USTUs L|MOUSETTE
FOR FORD CARS To
Be MARKETED HERE

J. G. Foster, factory representative
Detroit, Mich. manufacturers of the
Ustus Limousette for F'ords, arrived In
Phoenix yesterday n the interests of
his company. It is Mr.. Fosters inten-
ton while here to push the placing of
the Limousette on the streets of
Phoenix and Arizona
The purpose of the Ustus Limousette
is to protect the car owner from the
summers dust and showers and from
inclement weather. 1t can be. fitted to
any Ford body without alteration 20
either the top or body.
In addition to being easy to install,
the Ustus Limousette actually i'm
proves the appearance of the car. 1t
serves to give closed car convenience
as well as comfort. 1t combines sim
plicity and durability and has no in
tricate mechanical devices to get out
of order.
The initial installation, according to
Mr.. Foster, takes less than two hours,
and it is not necessary to alter or
mutilate the body or top. After at
tachment, it becomes a permanent
part of the car, and adjustments for
weather conditions, ventilation or
exit are accomplished by the side
pieces being raised or lowered on
spring rollers. The Limousette is
easily adjustable for all kinds of
weather or seasons. In the summer it
is just as easy to make an open car
as it Is to close it in the winter.
According to Mr.. Foster. there are
ten reasons why a Limousette should
be used. 1t improves the appearance
of a car, it iss light in weight, it gives
clear vision front and sides, permits
easy ard quick entrance and exit, gives
closed car comfort in winter, instantly
convertible into an open car, elm
mates inconvenience of awkward side
curtains in summer, it wears well, no
rafting or vibration, and there is no
need for alteration of standard Ford
| equipment used.

Where Charter Transfer
Provisions Are Violated

At the hearing yesterday before Pub

the 2-cent transwer order, granted at
the request of the city. Corporation
Counsel Burr asked that the Commits
sion direct the New York Railways
Company to issue refund slips to all
passengers paying for transfers, so
hat, should the courts hold the order
Illegal, the money could be returned.
Nr. Burr also requested the company
be ordered to keep all moneys re-
eeived from transfers in 8 separate
account.
This was opposed by Henry L. Slim
son, counsel for Job E. Hedges, re-
ceiver for the road, who maintained
the order was perfectly legal, and that
!. was necessary to alleviate the COM
pany's dire financial situation
Neither side expected ruling on
the application until the rehearing is
closed, so Mr. Burr next asked that

anime the reports and schedules VIII ch

ais Of the traction properties. and also

Mr.. Stimson answered by saying that
these records were placed in the hands

hey might be examined by counsel

The session was given up almost
entirely TO argument, but one witness
being called by the city. He was
Victor Mclaughlin, an examiner Of the

to show by the witness that, in addition
70 the fourteen points at which free
transfers are still given, there are
,hirty-six other places where the green
cars intersect and which are named in

from 4-l0 per cent TO 10 60 per cent.
The last three years, he said, showed
deficits, and then the report said:
I'm view of the large increase OF

there will be still larger net profit
in May, and in view of the large earn

s Jefefrson City. No, June "a
Gov. Gardner. IN an. effort to speed
up the tifiSation syof national suf-
frage for women. today announced
that he would call an extraordinary
session ot the Missouri Legislature
70 convene July to vote on the
Federal suffrage amendment.
The Governor, in a formal state
ment, declared that Missouri must
take the lead in this long-deferred
,justi<e to the women of the State and
sn4tioh." The Legislatures. of ILL.,
nois, Michigan and Wisconsin al
ready have ratified the suffrage
amendment.
Announcement by the Governor
that he would. call the special session
was sudden, and came as distinct
surprise in official circles. When ap-
preached week ago on the PROPOSE
ton Of calling an extra session, the
Governor pointed out the big ex-
pense Of holding it and declared that
the recent Legislatures had cost the
State $s5o,ooo.
The Governor in his statement de-
clared that under the State Constitu-
tion it will require perhaps three

days in which Is complete the ratifi-
cation of the suffrage amendment,
and that he hopes it will be done by
July 4, Independence Day.
The Governor said today that he
had not sought any expression from
the other members to learn If they
were willing to serve in. an extra
session without pay.
NJ The cost Of Today session would
be approximately Sal, 1000, and very
few persons in official circles believe
the Legislature will complete the
work in shorter period.
While only the suffrage question
would be before the Legislature, it is
doubtful if the, body will ratify the
amendment by July 4, as the Cover
nor hopes.
Senator Won Mayes of Pemiscot
County, 2 member of the Revision
Committee, and Representative D. E.
killam OF Lincoln County were in the
Governors office when the an
nouncement was made.
A few minutes before, Killam had
told The Republic correspondent that
he hoped the special session would
not be considered by the Governor.
Killam favors suffrage and support
ed the measure before the House.
II hope they get off this stuff Of a
