auto OF TODAY
HAS STAMINA
Parts Replacement One of
the Best Tests of Cars
Quality

An interesting sidelight on the
stamina and strength built into the
present day automobile may be
found in the parts stock" depart
ment of the average dealer in the
United States, according to Leslie
Williams, Assistant Sales Manager
of The Studebaker Corporation OF
America.
requirements of parts OF the
average automobile is one of the
best tests of the quality of the
building of that car" said Mr..
Williams. "The Studebaker dealer
in the big city will carry about
5000 different types of parts. The
dealer in small cities will carry
perhaps 1000 different kinds of
parts.
"a large dealer, for instance, will
carry several hundred hub caps.
The hub cap is one of the fastest
moving units of any stock depart
ment. Perhaps the next most de
manded part of any dealers stock
is the fender
But if you go into the average
dealers stock room you will find
very few units of the vital parts of
the car such as rear aXles, gears,
cylinder blocks and so forth. These
things are not in great demand |
don't believe there is a single rear
axle in the average metropolitan
daler's stock room. There are prob
ably two or three sets of gears.
but not more and they move Slowly.
The parts of the car that suffers
damage in minor or major acct
dents are the ones that are carried
in large numbers by dealers. This
indicates that the abundant
strength and stamina in Stude-
baker automobiles and that the
greatest number Of parts replace
ments are made necessary by
accidents and not through failure
of the materials in the cars"

HOPE FOR PEACE
| IN NURSES ROW
President of Emergency Hos
pitaI AIumnae to Seek
Adjustment.

Attempts were being made today TO
settle the controversy between grad
uate nurses of Emergency Hospital
and the management of the instltu-
ton which yesterday precipitated a
threat by graduate nurses to walk out
of the hospital unless they were
granted a hearing of their grievances.
Miss Susan Frazier, president OF the
Emergency Hospital Alunlnae Assocl-
alton, hoped to meet Woodbury. Blair,
chairman OF the governing board,
this afternoon in an attempt to bring
about an amicable settlement OF the
differences.
Miss Frazier today took exception
to statements attributed to hospltai
officials that the nurses Wei'g dis
gruntled because of stricter require
ments imposed by Miss Janet Fish,
superintendent, and that they were
actuated by selfish motives. Inc
nurses, she said, are interested in the
good of the hospital and of the tram
ing school, and believed that the bring
ing in Of outside" nurses for respoh-
sible positions tended TO weaken 'he
prestige of the school.
Hope for Settlement.
Miss Frasier said she hoped the
controversy would be settled without
a walkout The alumnae association
will meet tonight, she said, at which
time it will decide whether to carry
out it's plan to strike Miss F'rasief
said she would take whatever steps
the association asks her to take. She
reiterated that the nurses are not
antagonistic, but simply are asking
a hearing of their grievances, which
she said, has twice been refused.
Mr.. Blair said today it would be
impossible for him to discuss the con-
troversy with the nurses officially
but that he would talk with Miss
Frasier or with any other representa-
tives who came to see him. He said
he hoped the differences would ad-
just themselves and that there would
be no Walkout.
"NO Strike Right"
1.-The public" he declared, will not
tolerate a strike of nurses. They are
public servants in a. public institution
and as such have no right to strike. y
Their private interests. he said. could
not be placed before the interests OF
the public and of the institution.
THE governing board" Mr.. Blair
said. must either support the man
agement 1t has put in charge of the
hospital, or it must dismiss it, For
that reason, he said, he could not hear
complaints in an official capacity. Al
the same time he expressed willingness
to discuss the matter with the nurses
privately and to give them any helr
he could
1T would be very unusual for the
board to interfere in such a matter,
he explained. THE directors are salts
fed with the management, and there
fore must give it free hand

Merrick Explains Plan.
Merrick testified that while the pro
fibition administrator for New York
in 1924 he discussed prohibition mat
fars with Judge Cooper. who suggested
Merrick attempt to get "higher-ups"
in a bootleg ring fiourishing In north
crn New York.
Early in 1924 Judge Cooper told
NIerrick, the witness testified, that
he was tired Of imposing fines with
out an apparent let-up in violations
tnd wanted to know why the higher
ups" could not be arrested.
II told him." Merrick said, that
had had trouble with my agents, one
of whom sold cut to the bootleggers.
! said that we could get funds from
Washington, buy automobiles and buy
and sell liquor as if ostensibly boot
leggers.
Il suggested we go a step further
and sell liquor to wholesalers, get
them in that way for conspiracy"
Judge Approved Plan.
Judge Cooper approved this plan,
Merrick testified, and he then went to
Washington to get the approval of
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes and
other officers. They said the plan
could be worked If Judge Cooper
would back them UP.
Through his officers, Merrick said,
nearly every large bootlegger was ar
rested and brought before Judge
Cooper for trial.
Upon inquiry from Representative
Dyer of Missouri, Merrick testified
that the plan was entirely his own
suggestion and made to Judge Cooper
because the jurist was anxious to get
the key men in the bootleg ring.
Under cross-eXaminat.on on by Roscoe
Irwin, counsel for Judge Cooper, Mer
rick testified that the only purpose of
the under-cover plan, as agreed to be-
tween himself and the judge, was Ito
meet a bad crime situation in northern
New York"
He said he never discussed with
Judge Cooper any details of the ar
rests resulting from the under-cover
plan before the cases were brought
to trial.

COUNSEL IN BUSCH
CASE HOLD DEBATE
Closing Arguments Await De-
CiSion on More Than 100
Prayers.

Possibility of closing arguments in
the Busch murder trial being present
ed this afternoon appeared dim a.
opposing counsel in the case argued
for and against the more than 100
prayers for instructions to the jury
today.
After Justice William Hitz. presid-
ing over the trial in Criminal Division
2, had denied all motions for a direct
ed verdict and had tentatively granted
and refused certain of the prayers, he
threw them open to debate among the
counsel Most of the prayers We're
referred to by numbers. but it is under
stood the court granted those of the
Government dwelling on murder in
the first and second degrees; those OF
the defendant, John Proctor, relating
to circumstantiai evidence; and those
Of the defendants Samuel Moreno and
Nichols Lee Eagles, concerning man
slaughter. The prayers of John F.
McCabe, calling for a mot guilty
verdict, were denied at this time, il
was understood.
Widow Identifies Cape.
In order to clear up a doubt in the
mind of one of the defendants. the
bullet-ridden rain cape of Policeman
Leo w. X. Busch was brought intc
court by the officers widow, who
identified it on the stand. Mrs Busch
was called as witness earlier IL
the case, but in Difference to hei
wishes the government did not insist
that she testify Her testimony tOda5
concerned the cape only. She sale
her husband wore it when he left home
on September %, and the next timt
she saw it was about o'clock tht
following morning at Garfield Hosp
tai.
The cape, together with the officer
uniform and other clothing, was taken
back to her apartment. Mrs. Buscf
said, and kept there until October OF
10, when she expressed her willing
ness to turn the complete uniform over
to some officer who was unable to pro
vide himself with the regulation cloth
ing. All of the uniform, including the
cape, was Mr.. Busch's property, She
said She turned the clothing over tC
Policeman Buchanan of the 10th pre-
cinct, who acted as messenger fol
Capt. Frederick Cornwell. with whom
she had conferred and subsequently
learned all the clothing. except tbs
cap, was turned over to Policeman

Minor Repairs Shown.
Updegraff then was called to the
stand and pointed out several minor
repairs he had made to the rubber
cane Three bullet holes We're identi
fled and exhibited to the jury. The
holes had not been covered up.
This testimony, which had been re
served by the court upon the compile
ton of the Government and defense
cases, represented the last to be heart
and the jury was excused until to
morrow.
