AN AUTOMOBILE STORY.

Tho automobile buyer is too frequently guided by the advice of others, the appearance of the car,, the first cost and the discount he is enabled to obtain from the agent making the sale. I believe it is better policy for the buyer to first consider . the power of the automobile and the expense of its "up-lreep" (maintenance). The car that will only show great speed, indicates a high geared car; the car that will only show hill-climbing qualities on advanced speed, indicates a low geared car BUT THE CAR THAT SHOWS BOTH OF THESE FEATURES, in an unmistakable way, INDICATES GREAT POWER, and this is to be found in a Rnick Automobile. GREAT POWER means less strain on mechanism; less strain Dn mechanism means less ex

SIGLER ASKS 1 18 SEEK 101HER After Long Years of Separation He Yearns For Maternal Caresses. Chief nimbach received a letter this afternoon from Kew York City from Leo Slgler, requesting the police to try and locate his mother for him. About ten years ago Mr. Slgler lived in Hammond and ran a drug store and on account of family troubles, he suddenly left and since then until today no one ha3 ever heard of him. He had two sons and these ho took with him, and hi3 neighbors supposed he had either committed suicide or gone to Germany. After leaving Ilamincnd S!gler'3 wife married a pressman who was employed at the Conkey plant and later went to Indianapolis, where she was lust heard from. She Is said to have supposed that her former husband was dead and never knew where the chlMren were. Tho police have tried to locate Mrs. Pigler but can only find out that she went to Indianapolis. In his letter Leo Siglor says he lias been trying to locate his mother for the last two years, but only a few days ago found that she had formerly lived at Hammond. TO BE PIEO FOI Pi f? TRAFFIC Lyman Street May Be Opened and Improved From End to End. A matter that promises to be of great benefit to thee ity has been discussed informally among tho members of the board of public works at various times. It Is the opening and paving of Lyman street throughout its entire length in such a manner that it will be one of the best heavy traffic streets in the city. The subject has been revived of lato. Lyman street runs from Douglas street to Carroll street along the west side of the Monon tracks. Tho board of public works may open it farther south and on through Harrison park. The board of public works has recognized that another street through the south part of the city Is imperative. The street will become popular with teamsters because they will not bo hampered by street car tracks and In many instances it will give them a more direct route than that afforded by other thoroughfares. With a large part of the traffic taken off Hohman street in this manner it will tend to keep that street cleaner and leavo it more quiet through Homewood. RECORD ABSENT AMERICANS. Recommendations for changes in the naturalization laws of the United States have been submitted to congress by a special commission Dr. David Jayno Hill, minister to the Netherlands; James B. Scott, solicitor . of the state department, and Gaillard Hunt, chief of the passport bureau. A plan for keeping an accurate record of Americans living abroad is provided for. It is suggested that the state department issue certificates of nativity to all American-born citizens living outside the United States. The American boys living abroad, when 18 years old, are to register with the American consular office, declaring their intention of becoming citizens of this country, and at 21 they are to take the oath of allegiance. All Americans living outsido of this country are to be required to register with an American consular oQcer at least once a year. It is recommended that the expatriation of American citizens be. assumed when they obtain naturalization in another country; when they engage in the service of another power, or when they remain domiciled in a foreign country for five years withouth taking steps to maintain their American citizenship, American women who marry foreigners should. In the opinion of the committee, be permitted to resume their American citizenship if they make application within one year after the death of their husbands, or after a divorce has been granted. MEW IDEA FOR INVENTORS. Something the World Needs and Would Pay Well For. "Inventors would get untold gobs of free advertising if they would give to their inventions names rymping with some one or other of our 5,000 rhymeless words," an editor said. "Take the word 'silver.' It has no rhyme. It is a stumbling block to every poet The poet uses it at a line's end and then has to destroy the line because there is no rhyme for It. Suppose, as he sought frantically, an invention called the 'dilver appeared. Then, in order not to lose his line, the poet would drag In the new Invention, thus giving It an 'ad' worth $5 to $10, an ad like this: " 'The moonlit sea, & sea of silver, As perfect as a perfect dilver.' "Do you catch the idea? Yet our inventors exercise their best talent, calla new aeroplane a 'wolf to rhyme uith 'coif,' a ner? soundless typewriter a 'gorange to rhyme with 'orange," a home ice-making machine a 'kulf toj A i-t J ' ' niiU tftUAl.

FOUIIDAUCKOFCASH Controller of the Alton Tells of a State of Things" on That Road. THING THAT WAS MOST IN SIGHT Mortgage on a Road Ttat Had Not Yet Been Built. No Money to Carry It on All the Bonds and $13,000,000 Not Visible -Alton Deal i Defended. New York. Feb. 2S. Counsel for the government renewed its attack upon the financial methods of the Ilarrlman group In the Chicago and Alton railroad before the interstate commerce commission when they called Chi. W. Ililllanl, controller of the rond, as a witness. Under examination by Frank n. Kellogg Ililliard testified that he beenme controller in October last, when under the joint arrangement for the management of the property the Rock Island took its turn. Ililliard said that his first task was to find money to carry on the improvements that were under way. There was money in the treasury for current expenses, but not enough to carry on the improvements, which included a cut-off of thirty-four and a half miles of road from a point hear Murrayville to Springfield. Line "Was Mortgaged in Advance. There was not enough money to complete the building of this line, said the witness. "I looked into the question of raising money by mortgage," he continued, "and I discovered that it had already been mortgaged." "Do I understand that this road had been mortgaged before it was built?" asked Commissioner Lane. "Yes, I was told that it was covered by the mortgage of 1000, and there was nothing that could be done except put a second mortgage on it, which would have been poor security," said Ililliard. Money That Never Was Paid. Kellogg then read the mortgage to show the line had been covered by it, and resuming the witness said: "All the bonds were gone. I found from the books that the $13,000,000 had never been paid for the bonds, that the $10,000,000 had never been paid to Stanton for the stock; that the $3,000,000 bad never been paid to Stanton for the road, but that the $20,000,000 In bonds had been turned over to the syndicate, who delivered the stock and the road through; the Intermediary, Mr. Stanton." Ilarriraan Concludes Ilia Testimony. Edward II. Ilarrlman concluded his testimony, and : his examination brought forth nothing of special Importance. Cefore he left the stand Ilarriman again invoked the question of private business as against Interstate commerce, and refused to answer question as to his individual stock transactions. ALTON DEAL IS DEFENDED Member of Kuhn, Ixeb & Co. Follows President Ilarrlman. Ilarriman was succeeded on the stand by Otto II. Kahn, one of the leading members of the firm of Kuhn, Loc-b & Co., which has financed many of the important deals of the Ilarrlman party, and an ex -director of the Union Pacific. Kahn told of the reorganization of the Union Pacific. There was special inquiry as to the commissions paid to the firm of Kuhn, Loeb Sr Co. and the inter-relations of the firm, the witness and Jacob Schiff with the Union Pacific. The witness said the firm had received a commission equal to 5 per cent, on the purchase of Southern Pacific; a commission of 5 per cent, which was divided with other underwriters on the issue of Union Pacific convertible bonds at a reduction of 5 per cent. The witness spiritedly defended the acts of his firm, . and cited instances where it bad sold stocks to the Union Pacific at a figure below the current market. Before leaving the stand Kahn made an extended defense of the Alton transaction based on the methods and conditions of the time. Kahn refused to divulge anything specific as to the business transactions undertaken by his firm in behalf of clients in or outride of the Union Pacific directorate. 17e and his counsel. Paul D.' Cravath. urged the same objection made by Attorney John G. Milburn in behalf of Ilarriman, and added the special plea of the confidential privilege existing between a banker and his clients. The commission ruled against all objections, and the record was in each instance properly completed for reference to the courts. William II. Moore and Daniel G. Reid, directors of the PvOck Island, testified as to the contracts with Ilarrlman and his associates for joint control of the Alton, and that there was no other written or verbal agreement. Moore said that while the contract was still being fully observed its effect was nominal. lie and his associates had expected benefits from thearrancement that had not materialized, and their earlier plans in connection with the project had not been carried out.

ROASTS IIS ENEMIES

Bailey Finally Exonerated by the Texas Legislature with a Strong Minority. POLITICAL DEATH IS PROMISED To All Who Have Attempted to Knock Him Out Makes Charges Against Two of Them and Sajs the Others Are All Populists OiT for Washington. Austin, Tex., Feb. 2S. ry a vote of 70 ta 40 out of a possible 12S votes, eighteen members being absent, United States Senator Bailey was exonerated by the lower house of the Texas legislature on all charges of irregular acts in public life as alleged by representative Cocke, of the lower house, on Jan. 14 last. The senate had already exonerated Bailey without waiting to hear the report of its investigators, and the house did the same thing. The galleries of the house had been crowded with spectators, many ladies being present, and once Bailey's exoneration was assured by the adoption of the majority report declaring that there was nothing in the evidence in any way reflecting upon him, the climax was reached when Bailey appeared and addressed the house. Bailey's Friends Are Happy. The scene attendant upon Senator Bailey's appearance was most dramatic His friends rushed In, shouting and cheering down the center aisle and carried him to the speaker's stand. Bailey, while bitterly abusing those who opposed him, announced that he was going to continue as United States senator from Texas for at least three terms. Ho said in part: "You have Just concluded the most remarkable campaign ever witnessed in any state of the American Union, and be it said to your honor that you have concluded it in accordance with tne will of the sovereign people. He Accuses His Accusers. "The conspirators have been given a wholesome lesson. Never agan will they attempt it within this generation. Never again will they wear the honors of Texas Democracy in their life. Such men would betray a republic If Hessians were for hire. The leader of the contest was a man who has gambled with negroes and if he attempts to deny it 1 will prove It on him. One of them was convicted of embezzlement, and yet he is here drawing his cloak about him saying that he cannot keep the Democratic commandments. MAKES AX ATTACK ON HEARST Says the Gotham Editor Is the Cause of It All. "These are hard words and I intend them to be. I wish I had wrords of hate with which to criticise them. See what they have done. They hare lied about me. Their martyr is Hearst who led his fight against Texas. The leader In this fight is the man who had this telegram published lying on the legislature, claiming that it was corrupted, by wine, women and song. Ilearst has his emissaries and agents in the Texas legislature today. This Ilearst campaign meant that they want to eliminate men like me and John Sharp Williams and place men like John Duncan, "If I live not one of these men shall ever hold office in Texas again, as I shall devote my time to see that they don't get in. This crowd voted today as they did upon thefirst ballot, against me. How many of these men were like Hawkins, wTho risked his office on his conviction, and he lost it? If these others had the convictions and courage of Hawkins there would not have been a single vote against my vindication here today. They seek to destroy my usefulness, but thank God I am too far above them for them to hurt "Out of the forty men who voted against my exoneration not more than four will be back here next session. Not one half of them will be in the Democratic ranks at that time. They will go back totheFopulist party, where they belong." Bailey leaves at once for Washington, where he goes to take the oath of office as senator on March 4, having been elected to that position by a vote of the legislature cast on Jan. 22, and while the investigation was progressing. Castro Is Getting Detter. Washington, Feb. 2S According to a letter received at the Venezuelan legation from Dr. Faul, Venezuelan secretary of state, dated Feb. 10, the surgeons had made a complete examination of Fresident Castro and found that he was making progress, the wound caused by an operation healing satisfactorily. Wreck on the Wabash. Mexico, Mo.. Feb. 28.
