8 DIRTY CUBS TELL • TELEGRAPH THINGS So Declares Vice-President Koons Speaking of Socialist Di rector Rumpus While no formal resolutions of pro test in the matter of the organization of the Board of Directors of the Poor were presented at the meeting of the Central Democratic Club last night, there were some objections offered, one member asking President Jones what had been done In the matter. He replied that as he was not a mem ber of the Board of Poor Directors, the members would have to ask the board. He counseled harmony In the interest of the Spring primaries. Vice-President McClellan Koons de nounced as dirty curs certain members, whom he accused of "telling every thing to the Harrisburg Telegraph." He had no sooner taken his seat when another member suggested that if the vice-president knew of anybody car rying news to a Republican newspaper he should submit the facts and have such traitors thrown out of the club. This ended the incident Harmony the Pica Resignations of half a dozen promi nent Democrats were submitted and Mr. .Tones again made an appeal for harmony and suggested that a committee be appointed to con fer with the resigning members in order to induce them to remain with the club. An important outgrowth of the meeting is a movement to organize what will be known as the Dauphin County Democratic League in the interests of Michael J. Ryan, of Phila delphia, for Governor.

Shadow The new Partin-Palmer car. made in Detroit, is just now attracting much attention from dealers and others who keep posted in automobile progress. There have been some surprising de velopments in cars of the SI,OOO class during - the past two years, but the limit seems to be reached in this hand some, roomy, six-passenger, thtrty elght-horse-power automobile for $975. S. H. Daddow. of St. Clair, has spent considerable time during the past year at the Partin-Palmer factory and offices in Detroit and Chicago and in subject ing the car to severe tests on bod roads and steep grades in this and nearby counties. His tests qnd investigation were so satisfactory that he has now concluded arrangements with the fac tory to represent them as distributing agent for the greater part of astern Pennsylvania. Mr. Daddow was at the New York Show and will be at the Philadelphia Auto Show during the coming week. Showing of Reos, Nationals, Haynes and Stevens-Duryea The Heo Motor far Company exhibit ed a flve-passenger. thlrty-horse-power touring ear, a two-passenger thirty horse-power roadster, a five-passenger thirty-horse-power limousine and a 1914* thirty-horse-power working chassis. It also exhibited unassembled parts of the transmission, rear axle, clutch, brakes, steering gear and othei vital parts of the 1914 Reo cars. A seven-passenger limousine, a live and a seven-passenger touring car and a roadster were on exhibition at the Haynes booth. These cars were equipped with the Vulcan electric gear shaft, a device which not only abolishes the hand shift lever, but which in addi tion greatly simplifies the operation and control of the car. A feature of the Stevens-Duryea ex liiibt was the new and unusually strik ing color scheme of the cars on display. The motif is a harmony in three shares of brown—a new note of beauty and luxury. Three cars were shown in shades of brown in combination with black. EIECIFICIITIi OF THE MOTORCYCLE Successful Application of Electric Lighting System to the Indian Machine One of the greatest advances in the motorcycle art this season Is the elec trification of the Indian, as expressed in the 1914 Indian. It Is considered by many the greatest advance In the mo torcycle art since the development of tiie cradle spring frame by the Indian. The equipment on the Two-Sixty and Two-Speed Tourist Standard models, conies already fitted and Inspected by experts and in perfect working order, ready for immediate use, and included in tiie list price represents a saving to purchaser of practically SSO. Plleetric lighting long has been rec ognized as the ideal illuminating sys tem for motorcycles, but not until now has it been successfully applied. The light is far more powerful than that .obtainable from acetylene gas, the bat- I teries have a greater capacity than the I motorcycle gas tank, and the cost of .recharging the batteries is much less than a renewal of-the gas supply. The l weight of the two systems is about equal. As two sets of batteries are furnish ed. and are separately connected to ! the lights, the rider never should be ; without current for lights and signal | operation. The average cost for re | charging the batteries used in the In | dian, Is slight, and as fifteen hours of | light may be expected from each bat i tery when used intermittently, and | 1-Ji hours when used steadily, it is evident that the capacity of each bat tery is ample for fully "50 miles night ' fi i , an< * 'he renewal cost Is neglig ible. In fact, the cost of maintenance j of the electric lighting system is lower than any other. One of the chief factors in the suc cessful application of electric lighting the Indian is the cradle spring frame *2. fork, whose wonderful resiliency affords great protection to the batteries I from road vibration. I A valuable feature of the batteries is I the patented safety vent, which, while | permitting the escape of gas. absolutely ' £ r ?j ent £,_ l ea kage of any of the j tluld. Therefore, on passage over I rough roads or if the machine is upset, . there is no weakening of the batteries by logs of contents, j The entire electrical system is abso- I lutely weatherproof. On the Hendee Special model the bat teries are so connected, that both of them discharge into the electric starter to secure the highest amperage pranking the engine as rapidly as possible. In fact, under maximum op erating conditions the starter will crank the engine at 500 r.p.m., which is raster than any automobile starter. The nominal rating of the electrti starter is 1.5-horse-power. but the power actually develoned is influenced ' by the energy necessary to start the ; engine. The starter has a high over load capacity, and immediately the en gine begins firing the starter auto matically becomes a generator and ! charges the batteries. The generator i is always running while the engine is nrlng, and by means of an automatic I regulator the charge to the batteries ts j predetermined and controlled within saTe limits. When the batteries be come fully charged the surplus is dis sipated. The headlight the Hendee Special i is or twelve-oandle-power, and on other | model?, nine-candle-power. All tail 1 1, . a rjf t*wo-candle-power. Kill son .! Mazda I unjust en bulbs, the best make i obtainable, are used. The ta il light I J hrows a w hito downwanl beam on the I I !i < / ensP Plate, and a red eye to tlie rear. 11 The current consumption Is approxi | mately two amperes per hour, for the entire lighting and signal operation. At six volts the batteries give seventy amperes, and at twelve volts, thirty five amperes for starting. Charging logins at a road speed of twelve miles per hour on hlgrh gear, and at sixteen miles per hour the maximum charge flows to the batteries. The electric starter is seared ap proximately tw<» to nne. and under or j oinary conditions will start the motor . firing when cold in from twelve to fif teen seconds. When the motor is warm, it will commence firing in from three to five seconds. This was the most striking feature Of the Indian exhibit at the New York I Auto show this week. Ten models I were shown, and all of the new features j are included in the models on display at j the West End Kleetric and Cycle Com pany, in this city. Tire Companies Not All Absent From the Show j W hen some of the big tiro com panies refused to exhibit at the auto ■ show it was thought for a time that all (the leaders would follow suit.

Redmond Bought Ten Carloads of Overlands While at the New York Auto Show Andrew Redmond placed his order for ten additional carloads of Overlands to keep pace with the increasing demand. Specifications of the new models of the Overland car, produced by the Willys-Overland Company, of Toledo Ohio, reveal a line applying four body designs to the same chassis construc tion. Most of the changes In the 1914 Overland are in the matter of dimen sions and added equipment. The motor is somewhat larger, with bore and stroke of 4J* and 4% Inches, respec tively,! and has been improved by the adoption of a constant-level, splash lubricating system. The push rods can be removed without disturbing the camshaft, being held in place bv drop forged .-laws. The operation of the push rods Is made almost noiseless bv the use of bronze caps fitted over their tops. Ihe radiator Is of an improved design, with large water spaces j HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH LEUHOFHIIUC COIEIDS ENGINEERS New President of Society of Auto mobile Engineers Organized Cadillac Motor Car Co. At the annual meeting of the So ciety of Automobile Engineers held in New York, January 6, Henry M. Leland. advisory manager of the Ca dillac Motor Car Company, was elected president. Sir. I-eland was born at Danville, Vermont, February 16. 1843. His early life was spent on a farm. Afterwards he completed an apprenticeship with the Knowles Crompton Loom Works at Worcester, Mass., when nineteen years of age. During the Civil War he was engaged in making tools for the manufacture of rifles In the United States Armory at Springfield, Mass. Later he was engaged in similar ca pacities in several New Englnnd plnnts and then became associated with the Hrown it Sharpe Manufac turing Company, of Providence. R. 1.. where he rapidly rose to positions of responsibility, lie remained with them for twenty years, until 1890, when he determined to establish a business of his own and selected Detroit, where he rented a small plant and began the making of special machinery, fine tools, etc. The manufacture of in ternal combustion engines was added about the time motor propelled boats, chiefly naphtha launches, made their appearance. Experiments to produce motor propelled vehicles were also in progress and the Leland & Faul coner Manufacturing Company, of which Mr. Leland was the head, soon became recognized as leaders in the manufacture of gasoline motors. In 1902 Mr. Leland organized the Cadillac Automobile c ompany and in 1905 the Leland & Faulconer Manu facturing Company and the Cadillac- Automobile Company, consolidated their interests, under the name of the Cadillac Motor Car Company, Mr. Le land becoming general manager. He] has been recognized for a number of years as one of the leading men of i the world in affairs mechanical, his fame having spread throughout Eu rope as well as America. His me chanical knowledge, coupled with rare ability as an organizer and as an executive have placed the Cadillac company among the leaders in the motor car industry. While in recent years Mr. Wilfred C. Leland, his son, has become general manager of the Cadillac company, the senior Mr. Le land remains as advisory manager and his activity in the company's affairs has not diminished. Mr. Leland has been since its or ganization an active member of the National Association of Manufactur ers, the National Founders Associa tion, the American Society of Median-1 ical Engineers and the Society of Au tomobile Engineers. He has for years been active in religious, benevolent, business and civic affairs, and was the first president of the Detroit Citi zens League, organized for the bet | torment of matters pertaining to mu- I nicipal government. In view of his pioneership in the motor car industry | and his sterling character, it is but fitting that Mr. Leland be accorded the honor of the presidency of the Society of Automobile Engineers. Morton Came Away From Show With Good Business Robert L Morton, of the Keystone Motor Car Company, went to the New York Show with an pye open fur busi ness. Five appointments with local people at the snow materialized in the salt- of three Chalmers cars. The six-cylinder limousine was prob ably the most attractive ear in the Chalmers exhibit, although the touring car models were attracting as much at- ' tention as in other years. This com pany- makes eight models on two chassis, one four-cylinder and one six cylinder. "Six"-cylinders measure 4x '-2 : "four"-cyllnders measure 4%x3V. Transmission elements Include disk clutch and four-speed gearset in both, with bpvel drive and full-lloatihg rear axles. The Chalmers Light Six was tin newest feature of this exhibit. This is a new model that commanded a great deal of favorable comment, and intend ed for those who prefer a six but with les-s power than the regular size. Model twenty-four, the regulation size gf the six, received a glowing tribute from one of the leading automobile neglneers of the country, whe he stated that this Chalmers Six was among the finest pieces of automobile mechanism he had ever seen. These models will also he shown in full at the Philadelphia show for the convenience of those who at tend from this territory. .FIRST SHOW SAI.K A CADILLAC Twelve minutes after the opening of the New York auto show Saturday, January 3, the first sale of the exhibit was closed when Mr. Percy Rocke feller placed his order for the hand some gray-finished Cadillac inside | drive limousine which is on exhibition. The car will be delivered to Mr. Rockefeller at the close of the show.

Once more the manufacturers of mo tor cars have gathered, shown their wares to the assembled thousands and gone back home to resume their work of supplying the great national de mand. And the public Is again dis cussing, as In the years gone by, the distinctive features which the event emphasized as refinements In the cur rent models. There can be no disagreement re garding the dominant feature of the. 1914 show. It was pre-eminently a show of "Sixes." The "Fours" were there in numbers and with all the electriul equipment and other improvements whicl\ have come to be regarded as standard de velopments in design. Hut the "Sixes" were shown in a proportion altogether greater than ever before and at prices which plainly showed that the Amer ican "Six" is no longer a prerogative of the very rich but Is now available at a price which puts "Six" flexibility, power and luxury well within the reach of the man of moderate means. The minimum result in price was at tained by the Studebaker Corporation which' showed a handsome, powerful six-cylinder touring car, seating seven passengers and priced at 1,575. This model, furnished in three body types touring, landau-roadster and sedan — was a center of interest both for show visitors and members of the trade. The latter class pointed out the fact that the Studebaker "Six" is merely a natural development of the wide demand for "Sixes" which has made it possible for one of the leading manufacturers to apply to a six-cyl inder car the same principles of great volume production which have result ed in the low priced "Fours" with which all motorists are familiar. Unlike Studebaker, which maintains that there Is a definite function for both "Sixes" and "Fours" and which builds both types, some manufactur ers have even more radically empha sized the modern trend by building and exhibiting only "Sixes" this year. This has. of course, still further in creased the proportion of "Sixes" shown. , Aside from the fact that the 1911 event was a "Six" show, it will do down into history as the first in which electric starting and lighting has be come recognized as standard equip ment. Pneumatic, gas and spring de vices for starting were conspicuous b> their absence. All the manufacturers seem to have come to the same opinion regarding the use of electrlcltj not only for starting and lighting but also for ignition purposes. it was said at the show that no less than 100,000 cars would be built thit year, in which ignition is drawn from the storage battery, instead of the old time magneto. Notable Cadillac Display Attracts Many at Show At the Cadillac booth some novel features in addition to the two-speed rear axle are to be seen. These in clude a hinged steering wheel, which, by folding down against the steering column, permits easier ingress at that aide of the car. and i> carburetor heat ed electrically with the object of se curing beter vaporization of the gaso "one of the new Cadillac creations whic his being exhibited this year for the first time is an inside drive limou sine. , . . The car, which is designed es pecially for family purposes, obviates the necessity for a chauffeur, all of the passengers occupying the single compartment. It seats five persons comfortably, three on the rear seat and one alongside the driver. This is the car that was purchased by Percy Rockefeller the opening day of the show.
