and she called q priest, but though
the last rites Of the church were ad-

For one it brought the end Of q career

offices Of the American government.
To the other 1t bore the beginning Of
q new and greater chapter In q career
already brilliant.
While Mr.. Taft is the only man in
history to serve Is president and chief
justice, Hughes missed the former by
an extremely narrow margin. Oppos-

OF 1916, he failed Of election by %
electoral votes. So close was the bal

for days.
Began In New York
Hughes career began In New York,
where his legal abilities brought early
prominence and an opportunity for
the Republican mayoralty nomination
in 1905. This, he declined. Two years
later he became governor Of the state
and In 1909 he began q second term,
but resigned In 1910 to accept ap-
pointment as IN associate Justice Of
the supreme court. This came from,
Taft. then president.
The Republican national conven-

the presidency IN June 10. 1916, and
he resigned from the supreme bench
on the same day. After hts defeat at

Consolidation Of the Northern Pa

ed in Mandah last night.

clared. "Just what decision the COM

Mr.. Donnelly made these state

Burlington Is Pivot
The executive explained that the
two northern lines own and control
the Burlington line, which connects
the Twin Cities and Chicago. and the
spokane, Portland, and Seattle road.
Could the roads retain control Of the
BURLINGTON, consolidation would be
an immediate matter. he said.
But the I~nteretate Commerce Com

duce operating companies from about

road the nucleaus Of . separate and

this tentative plan to be carried
through, other connections for the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern

necessary, Mr.. Donnelly said. The

cooperation with engineers of
General Motors Research. The
success Of their efforts has been
atteSted by the experiences of
thousands Of owners.

automobile include the sedan,
brougham, and convertible coupe.
All models are mounted on the

Two entirely new lines OF
straight eights, known as the
Marmon Eight So and Eight 79,
are announced by Marmon and
are being exhibited by the Neu-
meyer Motor Company at the auto
show, to replace the MarmOn
Series SO and Series 78.
The addition of these two lines

position of offering for the new
year four new lines of straight
eights, completely blanketing the
four major price fields.
The new Marmon Big Eight was
introduced in the fine car field
only a short time ago, and the
Marmon-built Roosevelt which
sells in the $1,000 class, was placed
