GERMAN BOMBS MADE
ON INTERNED VESSEL
Testimony Against PIOtteTs Is
Ended.

New York, March 2S.-After evil
dence had been admitted that 250l
shells for fire bombs had been manu-
featured in twelve days on board al
German merchant steamship tied upl
at Hoboken, N. j., the government
closed its case against Captain Charles
Won Kleist and five other Germans on
trial for conspiracy to destroy vessels
carrying munitions from American
ports to the entente allies,
Counsel for the defendants moved
for dismissal, but Judge vonFleet,
presiding, declared there was ample
evidence Of conspiracy IL the jury
should find 1t sufficient"
Captain Won Kleist then was called
to the stand and told of having been
approached in March, 1915, by DR..
Walter l.. Scheele, who informed him
The wanted good man to go into the
fertilizer business in Hoboken."
"Scheele said to me-" the witness
testified, care you German?' l said
I guess So He said, Are you an
AmeilCdu Sdiu yes, anu ne odiVs
DO you like Germany I said, YES,
it's my old fatherland; like 1t as:
much as you do He said would do"
DR.. Scheele, who was indicted with
Won Kleist and the others, fed from
Hoboken when the alleged bomb plot
was disclosed and now is believed to
be in Mexico.
Captain Won Kleist denied that he
had any criminal knowledge of the
bombmaking, but admitted that when
DR.. Scheele failed to pay some notes
he had given to him he (von Kleist)
sought an interview with Wolf Won
Igel, an attache of the German en-
bassy, because Scheele had told him
Won Igel would pay Won Igel re-

as minor matter by General Won
Stein, Prussian minister of war, in an
interview with the Berlin correspond

on all fronts is good and justifies orrI
best hopes. 1t appears the enemy Isl

HUDSON SUPER-S|X |S AGAIN WINNER IN
 GRUELL|NC CONTEST

A Hudson Super Six, driven by A. H. Patterson of Stockton. not only cleaned up the 100 mile Floral Classic" held at Santa Rosa, Cal, last Sunday but established a new track record for the distance according to information re- ceived by Cal Messner, local Hudson dealer. Patterson drove the distance in 96 minutes and g second, an average of better than a mile a minute. despite perpetual clouds of sand and dust, and the short strai ight-aways and un- banked turns of the one mile oval.
 The Super Six received the checker ed flag a lap and half ahead of it's nearest competitor. a sixteen valve Dusenberg, driven by Bolden. Another Dusenberg, driven by Price. finished in third place.
 Patterson's only stop was made in the 9Sth lap when, with a secure lead, he stopped to change a tire that was threatening trouble. The Super-Six motor did not require the slightest at tention during the event and the hood was not raised during the race Be- cause of the rough condition of the track, and the consequent punishment on tires, Patterson drove a conservative race. rather than seeking for bursts of ot'CON- iVitoNllIS tiiio poiiOSi ic dso- sumed the lead toward the middle o~ the race and thereafter was not headed
 Southern California motor fans re- member Patterson for his splendid driving last fall in the Vanderbilt and Grand PriX races at Santa Monica. l.. the latter event he set a new nonstop road race record with his Super Six. He was also one of the drivers of the Hudson which last year set the single and double transcontinental record. His latest victory in the Santa Rosa track event stamps him as an all-round pilot of unusual skill.

HAYNES HAS b|G
 MILEAGE RECORD

Four round trips across the continent with side trips into practically every state in the union and with total of more than II 900 miles on the speedO- meter at the end of each trip is the record which Y. L. Bowman. of Ala meda. California has established in the past two years with his seven -passen- ger Haynes car In addition. on each trip. he has drawn with the Haynes a 2000 pound auto trailer equipped com plete for camping and country travel Bowman and his wife spent this week in Phoenix.
 Bowman is a business man and man. ufacturer of the California city with large business interests in eastern cities. He is travelling through the nation for the purpose of advertising his products and to introduce to the public several lines of auto supplies and accessories which he represents. He has chosen the Haynes light six as his vehicle of conveyance after sev- eral years of experiment and trials with several other models of more ard less expensive cars including some of the most popular makes on the market.
 Business and pleasure are combined by the Haynes tourist and his wife on these trans continental trips His tFttllef, one or the most complete on the market. is fully equipped for camping. When he makes stops for the night he turns his motor vehicles into a hotel for the accommodation of himself and wife. In twenty minutes the next morning the hotel is trans formed into a travelling kit and he is again en route to his next stopping place. He has been on the road much of the time for the past four years. and has camped out on each trip pIac- tically all of the time
 One of the features of MT. Bow mans trip is his mileage on distilIate. the only fuel he has burned in his Haynes since it's purchase In pre- Vicus models which the tourist has owned he has eXperimented with this fuel. When he began his last series of tours he equipped his car with a. Thurston gasifier Since he has used gasoline for starting his car but has made his entire mileage on the heavier and less expensive distillate. Carving his 20001pound trailer and several hundred pounds of automobile access sories, Bowman has averaged for his
Arizona republican., 1917-05-27

entire four trips approximately 146 miles on each gallon of distillate. For i the entire 45,000 miles of the four trips the Haynes has averaged 942 miles on each gallon of lubricating oil. Tire mileage for the trips has been approx imately 11,000 miles to each set of shoes.
 Every character of road and every condition of climate and element were encountered by the tourist on his trips. Mountain roads of the most difficult character, desert roads which wind and twist through sands and ruts, muddy and rocky and sandy stretches of miles and miles in length and varying characters of weather failed to halt the Haynes in the en- tire 45,000 miles which it has covered in it's four trips across the country
 Daily averages of miles are hard for the tourist to draw. On some days the
 Haynes will make several hundred miles On other days. when the roads are hard and the weather is unfavor- able the mileage will fall to less than 100 miles, In the west, however, the average is generally well above 150 miles regardless of the character of the roads in making the first lap of the fifth trip which brought Bowman into Phoenix this week. the greatest daily mileage was 312 miles. The least daily mileage was 135 miles. The greatest mileage was made from Bedding down the Sacramento valley by way of Chico, Oroyille. Sacramento and Stockton to San Francisco The dis tance of 312 miles was covered be- tween SIC o'clock in the morning and :: 50 in the evening. The least mileage, from Prescott to Phoenix, was made between in the morning and 3 30 in the evening.
 Bowman is now on his fifth trans continental journey. He left Butte, Montana, on April 23. He will return to the west Sometime about October l, after visiting in Boston and New York En route to the east he will follow the southern route. His return will be over a route through the northern states.
