most thrilling race was between two

Acropolis, with 44 aboard. Starting
as the ships bell struck midnight, the
two liners were of under forced
draught.
All the way to Quarantine there
was just two minutes difference be-
tween the two ships and the Official

In spite of the fact that the chi
cago OF the French Line, with 81

intense excitement that was rampant
aboard the two Greek liners. On the
Chicago practically every nation

Greek immigration quota for the
month Of September has been set at
657 there was great anxiety on the
part OF the Greeks on both the King

At the East 67th Street station,
where he was questioned, Moran said
he had gone to the room after Mrs.
Russell, an acquaintance Of his, had
called him. He said he started to
empty his revolver there but must
have overlooked one shell. The bull
let from that entered Mrs. Russell's s
leg.
The charges against Moran. who
was recently restored to duty after
exoneration in another shooting. are
said to be conduct unbecoming An
officer, absence from duty when he
was supposed to be on reserve and
failure to report the accident.
Mrs. Russell and her husband live
in furnished room at the 77th Street
address. In a room two doors down
the hall lives Mrs. Marie Hotchinss.
a friend Of Mrs. Russell.
"A little while before the shooting"
Mrs. Hotchings told the police, Mrs.
Russell came to my room and told me
that Moran was in her room. l told
her she better get him out, as he is a
married man.
Mrs. Russell said that little
earlier, from her window. she had
seen Moran in the street engaged in
mock fist fight with some other
man. When it was over, she said.
he came 10 her room and told her he
was off duty for sixteen hours. She
said she advised him to lie down and
sleep. but instead he took out his
revolver and began to clean it. She
said he took six shells from the gun
and placed them on the bureau, ap-
parently thinking he had emptied the
weapon.
ut was some time after Mrs. Rus
sell had gone back to her own room,
and | was taking a nap in mine, when
she burst into my room saying:
Moran shot me-give me a pill
low
Il found she was wounded in the
left leg. fixed her up with a pillow
and she seemed 10 be losing con-
sciousness as | ran out to find a
policeman"
Mrs. Hotchings called Patrolman
Bryce of the East 9th Street Station,
who in turn called DR.. Jedlicka Of
Flower Hospital, Mrs. Russell was
removed TO Bellevue Hospital, where
the bullet was extracted Her con-
dition is not serious.
Meanwhile it is said that Moran
mad disappeared. The first report to
any police station on the accident
was made by Bryce. After receiving
it Capt. Wall telephoned the West
4Ith Street Station and talked with
Lieut.. Bruckman. asking when
Moran was due to report. Bruckman
said Moran was due at midnight,
whereupon Capt. Wall ordered that
Moran be sent to the East 9th Street
Station Immediately after reporting.
The earlier shooting in which
Moran was mentioned occurred on
Aug. 90 at a poolroom at No. 1919
Third Avenue. Edmund Clayton,
twenty one. No. 230 East s3d Street,
was shot in the leg in the course of
an alteration. He accused Moran of
firing the shot and Moran's arrest
was ordered In that case, as in the
prose Mt, Moran could not be found at
first. and when he did appear he de-
MED knowledge of the shooting.
Clayton retracted the charge, saying
ne had been mistaken, and Moran
was put back on duty

SALES SEPARATED FROM MANUFA FACT' [
 BY MORE[AND CO.

The R. D. Roper company, local distributors of the Noreland truck have just received information from the Moreland headquarters which will prove of great interest to truck deal CTS and owners
 For the purpose of bringing about more systematic and efficient han ding of it's enlarged business the Moreland Motor Truck company has separated it's manufacturing and selling organizations. This has been done by the formation of a new cor poration under the name of the More land Sales company, incorporated under the laws of the state of Caiifor- mia with capitalization of $500 900.
 The new corporation takes over all of the direct factory branches and the handling of the sale of all trucks parts and service. Watt L. Moreland. general manager of the Moreland Mo- tor Truck company is president of the new corporation. Service Man ager w. F. Forker, Sales Manager P H. Mallory and Assistant Sales Man ager Ted Hobgood are the vice presi- | dents of the sales corporation, and J. l l.. Armer. secretary treasurer of the i manufacturing company holds the same position with the sales com pany. These officials with the man
 agerS of the factory branches consti tute the board of directors.

 We strongly believe in our policy of close and direct relationship be- tween the producer and the con- sumer," says Mir. Moreland
 Tn a constantly increasing degree motor trucks are more than mere pieces Of machinery. They represent transportation economical efficient use over long term of years They are still machines. however. and like a locomotive. or any fine bit of ma chinery, require skilled attention and care. which the average owner is not prepared to give This lack we sup ply through our direct factory branches our travelling inspectors and our general service organization. This feature we propose to develop to an even greater extent than in the past We hope to be recognized not merely as truck manufacturers but as transportation egineers. By the separation of our organizations and the inten0fying of the efforts of each in their respective lines we feel that We can accomplish the results desired to much better advantage"

DON I DECREASE I IRE PRESSURE ! N H | I ] AY $

What effect has summer heat on tires? Here is a timely warning against reducing air pressure in your tires on hot day Experience shows that most of the heat generated in tire comes from the inside of the tire. and Is due to friction and constant
 flexing. The amount of this heat in-
 creases with underinflation.
 A test made on 5-inch cord tire
 at 30 miles an hour for two hours at
 the standard 70 pounds air pressure.
 with the temperature of the air 62.6
 degrees Fahrenheit, increased the
 temperature of the tire to 86 degrees and the pressure to only 75 pounds For 23 degrees increase in tempera- ture, pressure increased only five pounds To obtain an increase of 15 l pounds pressure. it would be neces- 1 sary to have a temperature of TO de- l grees over normal. This of course i+ improbable and clearly proves tha the motorist has little to fear from
 Increased temperature.

 Fl Radiation of course carries off certain portion of surplus heat Thi is easily seen in the fact that the tir' suddenly stopped is cooler on the out side than on the inside. Revolvini through the air cools tire, thougl up to certain point heat is gene rated faster than 1t can be throw 1 off.
 K By reducing pressures. the in creased flexing of the tire creates tn very condition which the car owne wishes to guard against It Is under l l imitation even during the hottest day l 1 that ruins more tires than any othe | cause.
