TINS AN INTERESTING CALEND tR

The Con mental Fire Insurance
Company Of New YORK has issued a
calendar. IN colors. reproduced from an
OF painting. depicting The First
Automobile Tho text on the Fronts
piece says:
THE application OF steam TO the
service Of man owes much TO the
genius of the American inventor
Oliver Evans. born 1855. in Delaware.
He suggested steam as a motive pow
or for land vehicles, as early as 1913.
and for boats in 177S Evans made
valuable suggestions TO John Fitch,
IN steamboat construction, and con
ceded 10 him the accomplishment OF
steamboat propulsion on water.
I'm 1904, he constructed at Phila-
delphia the first carriage in the world
to run by steam on land and gave
II the name Of 'Orukter Amphiboles.
which was the precursor OF our
modern locomotive and motor car.
He describes it as a machine for
cleaning docks, a heavy mud flat
with a steam engine Of five horse
power He first put wheels to il and
propelled It a mile and half on
land and then into the Schuyllkili. A
paddle wheel was fixed at the stern
and IL was propelled down the Schuyl.
kill and up the Delaware for sixteen
miles. passing vessels under full sail
Before the curious machine was
taken to the river, Evans exhibited IL
upon the road encircling Central
Square, the present site OF Philadel-
phia's City Hall. then occupied by the

Sanford Helps Relieve Car
Shortage In South.

many mills are running only PAL

necessary to clio Sc down entirely
The trouble has been a lack 0
cars in which to ship lumber
Ocean shipping has been SO baI
" crippled by the war situation
that all freight warehouses at ths
great eastern seapOrts are full
and thousands of railroad cars
are standing loaded with freights
destined for foreign markets
hence southern railroads can't
supply the necessary cars for the
lumber trade. Also it is said
that the larger railroads in GER
tain sections OF the country have
not been fair to the smaller roads
and have held for their own use
cars which should have been re-
turned to much smaller roads.
1t seems that the Interstate
Commerce Commission has been
pOwerless to remedy this unequal
distribution of cars and to remedy
this defect law has been passed
by Congress confering proper
authority in the Interstate Com

gressive Police Jury President,
Mr.. F, l.. Sanford, is due mora

crowned with success; the law
was passed and signed by Presl.

The South is already feeling
the effects OF this legislation by a

this change was concurred in by

FROM
CHICAGO OUTW|TS
TWO H0LOUP MEN
S. C. Levy "SmeIIs Bullets" as
Gun is Stuck to Throat.
Saves Watch.

s. C.. Levy, a tenderfoot from Chi
cago. not only outwitted two holdups
at IL O'Clock last evening. but by bit
of brilliant acting made them believe
that a gold watch valued at $40 was
one of the dollar variety. They took
his word for it, relieved him of s5 and
told him that they were high class"
and wanted the good stuff only"
Mr.. Levy is the district organizer of
the firm of Sperry & Hutchinson of
trading stamp fame He arrived in
Butte a few days before Christmas for
the first time.
He was going home and was at the
corner of Park and Alabama streets
when two men stepped up to Linn and
ordered him to hold up his hands.
They enforced their demands with a
revolver. which they pressed against
his throat.
As they searched him they came to
the watch pocket in his trousers. A
cheap leather fob was the only evil
dence of the watch. As one of the
holdups reached for the fob, Levy
said:
III you fellows want that Ingersoll
you can have it,
mo, we don't want that; we're high
class and want the good stuff only"
they replied.
"Just the same when they stuck that
gun In my throat could smell the bull
let's" Mr.. Levy said. He did not re-
port the holdup to the police and Sc
cured only a meager description of the
two men.
Mr. va,x, considers hirnself fortuna fe
in another way also. He expected his
expense check to arrive yesterday and
is glad now that it did not as he be-
lieves that he would have lost most
of it also.

WAR IN GERMANY
Members of Crew of Captured

GERMANY ACTS ON THEORY
OF ARMED MERCHANTMEN
Relations Between Washington
and Berlin May Again Be-
come Critical.

Washington, Jan. 20.-The Ger
man admiralty statement that the
neutral subjects in the crews of
vessels captured by the German
raider in the south Atlantic have
been removed as prisoners of war
is causing much uneasiness in Of
fetal circles. The whole question
turns on whether an armed mer-
chant ship is a war vessel. and
the question between this coun-
try and Germany is still un-
bridged.
OF course. Americans on such ships
could be considered as prisoners OF
war only If the vessels were consid-
cred as war vessels.
No indication has been received that
any of the vessels sunk by the raider
we're other than defensively armed.
The state department has held
throughout that vessel cannot be
classed as a warship unless it is under
naval orders, flies the naval flag and
is manned by naval crews.
The German admiralty statement
made just at this time when the armed
ship Issue between the two countries
is becoming more complicated was
taken to foreshadow more pro-
nounced attitude as to the question or
Germany's part.
