ALLURING COLOR PLAN
Black and White Setting for
day-Colored Monnrchs of
the Highways
' ''GrcAtl" Is the exclnmntlon of every
Alio who passes through the door of Con
vention Hull and views the loth iiiinti.il
Automobile show of t'liilnilclphln. More
trmn 1 0,000 pcrcon.i hnvo visited the show
and It Is estimated hy nfUclats of thoAu
tomobllo Trnd A&soclntlon, tinder whose I
auspices the show Is lie I nt? held, that nil ,
previous attendance records will ho
broken.
"Tho Philadelphia show beats the N'cw
Tork show of last week to a frazzle." said
President l'algo, of the t'alRC-Detiolt Mo
oter Company today. "It is not so large.
but It Is a real show.
"There Is plenty of room nnd every iIiiiir
Is much moro nrtlstlc." And tho famous
automobile designer glanced at tho l'f"
size frloza Just above the Knllery Imlmni
Which depicts Orcrlan maids In an
ancient dance. The tnnlds. It must bo
said, are very artistically garbed In tho
briefest of tunics.
The Color scheme at the show for the
most part Is black nnd white, but it is
by no means so gloomy iih It sounds. It
Is a color scheme that sets off to the
greatest advantage the sparkling scarlets,
greens, purples and what-nots of tho
hugo motors. Then them Is plenty of
bright colored bunting twined about tho
booths. And not the least of the bright
display arc the vnrl-colorcd lights which
wink and glow like Jewels In nn Oriental
mantel.
L.AnOE FOUNTAIN IN CUNTIIK.
In the centre of tho hall n largo foun
tain given n woodland effect to tho show,
with pine trees grouped nbout to iepit
ent the forest. Tho llguro of a maid,
modeled after one of the ancient master
pieces which have been unearthed In mod
ern times, stands In the wn" r nnkle-dep
and flings water to the c .In?. She Is
supported by a cast of plaster wnter
nymphs whose blase expressions are won
dering what It's all about. Uesldo the
fountain are several low-hung white c.irs
that look exactly like bathtubs In their
watery surroundings.
From this centrepiece the booths radiate
In all directions, It Is a slmplo mutter 'o

show In placing artistic column with the
name of the car on a, sign. Bowing, m-rui-Injr,
hdndsome salesmen are gathered be
hind the nlckci'-platcd "tils which guard
most of the exhibits. Hero and there a
salesman particularly endowed with "tho
Rift of gab" stands on n chair cxortlng
the throng with such fire anil passion tint
the crowd of listeners Is almost moved
to, cheers at the end of each passionate
outburst.
"I ask you," whooped ono today "havo
you ever .seen a chassis to boat this one?"
And hov mnged his fist, down on tho poor
chnssls with such force as .almost to
wreck It.
"Nol1' ;Kc crowd' Is moved to reply.
CAns "iN.vAnus" ox display.
Tho Inmost "Innards" of tho cars nro
laid bare in nearly every display to tho
gaping throng. Olnss plates have been
prepared In most cases to provide a cross
section vlnw of the bearings In action,
while tiny lights Inside make things still
more clearly visible.
The most noticeable Improvement in tho
new 1918 models Is the tendency to lighten
the motors "wherever posslblo by the uso
of aluminum and rearrangement' of the
parts so as to distribute tho wclghV more
evenly. On many of tho curs tho
cylinders have been cast in a solid piece.
On the Marmon 1916 cars even the fenders
are of aluminum, while much of tho body

The straight lines which most of the
models present make tho modish cars
oven mora stream-lino In effect than last
year. Nearly every car has some feature
In Its engine, brand new this year, that
Is claimed to bo revolutionary. Sules
meu even shoot their cuffs 'nnd straighten
their ties as they attempt to Imp-ess
this point on tho listener. "Hit of the
show" and "revolutionize" are the two
expressions that overy model salesman
haH ut his tongue's end. There aren't
any "Texas leaguers" or scratch hits.
Everything's a home-run at least accord
ing to each wax-mustached and bc-dla-inonded
gludlator behind tho rails.

Somo of the cms, however, really were
more fought over than others, though
each received plenty of attention. Tho
moat expensive car nt the show is tho
Hlmplcx-Crano "rt," which Is valued at
$7300. It is u "thunder chariot. ' nnd no
mistake, The cost Is llgured more In the
engine than in the body. When It takes
flight there Isn't u cur inude that is as
sweet nnd true, aecordlug to 3. S. Thorn
ton, manager of the Simplex exhibit.
The next costliest car Is a Locomobile
model limousine, with u folding top. Its
market price Is WOO. Mr. George Wid
ened owns one of the Simplex models nnd
Mr, Henry Dlsstou announced his inten
tion, at the show, of buying one like
wise. One of the Locomobile has been
old and several are "floating."
A- large throng was guthered around
the Packard display today. Two cars
that were In the New York exhibit ar
rived and squeezed heart throbs and
ejaculations from those standing about.
One is a roadster done up In battleship
gray over 'the hood, and "turtlo" buck.
The body Is of black, with a very hund
aome scarlet design on the doors. Be
low the feuder-llne the color Is white.
The wheels also are white. The whole
effect of the car is summery and sug
gests white sands and dainty feminine
frocks.
Over against this car Is set a cluster of
cars each more elaborate than the other.
There Is a limousine, the front seats of
Which are done In patent leather, The

It is a Case. It glories in a magnificent

dous, and physicians feel that they know
n great deal regarding these dlscnscs spe
clllcally. Put one thing they do not know, ono
of the most prominent of tho physicians
said today. Tout Is the reason why epi
demics of grip and pneumonia occur every
now and then t 'nke their heavy toll of
life
Although the members of the commls-
slon named hy Doctor Krusen nro nmong
the most skilful and learned physicians
In this city, known ns a centre of medical
learning, they are thus far at a loss to
know Just how to go nhout the solution
of tho problem. All of them feel that It
will require u great amount or work, nnd
nonn of them Is willing to speculato
on what the outcome will be. Other
physicians, realizing the eminence of the
men delegated to this work by Doctor
Kruscn, believe that their report, when
made, will bo an Important contribution
to tho literature of the subject.
Doctor Kruscn, In announcing today
the time of the first meeting, declared
that the commission would nttnek the
problem from u purely scientific view
point, with especial attention to local
conditions. If the physicians succeed in
establishing the cause of tho recurrence
of tho epidemic, however. It Is felt that
they will have accomplished something
of nation-wide, even world-wide. Import
ance. Tho present epidemic is not con
llned to Philadelphia, hut is raging In
all qf the large cities of the country.

medicine In the University of Pennsyl
vania, Is chairman of the commission.
Dr. Hobart A. Hare, professor of ther
apeutics at Jefferson Medlcnl College nnd
a member of the commission, said today:
"The question to bo determined is Jut
what micro-organism Is responsible i'or
the epidemic-." He said It would be tllll'
cult to say when u report would bo made
on tho subject. While It appeared to bo
u simple problem, he declared, InvestWt
tlou will require considerable detail work
and may take considerable time.
All of the members of the commission
are eminent in clinical nnd laboratory re
search work. The city laboratories will
be at their dlsposul and they will be aid
ed In overy wny by the Ilureau of Health.

Presbyterian Church 200 j let in Serious Condition
Students Present
PH1NCETON, N. J.. Jan. ll.-P.llly
Sunday this morning held n meeting In
the First Prehyterlan church here. A
good crowd Including moro than 200 stu
dents henrd the evangelist deliver his
sermon on "Love."
f'nntr.irv In r.vnr.ftnt Imiu Mr. SillnilllV t
did not criticise tho officials of the unl-
verslty on account of v refusal which
they gave him lust year to speak In Alex
nnder Hall.
Mr. Kundny's sermon was from ChrlBt's
Sermon on the Mount, "Lovo your ene
mies." Ho said that love was tho ruling
factor In the running of the world. "Too
many people are long on religion nnd
short on love. Religion does not neces
sarily consist In going to church on Stin
day, but In quietly doing good. To go to
church In a Packard Instead of a Ford
won't get us assurance of passing from
! death to life.
After the sermon a few of tho students
ndvnnccd to shako Mr. Sunday's hand,
but there was no "sawdust trail." Tho
evangelist returned to Trenton Immediate
ly after the service.

DECLARES GIRL

Hospital and Is said to be on a fair way
to recovery.
"Yes, I will marry him wbrr ho gets
well," said petite Miss Beck today, her
eyes misty and happy, "If he will glvo up
traveling. 1 should not like a husbnnd
who does not stay at home. That was
the cause of all tho trouble his business
calling him out of town."
While she spoko n policeman brought a
note. It was from Doctor Klrby. at the
hospital. Rho ran to a comer of the room
nnd read It. Then sho did what no one,
under the circumstances, can smile nt
she kissed It nnd tucked It away In her
bosom.
"We're going down to seo him this
afternoon, mother nnd I," she resumed.
"I LOV13 HIM NOW."
"I am terribly humiliated at this no
toriety, but I feel that ns It's all known
It's best to be frank and open about it.
I do not think that It was a dlsgruce for
him to try to kill himself, but It shows
a trait in his charncter which very few
young men hnve. It shows him to bo
a noble, sensitive, tender-hearted young
man. Thnt's Just what he Is. I love him
now."
Mr. and Mrs, Joseph Heck, the girl's
parents, ngreed that he Is a "very nice
young man."
Doctor Klrby came to Philadelphia
from Hedford City, Vo., a little more
than n year ago and shortly afterward
met Miss Deck. He fell head over heels
In love with the neat little miss and she
liked him. nut she did not return his
love, although he became a regular and
very ardent caller.
He was Insanely Jealous ot attentions
that other "fellows" paid her. This and
the fact that his practice he Is a chirop
odist took him away on long trips at
times led tn a quarrel last night when
he pressed his suit. She rejected him,
To top It nil, her older sister, Mrs. Hattle
Fair, showed him a "poison-pen" letter.
Rejected and dejected, ho stumbled home
ward through the darkness,
LEFT TWO NOTES.
Doctor Klrby left two notes, one tc
Miss Heck and another to his father,
P. M. Klrby. of Bedford City, Va presU
dent of the Virginia Land Company.
The letter to Miss Beck Is as follows;
"Dear Rose This Is the end ot which
I told you this evening. I know you will
be glad to have me out of your's and
Tom's way, Oh, how that letter hurt me
the dirty, lying; cur. But. I guess you
feel as if It was none of my affair.
"I can only say that my love for you
has been greater than the whole world.
You don't believe me, but I swear that I
mean It. Please forgive me for any past
sorrow I may have caused you and Just
forget, I have forgiven evefy one that
has hurt me In any way,
"I know that your mother Is not to
blame for what she did. Always remem
ber that no matter where. you go or what
you do, it Is possible for a spirit to get to
any one. Mine will be with you.
"I don't mean to haunt you only to
bejn your heart Oh, the love, the great
passion that It would be on earth. I
have always loved you. Even In death
I will love you. You broke my spirit
when you let your father tell me you
were through with me, but my heart was
broken by that letter. Oood-by.
"P. S. Love to you in life and In
death. No one knows but you how close
we were In life. As I pen these lines
It don't seem like I am standing on the
threshold ot the great Beyond. Last
week I would have scoffed at the thought,
but a change can take place In seven
days. Don't worry over me. Settle down
and always remember my last thought
were ot you. I have misplaced your pic
tures, but your face Is engraved into
my heart and souL Ktjrards to Joe
and Ed."

LITTLE HOPE FOR GIRL
IN DOUBLE SHOOTING
in Hospital
There Is little hope of the. recovery of
Nellie Conway, It! years old. of S10 Union
street, who was shot by her sweetheart,
John Poller, SO years old. because she re
fused it reconciliation. Tho lovelorn
J J'011"1 killed hlmselr after shofitlng the
girl. ALthe Prosbytctlnn Hospital, where
tho girl was tnken, It was learned today
that she was In an unconscious c fi-
tlon.
Little credence Is given by the police
to tho first report that the suicide nnd
attempted murder was a suicide pact. It
was said that Roller called on the girl
on Sntunluy night, nnd they quarreled.
Last night the young man returned to
the houso nnd saw tho girl. He had a
letter addressed to his mother In 1,1s
pocket already written, the police say.
It Is their belief that ho wished that ho
and tho girl might be burled together
It he had killed her. The girl was shot
back of the ear last night u.'-er she
had struck a match and leached to light
the gns.
Tho letter found In Ttollor's pocket lends
ns follows:
."Dear mother 1 am sorry that I havo
to lcavo In this way, but Nclile drove me
to tho dogs, and 1 thought I would end
It all, as I was never no good and you
know It. This was the best way. I was
fired off the road and you know that
me and the old man could not hit It.
"We want to bD buned together, and I
hope you will do me a favor by doing
so. Don't worry about me. Mama, as
I was never no good anyway nnd better
off dead. Will can havo tbe watch. Good
by. mother, nnd good luck to you.

hood. .Miss Conway's mother died a few
weeks ago. and since then the girl had
been living nt tho Union ctrcct address
which Is tho home of Rollers sister-in-law.
Roller called last night and appenred
to be In cheerful mood. Shortly before
11 o'clock Mrs. Roller went upstairs to
call her husband, who Is a policeman.
Roller had been employed by u rallrond
company and It Is said he was recently
discharged.
A. I.
DU PONT OUSTED
AS VICE PRESIDENT
Continued from Fuse One
nunl meeting of the board of directors
Inst March, but at a meeting held yes
terday his appointment as a director and
member of tho Finance Committee was
annulled and he was removed from these
offices."
Offservera of the battle ot millions which
Is being wnked in tho du Pont family
point to the fact that tho lines are now
drawn to a finish fight. On one side is
Alfred I. du Pont and the members of
the old, family and on the other is the new
branch headed by PJerre du Pont. Tho
fight began last March when Tlerro and
12 of the 21 directors of the E. I. du Pont
do Nemours Company purchased the J14..
000,000 stock holdings of T. Coleman du
Pont, These men formed the holding com
pany, and, according to the bill, Induced
J, Plerpont Morgan & Co. to finance the
purchase of the stock. This stock has ad
vanced In value until today It represents
more than $50,000,000.
Philip F. du Pont, of Merlon, Pa., re
cently filed a. bill In equity 'In the court,
alleging that Pierre du Pont, as president
of the company, and the directors used
"Inside Information" to acquire the stock,
knowing that huge munition orders were
coming from the Allies. He asserted that
the purchase of the stock was a fraud
and that It should be turned back to the
treasury of the company. Alfred I. du
Pont yesterday petitioned the couit to
Join in this suit,
DISTRIBUTION OF STOCK.
The Intervention petition of Alfred I. du
Pont shows that he held 37.76J' shares of
stock In the B. I. du Pont de Nemours
Powder Company. On September 4, 1915.
this company was "reorganiled" Into E.
I. du Pont de Nemours & Company with
a capital stock of 1240,000,000, or twice that
pf the company it replaced.
This Increased capitalization gave each
stockholder In the old company two- shares
of stock In the new organization for
each share hejd In the K. I. du Pont de
Nemours Powder Company.
On this basis It is seen that Alfred I.
du Pont's holdings In the present powder
company are j.63t shares of common
stock, or almost 10 per cent, of the entire f
common stock issue ot the corporation.

ULRICH SAYS HE WILL
RETURN TO HIS FAMILY
Continued from Page One
complaint In Common Picas Court No. 1,
but tho case never came to trial as the
woman could not bo found. The most
curious part of the case Is thnt Mrs.
Pyfer nt nbout that tlmo came to Phlla-
.Inlnhlri nmt atnrfrwl nm.AnrllnitB nnnlnst
! her husband for nonsupport, but wlion-
cver this case came up sho was not
present nnd could not be found,
When ho heard that his wife had visited
this city, Pyfer hastened nbout to tho
homes of her various relatives, but al
ways missed her and she left tho city to
rejoin Ulrich. Why she returned to bring
n charge that she could not hopo to prove
Is a mystery.
Mrs. Pyfer again came to this city
to visit relatives nbout two months
ago. She made inquiries nbout Pyfer,
and was told of tho loss of his fortune.
It Is believed that this visit was
prompted by her belief that Ulrich was
golni; to return to his wlfo nnd four
children, ns he hnd written to his wife,
saying ho wns coming home, about six
weeks before Christmas.
Ulrich's sister, Mrs. 13, Fisher, who 13
living nt the homo of Dr. John S. Parks,
2724 West Glrard avenue, telephoned to
police headquarters today, nsklng nhout
tho condition of tho brother. Sho wns
told that tho chnnccs of life, nnd death
wcro evenho has a fighting, chance. .
