Charges that there had been inten

have been pressed to an early con

Department could proceed with its
contracts for maintenance of State
main highways were made by Auditor
General John C. Bell in the Dauphin
county court late yesterday during the
argument in the first round of the
mandamus to compel Auditor General
A. W. Powell to pay to the highway
commissioner revenue from automo

motion made by Mr. Powell to quash
the mandamus on the ground that the
Attorney General had no right to act
as relator or to bring the action. It

SATURDAY EVENING,
been brought by the highway com
missioner.
Mr. Bell argued that he had the
right in the performance of a public
duty because if the highway commis
sioner did not get the income as pro
vided by the act of 1913 the roads
would suffer. Ex-Attorney General
M. Hampton Todd, of Philadelphia,
and John M. Freeman, of Pittsburgh,
who appeared for Powell and State
Treasurer R. K. Young, asserted that
there was nothing to justify such ac
tion on the part of the Attorney Gen
eral.
Throughout the Attorney General
and his predecessor crossed swords
and when Mr. Todd commented on
"indecent haste" Mr. Bell declared
that every day was valuable and as
serted that although required to file
an answer by April 6 the respondent
had not yet done so. When Mr. Free
man asked leave to file a brief next
week 4«lr. Bell declared it a dilatory
move and said there had been inten
tional delays and that roads were
suffering. Mr. Freeman replied that
he had only gotten into the case ten
days ago, the Attorney General said
that was a poor excuse.
Mr. Bell demanded that the briefs
be submitted and the answer filed. It
was declared that the answer was not
complete.
"Why, two answers have been drawn
and submitted to us" interjected W. M.
Hardest, deputy attorney general.
The court then notified Mr. Free
man to have his brief on the motion
to quash filed by Monday and the long
delayed answer to be in hand Tuesday.
He fixed May 1 as the date for argu
ing the main question, if he refuses
the motion to quash.
MOTORCYCLE FOR INSPECTORS
The efficiency expert or the Civic and
Commerce Association of Minneapolis,
Minn., has recommended the purchase
of a number of motorcycles for use of
the medical inspectors of the city. In
his investigations the expert found
that at present the inspectors spent
about half of their time walking or
waiting for cars, and that with the aid
of motorcycles six men could accom
plish as much work as twelve could
otherwise do.

HIT OFFICIALS
CHOOSE CHALMERS
Men Associated With Same Rail
road Select Same Type of
Six Motor Car
To judge from the sales of Chal
mers "Sixes" to officials of the Chicago
and Northwestern Railroad in Chicago
this year, one might suppose the auto
mobile is becoming a dangerous rival
of the private car as a means of trans
portation for the rulers of the rails.
"We are going to-ask the board of
directors of tho Chicago and North
western to change the name of the
road to the Chalmers and Northwest
ern," says James Levy, president of
the Chalmers Motor Conymny of Illi
nois.
Levy bases his claim for a change
of name on the sale of Chalmers Mas
ter "Sixes" to seven officials of the
railroad.
Cars have been sold to W. A. Gard
ner, president of the road; R. H. Alsh
ton, vice-president; L. A. Robinson,
comptroller; H. R. McCollough, traffic
manager; L. S. Carroll, purchasing
agent; Robert Quail, superintendent of
motive power, and M. M. Kirkman, a
former vice-president. It is said that
so many Chalmers cars can be seen in
Iront of the Chicago and Northwestern
offices at any time of the day that it
might be easily mistaken for a branch
of the Chalmers company.
"When men of this type all pur
chase cars of one make." says Levy,
"it certainly speaks well for the car.
It is a well-known fact thta railroad
men are sticklers when it comes to
buying anything in the mechanical
line. Any dealer in railroad supplies
will tell you that before a bill of goods
is sold to the Chicago and Northwest
ern road it is put to the severest tests
and is given to most rigid kind of in
spection. Mr. Carroll, purchasing agent
of the road, is one of the strongest
boosters and Is never tired of singing
the praises of Chalmers cars. He has
even gone so far as to offer his services
to the company at various times to
give demonstrations and can give as.
strong a selling talk for Chalmers
cars as any of my salesmen."
Mr. Gardner, president of the road,
and Mr. McCollough, traffic manager,
own Master "Six" limousines and the
other officers own touring cars.
Jackson Strong Points
Reviewed by Local Agent
DeWitt A. Fy, associated with P. H.
Keboch in the sale of Jackson cars in
tills territory, commenting on the prin
cl?£Lfe2^ures of the models, said:
The Olympic Forty at SI3SS gives a
new economical significance to the
term "reasonable price,' for it pos
sesses more features of design and con
struction that have been developed and
met with the approval of the buying
public than have been found in a car
jit its price. You may even compart?
t to cars up to SISOO, and it still more
than holds it own. An evamination
will prove that this forty horse power
car at $1385 is what you would define
as right.
!: uI L? orty horse power motor is
fitted to this car, ample to take it fullv
loaded wherever a vehicle can get trac
tion or where any reasonable driver
would risk going. The experience and
knowledge of twelve years of motor
building gives Jackson motors that ir
resistible power, for which there is 'no
hill too steep or no sand too deep'
Jackson motors are power savers. Their
big quick acting valves permit easv
and free passage of the gases, and th'e
use of high quality metals saves the
motors from wear.
Jackson cars are safe in emergen
cies as well as under the ordinarv con
dition of road travel. Jackson brakes
are big and powerful enough to lock
the wheels instantly. The motor con
trol is so instanly responsive, s per
fectly flexible that no contingency is
likely to arise from which a Jackson
driver cannot quickly and safely escape.
Kven In a position of eanger, where the
driver mifrht get rattled and stall his
motor, the electric cranking system is
Immediately at hand, ready to take up
Its dty and carry the car and occu
pants out of danger.
Rlevpn years of increasing* success

All their interests and Ideals are cen

the Jackson reputation Is their con
stant aim."

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
SIX HUNDRED MILLION
FOR AUTOS THIS YEAR
Immense Output to Supply Demand
Refutes Assertion That It Is
a Mushroom Growth
"And still there are some people
who insist that the automobile indus
try is a mushroom growth, subject to
the slightest variations in business
conditions and likely to take a fatal
slump on the very shortest notice,"
said John N. Willys, president of the
Willys-Overland Co., of Toledo, Ohio,
after reading- a report made recently
by a committee at a meeting of the
Chicago Association of Commerce.
"To such peoj)le I can only say one
thing: Read the report. There is
enough information in this single
document to set at rest the fears of
even the most ignorant and the most
confirmed pessimist. And the infor
mation is backed by the indisputable
evidence of figures, too.
"The report shows that approxi
mately $000,000,000 will be spent in
this country during 1914 for automo
biles. The developments of past years
show us that the percentage of buyers
who cannot afford to purchase cars la
so small as to be unimportant. In
view of this fact, the total shows a
pretty good refutation of the claim
that any money that might better be
spent for bread is going into automo
biles.
"Here's another set of figures that
are interesting. The report shows
tht the combined horsepower of all
the motors built in the United States
this year is practically 83 times as
great as the 310,000 horsepower de
veloped by the great waterpower dam
at Keokuk, lowa. I know these fig
ures are correct for the 50,000 Over
lands which are being built in our
Toledo plant alone have a combined
horsepower over hYs times as great
as the dam.
"The State of California has an au
tomobile to every twenty-five inhabi
tants registered in the Secretary of
State's office. In a single year we ex
port $33,000,000 worth o£ automobiles.
New York State alone has more cars
registered than are in use In Germany
and France combined; and both these
countries have always been regarded
as pioneers in the production of mo
tor-propelled vehicles.
"All these figures are authentic.
There are scores of other compilations
which might be made, showing that
hundreds of thousands of people
throughout the country are making a
better living out of the automobile in
dustry than they could otherwise hope
for. And still some of our professional
'glooiners' claim they can see rocks
ahead. It is to laugh."
Hupmobile Efficient
As a Business Producer
"Businessmen In general are Just
beginning to realize how much they
owe to the automobile," said E. C.
Campbell, of the California Corrugat
ed Culvert Company, of Los Angeles.
Mr. Campbell has Just compiled a set
of records showing the up-keep of.st
of his Hupmobiles for the last seveVal
years and asserts that while the real
good to his business can be braced di
rectly to motor cars, that thß greater
proportion of benefits cannot be ac
curately determined.
"Before the advent of the automo
bile, or toefore they were at a price
where they were practicable, our sales
men were forced to ues trains and
horses in their work," said Mr. Camp
bell. "Necessarily, with waits at
Junctions and slow-moving animals
this meant a huge loss of time.
"A few years ago the California
Corrugated Culvert Company put on
two roadsters. These cars were chosen
because it was thought better to ex
periment with a low-priced machine,
which would deliver enough power to
get into the inaccessible districts
where our .vork leads us.
"The experiment was entirely satis
factory and the Hupmobiles did their
tasks so well that we added three
more of the same make to the fleet.
We expected that later we would get
heavier motor ears, but to-day all five
Hups are still on the- Job.
"Our figures show that the cars
have developed our business as noth
ing else could. With a sales force but
little larger, wo are handling several
times as much trade as before the ad
vent of the Hupmobiles, and the only
expense we are put to is for gasoline
and oil.
"This Is more than offset by livery
rig hire and railroad fares. Our Hup
mobiles cost us practically nothing
for repairs and upkeep, and we can
not determine that they have depre
ciated a bit so far as their value to
us Is concerned."

Packard Sales Exceed
Production Capacity
The first automobile manufacturer
in the country to declare a shortage
of cars for this season is the Packard
Motor Car Company. During the first
seven months of that company's fiscal
year, starting last September, the total
sales for motor carriages have been
2,014. For the corresponding period
of the 1910 season, the Packard Com
pany's prevvious banner year, 1,882
cars were sold.
"By a flood of orders, the Packard
Motor Car Company Is marooned on
a pinnacle of success," declares Presi
dent Henry B. Joy. "At present we
are unable to turn out cars In suffi
cient quantity to supply those patrons
of high class vehicles who know that
the best is cheapest In the long run.
'Our aim has always been to establish
a name for character and quality of
Packard product so our vehicles will
be regarded as pre-eminent In the
vehicle trade.
"The buying public has put the
stamp of approval on Packard ve
hicles by such liberal patronage that
the company's allotted product for the
year will be 600 cars short of market
requirements. This year's business
exceeds that of a corresponding period
of last year by 422 motor carriages. It
is greater than the company's banner
