NEW auto MODELS
| IS ENGINEERS AIM
Experts Never Satisfied With
Latest Designs in Car
Construction.
BY the Associated Press.

by tne ASSOCIATED Press.
DETROIT. January 27.-While the
automobile industry's sales directors in
current automobile shows have been
demonstrating improvements in design
and mechanical advances the riding
and driving public probably did not
even dream about few years ago, the
car Of the future and motoring as 1t
will prevail a decade or more hence
have come in for more than ordinary
consideration.
All the superlatives Of the sales di-
rectors' arguments seemingly are justi-
fed In the 1888 models of the industry,
but the policy Of never being completely
satisfied is squirting the automotive en-
gineers on.
Coincident with the local automobile
show, which, although it Is a dealers
display, Is regarded as one Of the out
the Society of Automotive Engineers
held its annual meeting In Detroit.
Immediately preceding this meeting the
Nations road builders held their an
nual convention with the American
Highway. Congress here.
OF greatest concern to the road
builders, as outlined in resolutions
adopted. was the prospect of marked
curtailment, due to economic conditions,
of road-building programs in various
States. Resolutions urged against the
diversion to other purposes Of taxes
originally levied for highway con-
Struction.
The automotive engineers fgurative-
ly laid the present-day motor car on
the operating table and dissected it, to
determine from what they had blue
printed and assembled only few
months ago just what further advances
might be made in the subsequent
models. Although the automotive en-
gineers have specific ideas Of what the
motor car should embrace in design
and mechanical characteristics, una
nimity is lacking and, several Of them
say, the motoring public Is not yet
ready for the drastic changes in ap-
pearance that will mark the motor car
of a decade hence.

Hines URGES
TO AID RAILROADS
Carrier Expert Suggests to
Roosevelt Quick Relief for
Transport Problems.
BY DIR. MAX WINKLER,

Special Dispatch to The Star. 4s,
NEW YORK, January 27.-The Diff
culties now confronting American
transportation systems are not likely to
be solved unless and until all carriers
receive the same treatment and are
put on the same basis, according to
Walker D. Hines, authority on rail-
roads and chief administrator of Amer
ican carriers during the World War
In line with this view, Mr. Hines,
called in as a special adviser to Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt on the problems
pertaining to the railroads has pro-
posed remedies which he maintains
can be effected much more quickly
than through the enactment of legis-
lation under consideration.
Mr.. Hines plan involves the elimina-
ton OF the long and short haul regu-
lation established by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the curtailment
of the development Of waterways and
Government regulation of motor bus
traffic.
On the assumption that Mr. Roosevelt
will act favorably on these suggestions,
the future market action of railroad
securities should be regarded as auspi-
cious.

NEW YORK, January 27-Unsettle-
ment IN a number of the speculative in
dustrial bonds and heavy liquidation Of
Canadian railway securities we're fea-
lures today of the investment market.
The receivership announced for the
Paramount-Publix Corporation caused
heavy selling in the So per cent de-
bentures around their previous low price
at 8. At the same time there was
decline of 112 points in Loew's 6s,
which, however, were able to hold sew
eral points above their previous mini
mum figure. Warner Bros IS were
down nearly point, as were Keith IS.
The widest fluctuations were in Stude-
baker 6s which early dropped 31a points
and then rallied slightly This issue
was brought out last year and on its
introduction to the board sold up to
about 81. Today it was around 80. The
sharp decline in the per cent preferred
stock OF the company suggests some re-
adjustment in the dividend next week
United States Rubber SIS lost a part
OF their recent advance. Oil company
issues were heavy. Tobacco Products
Gas touched new high for the year
and Western Union SIS rose a point.
Dodge Brothers IS, National Dairy
Products 514s and McCrory Stores
l2S were of from a fraction to a
point. New Jersey Power & Light 412s,
which were bid up to 95 short time
ago. today dropped below 90.
One of the significant features of the
session was the strength in the first
mortgage railroad bonds. Baltimore &
Ohio As advanced l y points. Fractional
gains were made by Atchison 4s, North
ern Pacific Is and Union Pacific As.
On the ether hand, the Canadian Pa
ciflc and the Canadian National Rail
road loans were heavy and gave evi-
dence of considerable amount of
liquidation. This is understood to be
coming from London, where insurance
corporations have been transferring
funds from Canadian obligations into
those payable in sterling
German issues as a group were lower
Several of the corporation and munich
pal loans were down / to ~ points
Brazilian 6l@s sold at the best of the
year.
The large oversubscription for the
5-year Treasury notes brought the pre-
MUM on this issue close to / per cent
Liberty first 4l4s, Treasury As and the
discount Treasury notes were all strong.

CURB SHARES DROP

NEW YORK, January 27.-The Curb

Electric Bond & Share was of around

The increased offerings Of Niagara

Savannah Sugar preferred reRained
most Of its recent loss, but Horn &

packing shares were neglected, as were
most Of the other food stocks, though
Northwestern Yeast was of more than
a point. The squirt In Walgreen has

Renewed weakness of tobacco shares.
especially those listed on the big board,
cue to the expectation Of further ciga-
rette price reductions, was reflected in
Tobacco & Allied Stocks. Inc, which
yielded more than a point.
Public utilities were rather inactive,
considering the news that developed
about the group. Brazilian Traction
eased as it reported 1892 gross revenues
down 16 per cent. British Columbia

cline of 8 per cent in its revenues in

DRASTIC CHANCE IN
 ALASKA FISHERY LAWS
 BADLY FELT, SECTIONS

The nineteenth edition of the Laws and Regulations for the Pro- lection of Fisheries in Alaska which constitutes the 1883 fishing regulations shows several changes affecting the Copper River and Prince William Sound area and the clam fisheries.
 The first change in the Copper River area comes in Section 7 and cuts down considerably on the length of drift nets. Where pre- viously the length was 100 fathoms for boats under 23 feet and 200 tathon for boats over that length, the gill net length is now limited to 175 fathoms regardless of the length or size of the boat. The king salmon season has been short ened by one week and the gear for these fish has been cut to 75 fath- omS instead of 100 as formerly
 The most drastic change comes in the regulations for taking clans in this area. Instead Of one closed season in the summer from July l5 to August 31. the season will now be closed from March l to

1888 FISH RUNS IN ALASKA WILL bE AMPLE,
 DECLARES OFFICIAL

The Department of Commerce announced that the Alaska division of the Bureau of Fisheries reported substantial runs of salmon are eX- pected in territorial waters du- ring the coming season. But it was not SO certain about what the pack would be.
 That. it was pointed out by Den his Vim, Alaska agent of the bureau, depends upon the can ners. He is confident that ample salmon will be available for them.
 Packers are going slow in their plans for next seasons program, according to advices received from prominent Seattle cannerymer and officials of the Association of Pa cifc Fisheries There are said to be too many uncertainties in the offing to make financing operations other than intricate just now.
 The major handicap is found in price conditions which are so low that there is no hope for profit for the bulk of the pack, it was declared. While there is no great quantity of canned fish carried over now, and the market will be almost entirely bare of pinks and chuns before the new pack reach es the trade, the Japanese bugaboo is keeping the figures down to a re- cord low.
 The Japs haven't marketed in excess of 25,000 cases of pinks to date in this country, and prob ably haven't got any great quan- tity on hand available for export, but brokers are quoting them without limiting the buyers as to quantity. Deprecated Japanese money makes it possible for them to ship fish into the United States

 In the spring open season which is from April 5 to June 30, the to- tai pack for this area together with that of the remainder of Prince William Sound and the Bering River area is limited to 27,- 500 half-pound can cases or 1,140,- 900 pounds of clans. During the fall and winter open season which is from September l to February 28, the combined total for the same area is limited to only 100000 pounds of clans, including shells, or 2,500 half-pound can cases.
 This regulation works tremend- ous hardships on the small inde- pendent packers during the long open season he is limited to a small pack while during the spring there is practically no limit so far as the small canneryman is con- cerned, but he is limited to only two months and a half in which to make his pack.

 Mos tof them realize the finan- cial status of the Territory is not as bright as it was during the ses- sions of the past decade or more, but they hope that the Legislature, realizing the extreme plight of the industry, due to the depression and invasion of the local markets by the Japanese, will at least not raise taxes, and if it is at all pos sible, will try to give them some relief from burdensome rates.

much cheaper than local packers can produce the same variety of salmon.
 Uncertainty over the stability of the regulations for the current year has also been one of the de- terrants to the adoption of final plans by the packers. Fear has been expressed that the appoint ment of a new Commissioner of Fisheries following President-elect Roosevelt's inauguration might re- suit of sudden changes in regu- lations issued by Commissioner Henry OMalley with results more costly than the packrs could af- ford to bear.
 For that reason, most if not all of the packers are urging that Mr. OMalley be retained in his present post until at least the close of the commercial fishing season next fall. No indication has been given of what the outcome of their movement will be.
 Then this year is Alaska's Leg islative year. The Territory is de- pendent upon the salmon canning industry for most of it's revenues, and the tax policies of the Eegis- lature is of considerable import ance to the packers who, as usual,

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

The life of Lincoln should
never be passed by in silence
by young or old. He touched
the log cabin and it became
the palace in which greatness
was nurtured. He touched
the forest and it became to
him a church in which the
purest and noblest worship of
God was observed. His occu-
patton has become associated
in our minds with the integ-
rity of the life he lived. In
Lincoln there was always
some quality that fastened
him to the people and taught
them to keep time to the mu-
sic of his heart. - David
