- TRUCK V3. TROLLEY ARGUMENT SETTLED ————— New York Boys Arrested lor Their Experiment New York, Oect. 11.—Every small boy with a spark of imagination and every motorist who has been terror: | ized into a diteh by the mere roar of “n encoming truek Il be interested in the resuits of a classio test con- ducted yesterday. The test has o do with the ques- tion of supremacy in the resistance powers of an automebile truck versus A trolley car, What motorist intimi- dated by a hugh truck hasn't fers vently. prayed that a trolley car hit the Leviathan of the roadways smack dab in the vital spet midway between the earburetor and transmission? And what small boy has not won- dered If that trolley car couldn't knoek the big trueck for a row of ele- vated pillars ! John Mufray, 16 years old, and Pat. rick Quinn, settied their doubts this merning. Pat's theory that a ones-ton truck cannot put a trolley car into the diteh was proved to be correct, There were one or two flaws, how- ever, In the test of vehicnlar supre- macy as conducted by John and Pat, They used n truek which didn't be- long to them for the clash, and they didn't ask the rallway company If it would provide the car for the smash, Incidentally, an innocent taxicad suf- fered somewhat when the truck ricochetted off the vestibule of the trolley, The test occurred at Bighth avenue and West 44th street. The trolley was north hound, and the truck came out of 44th street, Detective Willlam Moore witnessed the classic spectac: the clash for highway supremacy. He learned from the yoyths on the one-ton truck that they had stolen the mechine from in front of 234 West 55th street, where it had been left by Charles Meder, the owner, The youths were taken to the West 47th st poliee station and gave their addresses as 516 Eleventh avenue and occupation as laborers, When they are arraigned Iater in the West Side court the Magistrate will be in the advantageous position of being able to look out of the court windows to the cornerand view the remnants of the truck: The clash of truck and car was not more than 50 feet from the court doors.

Washington, Oct. 11,—Official con- firmation of the reports that Japan intends to float a foreign’ loan in connection with its reconstruction plans was contained in a statement by J.

The cost of the flight was less than one farthing per |mile. The feature of the trials thus far appears to be the rellability of the lit- tle machines, which are doing all sorts of stunts and long distance flights even in the face of high winds. One ex- ploit arousing comment was that of a pilot who made a low speed flight at an average of 33 mlles an hour, with his machine at all times under perfect control.
