ENGINEERS
TO MEET IN MICHIGAN
Passenger Car of Future, Farm
Tractor and Implements Topics
for June Meeting.

Plans are rapidly being completed
for holding the summer meeting of
the Society of Automotive Engineers
at Ottawa Beach, Mich, June % to 70
The meeting promises to be the best
attended and most interesting In the
history of the society. Reservations
for the meeting are being received In
large numbers at the offices OF the
society, 20 West 39th street. New
York city. and it is expected that all
available facilities at the summer re-
sort chosen for the meeting will be
sold out prior to the opening date.
Ottawa Beach Accessible Point.
Ottawa Beach is readily accessible
from all automotive centers and is so
located as to require minimum
amount of travelling for a large per-
centage of the membership. 1t is sep
arate from other points of attraction
and thus an ideal place for the men,
bers to assemble in much the same
way as they did in the very success
full meetings held in the past on
board ship on the great lakes. Many
favored a lake trip this year. but the
rapid growth of the society in re-
cent years makes it impossible to Sc
cure any steamer affording sufficient
accommodations for all who desire to
attend.
1t is planned to have the meeting
include papers on all important au-
tomotive subjects of the day, which
are of sufficient general interest to
warrant their presentation at a meet
ing of the society. One subject which
is to be discussed at length is the
passenger car of the future. Many
prominent engineers will contribute
to this discussion, including one or
more British engineers who will at
tend the meeting. There will be a
paper dealing with the relation of
farm tractors to their Implements
Efforts are being made to secure a
paper by prominent authority on
factory production methods.

You Will Praise the Essex
Just AS Others Praise 1t
The Light Weight Enduring Car Which
Hundreds of Thousands Nov Acclaim

You will see why owners are so proud.
The Essex does not have cheap car appear
ance.
The Ride, Though, Will Be a
Revelation
The more you know of other cars, the more
you will appreciate the Essex. We have
never made a direct statement concerning
Essex performance. But any one who has
ridden in an Essex will tell you interesting
things about its acceleration, speed and
power. The Essex capably speaks for itself
Riding comfort is quality that cannot be
adequately explained. A claim for comfort
is made for every car. But what cannot be
definitely described can be experienced in a
ride in the Essex at any speed over cobble-
stones, rutty and rough roads and car tracks.
The Essex Stays New
and Rigid
What the Essex proves when you ride in
It is what may be expected of it throughout
long, hard service. It is built to retain its
new-like appearance. It will withstand hard
service and long remain free from squeaks
and rattles.
Hundreds of thousands already know the
Essex and speak of it in the most enthusi-
astic manner. Join their numbers. Let us
show you qualities in the Essex that no other
car possesses.

No Claims Are Made Except Is the
Essex Alone Proves Itself

The first thing you will meet when you
call at our salesroom is an invitation to ride.
The salesman will not at first attempt to de-
scribe the car to you. He will send you out
30 you can see what the Essex can do. Of
course, you will note its beauty and the care
with which every detail in finish and appoint
ment is handled.

Those who are most familiar with the bet
ter.quality lightweight cars are the most en-
thusiastic admirers of the Essex.
They know the advantages in low first cost
and economy of operation Of cars of that
type And they also know their limitations
in performance. They have not expected
light cars to have the same riding comfort,
or long endurance, or the range Of perform
ance of larger and more costly cars.
So when they have seen that the Essex
possesses equal advantages in economy with
their own lightweight cars and is at the
same time as rich in finish and detail appoint
nnent, has the enduring qualities of cars cost
Ing twice as much as the Essex and rides as
easily as the finest and most expensive cars,
and equals the performance on hills, accel-
crates and holds its own at speed with high
powered and costly automobiles, they speak
their admiration for the Essex.

Archduke Joseph Denies
Letter From ex-Emperor
By Associated Press.

Budapest, Saturday, Aug. 16.-
Archduke Joseph, head of the Hun
garian state, denied to-day that he
had received a letter from former
Emperor Charles as charged in dis
patches from Budapest to2 Berlin
newspapers. The letter. it is al
legged, ordered the archduke to take
over the power in Hungary and
thanked him for his services to the
Hapsburg dynasty.
The letter, as published in Ber-
lin, according to those familiar with
Hapsburg court documents, bears
the stamp of forgery.
1t was pointed out to-day on be-
half of Archduke Joseph, that the
archduke could not exercise the
powers of a sovereign but could act
only as regent for the interests OF
the former Emperor and his eldest
son. According to the law of sue
cession in Austria Hungary, it is
said, no archduke can ascend the
throne while male descendant of q
king is alive or even if the king
has been banished.

WHEN CARNEGIE FAILED
TO BUILD A RAILROAD
South Penns Only Monument Is Battered Old Piers Near
Reading Bridge Big Sums Invested in the Project

George B. Roberts and Frank
Thomson, president and vice-presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania, aboard
his yacht, and then sailed away to
a point where the blueness of the
atmosphere would not enganEcr
Gotham. Mr.. Morgan talked
Dutch" to the railroad men and
the railroad opponents told each
other what they thought of their
rivals and after all of these pleas
antries it was finally agreed that the
road now known as the West Shore
should be turned over to the Van
derbilts by the Pennsylvania, and
that the Vanderbilts, Mr.. Carnegie
and the others should in turn place
the South Pennsylvania, not in the
hands of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, for that would be di-
rect violation of the laws of the
great Commonwealth of Pennsylva-
MIA, for which the railroad mag
mates had very much respect.
No, that would not do, so it was
agreed to chase the devil around
the stump and turn the South
Pennsylvania over to the Pennsyi-
vania Company, subsidiary of The
Pennsylvania Railroad, which II
was thought could not be consider
ed to be a rival and competing Lille
and, therefore, the transactio"
would be within the law"
1T happened that a gentleman
named Cassidy was the Attorney
General of Pennsylvania at that
time and Mr.. Cassidy had just
enough Irish blood in his veins to
love a fight. So he promptly insti-
tuted proceedings and obtained du
Injunction against the transfer of
the South Pennsylvania to the Penn
sylvania Railroad or to one of its
handmaidens. And it goes without
saying that the Irishman won.
But little matter like an injunc-
ton did not materially interrupt the
deal. Mr.. Morgan obligingly came
forward to act as a trustee and he
put the remains of the South Penn
sylvania in his inside vest pocket,
from which they were never eX"
tricated.
So the South Penn" as it was
called for short, never even became
a streak of rust. 1t was simply 4
strip of right of way and some
masonry and so it remains to-day.
Robert H. Sayre was it's president.
At one time during a period when
the project hung fire, Mr.. Garrett,
of the Baltimore and Ohio, tried 20
break into the game, promising to
take the South Pennsylvania INTO
Pittsburgh over the B. and O., and
to give a traffic contract, but that
fell through.
Having things to itself the Penn
sylvania proceeded to make great
trunk line between New York and
Pittsburgh, and it has expended
many millions of dollars in i'm
provements, in double-tracking, IN
bridges and tunnels until the road
to-day is of more than double its
capacity in 1885, when the South
Penn" project was at its height.

There is one chapter in the life
has not been referred to in the long
obituary notices published last week
and which, if recalled, will be re-
membered by the older men Of
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and New
York, but will be new to all of the
younger generation. This relates to
his venture with the South PennsyI-
vania Railroad.
In his early years Mr.. Carnegie
had been an employe of the Penn
sylNania Railroad and a close friend
OF Its chief officers. When he be-
came a great steel maker he had
n Inherent relation with the big
transportation company, being an
extensive receiver and shipper of
freight AS a large shipper he did
not receive from the PENNSYLVANIA
the accommodation to which nc
deemed he was entitled and other
Plttsburgh men had grievances. SO,
Mr' carnegie had his quarrel with
the big men of the Pennsylvania.
Gossip used to have it that he did
not OBTAIN rebates equal to his de-
mands, but that may have been
true or false. Rebates, for which
the polite name was "overcharges."
were common in those days and
considered to be a part of any big
business. 1t took an Interstate Com
merce Commission to break up tho
practice in later years on tic
ground that it was discrimination
against unfaVored shippers.
CarncSic's Friends
But aside from this there was
great restlessnesS in Pittsburgh be-
cause OF the tight grasp which the
pennsylvania then had upon that
project which was forever to free
the citizens of PENNSYLVANIA from
the clutches of the exacting Penn
sYlvania Railroad.
lhe lst of subscribers included
some of Mr.. Carengie's close Pitts
burEh friends, such as Oliver.
Frick and Phipps and Jones. II
embraced some of the Standard on
crowd numbering Payne and Whit
ney and stephen B. Elkins, later
a senator from West Virginia and
York.
Thirty-eight per cent. of the
Sl5.oOO.OOO subscribed was called in
and expended on the South Penn
SyIVan'a projects. Rights of way
were bought, piers. abutments AMI
bridges built, but no track was ever
laid.
To counter this move on the part
OF the Nanderbilts, the Pennsylva
MIA, of which George r. Robert,
was then at the head. began the
construction of a railroad on the
west bank of the Hudson to COM
peto with the New York Central.

HOUSE TO ACT
ON RAILROAD AND
FOOD PROBLEMS
Party Leaders Predict Passing
of Daylight Over Presi-
dents Veto

Washington, Aug. 1S.-In the next
ten days the attitude of the House
will be clearly expressed on the leg
islation recommended by President
Wilson in his high cost of living
message and upon the railroad prob
lem which is allied indirectly with
the, economic situation. After the
House disposes of the Presidents
veto message on the repeal of the
daylight saving law, on Tuesday
with a probability, according to lead
ers of both parties nf overriding the
veto, the preparator" food lsia-
ton will be brought before that body.
In the opinion of Representative
f. W. Mondell, Republican leader
the House Committee on Agriculture
will report the amended food regula-
ton bill to include provisions i'm
posing a fine of $1,000 on prohteers
and making wearing apparel subject
to the same act. He said that the
committee would not extend the act
beyond the war period and that in
its amended form it would he opera
tive only until peace is formally pro-
claimed.
Sentiment in the House and in the
Senate is against extending the food

President Wilson. into peace times
and even in the Senate strong oppo-

Oppose Presidents suggestions
1t is becoming fast apparent that
Republicans. with many Democrats
are opposed to most Of the sugges-
tions outlined in the Presidents mes
sage. In discussing the food situa-
tion and the high price level re-
sponsible leaders says that the most
effective remedy against mounting
prices and strike troubles is the rati-
fication of the Peace Treaty and
return to normal trade conditions
with the laws of supply and demand
perating, rather than the carrying
VI the war regulations into the peace
period. Such n program, they say,
merely sets up an artificial condi-
ton, which postpones the natural
serious situation which is certain to
develop when the war regulations
cease. and when trade and industry
struggle to regain peace footing.
1t is the informal opinion of Lead
er Mondell that the storage situa-
tion will be dealt with in a sane way.
that the Administration will be
given sufficient money to conduct in
testiGations and that these Will be
he sum total of remedial acts by
adjustment. He is positive that the
House will pass the bill to include
wearing apparel in the food regula-
tion act for the peace period, and
thinks that the Senate will be forced
by public sentiment to withdraw it's
present objections to the amended
bill.
