ZEROLENE- fabricated bearings

If you haven't Travelled the Horseshoe
Route out of MERGED to Yosemite in one
of the Pierce-Arrow touring cars oper-
ated by the Yosemite Stage and Turn
pike Company, you've missed something.
But whether or not you have made
this trip, you'll be interested, as a motor
list, in knowing that the twenty-five
Pierce-Arrow cars used in this service
are fabricated with Zerolene. The man
ager of this famous stage line writes:
1--WE have been operating stage line since
1911 and have always used Zerolene. Re
Gently we disposed of some cars that had
been in our service zen years, and dur
ing that period none OF them had ever had
bearing scraped."
Whether you drive a Pierce Arrow or
Ford, the use of Zerolene of the proper
body, will not only cut down your oil bill,
but give you greater gasoline mileage, less

! Proposition w hic h
Also Calls for $780,
600 Stock Issue
to Pay Accumulated
Dividends - Tellers
Will Finish Count
Today

Portland, Maine, April 16.-Belief
was general tonight that the attempt
launched by some bankers and busi-
ness men of Maine to give the Maine
Central a new board of directors and
prevent adoption of a proposal of
the management for a 100000 pre-
ferred stock issue to pay accumulat-
ed dividends had failed. So great
was the number of votes cast
more than $4,000 shares being rep
resented by individual and proxies
that the tellers were unable to
announce the result Of the vote to-
night and the annual stockholders
meeting adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. when the result
of the balloting will be announced.
It was the most largely attended
stockholders meeting ever held and
although there was intense feeling In
some quarters that some members OF
the present directorate should be re-
placed, the utmost of good feeling
prevailed at the meeting and not q
sign of bitterness was shown by the
contesting factions.
Members of the bankers and busi-
ness mems committee which propos-
ed the directorate changes and OPP
posed the stock issue. announced to-
night that although they appeared to
have lost today the movement to
change the personnel Of the Maine
Central management has but just be-
gun and will be continued until de-
Unite results are accomplished.

Germans Formally
Tender Acceptance
OF Experts Findings

l. Paris. April 16-(By A. PO-The
German government has accepted the
experts reports as practical basis
for a solution of the reparatlon prob
lem, The reply of the German govern
ment was handed to the PREPARATION
commission today and there was
much enthusiasm at reparation head
quarters when it became known that
Germany would collaborate with the
commission in the settlement of this
most difficult problem on the basis
set forth by the experts.
The text of the reply, which was
brief, follows:
"The German government has the
honor to acknowledge the receipt of
the note of the reparation, commission
of April II concerning the experts
reports. The German government
considers the reports offered prac-
teal basis for a speedy solution or
the reparation problem. Therefore 1t
declares it's Willingness to collaborate
in the execution of the experts
plans"
One of the American delegates.
nhominently engaged IN the work of
drawing UP the reports, characterize
the German reply as "a precise ans
wer to the question the reparation
commission asked the German gov
ernment."
France, Great Britain, Belgium and
Germany now have announced their
acceptance of the experts reports,
and Italy's acceptance is expected
soon.
Already there appears to be dis
tinction, if not, difference, between
the Interpretation of the German re-
ply by the reparation commission and
the German delegation. The latter
SAYS that acceptance means that ne
Cotiations will be necessary in which
Germany will have an equal footing
with the others. The British prime
minister's acceptance is regarded
here as virtually unconditional. while
Premier Poincare's reference to the
report needing touching up, is held to
be a fore-runnef Of various reserva-
tons.
There appears to be genuine de-
sire on the part of all concerned to
get together at the earliest possible
moment. The differences do not ap-
pear to be such that they cannot be
overcome and optimism is increased
by the fact that a speedy solution"
is the keynote of the various accept
ances.
The Temps tonight says that the
French hope the reparation commits
sion will get to work on the report
at an early date.

Italian Paper Says
u. S. immigration
Is Too Discriminatory

Rome, April 16-The Corriere D.
Italia in leading editorial today
entitled trenches set by America
against Italian labor" says that the
reduced emigration to America is
the result of q crisis from which the
whole world is suffering and which
is felt in America perhaps more than
in many European countries. Italy's
lesson, the editorial declares. should
be to improve the quality of her ex-
ported labor.
ContinHing, the newspaper shar-
acterizes the American immigration
law as unjust, one sided and ad-
vantageous to Anglo Saxon, German
and Scandinavian emigrants to the
injury of Slavs and Italians as well
as to the yellow and black races"
These curious nationalist theories"
it asserts. ARE due TO n group of
pure Anglo-SaXons and intransige-
ant Americans mixed with puritanic,
theosophic, vegetarian and anti-al-
coholic elements" and result in a
hostility toward Italians which it
hopes is more noisy and apparent
than substantial but which ii de-
clares implies an unjust lack of ap-
probation of Italian labor compared
with that of other countries.
This. the newspaper concludes,
constitutes a grave problem which
the Italians must combine soon to
solve in their favor.

BELIEVE STOCKHOLDERS ARE
AGAINST PROPOSED CHANGE
IN DIRECTORS maine CENTRAL
MAKES
ANSWER TO SPEECH
OF MR.. BREWSTER

Ex-Attorney General William r.
Pattangall of this city, who will be
4 candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for governor in the June pri-
maries, in a statement made last
night in reply to speech made by
Ralph o. Brewste- Of Portland, one
of the Republican candidates for
governor, at Jay, says that the DEM
ocrats are prepared to fight the Re-
publican party under harrington or
the klan under Brewster.
Mr.. Pattangall's statement is as
follows:
Senator Brewster is quoted in the
press as having made the following
statement in speech delivered at
Jay Tuesday evening:
"a definite and concerted move
ment has developed in certain cities
looking to the participating of
groups Of Democrats in the Republic
can primary for the purpose of OPP
posing my nomination and then pro-
ceeds to blame me for the existence
of such situation.
There is no doubt Of the fact
that there has been a strong effort
made, on the part of certain adher-
ents of Senator harrington to induce
Democrats to vote against Senator
Brewster in the primaries. There
is also no doubt but that like eff
fort in the opposite direction has
been made by adherentS of Senator
Brewster.
''There is nothing new in this
situation. One of the features of the
Primary law which appeals to a GER
tain class of politicians is that under
it candidates may secure nominations
through the aid Of a group Of voters
of the opposite party.
ut is notorious that in 1916 SEN
ator Hale defeated Senator Fernald
for nomination through enlisting the
support of a substantial group of
Portland Democrats in the June
Primaries o. that year.
THAT an effort is being made to
induce Democrats who sympathize
with Klan theories to support Sem
ator Brewster in June and that an
effort is being made to induce anti
Khan Democrats to vote for SEN
ator Harrington at the same time is
undoubtedly true.
But Senator Brewster is entirely
wrong in thinking that 1 approve
such a proceeding. On the contrary.
with the assistance of the Demo-
cratic State committee and Demo-
cratic leaders all over the State l
have industriously labored to prevent
such n course being followed and l
believe with some degree of success.
1.-The Republican party, unhinder-
ed and unassisted by Democrats
should choose it's own candidates. l
will fight shoulder to shoulder with
Senator Brewster in that cause. 1t
is one point, at least, on which we
entirely agree. / have been urging
that doctrine everywhere and shall
continue to urge it and / am glad
that Senator Brewster is alive to the
situation and is prepared to meet it.
Il have not hesitated to express
very freely my personal opinion con-
corning Senator Brewster's candi-
dacy.
AS Il citizen OF Maine I should re-
gard it as unfortunate that any man
representing the ku KluX Khan ana
embodying it's effort to control the
government of Maine should be NOM
mated for Governor by either party.

THAW EAGER TO PARADE
HIS SANITY ON STAND:
CALM IN REVIEW OF CASE.
n, Y. REPUBLICAN DELEGATION
WILL GO UNIN Instructed BUT
COOLIDGE SENTIMENT STRONG

New York, April 16--Delegates to
the Republican state convention to-
day unanimously tuned in on the
keynote struck by secretary Of state
Hughes last night and burst into the
1924 campaign with a program OF
national issues and strong endorse
ment of the Coolidge administration.
Reassembling at Town Hall for the
second and last day of the convention
it took the 7SS party representatives
men and women-just 40 minutes
to conclude their business. They
elected State Senator Barton Swift
heard him set forth party issues for
structed entirely of national issues;
elected seven delegates at large and
seven alternates to the Cleveland
convention and adjourned sine die.
Complete harmony marked the
proceedings. Delegates will go to the
national convention uninstructed.
The unanimity with which President
Coolidge and his work were endorsed
left no room for doubt, however, that
the New York state vote was to be
solidly for the president.
The platform began by offering
1.-The record of the last three years
and the program submitted by our
president to the congress as proof
Of our right to the renewed conf
oence of the people and ended by
eulogizing the calm resolution, quiet
dignity and firm insistance on order
ly Justice" as exemplified by Mr..
Coolidge, Gin happy contrast to the
unfair, disorderly, partisan and DEM
agogic attempt" by Investigators at
Washington ito destroy the conf
dence fthe people in their public
servants"
Adoption of tax measures pending
in congress and perpetuation OF the
protective tariff system were the
chief planks of the platform.
The administrations tariff enact
ments. it's foreign policy. its efforts
toward international disarmament,
its diplomatic dealings with other
nations in the Americas, its attitude
toward leagues of nations-all were
acclaimed as having been productive
of prosperity at home, peace ana
good will abroad"
Five women were among the cleo
ted delegates at large and alternates.
Mrs. Louis NJ. Fairweather of Brook
lyn, q negress, was one of the lat
ter. She is the first woman OF her
race to be sent from this state TO
national convention in such capacity.
