AUTO LICENSE LEGAL. New Jersey's automobile license laws, which raise revenue for road maintenance by taxing motor cars, were sustained as constitutional today by the supreme court. They were attacked by Fiank J. Kane of New York, who appealed from his conviction of violation.

Contention of the Great Northern raH-road that William M. Ward, a Minneapolis switchman, who was injured in an accident and died a few minutes later without regaining consciousness, did not legally "live" after the accident so as to give his administrator ihp right to sue for damages under the employers' liability act, were sustained today by the supreme court. The railroad appealed from a verdict of in favor of the switchman's pa-ren'ts, Mr. and Mrs. O.

N. Ward of Mankato, Minn. The court reversed this verdict. Request of British claimants of the steamer Appam, now a German prize at Newport News, to expedite hearing of the case testing the vessel's possession, was granted today by the supreme court, which set January 8 for argument. OF CO RSAIR TEAM ST.

LOUIS, Dec. i. George W. Cook placed himself within the power of a money lender, according to his story to the St. JjOvis police today.

twid the net result of the negotiation was this: Cook lost his wife, his home, and furniture, a good position as traveling salesman, $50 in cash and his liberty. The money lender got the furniture, the $GO and George's note for $200. Cook was arrested at noon today at the Hotel Jefferson, where he had been for a week, and confessed to detectives that he had passed five worthless checks in St. Louis in the last five months. Cook blamed his downfall upon desperate straits to which the machinations of the money lender had reduced him.

The prisoner told detectives he lived with his wife until the money lender-closed a chattel mortgage on their furniture. The mortgage was given to secure a loan he obtained of the money lender last January. Cook said he also signed a note for $300.

ST LOUIS furnishes a story to the effect that the Pittsburgh baseball club may close a deal at the approaching National League meeting by which one or two Cardinal stars are likely to don Pirate-uniforms next spring. The rumor does not disclose the names of ths men expected to figure in the transaction. Manager Miller Huggins admits some 'big changes are contemplated in the makeup the Cardinals.

Among tb hundreds of bill and resolutions introduced when Comjrrea convened today vas a Joint resolution by Representative Hllliard of Colorado, proposing Government seizure, ownership, and operation of railroads that do not discontinue by December 20 their suits relative to the Adamson act, and providing that oourts that delay action on suits longer than is neorssaxy to order their dismissal, ahall be abolished.

Representative Steenerson of Minnesota introduced a bill to make women eligible as rural carriers. The postofnee department has ruled that they are not Senator Owen. Democrat of Oklahoma, who will lead the fight for a new corrupt practices act, will introduce a Joint resolution tomorrow for an inquiry Into expenditures of all political parties- in the last national campaign.

WOULD REPEAL GUARD ACT Senator Borah of Idaho announced that he had prepared a bill to repeal the act which federalized the National Guard. "The federalization of the National Guard has been demonstrated in the Mexican situation to have been a failure," he 6 aid "It will "be useless to attempt universal military training as lon as the present militia law remains on the statute books." Representative Humphrey of Washington Introduced a measure In the House calling for an appropriation of for a dry dock at the Tuget Sound navy yard. Representative Crosser of Ohio introduced In the House a bill calling for a constitutional amendment for the election of the President and vice president of the United States by the direct vote of the people.

It was referred to the Judiciary committee. Speaker Clark declared the next House, on the bals of the last election, would show at least 216 Democrats without Scully of New Jersey or Beakes of Michigun. He conceded 213 to the Republicans. Thes-9 figures do not include the independent group of four which, with the two in doubt, make a total of 433. "We have the' control of the House without any doubt," he said.

Led by Vice President Marshall, many senators and representatives called at the White House to pay their respects to President Wilson, but he was, out pel flng. A fund of $250,000 for Intensive study of infantile paralysis would be provided for in a bill introduced in the House by Representative Gallivan of Massachusetts. In a resolution introduced by Representative Oliver the secretary of war is called upon to submit to the House all of the facts regarding Major General Funston's alleged action in per mittlng Baptist evangelists to conduct religious services among the United States troops on the border only on condition that they do not preach that all men are lost in sin.

Then an Investigation into expenditure of the Tecent national campaign Is proposed an.I Senator Owen of Oklahoma-will introduce a Joint resolution directing that such an Inquiry be instituted at once. Hasty conferences of House leaders today convinced a majority that a "speedup" program advocated by Speaker Clark will he adopted with only slight changes at the most.

Majority Leader Kitchin joined with the speaker in declaring that the usual long Christmas holiday should be dispensed with and an earlier meeting hour than noon, probably 10 o'clock, set. As the committees virtually completed their work In the last session, there is no reason, it is pointed out, why the morning hours should not be devoted to floor work. SHORT HOLIDAY ADVOCATED. No active opposition to the early meeting hour has appeared, but there is some dissension over the prcposed abolition of the Christmas holidays. A compromise holiday of, one week, beginning the Saturday before Christmas, has been suggested and favorably received by many members.

Although food embargo proposals are certain to create much discussion, few leaders are inclined to believe that any of them will be enacted into laws. Representative Kitchin thinks, too. that Investigation of the high cost of living will be left to the executive departments. It is regarded as doubtful that any of the President's railway legislative program wiil reach the floor before Christmas. Representative Adamson, chairman of the interstate commerce commission, who will pilot the measures, said tonight that he would spend the Christmas holidays at home regardless of any adjournment agreement.

Representative Raker will urge an early report on his universal suffrage measure, now held in the judiciary committee. The suffragists did not appear at the capltol today to make a demonstration, as had been expected. Inauguration of three new senators who appeared with their credentials was postponed until tomorrow, because of the desire to adjourn in respect to the memory of Senator Clarke, the late president pro tempore. The new senators, Watson of Indiana, Fernald of Maine and Kirby of Arkansas, were given seats in the chamber. Democrats of the Senate plan to hold conferences tomorrow to consider the matter of a new president pro tempore, hut a party caucus probably will not be held until later in the week.

It further declares that at no time be-fore December 20 next, nor therea-fter, unless there shall be dismissal of these suits, shall Congress "entertain any kind of railroad legislation ether than such as shall contemplate Government ownership and operation of all interstate transportation facilities." The resolution then provides for payment to the several owners of the actual value of any property taken over by the Government. The supreme court today was asked to advance the hearing on the constitutionality of the Adamson eight-hour bill in the Missouri. Oklahoma Gulf railroad case. It is understood that December IS is likely to be designated by the court.

A decision on the Government's motion to advance will be glvn probably next Monday. CALENDAR CROWDED, Congress reconvened for a three months' session with a calendar overcrowded with general legislation, facing railroad reforms and the high cost of living as new issues, and confronted with unprecedented estimates aggregating to meet expenditures of the Government for the fiscal year 1918. Both houses adjourned early as a mark of respect to the late Senator Clarke of Arkansas and Resident Commissioner Rivera of Porto Rico, both of whom died since the September adjournment.

The railroad also contended that any damages awarded should be limited to cases in which cars were not furnished for intrastate shipments. It alleged it had insufficient cars to sup- ply all shippers and set up as a defense the practice, afterward approved by the I interstate commerce commission, of pro-' rating car.

on an equitable distribution plan. The Sotiman Company, a bituminous coal producer, sued for failure to deliver an "adequate" supply of cars from 1903 to 190i at it)? plant near 1'oriage. alleging the railroad discriminated in i favor of the Berwind-White Cal Mining Company and the Keystone oal oc Lok Company and maintaining that there was a common law and -state statutory obligation upon carriers to furnish cars. Serious injury to its business, lss of salps and enforced sales below the market prices of coal to its competitors was alleged. The caie was tried in the state courts in 1912.

The Pennsylvania supreme court held that the common law liability of carriers to supply cars gave the state courts jurisdiction, as the alleged violations in the present case arose before Congress passed the Hepburn act, giving exclusive jurisdiction to the Federal courts and interstate commerce commission of such complaints. The state courts also held that all shipments involved were intrastate and moreover that the mere fact that some of the coal went beyond state lines did not deny state courts their jurisdiction to hear suits for damages for failure to supply cars. PACIFIC BATES SUSTAINED. Inland cities of the Pacific coast slop lost their fight in the supreme court today against an order of the interstate i commerce commission granting lower 'i ans-continental railroad freight rates to San Francisco, Oakland. l'ortiand.

Seattle and other coast cities. Associate Justice Brandeis announced oicinn nf ll A court dis hisis of the lower rates to the coast. had ceasei. The cities and towns af-fectel number 3S2, including Sacramento, Stockton, San Jose and Santa Clara. Cal.

The decision sustained the contention. of the government, the commission and the railroads in appeal from the action of the lower court. Kesort to the court- to nullify the commission's order was commented on in Justice Brandeis' opinion as follows: To permit communities or shippers to seek redress for such grievances (recited in the case under consideration) in the courts would invade and ofter nullify the administrative authority vested in the commission." READJUSTMENT COMPELLED. On the claim that Panama canal steamship competition had been eliminated. Justice Brandeis said: "It was the increased effectiveness of water competition due to the opening of the Panama canal a notable change in conditions which compelled the rate readjustment of which they (the inland cities) complained." Regarding' the complaint of the inland cities that they were denied a hearing-when the rate adjustments were under consideration, the court said: "The carrier is the only necessary psrtv under section 4 of the interstate commerce act amendment.

The rommis- sion represents the public. While it is proper and customary for communities or shippers interested to participate in hearing's, there is no provision for notice to them." To the assertion that the commission exceeded Its authority in granting the lower rates to the coast cities, in alleged absence of application by the railroads for such action, this comment was made: "Such a construction would make section 4 unworkable and defeat the purpose of the amendment (autho zing the commission to authorize lower rates for long hauls than for short hauls): it is at variance with the broad discretion vested In the commission. It is incon sistent with the intermouniain rata cases, where the order sustained granted relief very different from that applied for." ICE CREAM LAW UPHELD, i Iowa and Pennsylvania laws prescribing butter fat standards for ice cream were upheld as constitutional today by the supreme court in test cases attack ing their validity as arbitrary exercise of state "police powers," although designed to prevent adulterations of food product. The decision, the court was advised by the National Association of Ice Cream Manufacturers, would affect the entire ice cream industry and legislation of many states, of which more than 30 have similar istatutes. The supreme court, by a vote of six to 3, held that James Sim and Thomas P.

Alder of New York are entitled to recover nearly $110,000 from William Edenborn, New Orleans and New York capitalist, subscribed to him as syndicate manager for tock of the Sheffield Coal Iron Company in 1902. The company became insolvent. Edenborn, a former associate of John W. Gates and a Steel Corporation director, was charged by Sim and Alder with concealing his alleged majority stock ownership of the United States Iron Company, which he put in as his subscription. CAN'T SUSPEND SENTENCE.

Federal judges, the supreme court held I todav. do not possess inherent power, ex-I ercised for a century, but without specific 1 congressional authority, to indefinitely suspend execution of criminal sentences imposed in their respective courts. Suspension by District Judge Klllit3 of Ohio of sentence upon James J. llenahaj) of Toledo, convicted of bank embezzlement, was revoked. Cfeief Justice "White gave the court's opinion.

"Of course there is a discretion lodged in every court." he said, "but that's a judicial discretion, a discretion to enforce the law not to refuse to enforce It." The chief justice, in ordering a permanent writ against Judge Killits, ordered issuance of the writ in Menahan's case suspended until the end of the present term. Associate Justice Clarke of the supreme court today gave his first opinion, holding that undsr the 16-hour law for railroad men. neglect to report instances of excessive service, if not in bad faith, does not make the road liable to the penalty of $100 a day. The court affirmed dismissal If you want to know how your favorite cocktail ought to taste, sample that variety in Joined the club last fall. Bill evidently had been taking advantage of his opportunities from the moment he was sent to Terre Haute in the Central league, for further seasoning.

When he got back Into the big game he had overcome several little faults which had been pointed out to him during the spring. With Bill Fischer and Walter Schmidt on the Job, Callahan evidently is not worried over his back-stopping corps. President Barney Dreyfus3 yesterday received a communication from Callahan, who is still at his home in Chicago. Jimmy found that several engagements would prevent him from making a trip to French Lick Springs. which he had planned for this week.

He has arranged to leave Chicago on Sunday for New York city, where he will mingle with the baseball men who attend the annual midwinter session of the National League. This meeting is scheduled to open next Tuesday. President Dreyfuss will confer with his pilot while the December powwow is in session. WILL INSPECT NEW CAMP. Immediately after the close of the Jeague meeting Callahan will travel Into the South.

He expects to visit Columbus, Ga, which is to be the new training camp of the Buccaneers. Jimmy intends giving the Georgians complete instructions regarding the work necessary to put the ball grounds in shape for the training stunts. He will Install squash, tennis and handball courts and see that the shower taths, lockers and other requisites are placed to the best advantage. Roger Hornsby of the Cardinals is a much-sought player, and It has been rumored several times that the St. Louis favorite was slated for a swap to Pittsburgh.

Local officials, however, declare that no negotiations are going on for Hornsby's services. More than one club-owner has admitted he would like to land this youngster end some are known to have made offers for him. Mrs. Helen H. Brltton, president of the St.

Louis club, however. 1s not likely to consent to any trade which would take this promising inflelder away from Robison Field. Huggins states that Inflelders Jack Miller and Artie Butler, as well as Outfielder Owen Wilson, are on the market. These three players, who figured In the big swap made a few seasons ago by the Pirates, did not come up to expectations last year. At the time Fred Clarke turned turned Wilson over to the Cards he was known as the "triple king." He knocked out 36 three-baggers in 1912, but last season netted him but two of these swats.

Miller appears to be the only member of this trio who might be regarded as a trading prospect. With a first-division team1 Jack should be a valuable asset. UMPIRES WILL MEET. Indicator handlers in the upper classes of lesser leagues, will hold their annual meeting in Chicago next Sunday. Ed Eckman, who belongs to the official staff of the Western League, is president of the National Association of Minor League Umpires.

Eckman issued the call for the meeting. The umpires are desirous of Influencing the various leagues to give preference to seasoned officials, instead of employing ball players who have had little experience in this capacity. It is the general opinion among the members of the association, that men who have devoted their time to making a study of the rules of baseball and who have worked in the business, should be entitled to more consideration than three who have merely hopped out of the diamond and taken up berths as umps. president John K. Tener of the National League, Is expected in Pittsburgh today.

He Is heralded by a story from lor, to the effect that he is making the trip for the purpose of trying to conciliate Barney Dreyfuss who, some time ago launched a movement aimed toward the wholesale reconstructing of the national commission. On the contrary, the ex-governor of Pennsylvania, probably ha no such ideas. His object in visiting the city will be to participate in tne inree-days" dedicatory program at the new home of Pittsburgh lodge No. 11, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.

I wish that instead of on mn. two or three, or perhaps all, could be elected captain for next year. oute all are deserving of the honor." The toastmaeter next called for some music from the "All-American brass band." The musicians obliged with a written as a tribute to the Pitt eleven and entitled "Pittsburgh's Big Team." The banqueters had copies of me song and sang in accompaniment. Graduate Athletic Manager Karl E.

Davis and Football Manager Jack Thompson were then cheered in turn. Glenn Warner was the next speaker. His applause was the greatest of the evening and the cheering was only halted when the band drowned it out. A skyrocket yell for Warner followed, and then the coach was permitted to speak. In his usual deliberate manner, "Pop" said, in effect: "We are being called the greatest team of the East and of the country and I isuppose you are anxious to know the reason for our success.

Harmony is the answer. There is perfect harmony in football a-M along the line in the institution. Nothing Is done loosely. The management has been perfect, and no coach could ask for more loyal support than I received on all sides. HARMONY TEAM'S SECRET.

"Many of the large Eastern teams are failures simply because of a. lack o. harmony. Absolute harmony is the secret I of our success. The players maintained perfect harmony among themselves all season and thie made for the vest best i teamwork.

"For assistants I had two of the best football men- in the country. It was a great pleasure for me to work with such men as Floyd Rose and AU'c Stevenson I and a good deal of the credit for our sue- cess is due them. Rose possesses the happy faculty of getting close to the players and Stevenson is one of the best I scouts I have ever known when it comes to getting the opponents' plays a-game. Their assistance to me was invaluable." The mention of both Rose and Stevenson was loudly cheered. "I was not without -o during the season," Warner continued.

"In two of our minor games I feared they might be going back. However, after each of these occasions they came back in grfat style. They deliverel the goods every time they had to toe the scratch. "And I want to say a few words for the reserves and the freshmen. I won't call them scrubs, because there isn't a scrub player on either squad.

These fellows gave us Teal opposition in the practices and worked faithfully all season. You'll hear from many of them next fall. "In closing, I want to thank everybody for the loyal support accorded myself and the players throughout the season." MUST FIGHT TO STICK. i A. R.

Hamilton, one of the leading spirits among Pitt's alumni was next called He said that three things stood i out boldly as the features of Pitt's football Beason. The first was that a large majority of the writers and critics throughout the country conceded the na- tional championsip to Pitt; the second that the University of Pennsylvania was beaten by Pitt here and the third that Pitt had 'been fortunate enough to sign up Coach Warner for four more years. He strongly emphasized the necessity of fighting to keep Pitt at the top of the heap. "It was a hard battle to get the University up among 'the leaders." said Hamilton, "and it will require ju-t as much of a struggle to keep it there. We can not rest upon our honors.

We must get behind Warner and push. If we lag 'behind at this stage we will lose what laurels we have. Everybody will be out to beat Pitt next year, so watch out! Every man interested In Pitt should do his share toward retaining our prestige." "Punch" McLoughlin of the Old Guard entertained with a Negro song next, and then Karl Davis spoke. He was given a rousing cheer in recognition of his efficient work as athletic manager. CARL DAVIS SPEAKS.

Davis said he was feeling a little "offish" for two reasons. One was that he was overwhelmed by the great demonstration at the banquet and the other was that he had received a letter from Phil Dillon, a Pitt halfback in 1913 and 1914, who wrote that he had become a porud father of an eight-pound baby boy and had named him after Karl. Davis said that he attributed Pitt's success in foot'ball to three reasons. The first was the fine material attracted to the institution, the second was Glenn Warner, and 'the third the generous support of the alumni and the spirit shown by the students and others. He lauded Warner as the greatest coach extant and said that Bob Peck was one of the best players ever developed at Pitt, and had proven a very good captain.

He also had a large gob of praise for Jack Thompson as football manager. Always considerate of the newspapers and willing to go out of his way to do the newspapermen any courtesy, Davis called attention to the fine support given the team by the local newspaper? and the out-of-town ones. "We could have twice as good a team as we have," he said, "and it would not do us any good if the papers didn't tell the public about it. We owe the press a great debt of gratitude." Loud applause greeted this statement. 20 LETTER MEN.

Work on next season's schedule hinges entirely upon the Penn game. Manager Davis said. Negotiations will be opened immediately and as soon as a date is closed the rest of the schedule will be built around it. Davis announced that Lee Trimble had been appointed football manager for next year after the contenders' had been narrowed down to two men. The toss of a coin decided in favor of Trimble.

At a request from one of the Old Guard, Bob Peck had the members of the varsity squad stand up, one at a time, as he called off their names, so that the guests could identify each. Charles S. Miller, director of athletics of the university, then announced the list of men who had been awarded letters in football for the season. They were: Carlson, Dellart, Friedlander. Gougler, Hastings, Herron, Hilty, McLaren, Mc-Nulty, Meanows, Miller, Morrow, Peck, Seidel.

His sporting-blood boils when a 1910-Complex flivs past on the first long pull with apparent ease and matter-of-factness. Invariably he bawls-out his motor and labels it a cheese." But ten-to-one. the motor itself is guiltless.

The real cause is faulty lubrication. At least one of these four is the exact oil for your particular motor. Your garageman will advise you which to use to get 100-percent results. Atlantic Motor Oils bear the same relation to lubrication that Atlantic Gasoline the accepted standard bears to fuel. Advise with your garageman at once on this matter of motor oils.

His long experience with Atlantic products and all kinds of cars will prove valuable to you. If your car does the hesitation on the grades, look first to the oil you are using. The Atlantic Refining Company, the oldest and largest manufacturers of lubricating oils in the world, have produced a group of four motor oils that answer every lubrication question, under any and all driving conditions. Polarine, tin leader of the group, is the correct lubricant for 8 out of 10 cars. The alternatives are Atlantic "Light," Atlantic "Medium" nd Atlantic "Heavy." Read up on this subject.
