Two of the most recent additions to tile city's apartment buildings are the Christian Nauss proporty, 34 North Second street, and the property of i William Jennings, No. 7 South Front st reet. The Nauss property has been pur- | chased by A. C. Young, one of the' city's progressive real estate dealers. 1 and is now being turned into apart ments. On the first tloor will be a large storeroom and on the upper floors will be five modern apartments. Contractors are now completing their ■work of remodeling this building and Jlr. Young expects to have it ready for occupancy within a few weeks. j The Jennings property has already been remodeled and partly occupied. It contains four up-to-date apart ments.

GRAND JURY SEARCHING FOR 'JIM' MULVIHILL [Continued From First Pago.] lions, and was expected to testify late ibis afternoon. Repeated efforts on the part of • ounsel for the brewers to have sub jienas for brewery books and papers withdrawn have according to E. 3.owry Humes, district, attorney, re sulted in failure, and he will go on with the inquiry. Those who know Mulvihill, who liave seen his giant frame in so many public places and always with a num ber of friends, are mystified at his seeming disappearance. They wonder liow he could be anywhere and not l>e noticed at once. Mulvihill is a strong and towering man physically. He. shows his strength in the hearty grip of his hand. bike other well - known Pittsburgh politicians, he got his start in the highly paid work in ihe rolling mills of the steel districts. And like them, JIIMO, It was not long before BE be* tame a power in politics. His word has % one far toward electing Legislatures which would vote down local option bills. Mulvihill was influential because lie was the representative of the vast liquor interests with their great wealth of invested capital and of the largo number of men whose livelihood de pended upon the liquor business, in this last regard liquor dealers have asserted that 500,000 votes in Penn sylvania may he Influenced by those engaged in the liquor business. Feature or I-a'irislaturo Whenever politicians have met to discuss plans and candidacies, Mulvihill has never been far away. He is always a feature. Hence it is that he is the most souulit after man in the present <Stand Jury investigation. Mulvihill. it Is felt, is the key to the secrets of Ihe brewer and of their relations to the political parties. Mulvihill is vice-president of the Independent Brewing Company, one of the biggest in the Commonwealth. As a brewer, however, "Jim" Mulvi hill is only known to a few coming In contact with the brewing com pany's letterheads, for his much wider fame is as a figure at Harris burg. He has been prominent at the last 10 sessions of the Legislature, and has dominated at least three of these. Through Mulvlhill, or those in sym pathy with him, members of the Leg islature, it is declared, have been bought, brow-beaten or tricked into voting against local option, or other antisaloon legislation. Ho led the tight at the last session which resulted in the defeat of Governor Brum baugh's local option bill. Government agents believe he has knowledge of ihousands of dollars of liquor money spent in the last decade in politics. Tax to Defeat I vocal Option Information comes to the Govern ment agents from many different sources that retailers, wholesalers and others in an election for mem bers of the Legislature in the recent past were charged $7 a barrel for beer customarily selling for $6.50, and that the purchasers have been frankly told the extra 50 cents was an assessment to help defeat local option, not only in Pennsylvania, but other States. This was in 1912, it is said, when the local option battle was strong in Pennsylvania, the South and the Southwest. The disburse ments, it is said, were made from this '•ity and Philadelphia. Since then the assessments have been from 15 to 25 cents per barrel on beer and a propor tionate assessment on the distillers and whisky dealers and all parties bene fited. Federal Prosecutor Humes worked over the case yesterday at home, and Government agents communicating with him predicted that the Govern ment is on the trail now of new evi dence more sensational than any yet hinted at.

Thoul | sands of smilax have been draped in graceful festoons or wound about the numerous snow-white pillars spaced equidistant through the hall. Thou sands of electric globes add to the 'glimmering beauty of the scene.

The Sara Lerner Orchestra render ed an exceedingly well-arranged musical program. The show shows that alter sixteen years ol' constant, conscientious effort the American automobile manufac turer ha> hit the vital chord which appeals to millions instead of thou sands. lte now produces quality in quantity. In thi-7 monster exhibition the aver age man tlnds the car which he can 'af ord In buy. j 'i here is a great variety of eight cylinder cars to select from as well as several different makes of twelves or Uvir sixes. Plus the variety which is offered ! to the buyer this year there is another , most important factor. It is liglit ! IH-ss. II you look over the entire i show you will hardly find one maker 'who does not advertise less weight, more powci and lower fuel consump tion. And all these advantages are offered at a popular price. No attempt is now made 1o appeal to the man who has money to burn. There are, of course, a few high priced cars left, but even they offer greater cities and richer tinisli on ! both chassis and body. it makes little difference what ear I you buy. you now get more for your money than ever before, the show is demonstrating. Six \ears ago, if you will look back 'over the i lice lists of that period, you •.vi!l tin • that there were on the niar kl." only about half a dozen cars for lies'- than SI,OOO. And manv of tlieni were not worth that, at least not in 'comparison to the value offered to day. Tlic New Features There is hardly a single car in this ; exhibition which is not equipped with an etliclent self starter and electric i lights. There may be one or two i little affairs hidden away in a corner, I but they are the exception to the rule. Noise, vibration, lubrication, igni tion troubles and many of the defects ; which were present in the best cars jof only a few years ago have disap peared from nine-tenths of the cart which are shown this year, regardless of price. Springs have been improved to that point where the manufacture! finds it unnecessary to equip his cat with shock absorbers or to recom- I mend that the purchaser add them fot his comfort. On the contrary, the purchaser i? now told that shock absorbers will i interfere with the easy riding quality i ' oi matjy machines, ij Electric horns are not only supplied ! but are concealed from dust and weather, and removed to a distance i from the driver and passengers, where they will not annoy. Bodies have been Improved a hun |dred per cent, as to durability, com fort and style. Tops no longer rattle and extra seats fold not merely ou of the way but out of sight.

I More (iraceful -I In its lines the lOlti body, parti ! | cularly of the touring car, is more graceful than last year. The radiator, I which was always an unsightly thing ii at best, now melts into the lines of ' the hood, and the latter in turn runs i smoothly toward the dash, either by an artistic cowl or by a gradual rise from the radiator to the level of the dash. A few makers have lifted the lines o! tile hood to the level of the dash, and thereby done away with an abrupt curve of the cowl. Many of the manufacturers have : added the demountable top to their - line tliis year. Last year, it may be i recalled, only two or three of the • exhibitors displayed a practical, good • looking detachable winter top. One exhibitor aptly terms it a ; "Tw'O-in-One Car." It is, in the sense - that during the pleasant weather it is 1 a louring car and in the winter the 1 adjustable top makes it a fully in- I closed vehicle. t j A few makers felt that there was - a demand for a demountable top and i ventured into the market. A few months of trial proved to l tlvo men who were building these tops that they were on the right line, and - in spite of all opposition the innova i tion came along with a rush. For the owner who has a private t garage the removable top should s prove a wondoriul luxury at a moder riato extra cost. He can remove it in a few minutes, with the assistance of 1 a couple of strong neighbors or pos r ' sibly one able-bodied hired man.

The accessory business I has developed with (he automobile in dustry until to-day scores of stores in | every community are required to sup ply the motorists with the needful things that add to motoring comfort and such repair parts as are in gen eral usage. In speaking of the accessories as a potent factor in the improvement of automobiles Mr. Wildermuth s;iid the i motor car designers soon found them i selves constructing their cars to ac | commodate new forms of ignition, car ! buretion, transmission, etc., and that. | the shape of a certain part of a car is frequently so because the motor car designer had to adapt his design to tit a certain self-starter or other equip ment. Mr. Wildermuth referred to the Bosch Magneto Company as one illustration of many other big manu facturing establishments that have, been built up as a part of the automo bile industry and yet separate and dis tinct.
