SECOND FALSITY
CUNNINQHAMSAYSHEDIDNOT
TELL FACTS
Coal Baron, at Alaskan Claims Probe,
Characterizes Misstatements as
"Unfortunate" Wording of
Letter Sent to Juneau
CLEVELAND, 0., March li. For
the second titno during the Inquiry
Into tli.! Alaska coal claims lure, Clar
ence Cunningham, by whose name iii«
claims arc known, was forced today
by the federal attorneys to admit that
he bad mad* Incorrect statements in
document! which he had signed.
Tho llrst occasion occurred earlier In
the hearing, when Cunningham admit

■worn, was Incorrect. At' that time
■he claimed the affidavit had been
drawn up by Louis R. Qlavls and that
he had taken the word of the former
government land agent for the state
ments contained In it.
Today, at the final eesslon of the

letter written by him to the United
State* land agent at Junoau, Alaska,
asking for maps of the district in
''which the coal claims lay, and which
wore required before patents could be
Issued.
In the letter Cunningham laid ho
had seen the land commissioner for
the district and thnt everything in
connection with the claims was In

(in the first flight the Steeling ap
paratus was Improperly adjusted, and
Hamilton narrowly escaped repeating
Saturday's unpleasant performance.
The biplane was slow in rising', and
after be had circled tho track once at
,i height of 200 foot he started to
descend. The machine came down
rapidly, and for a moment it appeared
to be driving straight into tho pond.
It barely cleared the water, landing in
a muddy field. Hamilton had .some ad
justments made and prepared for his
second flight.
This time the machine rose grace
fully, and the aviator circled the track
two and a half times. He was in the
air about llvo minutes and made a
splendid landing. This second flight
brought forth loud applause.
When a third liight was attempted
the engine balked and the machine
■would not move. The crowd, which
numbered more than 5000 persons,
■waited two hours while the mechanics
worked with the motor. At last thoy
got it going, but when Hamilton again
attempted a Bight the machine ran
along the ground for 200 • yards, but

CANADIAN PRODUCTS
FAVORED IN TARIFF
Misconceptions In Regard to Provis
ions of New Law Are Cor.
rected by American
Experts
WASHINGTON, March 11. .A tfen
eral miaconcepton of the provisions
of the American tariff Is believed to
be largely responsible for the hitch in
the tariff negotiations between the
American commissioners ami the Ca-
nadian authorities in their Ottawa
conferences.
it is learned at the state deps tment
that before the Americans art .zed at
Ottawa assertions were generally made
thai the American tariff on Canadian
products was twice as high as the Ca
nadian tariff on American products.
This was shown to bo an error.
It was disclosed that the material
reductions made by the Payne-Aldrlch
law on Canadian Imports into tho
United States were not understood In
Canada, on the basis of the fiscal
year l'.'Ofl the reduction amounted to
more, than $1,000,u0U, equivalent to
nearly 10 per cent.
While this whs the situation as to
Canadian products Imported Into the
United States, it was disclosed that
the remission of duties which the
United States would have received In
the same year, if it bad enjoyed the
benefit of the preferential rates given
to Frame and twelve other countries,
would have been approximately
$800,000.
In Cnnada the belief was said to bo
prevalent that the United States en
forced many prohibitive rates against
Canadian products, while Canada had
jio such discrmlnatlon against the
products of the United States.
Wool and woolens were cited on be
half of Canada. In reply the tariff
officers of the United States cited steel
rails, on which Canada lays a prohib
itive duty.
Attention nlso was called to the ad
vantages to Canada of the heavy re
duction on Iron ore, tho rate now
being' IS cents per ton, as against 40
cent! formerly.
Canada is an important source of
■upply to the United States for both
wood pulp designed for paper making
and for wood to be converted into
pulp. Contrary to the popular Impres
sion, however, Canada la not. tho only
source of supply of wood for such
purpose!, Mini the statement is made
that many years will be required to
exhaust the domestic sources of pulp
wood.

BISHOP DECLARES
ALASKA LAWS POOR
GREAT NATURAL RESOURCES
SHOULD BE HELD
Prelate on Visit to 'States' Says North.
em Domain Rich in Agricultural
Prospects—People Are
Done Injustice
CHICAGO, stare)) !<■ —"The Alaska
'grabs' are due entirely to poor legis
lation," said the Rt. Rev. Peter Trim
ble Rowe, Episcopalian bishop of
Alaska, yesterday. "The great natural
resources Of tho northern territory are
the rightful property of American citi
zens, anil 1 hope hereafter the govern
ment will be wise and prevent their
falling into tho hands of any corpora
tion."
Bishop Rowe Is passing the week In
Chicago as the guest of Rev. William
i i Waters, rector Of Grace church.
This is his first visit to tno "States"
In five years.
"The sale of land rich in coal and
copper, with even greater possibilities
for agriculture, at $10 an acre, was a
barter for a mere song," he said. "I
do not say the transfer was fraudu
lent. For all I know every step was
legal, but the laws must be wrong
when so great an injustice In possible.
"Little is known of the agricultural
possibilities, possibly because conclu
sions are drawn from coast observa
tions. There the Japan current makes
the climate equable, but at no time Is
it warm enough to insure great crops.
But inland, where the winters are in
tensely cold, the summers, though
short, are warm and agriculture has a
future. The Xanana valley alone,
which now has about 16,u0U inhab
itants, could easily support a million."
CZAR WALKS ON STREETS

Russian Ruler Declares Anarchists
Mean Him No Harm and
Laughs at Protests
ST. PETERSBURG, March 14.—The
czar is no longer a prisoner. Nearly
every day now his subjects see him
driving without escort In the streets
of St. Petersburg, and none of the
usual precautions are taken for his
safety. One day last week several per
sons saw his majesty, in the uniform
of a colonel of the Imperial guard,
walking on the Neva quay, gayly con
versing with an officer of the house
hold.
The czar later went shopping, and
bought, without being recognized,
gloves and sweets. He Is In the best
of spirits and seems really delighted
with his recovered freedom. But the
police are in despair, and it is even
reported that the chief of the secret
police asked his majesty on his knees
not to expose his life in this manner,
but the czar answered that he had
confidence in his people and that the
Almighty would protect him from at
tempts of anarchists and fanatics.
He said he was convinced the revo
lutionary Socialists do not wish to
murder him.

STOCK CARS TO
BE IDENTIFIED
PRESENT RACING SITUATION
NOT SATISFACTORY
Fact That Machines Are Rushed from
Track to Track Enough to
Make Public Sus
picious
That additional restrictions arc i
essary in order t<> insure that cars
talcing riart in contests, particularly
in races, arc bona fide stock cars, is
tl pinion nf Windsor 'I. White, pres
ident of the White company. Mr. ,
White proposes a rule whereby any |
machine entering in a contest may be
claimed by any other entrant >>n the
payment of the lh.t price of that car.
"I think no one will dispute the
statement that there has been much
ground tor dissatisfaction with and
dl trust or the stock car racing situa
tion," said Mr. White, In disclosing
the proposed reform. "The examina
tion of contesting cars ai race mccl
is necessarily of the most superficial
character and generally discloses
nothing more than that the cylinders
arc of the proper dimensions and thai
the general arrangement of parts is
the same as In the stock model. Such
an examination cannot reveal, for ex
ample, whether or not 'lie racing car
; has a chrome nlcki ' steel crank
j (when real stink cars of the same
! make use only common machine Btei I)
or whether or nol there has been ;i
similar substitution of materials
throughout. •
"The public lias had ample reason
in be suspicious. For example, they
have ii"i understood why it wan n<
essary for a 'stock' car which com
peted <jiio week In New Fork to be
rushed by express to compete In Min
neapolis or New Orleans the next.
The ordinary citizen would Imagine
that any car In Minneapolis or New
Orleans would fully size up to the true
capabilities of the stock cur and could
bemused.
"With this unsatisfactory situation
confronting automobile racing, why
should v.c not avail ourselves <>f the
experiem c of a much older line of
sport—namely, horse racing- wherein
\ritiims protective measures have been
devlrtd for safeguarding the Interests
of the public as well aa of contestants?
I refer particularly to the regulations
covering what, are known as selling
races, x believe that these regulations
could !>■ applied with advantage to all
stock cans racing in this country, with
the result that any car entering a stock
car race could be claimed by any other
contestant in the race on payment of
the list price of the car.
"By the enactment of such an
amendment to the automobile racing
rules, motor racing In this vicinity
would receive a tremendous boom.
There are ninny manufacturers and
agents who would be very willing to
engage in various kinds of speed con
teats If they were assured that they
would be confined to stuck models.
"But at present they feel that the
which are being sent lirst to one
city and then to another to engage In
race meets are not bona fide stock
cars. Under the proposed rule, any
maker who engaged in a race and who
suspected that one of the cars contest
ing against him was not a stock model
could simply bid it in at the list price
and could quickly assure himself
whether or not such was the case.
With this regulation enforced the prac
tice of building especially constructed
cars for racing would be discouraged,
there would be many more cars enter-
Ing races, and the public and the indus
try at large would benefit largely from
the new conditions."
AGENTS FOR AUTOS
ARE EASY TO FIND
Today the automobile show is pri
marily for the dealer and buyer; the
manufacturer has to a large extent
disappeared ltno the background. The
reason for this is obvious—motor cars
have become a staple product of our
manufacturing world, and the builder
no longer finds It necessary to offer all
sorts of inducements to attract agents
and representatives in various parts
of the country. It is just the other
way now. The maker of a standard
machine is never at a loss for a thor
oughly competent agent or representa
tive; any business man in that line of
business is glad to handle a well
known make of automobile. . It has
come to be one of the highest classes
of representative work in our business
world.
Though the manufacturer gets but
little actual profit out of the automo
bile shows, as they are conducted to
day, he is still glad to give them their
financial support as to give them their
i.LhI support as well as building
special machines for display. These
two departments —financial backing
and the construction of special exhi
bition cars —are the chief interests left
to the manufacturer at present.
Dealers in automobiles are the direct
beneficiaries of the annual exhibition.
There is a general belief among auto
mobile men that the time la not fur
distant when the annual exhibit will
be run entirely by the dealers and the
manufacturers will be called on only
for financial help when needed and
the production of the exhibits..
Some of the leading builders are now
taking this attitude. For instance, a
certain car was shown at the New
York exhibit by the manufacturing
company, but in all other cities, even
Los Angeles, Boston and Chicago, it Is
shown under the name of the local
dealer. What is true in this case Is
true In several others, and the trend
of sentiment among manufacturers
appears to be along that line.
Another reason why the manufac
turer is dropping out of direct repre
sentation In these shows is the fact
that they are staged so late in the
season. Models for the next season
are always before the public months
before the show season opens. Fre
quently makers have their next year's
models on the road in July and Aug
ust, while they cannot show to pros
pective buyers In the shows until late
In the. winter.
Hence it is that the dealer Is coming
more and more into prominence as the
exhibitor at these shows to the exclu
sion of the manufacturer. Education
of the masses who hope and expect to
own automobiles is the chief incentive
to the show, for the greater the Inter
est displayed by the public In these
machines the better will trade be for
the dealer. It'is, with him, a strictly
business affair.
The prospective purchaser of an au
tomobile depends to a large extent on
what he is told by the dealers when
making his investigation. A trip to
the automobile show is not only a so
cial event, but one of business interest
as well. The laity can, with a little
application, obtain a liberal education
In mechanics by a visit to one of these
fairy gardens in which the "fiery mon
ster" is put on public display. ;.; \

LARGER WHEEL AND
TIRES IN DEMAND
NEW STYLE ADDS MUCH TO
SERVICE OF CAR
Rutty Roads Best Place to Demons.
tratt Superiority of Sizes Now
in Use Over Models of
Other Years
If anyone doubts tha increasing popu
larity of large wheels and tires over
the smaller sises, be may have nis
doubts (iuic-kly dispelled by comparing
the equipment carried by 1910 cars with
the tiivs and wheel! on automobiles
now three or lour years old.
Only three years ago JO ami 82 Inch
tires were the rule, and a 34xt W&M con
sidered exceptionally large. Now the
:;t> and 88 inch tiivs are the popular
sizes for similar cars, and even 42-inc.h
have become standard equip
ment on half a dozen makea of auto
mobiles, with more anounced (or the
future. So general has this preference
become that tires 34x4 and larger now
constitute over so per cent of our pneu-
matia tiro output.
Compare the service received from a
80-inch tire with that from a :«-ineh
one on a car of similar capacity. The
larger tire will invariably stand harder
uiage and for a greater period of
time.
on rutty roads the former will drop
into hole* that the larger tire will ride
over with fuse. The hub of the 30
--[nefa wheel being four inches lower
than the hub of the 88-lnch, the re
sistance, of road obstacles which would
he a severe shock to the momentum of
the Hist car and a discomforting jar
to its passengers is passed over almost
unnoticed by the larger wheel.
In a smaller degree the outward
curve of the :!0-inch tire being greater
than that of the 38-inch, a less abrupt
bending of the fabric invariably follows
a shock to the latter.
The strain exerted on the tread of
tin- larger tire when the ear is in mo
tion is divided over a larger area of
of road contact and is less tense at any
one spot, at the same time affording
better traction.
Again and important, any given
point of tho tread of the larger tire
touches the ground less frequently In
a sivcn distance. This means less wear
at any point, and also a more perfect
radiation of the heat generated by
friction,
Perhaps most important of all la the
fact that the larger the tire the greater
the total amount of air it contains to
serve as a cushion hack of the road
shocks, and tho easier the tire will
ride in consequence.

Oldfield's entry, which was signed up
