There are enough advocates of free
wheeling to tempt owners of more
conventional cars to free wheel by
coasting with the clutch disengaged.
This merely releases the engine and
allows the car to roll on its acquired
momentum. The plan is safe enough
IN the hands of good driver. but not
so much to be approved where there
is any risk of the clutch being mis-
handled. I found one woman making
the mistake Of only half disengaging
the clutch. This slipped the plates
and of course, saved very little gas.
Another driver failed to accelerate
the motor to speed matching that Of

method.

AUTO BUREAU AUDIT
STIRS UTAH POLITICS
Alleged Irregularities Discovered
as Department Is Trans
ferred.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpatch to The Star
SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. February
"A tense situation has developed in
Utah over the report Of alleged ir-
regularities in the books Of Secretary
Of State Milton H. yelling. The re-
port followed a preliminary audit of
the State Motor Vehicle Department,
which formerly was under Mr.. Well
ing's direction. The audit was oc-
casioned by the transfer Of the de-
partment to the State Tax Commits
sion and was requested by Mr.. Well
ing.
While explanations have been
offered with denials of Irregularities
and counter-denials on the part of
the auditors. the situation forecasts
an audit of the departments accounts
for the entire time it was under the
direction of Mr.. yelling. The audit
disclosed what appears to be short
age of s2,454 in the accounts of the
department and covers the time from
January 8, 1888, to June "a, 1888.
Two auditors, working under the
State auditors Office, have been
working several weeks on the ac-
counts. In a report to Gov. Henry
H. Blood they criticize some methods
used by Mr.. yelling or his subordi-
mates, and ask for $4,000 with which
to complete the audit. The attorney
general has indicated the money is
available from several different
souce.s.
Among the items mentioned in
criticism are listed the finding of the
initials of Jack yelling, son of the
secretary of state, on many receipts
issued. Jack yelling Is not listed as
an employe of the State. It Is ex-
planned that some university students
had been employed as night watch
men and had admitted that they had
split their salaries with other workers
not listed on the regular pay rolls.

rs YOUR car a Joke that has gone
i too far?
When an automobile man tells
i you that by using a top cylinder
oiler you will not be so greatly
troubled with carbon he does not
mean that the oil will act as a car
bon remover. He is telling you plain
facts and means that by letting the
oil keep the carbon softer there will
be fewer particles Of hard carbon to
become incandescent and to pre-
ignite the gas This is only part of
what such special cylinder oils ac
complish. but it is enough to lessen
the ''pinging" of many a motor.
Thanks to the use Of analogy, the
car makers have solved the problem
OF how to make this years radical

to persons who do not have a natural
bent for technical topics. All that is
mysterious about streamlining. for in

Independent springing, something
that has intrigued the greatest heads
in engineering circles, now is made
plain to every one simply by comparing
it to human knee action. Such cases
cause us to wonder how much further
along the road to knowledge the aver
age motorist would have been today
had manufacturers been able to clar
ify units of the car in years past.
Would. for instance, the carburetor
have been such mystery had it been
compared to milady's perfume atom

Who would have been puzzled by

joints had these units been pictured
as links of a chain which allow a shaft
to turn when bent? Would the
transmission have become so battling
a device had the sprockets Of juniors

mystery?
One of the motor publications is
asking service men to advise how often
they are called upon to express an
opinion on various makes of cars. 1t
reminds me to say that it is always

there are always number of cars of

from this that the particular make of

CLAIMS TO PETRAS
ESTATE FORWARDED
Germans Seek Share in Fortune
of $50, 900 in Phila-
delphia.
BY JUNIUS b. WOOD.

BERLIN, August Is (CD.N).-
German claimants to the $4,000 900
estate of Daniel Petras, who died in
Philadelphia IL years ago, forwarded
their legal documents to the United
States yesterday.
According to Bruno Ryzcek, Berlin
coffee importer who expects to get
one-third of this fortune, the first
news of his uncle's bequest was re-
ceived from the German consul-gen-
eral in Chicago year ago. He says
1t was sent to his deceased mothers
brother in Posen.
The Berlin claimant is extremely
hazy regarding most of the details
except that the millions are supposed
to be in a Philadelphia bank. Ac-
cording to him, his uncle was a dealer
in suburban real estate in that city
but disposed of his holdings and was
retired at the time of his death. He
believes that will was left dividing
the estate between sister, who was
his mother, and two brothers, one OF
whom still lives in Warsaw.

SOUTH'S RECOVERY
SEEN BY TUGWELL
Agriculture Official Lauds
Cooperation Shown in
Bankhead Bill.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEMSON COLLEGE, S. c., August
15.-Rexford G. Tugwell said today
that under the new deal the South is
coming gradually into its own again
as the free and equal partner of the
North and West in developing our ma
tional future along new and co-ope
ative lines"
Praising the South for its "readi-
ness to cooperate" as shown in the
Bankhead cotton control bill, the
Undersecretary of Agriculture spoke
at this college in the home State of
Senator E. D. Cotton Ed" Smith,
who led the Senate fight against his
nomination.
Policies Up to South.
Future cotton policies must be de-
eided by the South itself, Tugwell said.
He suggested tariff management to
"enable the world to pay for the cot
ton it buys from the South
The temporary acreage-reduction
programs must be transformed into
some permanent policy, he asserted,
and the decision must be made in time
to influence 1885 Spring planting.
AS to the part the South may play
in the world market in the future,
Tugwell said II doubt If you will care
to enter into world competition again
for Scent cotton" adding, 'but that
is a problem for the future"
With the world supply of cotton
now near normal proportions, the
Undersecretary said the American
grower must face the "clear-cut de-
cision" of constructing new control
plan to determine "the annual pro-
duction which we can expect to dis
pose of at home and abroad, with
out disastrously depressing prices.
"I recognize" Tugwell said, that
the people of the South abhor the
thought Of ever surrendering doml-
nance in the worlds markets"
u. S. Cotton Always Needed.
at is apparent that the world will
always need American cotton, even
If foreign acres should be greatly ex-
panded. It's character and quality
are such, particularly in some OF the
shorter staples, that it Is doubtful
whether other countries can soon
find practical substitutes"
TugweIl declared the question of
production was important in deter
mining whether the South shall
maintain its dominance of the world
cotton market, but said consideration
also must be given to the quality OF
the fiber.

SARRON FIGHTS
COVELL| At

Pete Sarron'S first test of the
1884 season comes tonight at
Portner's Arena where the Syrian
bomber whacks away at Frankie
Covelli, New York featherweight,
in a 10 round bout.
The old Sarron wit and the old
Sarron science keeps him pretty
much out in front against the run
of the mill featherweight boxers,
but when the Birmingham clouter
meets up with youngster with
ambitions and the ability to take
a shot on the lug to give one in
return, then Peter is not so good.
Pete Takes Lead
Probably the secret of Sarron's
success here has been the fact
that he never allows the other
fellow to get off first. It is Pete
who takes the lead by running
out with a left hand and then
hooking that right hand.
Covelli comes here rated as
great club fighter. He has
whipped Varias Milling, Petey
Hayes, AL Roth, Pete De Grasse,
Benny Britt and other leading 126
Founders.
