AGREE TO COMPLY WITH ALL RULES OF COMMISSION. Promoters of Willard-Moran Bout Con- fer With Athletic Officials. 28.—Tex Rickard New York, Feb. and others connected with the forth- | coming Willard-Moran bout conferred today with the state athletic commis- sion and agreed to comply with all rules of the commission. A manifest of the tickets for the match shows that 13,000 have been printed. Twelve thousand are for seats ranging in price from $3 to $25, while the remainder are for standing room. All moneys taken in will be subject to the orders of the commission. In order that no one may attach the purses of the fighters, the commission will not make public the name of the stakeholder.

Cincinnati, Feb. 28—The National Baseball Commission today refused the application of Player Tony Smith of the Galveston club, to be declared a free agent. In making the decision the commission report said: “It appears that all members of the Galveston _team were paid in full up to Aug. 15, 1915, and that on the ¥ol- lowing day that city was visited by a hurricane in which many lives and n the application to suspend op- 21 and retain for the following season. “The commission denies this play- er’s application to be declared a free agent and holds that under the cir- cumstances the board was justified in its action and that at most he suf- fered only a temporary inconvenience in being required to wait for sixty days for the six days’ salary due him. “The Galveston club was assuredly entitled to extraordfnary considera- tion because of the exceptional plight in which it was put by a storm which wrought ruin in its path.” The national commission also is- sued a statement relative to the new rule on players given their uncondi- tional release by the Federal league. It _follows: “In all cases in which a player has reverted to a national agreement club as the result of bis uncondi- tional release by the Federal League or any of its clubs, it is the duty of the club to which he returns, to promptly contract with such player, transfer him to another club or waive all claim to him in writing. “Major league clubs are instructed to notify the president of their re- spective league what action if any has been taken relative to players which have reverted to them.

WILLARD CLAIMS HIS WEIGHT EXAGGERATED Jess Anxious For the Bout With Mo- ran. Jess Willard’s one big object in life right now is to round himself into prime condition for his pending box- Ing contest with Frank Moran. Of course he is most anxious to defeat the Pittsburgher, and is quite confi- dent that he will, but to the actual bout itself he is giving very little thought, important as the match is. He is more serious and “settled” now. He has “found himself. He is more self-assertive and self-reliant, and not so completely dominated by his managers. Jess speaks for him- self instead of letting Tom Jones do it. Although more talkative than former- ly, Jess is still far from being loqua- clous. Jones has that article cornered anyway. So anxious “was Willard to start training that ten minutes after he had moved in his baggage he proposed go~ ing_Gown to the Pioneer Sporting club in New York and “limber up after his long train ride, even if it is only to punch the bag, as he expressed it himself. He allowed himself to be overruled by Tex Richard, the promo- er of the match, who pointed out to him that it would be unwise to ex- pose himself unnecessarily to the vile ‘weather so soon after being ill.

New York, Feb. 28.—The foreign sit- uation, as represented by the delicate state of the submarine controversy, and Germany’s offensive in France, cast its shadow over today's feverish market. Liquidation was insistent and the short interest accelerated the de- cline by a resumption of its recent aggressive tactics. Shares of the war group and other specialties_which are wont to follow the lead of those issues recorded ex- treme losses of three to six points, while seasoned or investment shares yielded two to three. There was marked improvement in the final hour, the bears rushing to cover on rumors that Germany had agreed to some modifications as to attacks on enemy ships. Support was Jacking most of the time and the feeble rallies of the mid- session simply accentuated the extent of the downward trend. Further cause for uneasiness was occasioned by ru- mors of a recurrence of revolutionary troubles in Mexico, shares of compa- nies operating in the southern republic manifesting acute weakness. Yet another unsettling feature was found in the renewal of heavy selling of Anglo-French fives, which fell to a |3 new minimum of 93 5-8. Dealings in these bonds excited much unfavorable comment and heightened apprehension regarding new foreign issues which are likely to be offered in this market. There were a few neutralizing influ- ences, such as additional excellent raillway returns for January and re- markable earnings of several of the leading concerns engaged in the ful- fillment of war contracts. These were completely ignored, however, in the sterner- issues of the day. Almost the sole element of strength was furnished by Reading, that stock showing an extreme gain of 2 1-2 at 82 1-2. The famlillar story of an early distribution of Reading’s “hidden as- sets,” which has served its purpose in the past, gained currency, but con- firmation was lacking in authoritative quarters. Total sales amounted to 805,000 shares. ‘With its increase of $1,430,000 in January operating revenues, Northern Pacific presented quite the best state- ment of any road in its territory for that period. Bonds in general were disposed to shade, but concessions were mostly nominal. Total sales, par value, ag- gregated $4,290,000.

DOINGS IN THE AUTO WORLD Car Stripped of Valuable Accessories Would be Difficult to Sell — Auxiliary Features Great Addition — Gasoline Prices Probed—Motor Whirl. Stripped of the valuable accessories which go to make up the complete car of today, it would be difficult to sell even the best of cars. The pam- pered purchaser has been led by the competition among the makers to de- mand the best that can be bought in equipment, and if manufacturers had been asked flve years ago to supply the line of dash instruments and oth- er auxiliary features which are found on every car of today he would have lifted his hands in despir and an- nounced that it could not be done. Stop at one of the spaces at the show and ask the exhibitor what equipment is furniched with his car. He will answer perhaps, that it is. “Of course, fully equipped.” ~ If you press him for details you will be sur- prised at the list that will be given you, unless you have been keeping in touch with the lengths to which manufacturers have gone this year to make the car complete at the pur- chase price. Electric lighting and starting which were put on the car for $100 extra in 1914, and even on some of the 1915 cars are now fitted on cars selling be- low $800. In addition to the starting and lighting units themselves, the ad- vent of the greater use of electricity has meant the fitting of expensive switches, ammeters, junction boyes, fuses, trouble lamps, extra search- lights, electric liamps, extra searc! lights, electric cigar lighters and even electric heaters. The bulb horn has disappeared, and in its place is an electric warning signal. Speedometers which would cost the owner between $25 and $50 are stan- dard equipment on all the cars eelling above $500. These instruments are precise and are made with the care of fine clocks, yet every car that goes out of the factories of today has a complete mpeed distance measuring device mounted upon it. ‘Windshields have been fitted for some years now, as have tops, side COTTON.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. curtains, robe ralls, foot reils, tools, pumps, jacks and tire irons. Yet not only have all these devices been kept upon the cars of 1916, but all of them have been essentially improved in many details. The windshield is a far better ap- pearing job today than it was two years or even one year ago. There is a marked tendency to rake it back- ward slightly this year, which tends to cut down the wind resistance of the car and at the same time lends a racy appearance to the vehicle. It is a built-in part of the car now and is not stuck on an afterthought. The result is that it conforms to _1ing of the car and really enhances the beauty of the entire design, instead of being merely a mass glass work The searchlights which are sup- plied on at least one car which has just been announced, are attached to the windshield and may be used for reading road signs at night, for ex- aming cross roads and a variety of purposes for which igible lamp is vallable. - The cigar lighter, of course, needs no comment. Anyone who has en- deavored to “light up” on a blustery day, with the car travellng at a smart rate, will appreciate the comfort of one ‘of these. They are not common- ly found on the cars of low price, yet announcements of cars so equipped selling for as low as $1,200 have been made. Shock absorbers are regular equip- ment of some cars. Radiator ther- mometers which indicate whether the water is at the right temperature and give an accurate clue to the per- formance of the motor are also sup- plied at the purchase price by some of the makers. Vacuum feed attach- ments should be mentioned in the lst of accessories now fitted to a majority of cars. This device has erfbled the manufacturer to eliminate the under seat tank, and thus provide much more storage space in the car by placing the tank In the rear. Dr. Walter F. Rittman, chemical engineer in the bureau of mines, has made an exhausive study of gasoline, the reasons for its advance in price and its substitutes. His report fol- lows: “In 1910 there were 350,000 auto- moblles in the country. “Now there are 2,250,000. “A million new ones are added annually, while about one-fourth that number are “scrapped” = z 3 “There are 700,000 gasoline en- gines working on farma, and 6,000,000 other farms are waiting to buy en- gines. “There are about boats in the country, gasoline. “The demand for gasoline fis in- creasing by leaps and bounds.

Now it is 300,000,000 to 400,000,000, or 30 to 40 per cent. of the whole production. “A year ago the great Cushing, Ok- lahoma, oil fleld was producing over 300,000 barrels of petroleum daily; now it is turning out less than 100,- 000. produces = 13 grea a air- 800,000 motor | Indigestion.

It gives about 30 per cent. gas- oline under the ol process. “California produces about 100,000,- 000 barrels of petroleum annually. Half of this contains no gasoline at all: the other half only about five per cent. gasoline.” The United States produces about 65 per cent. of the world's entire petroleum and gasoline supply. From these figures it is easy to see why prices go up. There is every reason to expect continued increase | of demand; little reason to hope that big, new supplies will be opened soon. China, Peru, Mexicoy Russia and other regions have big ofl fields, but none comparable to those of the United Ctates are known, and development has been retarded by the war in all those countries. Still, there's a . Dr. Ritt- man, inventor of it, explains it thus: “Petroleum contains kerosene, gas- oline, and a lot of other things—all useful. The difference between kero- sene and gasoline is simply that the moleuules of kerosene are about twice as blg as those of gasoline. They are otherwwise, identical; made of the same materfals. To make kerosene into gasoline it is only necessary to break the kerosene molecules in two. That's hard to do, considering that a drop of petroleum on the head of a pin contains a billion or two of mole- cules.” But Rittman found the process to Phone 581 MODERN PLUMBING is as essential in modern house aw electricity is to lighting.

The California ofl, which in its natural state has no gasoline at all, turns out 40 to G0 per cent. gasoline under Rittman's process. All that’s needed is to establish the Rittman system in all refineries—or some other process that will accomplish like results—and the trick js turned. That's what the refiners are beginning to do. The Stardard Ofl company has a different process that gets much the same re- sults: a number of independents are installing the Rittman method. A few years will see these processes Im- mensely increase the gasoline pro- duct, but if the demand confines to grow the prices will hardly drop again.

The discovery by owners of big expensive cars that approximately as much satisfaction | can be obtained from a less costly one is the first. - | The snow that has covered the| ground for the past three weeks has | caused many cay owners to put up their cars, but with the snow practi- cally gone now it is safe to predict that there will be many more cars| seen on the streets. “Closed motor cars of the right type ! take a lot of the terrors from win- ter,” says J. W. Gogarn, a Connecticut division manager of a certain motor | company. Oversize tires were primarily de-| signed for the exceptional hard ser- vice, but have come into general | favor because of extra strength, eas- | ter riding cushion and longer mileage, in fact experienced car owners specify the oversize tires in many instances for original equipment of new cars. The resiliency of larger tires reduces the traction slippage on rear wheels, adds to comfort and lessens vibration | to_the mechanism of the car. | Year around cars are proving popu- lar this winter, and practically every company is now putting out cars of this type. The advent of the top which fits the regular touring car body and may be removed for sum- mer use allows the motorists to use their cars all year, instead of storing them in winter. Inasmuch as the av- erage man now uses his automobile more or less for business purposes, he needs his car really more in the winter than In the summer. It is not quite right to say that tires made with asbestos fabric are new, for five years ago a patent was S secured on the tire, and a number of | pronjrotons Special Forms = and the tires have been placed under test. = The t&ts have proved satisfactory,| TEERE is no advertising meium ia but the option of the tire company on | Eastern Connecticut equal to The Buls the patent ran out. . _ lletin for pusizess results.
