When this was concluded the commits
sion reconvened-showing again how
completely II lies in the hands OF the
coalition leaders-and the chancellor
immediately made the following state
ment:
"In my declarations before the inter-
mission I should not have mentioned
the possibility of a divergence from my
declaration of July 10. / stand by that
statement. That l did not have the IN ,
tention to vary from it Is demonstrated
by the fact that this morning ! had
sent out invitations for conferences by

innate touch with the reichstas, par
ttcularly in the negotiations over the
renly to the Pope. That answer can
only embody our striving for peace
of compromise and agreement. such as
was expressed in the resolution OF
July 49,"
willing to let it so on mere state
ment by the chancellor. So Deputy
Ebert, socialist, presented the follow :
ing formal declaration on beha1f OF
the center. socialist and progressive
"The. representatives Of the parties
who introduced the reichstag resoiu-
ton Of July 19 make the following
statement of facts:
First: In tho conferences over the
resolution which took place between
the representatives OF these parties
and the chancellor no one could assume
from the exchange Of statements that
the chancellor would not stand square
ly upon tho resolution:
Second: The remark of the chan
cellor that there were objective
(saachliche) differences among the
majority representatives over the in
depreciation of the resolution is not
founded on fact. All party leaders who
participated were completely of one
view concerning the unmistakable
sense and contents of their decision"

But the debate which followed and
particularly yesterdays and today's

no doubt that the chancellor-scarcely

lost much of the all important author

ports that come to Switzerland. the
majority leaders in the refchstag do
not intend to give up the advantage
they hold over him and to make full

INTERIOR OF CAR ,
IS FOR THE LADIES
Hence Precise Art Must Be
Employed to Make Appeal
to Feminine Fancy.
HOW EMoND DOES IT

How much of study it is to de-
sign the interiors OF enclosed cars is
little appreciated by the casual OBJ
server, yet the following statements
from w. II. Emond, body designer
of the Franklin Automobile company,
give an interesting glimpse of what
must be taken into consideration in
this work:
The interior OF an enclosed car
belongs to the ladies'" Mr.. Emond
states, "and it is perfectly right that
most of the appointments should be
designed to appeal to the feminine
eye and sense of comfort and con-
-venience.
Taste Decides.
ITO retain good taste in appoint
ments, they must combine well with
the Turkish overstuffed style OF up
holstcry, whic! seems necessary in a
motor car to attain the luxurious
comfort generally demanded. This
condition precludes the use of en-
phatically scrolled decoration, which
might suggest English or French
Renaissance periods, and brings the
selection down to appointments that
are incoRspicuous and avoid as far as
possible any suggestion of a bric-ag
hrac interior. To be in harmony with
this style, the fabrics can well be per-
fectly plain, but with rich, soft and
beautifully finished texture that gives
restful and satisfying appearance.

The section selected for the new
Allen factory site consists of about
$50 acres of land situated Eat the
northern corporate limits of Fos-
toria, and is traversed by three rail-
roads, the Big Four, the. Toledo &
Ohio Central and the Hooking VAL
ley. The tract has been secured by
contract and is now being surveyed
preliminary to the laying out of build
ing sites, streets, etc. The new home
of Allen motor cars is to be known
as "Allendale Addition" and is to
be provided with all modern improve
ments-paved streets, water, sewer
age, lights, etc.

Assembling the transports for the

Practically every car displayed at
the great national show at Chicago
will be included in the exhibits OF the
annual Omaha Automobile exposition
at the Auditorium starting February
20, according to Manager Clarke
Powell, who has just returned from
the Windy City event.
Powell reports that interviews
with representatives of all the large
factories brought the gladstone IT,
dings that not one OF the manufac-
/; turers intended TO pass up Omaha,
They were all agreed that the local
exposition is one of the most I'M
portant in the country because ii is

III will be impossible, Of course, Tor
as many models TO be shown at the
Omaha display as at Chicago, be-
cause the Auditorium does not COLI
tain enough space. But every line
will be exhibited. And most OF the
local dealers and agents are plan
ming to hold special displays in their
own show rooms, SO that il not at
the show itself all OF the models, too,
will be shown here.

Will be hotel bureau. The Omaha
Hotel Mems association will main
tain an Office in the front OF the Audi
forum. This bureau will have tee-
phone communication with all Of the
hotels in the city and will be in a
position to take care of show visitors
with hotel accommodations.
This hotel bureau, it is. believed,
will be OF vast assistance to visitors.
Heretofore many visitors to the auto
show have found it difficult to OBJ
tain quarters during their visit. But
the hotels this year are cooperating
with the auto men in every possible
manner. They are preparing lists OF
rooms which will be turned into the
bureau. With the aid of this bureau
and the fact that several new hotels
have been erected during the last year
ii is believed the hotels will be able

crowds that are expected to attend

Rosengren On Secrets of
Good STORAGE Batteries

Elmer Rosengren Of the Nebraska
Storage Battery company says: "A
starting battery does work which has
never been required Of battery be-
fore. A little battery Of three cells
IS often called upon to deliver for a
few moments an amount OF current
equal to two horsepower, or enough
to propel heavy electric vehicle at
normal speed, Therefore, a starting
battery must be made OF special mate
rails or it will last but short time
yet it cannot be too heavy or too
expensive. A storage battery, like
most apparatus, is compromise be-
tween cost, weight and life. II the
plates were made of platinum the bat
terry would be light and last indef-
nitely, but the cost would be prohibi-
tive. The unusual service qualities
Of Willard batteries are due to the
