NASH DENIES
AJAX RUMORS
Nash Denies UnfOunded
RumOrs Regarding Ajax
Automobile.
BE A QUALITY CAR

A definite statement by G. w. Nash,
president of both the Nash Motors
company and it's subsidiary, the Ajax
Motors company, serves to correct a
mistaken belief which seems to have
gained widespread acceptance in con-
nection with the price, of the Ajax,
the new car to be produced by the
Ajax Motors company. This report
credits the Ajax with being built to
enter into competition with the very
low priced field whereas the truth of
it is that although the Ajax is to besa
car of moderate size, it will be a
quality car throughout and one thor
oughly in keeping with the high
standards of manufacture inseparably
associated with the name of Nash.
Referring to this erroneous impress
sion, C. w. Nash says: Repeatedly
during my travels about the country
addressing dealer meetings since the
New York show l have encountered a
rumor that the Ajax is to be a cheap
car l presume that this idea sprane
from the fact that it is generally
known that the Ajax is to be produced
on large volume basis.
Not to be Cheap Car.
while at this time / am not in o
position to disclose the exact price at
which the, Ajax will be sold / can
guarantee that 1t will not be cheap
car but on the contrary a product OF
genuine quality in every detail and
feature although naturally lower in
price than any of the Nash models
AS a matter of fact, it will be the
embodiment of the very best things
the entire industry has developed
since its inception. Every circum-
stance attending its design and manu-
'9cture places us in an unusual posi-
ron, to produce car which will brine
ITO its price level quality features II
design and construction Immediately
recognizable as new to its field.
1--WE enjoy the enormous advantage
of starting in a plant which is com
pletely revamped to meet the latest
ideas in factory layout and we are not
hampered by the necessity of utilizing
any machinery of obsolete type since
all of the machinery and equipment
Of the Ajax plant is the very newest
to be secured and is of the most eff
Gent and advanced character inven-
tive genius has devised for motor car
manufacture.

Fast on Sheridan Road
This Morning.
TAKES FINE SMILING

It as a little too early for spring
speeders thought Deputy Sheriff Steve
Robinson this morning as he rode
leisurely into work along the Sheri-
day Road.
The thought had hardly flashed
through his mind when high powered
motor car sped past him so fast Steve
thought he was standing still, Deputy
Robinson took up the chase and had
the speeding motorist halted by the
time he reached the Simmons base
ball park The automobile was going
55 an hour when halted with the
deputy just enough ahead of this mark
to overtake his prey.
R. A. Nelson, of Chicago, the owner
of the car was at the wheel. He had
liveried chauffeur with him but evil
denly the latter could not run the car
as fast as he wanted to go.
Haste Caused Delay.
NI'm in an awful hurry" said Nelson
to the motorcycle officer in a good
natured way. 1--WE got to get to Ra-
cine at once to take care of an ad-
vertising campaign there"
sorry DuC you've got more import
ant business in Kenosha right now,
said the deputy as he told the man to
follow him to the court.
In court Nelso- in a debonair man
ner said: Guilty, Judge, Guilty

look for motorcycle cops at the same

Listen Judge"
Listen nothing. You were going 50
miles an hour. Better pay your fine
and say nothing more about it and be
tickled that you got off as easy as
you did"
1t was later discovered that Nelson
was in court here on { similar charge
Just about a year ago at which time
Deputy Sheriff Nick Otto had the duty
to halt him and bring him into court.

LEARN MORE OF
DE FRANC CASE
Letter Arrives Telling of
Attack by Negroes Upon
Matthias De FRANC
AT DETROIT HOTEL

Further details of the hold-up at
Detroit in which Matthias De FRANC,
formerly of Kenosha, was killed, have
been received here in a letter to the
Kenosha police department. The let
ter has been turned over to De Frang's
mother, for whom he called in the
last hours of his agony while dying at
Detroit hospital
De FRANC, the letter states, was
killed by two negroes who approached
him for money The encounter took
place near the hotel where De Frank
was employed. Two negroes, the ac-
count said, stopped De FRANC, and ask
ed him for some change, which he re-
fused. The thugs thereupon stabbed
him, it was said.
Continue Investigation.
1t was the dying mans cry for his
mother whom he said lived in Keno
sha, that established the fact that his
home was here. Until that moment
he was knownI at the hotel as Matthias
Collins, and it was not known that he
had relatives in this city. When the
body was brought here, it was identi-
fed as that of Matthias De FRANC who
had lived here until twelve years ago,
Meanwhile the police at Detroit are
continuing their investigation into the
circumstances of De Frang's death.
Six suspects were arrested shortly af-
ter the victim died, but there has not
been evidence sufficient to warrant a
prosecution.

BEST YEAR FOR
THE NORTH SHORE
Report Shows North Shore
Electric Line Had Big
gest Year in 1924.
TELL OF NEW YORK

Kenosha as one of the cities served
bv the Chicago. North Shore and Mil
waukee railroad is interested IN the
annual report of the company for the
year 1924, just made public IN Chi
cage and showing that the year was
the best in the history of the line.
While the increase was less marked
than in some previous years, the d.
rectors in their report considered the
gain "as very satisfactory in view OF
the general business depression felt
in all industries and in all parts OF
the country"
From a gross operating revenue OF
$12,68S for each mile of road in 1916,
the company's business has steadily
increased annually until the high mark
of $59,962 a mile was reached last
year, showing, according to the re-
port, "a steady development in keep
ing with the character of the territory
The beginning of construction work
on the new Skokie valley line Of the
road is regarded as one of the main
achievements of the year and the COM
pletion of that branch at Lake Bluff
in the near future is promised.

"The new line embraces every type

way, depressed tracks in an open cut
elevated tracks on solid fill and on
open steel structure and surface
tracks.
"Owing to the depth of the open cut
which at some points is below the

sary to build large sewer and install
automatic pumps to drain the surface
water. The line is now completed to

lance of five miles Of double track
Eight modern brick and stone stations
of the distinctive North Shore Line
type have been erected. The Chicago
Rapid Transit company will operate
local service on the branch to Demp.
ster street."
Motor Coaches Grow Popular.
That motor coach routes are be-
coming increasingly important in the
operation of a railroad is evidenced
by the report of the purchase of sew
eral new motor coaches of various
types during the year and the estab-
lishment of new motor routes through
the small lake regions of Illinois and
Wisconsin.

instruction of the public in safety

report states. Under the direction OF

WHY?

The memoirs which Georges Clemen-
ceau, Frances war premier, has been
writing will not be published until 10
years after his death. 1t is so stipu-
lated in his will.
Why? Surely his book can't be so
bad that he would be ashamed to see
it in print. And even if it were, why
wait the added 10 years?
Very likely Clemenceau's request,
like that of Mark Twain in connection
with his, own autobiography, is a form
of egotism.
Assuming that ONES works and
PHILOSOPHERS will stand the test Of
time, even so short space as 10 years
indicates a fair amount Of conceit.
