CARE OF ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM NECESSARY
TO INSURE SERVICE
Inspection Of Wiring
Important To Proper
Upkeep.

The average car oWnef usually figh.s
shy Of the electrical system. This de-
serves attention at this season as well
as any other part of the car and a few
simple precautions now will so a long
way toward eliminating electrical
troubles in the summer months.
The entire electrical system should
be gone Overcome of the most import
ant things demanding inspection being
the wiring, 1t often happens that the
insulation becomes worn or enared or
worn through contact with other parts
of the car. 1t is therefore important
to look over the wiring very carefully.
Where there is any doubt of the insul-
alton being sufficient, new wiring
should be used. This eliminates the
possibility Of there being an accidental
ground or short circuit rendering a part
or the entire system imperative.
Keep Terminals Clean.
All terminal connections should be
gone over to determine whether they
are clean and tight, This is especially
true of the terminals on the storage
battery and at the noint where the bat
terry is grounded to the frame of the
car if it is a single wire system. The
connections between the battery and the
starting motor should be clean and free
of cOrrosion. If these connections are
not tight 6nd clean, improper perform
aHe of the starting motor is the result.
Apply a small amount Of vaseline to
the battery terminals for protection of
the metal from the action Of the acid
fumes and prevention of eorrosion. 1t
is well to have the battery inspected by
Il battery specialist and any necessary
repairs taken care Of.
Distributor and relay contact points
should be examined to see whether they
are pitted Or burned. If so they should
be smoothcd down with a fine platinum
file and adjusted to the proper gap as
shown in the illustration book. 1t is
essential that contact points meet
squarely. If this is not done burning
and pitting will result,
Brushes Are Vital.
The generator and starting motor
c0mmutator should be examined for un-
due wear and high mica. 1t may be
necessary in order to insure good per-
Torrance that the commutator be turn
ed down in a lathe and the mict under
cut.
The brushes should be properly seat
cd by careful sanding. This is espee-
tally necessary when the eommutator is
turned down. 1t is desirable to have
at least three-quartcrs OF the brush
face bearing on the eommutator. This
can be determined by examination Of
the glazed area on the brush after run
ming q short time.
Should your starter drive be Of the
Bendix type the threaded shaft and PIN
ion should be cleaned. Any grease that
has hardened during the cold weather
should be removed.
Lamps should be examined and dina or
burned lamps replaced.
All connections Of the lightinf and IL.
milton switch should be inspected. III
should be noted whether the terminals
are touching or nearly so and if any
wires are rubbing. thus entailing the
possibility Of a short circuit Or ground.

The American naval transport Poca-

sailed yesterday for Rotterdam with
more than 1000 Germans. chiefly SAIL
ors. who have been interned for the
last two years in American encamp-
ments or forts. principally in Georgia.
Before they were transferred from the
cars that brought them to Hoboken to
the transport, they amused themselves
by writing humorous sentiments with
chalk in English on the sides of the cars,
reaching out of the windows to do so.
Among the inscriptions were mo more

iessly insane Germans homeward bound.
was commander of a German submarine
that was destroyed. according to his
own story. Most of the others have
the impression that Germany won the
war. which some sane Germans appear
to share. One of the men who has
friends in Hoboken escaped at mid
night Wednesday and had a good time
with them. He came back to the gate
yesterday morning and the guards
pushed him away, telling him he could
not get in without a pass He tried to
rush the guards and they held him
until they could get an interpreter TO
tell his story. Then they hustled him in.
With the men are 115 women. some
of them wives OF the deported, who are
voluntarily accompanying them.

ALL KEYS ARE HELD UP
District Attorney Sends Detec-
tives to Obtain Right of
Entry.

District Attorney Swami announced yes
terday he will press for action in an apart
ment house row at S3S West End avenue.
In which William F. Helde, a candy manu-
facturer, is the complainant Mr.. Heide
returned with his family from the coun-
try several days ago and found the
apartment in process Of redecoration
without ibis eorders. according to Mr..
Swami. When he attempted to get in he
was informed that the apartment was
to be rented October 1 to Philip Katz,
cloak and suit manufacturer. and that
the decorators were fixing the place up
for the new tenant.
Mr.. Heide's lease held until October l,
and on Mr.. Swans advice court action
was sought against the superintendent
Of the building, Elson Friese. The case
was heard before Magistrate Mcouade.
Friese was freed on charge OF unlaW-
full entry, but was directed to turn the
keys over to Mr.. Heide. said Mr.. Swami.
Later when the keys did not appear Mr..
Swami assigned Detective John Cunlin
and Process Server Markey to go UP and
get them.
The case is now In the hands Of AL
fred j. Talley, Assistant District Attor-
ney. He said when the officers went to
demand the keys Wednesday night they
were denied admission and finally got
in by a rear stairway. While they were
getting to the fourth floor Katz came
in with the renting agent. Frederick
Zittel. and It is alleged tried to eject
the officers, using threats of violence.

friend of Tim Sullivan and to be pos
sessed Of considerable personal battling
experience. The officers prevailed with
out physical violence. however.
The chief bit of information CLEANED
by the officers. according to Mr.. Talley,
was that the keys to the Heide apart
ment had actually been in the hands OF
Superintendent Friese during the sever
al days of the argument and that
Friese had refused to give them up on
Zitters instructions.
Mr.. Talley then got busy and called
in KATE and Friese on subpoena. After
the conference he said both men ad-
mitted trying to keep the Heides out
of the apartment in order to be sure of
it's being vacated October /. Katz was
instructed by Mr.. Talley to see that Mr..
Heide was given immediate possession
Of the keys.
Mr.. Talley stated that he would bring
action against Katz for violation of the
penal law in forcing entrance to the
apartment, and that charges will also
be brought against Zittei and Friese.
Mr.. Heide, although he Is at last in
possession of his apartment is eager to
prosecute.
The chief feature OF the ARRANGEMENT
between Katz and Zittel, as Mr.. Talley
gathered it, was that in consideration
of an increased rental of $500 annually
Zittel was to permit Katz to redecorate
in time for moving day. Katz, he
charges, agreed to take all RESPONSE
bility for whatever legal action might
result at the instigation of Mr.. Heide.
