Alllanco Is the "driving forco" be

gress was made today by Dr. Charles J
Hoxamcr, of this city, president of the al
liance, when shown a copy of the allega
tions made ln tho New York World today.
"Tho story Is a mass of half truths gar
bled together In such a fashion -- to give
tho nppearancc of being n connected ac
count," he said "Its object Is obviously
to Influence Congress against the Gore
nnd McLcmoro resolutions."
Doctor Hcxnmer disclaimed nny connec
tion with T. L. Mnrsalls, n New York real
estate operator, who Is named as the
"principal lobbyist" for the resolutions.
LKTTKU 18 GCNflND
"I have nbsolutcly no connection with
this man Marsalls." ho said. "The tolter
which I sent to Mr. Alphonso G. Koelblc,
of New York, nnd which Is printed In this
story. Is genuine. It Is a copy of the let
ter which I wrote to the various branches
of tho alliance urging them lo ask their
Senators and Congressmen to support the
resolutions which Senator Gore introduced
In the Senate. Theso bllls prohibit the
passage of American citizens on belliger
ent ships, trnfllc In contraband nnd tho
use of national bank reservcii In foreign
loans, which furiously Interfere with or
damngo the American merchant mnrlno
service.
"There Is nothing Illegitimate about the
letter. It represents my views on theso
innttcrs. I havo always been ngalnst
sending money and contraband to belliger
ents, because our country can make bettor
uso of them Itself."
Doctor Hcxnmcr said that ho had not
seen tho Goro resolutions until tho suh
stnnce of them appeared In tho news
papers'. Ho laughed when told tho story
In tho New York World filled nearly throo
pages. '

statement, If 1 consider It necessary,"
said Doctor Hexamer He declined to
comment further on the charges until he
liad read them through, but added thnt It
wns apparently useless to make state
ments for newspapers hostile to one's
views.
"They turn, twist nnd garble one's
statements in n wonderful fashion." ho
said, laughingly. "They also publish un
truths. I remember particularly the pub
lished account of how I was asked to
leae -the French llullcllng at the San
Francisco BipoMtlon Init car because I
wore the German colors In my button
hole. At a matter of fact. I wore the
emblem of the alliance, which contains
no German colors, and I had a most on

building."

From I'ubllc Ledier of Febiuir; 27, 1914
A typical scene in freight yards in Eastern
cities thousands of cars waiting to be
unloaded. Railroads are overtaxed in han
dling the unprecedented volume of traffic.
Autocar owners haul goods easily and
quickly from city to city without delay.
Autocar Chassis, $1650
IN NORMAL times, more than 3000 American business houses are finding
the Autocar the vmost efficient and economical delivery vehicle there is.
Now, when freight congestion is so acute along the Atlantic Seaboard,
hundreds of these Autocars are hauling goods from city to city.
The Nassau Smelting and Refining Company,
of W. 29th street, New York city, says:
"The freight congestion has been a serious
handicap to us, but we havefound a remedy. Re
cently it became necessary to send a consignment
of material from our factory to a city 60 miles
away. It was shipped by freight, and after being
three weeks on thetroad was not yet delivered. The
concern to which we shipped called us up and said
it was absolutely necessary to have the material at
once. We hired a motor truck, loaded some of the
material wanted on it, and had it in our customer's
hands that afternoon, We then consulted the
Autocar Company with reference to their trucks
and on March 2 placed an order with them."
Parteymueller & Gloekler, manufacturers of
showcases and store fixtures, 3-5 Laight st, New
York city, say:
"A few weeks ago we were fitting up a large
drug store in Germantown, Philadelphia. Show
cases and other fixtures were shipped by rail.
When they arrived much of the glass was broken.
It became necessary to send 4000 pounds of glass
over immediately. The workmen were waiting for
the material. Freight under present conditions
would have probably taken weeks. We loaded the
glass on our Autocar at 5 o'clock in the morning
and it arrived in Philadelphia at the place of our
contract early in the afternoon. The car was back
in New York that night, ready for business the next
morning."
Autocars have standardized delivery service. For long or short hauls they have
proved their value to every line of business.
