[. H. WILSON MAY bE MAN WANTED UNDER
 NAME W. [. WRIGHT

There is evidence that Ernest H. Wilson, the man arrested on the com plaint of James l.. Cant of Glendale on charge of obtaining money by fraudulent representation, had oper- ated in this state under the name of w. E. Wright! That development grew out of the suspicion of A. E. Rowlands of Globe. MT. Rowlands, having read in The Republican of Wilson's opera tions, recognized them as similar to those of man he had known at Globe as Wright.
 He called yesterday to see if he could identify Wilson. Wright had q partner at Globe, and it turned out that the business of Rowlands was con- ducted by the partner, though a check which Rowlands had given them for some worthless mining stock had been endorsed by both of them. The hand writing in the name of Wright was so like that of Wilson that Justice Wheel CT had Wilson brought from the jail to his office for a penmanship test,
 The justice game him several names to write. In the first there was a strong resemblance to the penmanship of the endorsement. The others were crude attempts at disguise. Then the justice asked Wilson to write the name of Wright" Wilson wrote it Right"
 Now Wilson, said the justice, you know better than that; that is not the way to spell the name of Wright Will son then wrote Wright" In this name the similarity of the writing came out again. Wilson at this point said that If the justice wanted any more infor- nation, he would have to see his at torney.
 
 You should have thought of that before you began making these exhi- bitions of your penmanship," said the justice, for this will be used against you."

USER GAR PARADE AND SHOW AT PARK
 |S HUGE SUCCESS

Amid the blare of the Celery Wig band thc honking of horns and the screech of klaXons, the Celery Wig | sed Car parade passed into history last night. A crowd that filled the walks to the curb turned out to witness the event. Every used car in the pa rade was filled with people who pre- Viously had procured tickets for the ride to the park and admission to the show at the big grove.
 The parade formed in front of the old Center school building and started promptly at 8 o'clock. Led by the big, new Adams hotel bus, on the upper deck of which the Celery Wig band held forth, the parade, of some so or more used cars, ranging from the lordly Packard to the humble Ford and Sax on, travelled south on Center street to Adams, then west to Third avenue, then to Washington street and east on hat street to Fourth street, turning east from Fourth to Van Buren and the Tempe road to Celery Wig park.
 The parade extended for four blocks. and was joined by more cars as the parade passed each street. By the time the head of the line reached Celery Wig park, there were nearly 100 cars in the parade.
 Arriving at the park, the used cars were arranged in lines for the inspec- lion Of the large crowd that made the IT'D to the park and the big used car show. The entire affair was huge success and many sales of used cars were made as a result of the uniule show.
 The cars that were in the parade of last night will be placed on sale in an openair show on the First avenue side of the Center school ground today and Saturday. both afternoon and night.

BREWERS LOANED
 FERGUSON MONEY
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

AUSTIN. Texas, Aug. 1.-Testimony which is believed to have thrown light on the mystery surrounding the $156,- 900 loan to James E. Ferguson, former governor, and which figured largely in his impeachment trial last fall was given in federal court here today by l.. A. Adoue, Galveston brewer testifying in the cases of Henning Bruhn, presi- dent and Charles Grossman, treasurer, respectively of the Lone Star brewing association of San Antonio, under fed eral indictment for alleged falsifying of income tax returns, when he told of three notes for s50,000 each which Fer guson gave brewing interests of the state.
 The notes were made payable to Ferguson, indorsed in blank, were to bear five D CT cent interest. payable on maturity and were not secured, Adoue testified.
 Former Governor Ferguson at his impeachment trial and during his re- cent campaign for renomination at the democratic state primary consistently refused to tell the source of the loan, maintaining that 1t was a personal matter. The testimony developed that $25000 of the s150,000 was loaned by Bruhn and s50,000 by Otto Wahrmund. president of the San Antonio brewing association. It was not brought out definitely who furnished the remaining s75 900 other than it came from Texas brewing interests.
 The government rested its case after Adoue finished testifying.
 Adoue denied that any portion of the loan was to be used to influence legis- lation. Ferguson, he said, was finan- cially involved and the brewery inter- ests decided to help him.
 Ferguson, he said. requested that the source of the loan be kept secret and the brewers agreed mot to tell about it unless necessary"
 F'erguson's platform was to let liquor legislation alone and that is what tte brewers wanted. Adoue testified.

LYNN, Mass. Aug. 1.-The strike of nearly ten thousand employees of the two local plants of the General Flee tric company. was ended tonight by vote of the strikers. At a mass meet ing, they decided to return to work to- morrow and await adjustment of their wage demands by the federal war labor board.
 Assurance that the war labor board would act immediately was brought from Washington by International Or ganizer Charles D. Keavney of the Electrical Workers Union. When the announcement was made at the meet ing there were cheers for President Wilson, the war labor board and the strike leaders.
 The strike began three weeks ago. In addition to a heavy loss in wages, it has involved great curtailment of production of important war supplies.

WASHINGTON, Aug. In approv- ing today $5,500.000 bond issue for extension of a municipal water power project at Seattle, the capital issues committee laid down the principle that competing municipal and private pub lie utilities mus. combine their facili- ties to a great extent before the com mittee will authorize issuance of new capital for extensions.
 The Seattle issue was sanctioned on condition that connecting lines be built between the municipal and priv ate plants, so that all electric power in the locality be made available for the fullest utilization.
 This action will afford guidance for a number of other communities.

BEGIN RECRUITING
 UNSK|[[ED LABOR
 FUR WAR PURPOSES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Allotments nished by the various states to war in- dustries during the next two months under the system of government re- cruiting put into operation today under the United States employment services were announced tonight by the depart ment of labor. By assigning quotas of unskilled laborers to be furnished in each state, the employment service took the first step in meeting the shortage of common labor estimated by reports received today as approx mating 500,000.
 The announcement of the state quotas followed conference here to- day of representatives of a dozen war industries with officials of the depart ment of labor. The estimated labor needs of each of the industries was submitted by the representatives and these estimates will be used in appor- tioning the first quotas.
 Arzona's Quota 1850
 Among the state quotas announced are the following: Arizona 1850: Cali fornia 21,555; Colorado 5,175; Kansas 5,175; New Mexico 5S5; Texas 7.290.
 The quotas, it was said, are the net requirements OL tHe NdlfOuS wal iliuuS- tries and do not make allowance for extra needs or for labor turnover. Complete returns of the labor needs are expected by August 15 and when the estimates made at that time are tabulated a supplemental list of quotas will be issued. State directors of the employment service were instructed today to begin immediately the appor- tioning of the state quotas among the local districts.
 In the industrial states the quotas announced tonight average about five per cent of the estimated number of men not in military service or already engaged in war work, agriculture, min- ing or transportation. In western and southern agricultural states. the aver age percentage is somewhat higher as allowance has been made for thrilled labor needs.

STUDEBAKER CAR
GREETS D. c. MAN
IN FRENCH PORT

A little group OF American soldiers
sitting in the formerly luxurious
smoking salon of a giant German
liner, commandeered by the Govern
ment to transport our troops overseas,
were calmly discussing topics of
everyday interest on the eve OF their
landing. With danger at every hand,
and not knowing at what moment a
stealthy undersea pirate would stink
up within striking distance and send
home the deadly tGrpedo. these fell
lows smoked and IaGghingly specu-
lated on the new life that was before
them "Over there"
One Sammy. a former business man
OF Washington. j. g, and a motoring
enthusiast, expressed his regret at
not being able to bring along his car
This chance remark turned the con-
versation into a general discussion Of
motor cars, and, after each had re-
lated somo personal experience, or
mentioned the likable features Of his
favorite roadster or touring car, the
Washington man asked his bunkIes II
they expected to find a familiar
American nameplate on the cars in
France.
Without a dissenting voice, Il was
agreed that probably the very nrst
automobile to greet them "over there"
would be the well-known fivver And,
as We who live on this side of the At
lantic have reason to know, that was
a pretty safe guess. That the bow
were disappointed. however, is evi-
dent after reading from this letter OF
the Washingto soldier to Col. W. C.
Long, distributor Of Studebaker cars
in the Capital city, the following:
Coming over on the ship all of
ve fellows were guessing that the
first car we would see would be a
Ford-and when we got here the first
one we saw was a Studebaker 6

AUTOSOF COUNTRY
LARGELY USED FOR
BUSINESS NEEDS

From my personal observation and
talks / have had with automobile
owners from all parts o fthe country
and with other manufacturers, l be
lieVe i am perfectly justified in say.
ing that so per cent OF the. automO'
biles in America are used strictly for
business purposes three-fourths of the
time" said d. C. Durland, president OF
the Mitchell Motors Company, Inc, OF
Racine, Wis.
Mind that ! say strictly business
purposeE and that II exactly what I
mean. Since our country has been
drawn into the war hundreds Of thou
sands Of men in all walks OF life have
been called from their daily tasks to
do their part in the great struggle to
preserve democracy. With the de
parture OF these men business did not
slow down, II simply could not. In
fact, business Is going ahead with
greater strides than ever before.
Everybody is busy, and every man
who wants TO can enjoy real prosper
ity now.
But. aside from these strictly bust
ness purposes, think Of the import
auce of the automobile in what I
might term mi-busiRess' purposes.
For instance. recall for moment
the business man or woman Of ten.
yes. even five, years ago. At the end
Of the week, tired, worn, and weary

MOTOR TRUCKS ARE
HELPING SAMMIES
BUILD WAR ROADS

When the history OF this war has
been written" says d. o. skinner, In
ternational Motor Company, "1t will
be more fully realized what q vital
part good roads have played in the
great struggle. At the start, motor
trucks lesped to the front as the mod
ern pacemaker OF flexible transporta-
tion. and ever-increasine war needs
have demanded new roads and better
roads as most necessary for the prop
er backing up of fighting forces.
Motor trucks by the thousands will
contribute an enormous advantage
to United States road engineers en-
gagged in new construction back OF our
lines. 1t is estimated that 200 miles
OF highways will be built in 1918 by
American road engineers in the rear
OF the firing line in France To the
special road building battalions is
delegated the important task OF keep
ly open, and Mack trucks working in
conjunction with modern American
road machinery will help to build new
strategic lines and keep communicate
ing roads in constant repair.
Although France 10 particularly
we'll endowed with good roads, it Is
often necessary for military reasons
to construct many new lines. An esti-
mate places the present mileage OF
French roads at one mile of road
for each one and one-half square
miles OF ground surface. The tire
mendous task OF keeping these roads
in perfect condition and building new
ones at the same time, can well be
imagined when IL is realized that so
far as wear and tear are concerned
war traffic Is ten times as great as
that on Fifth avenue, New York
'Of course the pressing object Of
American road construction IL to pro-
vide for the immediate needs OF our
forces. but the work carries with II
both utilitarian and historic value.
When Caesars legions poured through
Gaul and into Britain and returned to
Rome again. they left in their wake
military roads so carefully construct
ed that many sections remain today
as permanent monuments of their
presence. American system and mod
ern methods likewise promise to con-
tribute many enduring benefits to
France"
