J. A. Stoner, | manager of the Standard Motor Car Company, which handles the Aeme and | Ford cars, said last night: { “The statement made to the effect| that the manufacturers of the so-called | unlicensed cars who are members of | the American Motor Car Manufacturers’ | | Association have not enough capital to | menufacture cars and the parts needed | The Amer- | fcan Motor Car Manufacturers’ Associa- | tion represents twice as much capital | as the Association of Licensed Automo- | [ - The members of the California Women's & ing his new Oldsmobile limousine.

I claim that there have been sold twice as many unlicensed cars as licensed. With Manufacturers has only fought one concern? All its opposition has been centered on the Ford.” Clinton said last night: “This is the same discussion that comes up at all the shows.

Hawkins, the Western manager of the White Company, has returned from Chicago and is at the local show. In speaking of the display of the San Francisco dealers he said: “We have a better show here than that in Chicago. The show there was divided up into two buildings, a block apart, connected by a passageway. There were more cars at the Chicago show, but the effect at our show is more attractive by far. . . . The members of the California Woman's Automobile Club have planned a daylight parade for Saturday if the weather is clear. Mrs. Jules Gabriel, the secretary, sald yesterday that all the dealers had given automobiles for | the use of the members, and that there would be 225 cars in line.

PRESIDENT ANDCONRESS FRO UPON HARRIMAN Will Not Pay Him at This Session for Work on Colorado River DISPATCH TO THE CALL WASHINGTON, Feb. 21—E. H. Har- riman is up against it as a creditor of the United States, as his generosity in mdvancing money to repair the break In the Colorado River levee is not ap- preciated in Congress, and even the White House is cold. Harriman will not be reimbursed ut this session. Om the contrary, the administration is bolding his own claim as a club over him. Unless he agrees to turn the Califoraia Development Company’s sys- tem over to the Government it is pos- sible that Harriman will mever get a cent. He has expended more than $350,000, and his bill will be at least $500,000 when the work is finished. Maxwell Evarts, attorney for Harri- | man, came over from New York night | ore last. He represented that the | was drawing to a close, with | t bill still in the air, and| the President to push it through. | e President told Evarts to come ack later. He then sent for Director Walcott of the Geological Survey. Pro- fessor Walcott convinced the President that the Government should demand | the withdrawal of the California De- | velopment Company from the fleld in order that the reclamation service could have & free hand in the build- ing of a great irrigation project in Californis and Arizona. the meantime Representatives and Needham had seen Speaker and urged him to permit the SPRCIAL e “F esked Flint bill to come up. “Uncle Joe” would not’ listen to it. He reminded them that Western Congréssmen had virtually given the pledge when the mation bill was passed that no ts would be made for money | he treasury to assist irrigation jects. Cannon said also that if ie President had actually committed | e Government to repay Harriman would recommend a bill to square | account he would not stand in| the way of its passage. The President sent for Senator Flint and Representa- tive Smith. He heard from them what Speaker Cannon had sald, and in turn he told them his position. A dead- lock was disclosed. The President will not agree to any proposal which would not give the reclamation service a free hand in developing the project, and “Uncle Joe” will not listen to any proposition to appropriate money direct from the treasury for the Imperial Velley or any other irrigation project. The whole matter is dead for this ses- sion, and Attorney Evarts was so in- formed by the President and Senator Flint e —_———— Holcomb Realty Co.’s excursion to Decoto runs todey, rain or shive.

Bywaters, on the night of De- cember 15 last, within a few hours after he had been married to their sister, Viola Strothers. The “unwritten law’ will be the defense and the trial prom- ises to be sensational. Mrs. Bywaters has been in a critical condition since the night her husband was killed, but it is belleved she will be able to testify for the prosecution. Willlam Bywaters was a clubman, politician and generally a “good fellow” about town. One of the defendants, James Strothers, is a leading lawyer of ‘Welch and a member of the Legisla- ture. There is much feeling on the part of friends, political a;d otherwise, of the Bywaters and Strothers families and the legal fight will be a notable one. : After court had convened Common- ‘wealth Attorney Keith said it would be Inexpedient to secure a jury from this county and the court decided to have the jurors brought from Shenan- doah County, fifty talesmen being sum- moned.
