SEASON-PROMISES WELL FOR DEALERS iU Macbloes Wklefc C Be Preo-ed of tone Models Are Alreody : Sola on Dcad U for More. The second annual automobile show, by tb. Omaha Automobile association and th. Omaha Auditorium company, will be held In the Auditorium March 13 to 16, Inclusive. Freparatlona for a'.how that will far sur paaa that of laat year have all bwn made. There will be a much lartrer and more varied array of machine! on exhibition and the wonderful 'new airship, "NebrasKa," now almoet completed at H. B. FTedrick- ton'i shop on Capitol avenue, will be on exhibition. This arlshtp Is seventy feet long and la a marvel of mechanical skill and workmanship. It undoubtedly will emit a sensation the coming; season, a It alls around over Omaha and the surround ing country, Another popular feature of the . automo- 141a show will be the moving picture show, wTdoh will be given ' each evening at S 45 end 1 30 o'clock. These pictures are the genuine reproduction of the great autotno ' Mle races which took place In France laat urn Bier, also the great races pulled off at Ormond Beach. Florida, last winter, and several humorous automobile stunts. Au tomobile pictures are always popular, as Is evidenced whenever any of these are placed on the screens at the theaters. A ,new automobile dashed up Farnam street one day last week with J. J. Derlght In the front seat, which attracetd the at tentlon of all pedestrians from the east and speed with which It climbed the hill. The "machine was a Stoddard-Dayton high power runabout, with a tiger seat behind. It had a rakish, racy appearance and looked as though It might be able to go the seventy miles per hour for which It was built. Before night Mr. Derlght had old five of these machines, or all he had contracted for from the factory, and the supply was exhausted. ' Bis; Demand for M.ehloe.. The above Is a sample of the rush In the automobile business In Omaha at the present time. Never since the first auto mobile struck Omaha has there been such a demand for machines, especially ma chines of a high grade, and the dealers have no difficulty In selling all the high class automobiles they are able to get Harrtman, J. Redlck, le Bpratlln, Hugo Brandetes, A. A. Allen. EX V. Lewis, B C. Patterson, B. M. Gibson and others. Powerful "Jew Ranaboat. The most powerful and expensive runa bout which has been sold In Omaha this year was bought last week by C. W. Hull from the Powell Automobile company. It Is a (0-40 horse power Pope-Toledo racing runabout, but Mr. Hull does not propose to use If for racing purposes. It will arrive in Omaha 'April 1 and It la said no machine will come to Omaha this year which can touch It for power. It Is built to run seventy miles an hour and It built on foreign lines throughout, modeled closely after the famous Italian racing Flat. The car Is made of chrome nickel steel which is over three times as strong as ordinary steel and costs ten times as much In the rough. The car will come equipped as. a runabout with seats for two and will have rumble seat behind to accomodate the mechanician. Among the purchasers of Franklin auto mobiles so far this season are W. J. Hynes of the Hynes Oraln company, who bought a big six cylinder touting car; E. 8. West brook of the Transmlsslppi Oraln company. who tjought a four cylinder runabout; E. M. Fairfield, who will run a four cylinder touring car. All of these formerly ran Franklins and decided upon the same car for this year. N. B. Updike ran a 1903 Franklin runabout to last spring when he bought a 14,000 sis cylinder car of the same make. A. P. Oulou has placed his order for a type D Franklin with complete touring car equipment. Hersog Bros, of Harvard,. Neb., have three big Franklins now in transit from the factory. These were bought through the Powell Automobile company. A Frank lin recently oroesed the continent from the Pacific to the Atlantic, a Journey of over 4,000 miles, in a little over fifteen days, cutting the best previous record In half. In an efficiency contest held recently the Franklin went eighty-seven miles on two gallons of gasoline In one test and ninety five miles on, the two gallons In another test Haadaome New Electric. Last Thursday the Powell Automobile company delivered to Mrs. A. D. Brandels her new Baker electric Victoria. This la tho latest product of the Baker factory, whoes machines are known as the aristo crats of motordom." Mrs. Brandels' car has a mileage capacity of eighty miles on a single charge and will travel at the rate of twenty miles an hour. It Is one of the handsomest machines ever brought to Omaha. The Powell Automobile company will have a number of new Baker carriages on exhibition at the coming automobile show Amcng these will be the new $4,00C brougham. from the factories. The five machines men- l Among the out-of-town purchasers of ma. tloned were sold to Herman Peters of the J chines from Omaha det Me-chants hotel, Mosher O. Colpetier, E. A. Cudahy, Jr., Ed Allen and Lee Mc i Bhane. The runabout has a 113-Inch wheel base and looks to be built for speed. Mr. Peters gets the second machine which will arrive in Omaha and It Is to be a machine built especially, for N. F. Harriman. Mr. Harriman had to have hta order changed to a slower machine on order from his physician, who said the machine was alto gether too fast for Mr. Harriman to use when he took his baby out for a ride, and that was what he wanted the runabout for. Mr. Derlght has received a Btoddard-Day-ton, built especially for the Omaha show. It Is a beauts, being finished throughout In polished steel and natural wood. After the Omaha show it will be sold In Omaha. All parts of the engine are polished, giving It a most finished appearance. The Derlght Automobile company also sells the Ford, Keo and Mason automobiles. Mr. Derlght contracted for twenty-five Stoddard-Day. tons and they have all been sold and Mr. Derlght has sent a man back to the factory to try to secure some more. ' Frank Colpetser has bought a $6,000 Stod dard-Dayton touring car of which he Is especially proud, as It will be one of the largest machines In Omaha. A Chicago agent of the Stoddard-Dayton has wired offering Mr. Derlght $200 apiece for each Stoddard-Dayton which he will let stop in Chicago, but as all of the twenty-five machines have been sold there will be noth lng doing for Chicago. Those who have bought Stoddard-Daytons are W. H. Mc- Cord, O. C Redlck. W. A. Redlck, N. F. dealers probably the highest priced car went to R. A. Romans of Denlson, la., who bought a type XV Pope Toledo' touring car, which, with Its equipment, will cost over $6,000. It will be delivered to Mr.' Romans after the Omaha show, where it will be on exhibi A. Z. Fleming of Des Moines and Dr, D. C Seiner of Sutton, Neb., bought 'light touring cars from the Powell Automobile company last week. Following the arrangements made by Omaha dealers, by which they are to Job automobile supplies from Omaha, there has been a big boom In the tire and supply business from Omaha. Dealers throughout Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota are taking advantage of the .quicker. deliveries and also the saving in freight bills, and are now sending orders here which formerly went to Chicago and other eastern points. For the first time In the history of the business an Omaha firm Is able to sell tires arid all accessories at the same price as the factories, and this makes quite a saving to the country dealers when freight and time of delivery la considered. The Powell Automobile company has set aside the rear room of the garage for the exclusive use of the electrlo machines and has added a complete new charging plant, Largest Machine In' City. The Kimball Automobile company handles the Stevens-Duryea, the 8tanley steamer and the Babcock electrics. In Its magnlfl cent garge it has a large supply of ma chines and will have a large number add tlonal automobiles for the show. In th garage Is stored at present the largest automobile In Omaha, Fred Hamilton's Stevens-Duryea slx-cylnder giant. WUh Its red wheels and green body It will at tract attention from all at the ahow, where It will be placed on exhibition. For three years the Stevens-Duryea fwople have been making a six-cylinder machine with little change, and It is looked upon as a fixture. One other big six will be sold In Omaha this year, and that Is all that can be secured. Several little sixes have also been sold, the purchasers being C. W. Hull, O. W. Wattles. J. A. McShane, E. L Cudahy, Louis Mets and Frank Parmalee. Manager Llonberger Is In charge of the Kimball garage during the absence of R. R. Kimball In Florida for the winter. Dr. Ooeti has bought a Stevens-Duryea runabout. In which he mill strive to keep out of the hands of the police, end E. H. Sprague has bought a Stanley steamer, which Mrs. Sprague will also run this sum mer, i A new firm has opened out In Omaha near Eighteenth and Farnam streets, where Maxwell machines will be sold. It has es tablished Itself In the new Dufrene build ing and has the place fixed up In elaborate style. The Maxwell people will not main tain a garage, but simply a salesroom. Fredrlckson Dolus; Well. H. B. Fredrlckson has large clientele all over Nebraska and Western town and numerous Inquiries coming in show auto mobiles will be In demand more than ever this summer.. The country was never as prosperous as at the present time and a large number of cars will be sold during the summer to the country trade. Mr. Fredrlckson has eight car loads of two cylinder Bulcks now on hand and will re ceive four car loads of four cylinder Bulcks before the opening of the show. The Bu!ck runabout promises to be one of the swell- est of Its kind, with style and tone to match the speed. Fredrlckson handles Bulcks, Wood s Electrics, the Peerless and the Thomas Flyer, and all these will be exhibited at the show. Inquiries from all over the ter ritory surrounding Omaha show there will j be a large attendance at the show. A few customers are getting anxious to get their new cars out on the streets before the show, others are waiting to see the new things that will be shown there. In a few Instances special orders have been placed with the understanding that the cars are to be placed on exhibition and de livered . to the purchasers Immediately fterward. Several people are now figuring on using automobiles for mall and stage routes for the Inland towns one customer expects to put three of them In use very shortly. ' Several second hand cars have changed hands lately and the sellers are all placing their orders for larger machines. Some of Fredrlckson's out-of-town pur chasers the past week were: F. R. Hughes, Logan Land company W. J. Wlllars, O. B. Tegelberg, Jordan Hardware company, L. F. Stllllans. Most of the cars have been shipped out on account of the bad roads. The airship "Nebraska," which is to be one of the attractions of the show, is Hear ing completion. The frame completed Is 36 feet long and weighs but 68 pounds, Includ ing the areoplanes. One hundred and eighteen castings are used for reinforcing the Joints. The silk air bag will be cigar shaped, 65 feet long and 20 feet In diameter through the , center. It consists of 730 separate pieces of silk which are all double seamed. Three sewing machines have been employed steadily since Monday morning on this work;. Aatomoblle ., Xews . Notes. The Rambler Automobile company Is re ceiving Its new models and delivering them as fast as they get them. The sales so far this season are equal to the Orders taken up to May 20 of last year, twenty nine cars sold since January 1, and a large percentage of the delivered, being the rec ord up to date. The new Rambler models are creating no end of attention on ac count of the Important Improvements over last 'year, one of the principal features being the enclosed transmission and fly wheel running In oil, and the tilting body giving accessibility to the engine. Longer wheela base, more power and less noisn, with an appearance not to be found on cars costing a third more money, make them most popular two-cylinder cars. The model 21, which Is the two-cylinder twenty-two- horse power machine,' is said . to be the most powerful two-cylinder car ever brought to Omaha. No hin looks too big for the new Rambler, every one of them being taken on high speed. A number of orders has already been taken for these machines, Cornell brothers at Ord getting the first one, and Mrs. Maul and her son, Mr. Jacobs of Omaha, getting one of the twenty-four models which will be exhibited at the show. The Rambler Automobile company ex tends an Invitation to all old friends and their new ones to visit It during the show and to make its booth at the show their headquarters while at the Auditorium. At the salesroom It mil) keep "open house" and will be happy to meet all Interested In automobiles, and whether they purchase or not, wants them to have a ride In the new Rambler while visiting the show. Pemon-tratlons from the salesroom will be made, and all visitors are cordially wel come. Thomas Farnsworth of Council Bluffs has placed his order with the Rambler' com pany for one of a model 21 Rambler. The car will' be specially equipped with 82x4 wheels and the Hartford-Dunlop antl-skld tires. In addition, a swell black pantasote top will be provided, which gives Mr. Farnsworth an Ideal touring car for all weather and road conditions. It is hoped the car will be here by show time. In which event it will be on, exhibition at tlje sales rooms of the Rambler company. William Lana and F. A. Stevens of Har lan, la., . have purchased Rambler cars, their decision falling on the popular model 21. Mr. Lana, who Is a bridge contractor, expects to use his car in making his rounds In the western portion of Iowa, and with the removable tonneau, will con vert the car into a business tourabout, which will give him amply twenty-three horse power. J. L. Sims, grain man and telephone owner of Danbury, Neb., came to Omaha last week and purchased a model 21 Ramb ler. The car has complete equipment with a handsome pantasote top. Shipment was made Friday. E. E. Mockett of Lincoln, the Rambler representative of that place, received a car load of Ramblers a week ago last night, and the following Monday was In Omaha with deposits on five more cars, saying his entire car load was Rpoken for. The Rambler has a secure place with the automobile fraternity 'at Lincoln, It being a strictly Rambler town, and with brighter prospects for the coming season than ever.

HARRIMAN ON LATE HEARING Uii.n Faoifio President Paji Bothinc 5ew Transpired in H.w York. COMMISSION IS SAID TO BE UNFAIR Railroad Magnate Alleges Federal Board Offers Ho Incentive to Men to Be Successful In Bnslneas. WASHINGTON. March 2.-EL II. Harri man, who is In Washington for a few days, accompanied by his family. In discussing the recent Investigation by the Interstate Commerce commission In New York, today said: "There was not a single new point brought out In the Inquiry. It was simply a rehnxh of matter that was given wide publicity seven years ago. This continual reform agitation simply shows the enormity that ef equipment trust notes, but these latter are being paid out of the Income, so that the amounts are withheld from the security holders until the equipment trust notes and bonds are redeemed, and therefore It is not altogether a capital charge. So It would seem that for flOT.OnO.OnO of securities Issued $00,0n0,on0 has been paid out. There may tw between $2,ono,ono and $4&i0,flno obli gations not .Included In the above. In cluding this, would make the amount of obligations to date about $110,000,000, Instead of $107,000,000. Our payment to security holders has not Increased, taking Into ac count $22,000,000 of new capital put In the property. "The annual Increase In the Interest pay ment and dividends Is ISOO.OnO at the most, after spending $22,000,000 on the property. The business has been Increased three-fold because of that Increase In facilities, brought about by these expenditures." Mr. Harriman also pointed out that the Chicago & Alton listing circular, issued In 1900, referred to the payment of the 30 per cent dividend upon" the preferred and com mon stock. "When this point was brought out at the New York hearing." he said. exists today against men nd corporations "the Interstate Commerce commissioners that have made a success. The Interstate Commerce commission could produce far better results If the members would try to co-operate with the business Interests cf the countryi Instead of antagonising them. In view of the unfair methods as car ried on by the administration cf the Interstate Commerce commission, there Is no Incentive for a man to be suc cessful, but I am sure fhat In the end the American spirit of old of 'fair play' will prevail. That Is more to the purpose thsn a 'square deal. We may have a 'square deal, but unfair play. There seems to be a tendency among all unsuccessful people to assail those who are successful. All Charges Old. "All the so-called charges made at the recent hearing In New York are fully cov ered In the application In October, 1900, for listing the Chicago k Alton railway securi ties In the New York Stock exchange and every point brought out by ,the Interstate Commerce commissioners the other flay were given publicity at that time. This circular to which I refer mentioned the fact that $31.9SS.O0O In 3 per cent bonds were sold to the stockholders at 65. and that the amount, t22.444.177.ee. that had formerly been charged to Income were properly charged to construction. It was stated at that time that the charter of the Chicago ft Alton Railroad company provided for new construction and hat the line had been surveyed, but had net yet been con structed. It cost the Chicago & Alton Railway company for the St.. Louis, Peoria A Northern Railway company for fifty seven miles about $42,000,000. There was expended on the property abcut JIH.OflO.OOO, the proceeds of the sale of $31,000,000 of re funding Ss and the collateral trust bonds, against which $7,000,000 of the refunding Ss produced $26,000,000, making a total of $90,000,000.
