Indeed, Kohlsaat's prophecy of 1895
that the automobile was here to stay
and would prove of the greatest util-

amply borne out as the museum ex-

= Kohlsaat, editor and pub
L Usher of the old Chicago
Times-Herald, took up his pen
to make this daring prediction
to skeptical public:

do but motors are coming in and
they will, in the end, be cheap

They will of necessity command
ultimate supremacy. The law of
selection, the survival of the
fittest, is going to play its part

played it in everything else in

By the time Henry Ford's old

however, the American farmer, like

Police Capt. Strange
Sent 10 Gallinger
After Suspension
Col. Kelly Says Charges
Of Drunkenness Will Be
Placed Against Officer

Capt. Clyde N. Strange, assist
ant chief of detectives, has been
committed to Gallinger Hospital
for observation after being ar
rested last night when found in
an allegedly drunken condition,
Supt. of Police Edward j. Kelly
announced today.
Col. Kelly announced that Capt
Strange has been suspended from
the force pending the hearing OF
formal charges against him.
The police chief told newspapermen
that Capt. Strange's arrest followed
week in which the 49-year-old
veteran detective was frequently in
toxicated. Col. Kelly said the cap
tain had been placed in a private
sanitarium during that period. When
Capt. Strange became belligerent at
the sanitarium, officials there eject
ed him. Col. Kelly said.
Second Censure.
This was the second time in two
months that Capt. Strange. vet
eran of "a years on the District po-
lice force, has been censured by his
superiors. Last June he was fined
$40 and given warning by Col.
Kelly for being absent without leave.
During Capt. Strange's career he
has received 10 concentrations for
outstanding police work and was
considered one of the. forces top
men in homicide and robbery cases.
Col. Kelly related this story Of the
chain of events leading to Strange's
arrest yesterday evening:
Several detectives at police head
quarters last Sunday detected from
Capt. Strange's appearance that he
had been drinking, although none
of them actually saw him take a
drink. The next day his wife called
and asked that he be permitted to
take off an overtime day due him.
The request was granted.
Tuesday Mrs. Strange asked If
her husband could be granted three
days of annual leave. This request
also was granted by Col. Kelly.
Yesterday Capt. Strange was
placed in a private sanitarium by
his wife, Col. Kelly said. When
Capt. Strange became too hard to
handle, doctors there placed him in
a taxicab and asked him to leave,
the police chief related.
Later yesterday Mrs. Strange
called police headquarters and re-
ported that her husband had called
and threatened her. Capt. Strange
was arrested last night at Sixth
and A streets Sc. by Sergts. Ray
Aggleson and Carl G. Darnall and
then taken to the second precinct
station where he was suspended by
Inspector Harvey G. Callahan, as
