While attention has been focused on

Brown, the wealthy young man found
murdered in his automobile on a
lonely highway three miles from
Mount Clemens, to-day's developments

and led Investigators to center their

the position of the body when found.
is the declaration Of several physi-
clans upon being told of the position
in which it rested. The body was
tipped to the right, the right arm
hanging down at the side and the left
through the spokes Of the steering
wheel, apparently indicating that It
had slipped from the wheel rim when
death came.
The physicians say that wounds

tary preparedness should be kept in
mind in development Of commercial

Eighty-four individual car manufac-
turers had exhibits at the Palace, while
moro than 800 commercial cars, ranging
from q giant fifteen-ton truck to a
small light delivery wagon, and devices
for quick changing passenger car into
. commercial car, were drawn up In
long ranks on the Bronx armory door.
Cars to Match Purses
Every mans purse was catered to in
the shiny models presented, and the
little spick and span two-seater at
$716 drew quite as much attention as
the dignified touring car at $11 900.
According to an expert the cars, did
not exhibit tendencies toward refine
ments as in former years, but showed
the war influence plainly in the i'm
provement in efficiency and endurance.
What changes were made were not i'm
mediately visible, but. were the kind
that would prove themselves on every
mile the car was driven. Streamlines
were more pronounced and more gen.
orally used, and the cars without ex-
ception got away from frills and fads,
to higher standard than ever before.

 SAN FRANCISCO. July 26.-Asso ciated Oil company officials announc- ed here today they would endeavoI to colle:t their price of $2O3 a bar rel for fuel oil which six destroyers took at the company's wharves here today and for which the navy offic- CTS offered SIP. No resistance was offered by company men when the destroyerS took the oil! Company officials later said the navy virtually seized the fuel, because it had the men to make good it's threat to take the oil" The navy told the company to resort to the courts if it wished to collect its price.
 'The Associated Oil company did not bid for any naval contract as we could not meet the navys price with out losing money" F. B. Henderson, general manager of the company said. "The fuel cost us $160 at the wells and it is ridiculous to suppose we can bring it 200 miles to San Francisco for the added twelve cents the navy offered"
 Loading Of the destroyers follow ed prolonged price negotiation bh- tween the company and the navy heads which resulted in a deadlock
