ENAMEL
BAKED ON Steel

Eight years ago, when Dodge Brothers originated
the all-steel motor car body, they took advantage
of the absence of wood in the framework to bake an
enamel finish on the surface of the steel
In vast series of electric ovens especially designed
and built by Dodge Brothers engineers for this
process, three distinct coats of black enamel are
successfully baked on the steel at an intensely
kgh temperature.
The result is finish so hardy and durable that it
seldom requires more than good cleaning and
polishing to restore the original brightness.
Even in sections of the Southwest where alkali in
the soil is especially destructive to body finishes,
Dodge Brothers enamel retains its beautiful lustre
after years of wear.

SAFETY CABLE SNAPS,
CITY ELEVATOR DROPS
-Four Men Besides Operator on Car
When Steel Rope Breaks--Get
Rough Shaking Up.

Five men. including the operator,
narrowly escaped serious injury this
morning about 1890 o'clock when a
cable on the City hall elevator sud
denly snapped, permitting the cage to
drop from eight to ten feel before 1t
stopped.
The elevator was on the way down
from the fourth floor Ralph C.,
Wainwright, park superintendent, and
William B. Wilbur, operator. were
the only ones who were on when it
started. On one of the lower floors
Edwin W. Able. Alfred H, Clark and
Julius H. Pease also got on.
The elevator is equipped with an
automatic stop. controlled by a steel
cable. Half way between the first
and SECOND floors this cable suddenly
snapped, letting the car drop to the
bottom of the pit. No one was in
iured but all five were badly shaken
up. The elevator was out of com
mission for the balance of the day,
Had this cable snapped while the
car was farther up the elevator shaft
no one at City hall seems willing to
hazard a guess as to the probable
-esult.

Thinking something was strange the
two officers took the girls in charge
and found out that they had left
their homes last Friday and had start
ed for New York. When taken in
charge they we're waiting for ride.
The girls said they had left home be-
cause their fathers objected to their
staying out later than 9 o'clock at
night. They said they could not stand
that and so decided to run away.
The girls were dressed well, al
though they wore no hats or coats.
They carried some articles of wear
ing apparel in small boxes. They said
that they had had little to eat and
had been forced to beg several times
during the trip. They did not know
what they would do when they ar
rived in New York.
The girls were taken to the New
Britain police station and the police
in Chicopee was notified.
Constable Brown stated this morning
that it is likely that the girls will be
sent for shortly. If no word is re-
ceived they will be confined in some
until arrangements are
made to get them to their homes.

Feet Protruding When
He Passed Twice.
Motive Unknown, Robbery
or Vengeance, State Po-
lice Think-Victim Evil
IDENTIFY Shot From Behind.

Danbury. Aug. 9.-The body Of
man about As years old, was found
at six o'clock this morning under a
highway, about FIVE miles east of this
city. The man had been shot
through the heart
The body has been identified az that
of Luigi De Biase of IS WNdman
street, Danbury, a hat factory en-
ploye.
Shot From Behind
An examination by DR.. H. Frank
Moore of Bethel, disclosed two bull
let wounds, one In the region of the
right kidney and the second about
two inches below the collar bone in
the left chest. AS the authorities pic
ture out the shooting, De Biase was
about to climb into the seat OF his
motor truck, which was standing just
off the travelled portion of the state
road. one foot on the hard surface
and the other on the step, when he
was shot from behind. The man
evidently turned around and received
the second bullet Internal bleeding
caused death, in the opinion OF the
medical examiner.
The scene of the. murder Is se-
cluded spot on the state highway but
the road is much travelled at all hours
of the day and night. Morris D.
Beers, deputy sheriff of Newtown,
passed the truck with the dead mans
body lying partially under it, the feet
extending out into the road Believ-
ing that the man was making some
minor repairs, the officer continued on
to Brookfield Jet When he return
ed and saw tbs body living in the
same place Sheriff Beers stopped and
made an examination, finding the
man was dead He at once notified
the authorities of Bethel and Dan
bury, De Biase was formerly a hat
ter but for several months has been
conducting a general light trucking
business. He is widower with three
children. Relatives and friends claim
that he had always had a good repu-
tation and that they know of no
enemies,
Trying To Find Motive
The state police are following mp
the theory that either revenge for
some clandestine love affair or rob-
berry, is the basis for the crime. A
wallet found in the dead mans trous-
ers contained a small sum of money.
The police have not secured a trace
of the mans movements since IL
o'clock last night when he went to
his rooms, apparently to retire.
The body was discovered about six
o'clock this morning and rigor mortis
had set in, showing that the man had
been dead several hours. John Sill
yer, who lives on cross road about a
quarter mile distant was awakened
some time before daylight by the
sound of a shot. He cannot tell the
hour except that it was after mid
hight A 32-calibre revolver, all
chambers loaded was found on the
,ody.
