo hill climb is re-
garded as one of the blue-ribbon
events of the year on the Pacific coast
and as such serves to attract thou
sands OF motor enthusiasts to Oakland.
This year the event was held on
October 22. and history repeated itself
when Cole Eight duplicated it's vic
tory of the previous year by outdis-
tancing all rivals in the climb towards
the summit.
Those who witnessed the contest
were greatly impressed by the climb
ing ability and stamina of the Cole
and declare II was one of the most
startling stock car performances in
the history OF the Mount Diablo event.

NEW HIGH.GEAR RECORDS
BY STOCK TOURING CARS

a new record for high gear per-
fornia by Haynes light twelve
even passenger touring car. says Roy
R. Getman OF the Tulsa Haynes COM
oany.
Wayne Corbln OF the Haynes agency
At Oakland, Cal, driving a brand-new
| aaynes demon<rator and carrying
three other passengers. recently cap
tured the silver trophy offered by an
Oakland newspaper to the stock car
climbing I'm high gear to the highest
point on Mount Diablo, near Oakland
The summit OF the mountain is nearly
four thousand feet above sea level.
Corbln drove the Haynes So feet be-
yond the point reached by the pre-
pious holder Of the cup, which was
nrst put up early last spring and has
been held by several makes of motor
rars since that time. Rivalry for its
possession has been spirited. as Mount
Oiablo is declared 20 represent the
hardest high-gear test in the world.
Before the Haynes made It's record, II
was thot that the final mark had been
set and that permanent possession of
the coveted trophy already was Sc
cure.
The climb on Mount Diablo repre-
cents nearly II miles, every mile be-
ing over winding grade that even
tually reaches an altitude of 3,S67
feet above sea level. Nearly all cars
require the constant use>~of second
gear to make the climb, and then re-
sort to low gear on the final steep
Ditch. The point reached by Corbin
was half way up this last stretch, and
every inch Of the &c feet past the for
mer high-gear mark was a gruelling
fight against gravity.
"One OF the remarkable features OF
the record set by the Haynes was the
fact that the motor never showed at
any time the least evidence of heat
Ing" said Mr.. Getman In comm enting
upon the achievement. The moto-
meter on the radiator did not give "A
single indication OF the struggle for
mastery over grades that the motor
went thru to win the most coveted
high-gear trophy in the entire west.
The Haynes cars mark was made
carrying passenger weight of 705
pounds on the final part of the climb.
which was the same weight carried by
the previous cup hold RS. From the
start at Oakland and up till the final
stretch, the car carried a passenger
fully equipped, carried an inflated
spare tire besides the tools. etc. which

are delivered to their owners.
Two cars, which had previously held
the cup, established camps on the
mountain and practiced for several
days before making their record. The
Haynes car made its record the same
day advice was received that an OBJ
server could go along. The driver took
the car over the route only once pre-
ceding the official climb.
The gear ratio of the Haynes Twelve
was 4.42 to j. which was certified as
being the regular Haynes twelve"
stock ratio, by a committee of three |
dealers OF Oakland The
climb was made under the personal |
supervision Of the automobile editor of |
the Oakland paper which contributed |

MOTORS COMPETE
WITH RAILROADS
Doing Much to Relieve Freight
Congestion on Atlantic
Seaboard.
MOVES ALL COMMODITIES
One Contractor Has Fleet of
66 Trucks With Capacity
Of $50 Tons.

Fleets OF motor trucks In service
along the Atlantic seaboard have Of
terod timely relief TO many large man
ufacturing companies who found IL
impossible 70 secure materials to
make their regular deliveries owing
10 the shortage OF freight cars and
the general terminal congestion
caused by the submarine menace, says
The Power Wagon.
In Philadelphia good share Of this
business has been handled by Sted-
man Bent hauling contractor. who
owns fleet of Sc large motor trucks.
An interesting example of how
emergencies Of this kind have been
met is the recent hauling of several
larEe copper chemical stills for the
Cytro Chemical company of Haywood,
n. j. The stills. which were eight
feet high. seven feet In diameter and
weigh nearly five thousand pounds
each. The Cytro company ordered
work on their construction rushed,
but when they were ready for delivery
no freight cars could be secured In
which TO ship them Two OF these
huge tanks were loaded on one OF the
five ton motor trucks and hauled TO
the Cytro plant In less than twelve
hours.
Handled Explosives Safely.
ADout the same time n call was re-
ceived from the General Chemical
company Of Camden. n. j. This con-
cern had a large shipment OF picric
acid which IL wished delivered TO n
customer In Easton, Pa. sixty miles
away. Because this acid is an ingredi-
ent In high explosive. the railroads
refused to carry IL and the freight
cars for shipment were not available
even had they been willing TO accept
II for transit. A fleet OF motor trucks
hnuled the acid TO Enston In ten hours
without experiencing mishap OF any
kind
The Congoleum company of Marcus
Hook. Pa, well-known rug manufac-
turer evaded the railroad tic-up by |
contracting to use trucks to haul long
and heavy rolls of felt paper from |

tanec of approximately thirty miles. |

short time ago the philadelphia !
Tapestry company, located at North
Wales, Pa, purchased new factory |
In Frankfort. sixty miles away. The |
problem OF moving tho large stock OF |
costly machinery was serious one
because there was no direct railroad |
communication and the plant was sew
