In federal court Wednesday the
phone company laid the base for a

The Star. asked that the hearing be
set for 1870 in order that he might
have time TO read the motion. The
request was granted by Judge
Mitchell Gillian. before whom the
motion will be argued.
Tuesday afternoon Judge Tallman
held with The Seattle Star that the
case should be tried in the state
court.
Otto B. Rupp. attorney for the Pa

hearing was set for August 10.
on Monday. however, the teie-
phone company filed petition to
transfer the case TO federal court.
The hearing was held Tuesday
morning: attorneys In the case first
appeared before Judge Austin E.
Griffiths.
Counsel for the telephone COM
pany filed a writ OF prejudice
against Judge Griffiths, and for a

the building like volley ball.

court, but he was too busy to hear
II. Then 1t went back to Judge
Griffiths' court and was reassigned
TO Judge Gilliam's court.
In the meantime, Judge Tallmar
had cleared his calendar and he
sent word to Judge Gilliam's court
that he would hear the arguments.
From 1870 p. m. until late in the
afternoon. attorneys argued the
question as TO whether or not the

came before Judge Griffiths and the

100000 AUTOS STOLEN
IN u. S. IN SIX YEARS
Report Made of Twenty-Eight Key
Cities Only by Manager of Ma
tional Motorists Association.

ST. LOUIS. March More than
100000 automobiles were stolen in
twenty-eight key cities of the United
States in six years, of which nearly
% per cent have not been recovered
This is shown in table of figures on
thefts and recoveries made public
here today by c. A. Vane. general
manager Of the Natio-.al Automobile
Dealers Association. The cars stolen
in 1929 totaled 39.612. Of this num-
ber 1,2eS We're unrecovcred January J.
The percentage of uurscoyered
stolen cars in the twenty-cight in
dex cities for 1923 was IS per cent.
the lowest recorded since the records
have been kept.
Police efforts. certificate of title
laws, registration provisions all have
had an effect on the recoveries of
cars in 1928, it is believed. In spite of
the lowest number of unrecovered
cars, 1923 also registered the highest
total number of cars stolen in six
years in those twenty eight cities
Thefts in the index cities totaled
203,49S cars in six years. The recover
les totaled 1o3,S21 cars. The total of
cars uncovered is 1857. Figures
are reported to the National Automo-
bile Dealers Association each year
from the official records of the po-
lice DEPARTMENTS.

a side street would do just as well
there are just so man. more people
to complain about the automobile
and to urge restrictions.
All this need not he if motorists
would simply refrain from doing
those things that tend to lessen the
popularity of the automobile. If au-
tomobile accidents represented an ex-
pense merely to those who are di-
rectly involved the average motorist
might, for practical and unsympa-
thetic purposes, go his own way and
leave the careless to look out for
themselves. But accidents represent
an expense to everybody who owns
a car.
If the automobile had remained
the risky article ii was in the very
early days only a comparatively few
people would be motoring today, and
the cost of a car would be all out o.
proportion to its intrinsic value. But
the automobile was developed to a
point where il is inherently safe IL
properly handled The manufacturers
and engineers cannot be expected to
make IL automatically compensate
for carelessness. That feature Of it is
up to the motoriSt.
Ii should also be remembered that
every restriction on the use OF the
automobile results in a slower process
of replacement sales. People buy
fewer ears. not merely because they
don't need them as badly. but because
thte cars they have last longer.
The more use a motorist has for
his car, figures show, the less his mo-
toring actually costs him, for he
reaps real rewards from it. Restrict
cd use of the car, therefore. serves
