South Omaha democrats and their
allies propose to take a leaf out of
President Wilson's book and use tho
progressives for defeating republicans at
the next election. It Is said. In South
Omaha thero are not 100 progressives

Maxwell Sales Head
Banquets Dealers
from This Territory
John Toko, Omaha district manager for
tho Maxwell Motor Sales corporation,
gavo an Informal luncheon Thursday to
some of his dealers who happened to bo
In tho city attending tho Auto eIiow
and had them meet Sales Manager C. F
Redden from Detroit, Fred Stewart from
Dca Moines and Charles Nowby of Min
neapolis. Mr. Redden, who Is on his way to the
Pacific coast, stopped In Omaha to spend
a day with Mr. Yoko and congratulato
him on tho excellent work he has been
doing In the Omaha district during the
last six months and tho able manner In
which ho has won the confidence and
friendship of tho many dealers through
out Nebraska, Iowa, South Datota, Colo
rado and Utah, and particularly tho largo
number of orders ho bas been sending in
to the factory through tho winter months.
In reply to tho question as to how he
accounted for the popularity of his car,
Mr. Redden saldi
"It can all bo attributed to President
Flanders' far slghtedncss and his know
ledge of what tho automobllo public de
mands, by planning to build a dependable
five passenger car for $750."
Among those present at tho banquet
were: C. F. Redden, C. F. Stewart, C. R.
Newby, E. E. Christiansen, Kontopp
brothers, E. W. Allen, E. E. Mockett, J.
IL Jarvis, Roy Reed, Bert Phllpott, W.

L. Ij. Hanson, Clay Sadler, William

Willys-Knight Oar
Built So as to Be
Entirely Different
While the new Knlght-motorcd car
which President John N. Willys of the
Willys-Overland company, Toledo, O.,
has placed on the market embraces sev
eral' radical changes from accepted Amer
ican motqr standards, none Is attracting
more attention than that of upholstery.
In designing the seat and back cushions
of his now car Mr. Willys has adhered
to his original Intention of making the
Willys-Knight different. Ho has Intro
duced an interesting Innovation and at
the same time provided ono of tho most
luxurious and comfortable methods of
upholstering known to tho Industry..
In tho Wlllys-Knjght car tho rich, Im
ported leather of tho back and scat
cushions Js tufted in an -entirely now
manner. The tufts, so wide and deep
as to resemble nothing so much as an
easy cllalr In the home, run all th'o way
from top to bottom of the seat backs
and from front to back of tho scat
cushions. The accepted practice In au
tomobile upholstery has always been to
tuft the leather in squares, thus making
a series of blocks on which the pas
senger rested. In the Wlllys-Knlght up
holatery there Is practically an un
broken stretch of leather from top to
bottom, doing away entirely with the
succession of bumps and hills.

"I actually was surprised," said Mr
Greenwell, "that tho Omaha show Is as

pretentious displays of cars and pei
of bodies, but that Is more than offict
by the number of dealers who come here.

Mrs. Mary I Mathews, head of tho

sho considers tho project a most com
mendablo ono and of benefit, undoubt
edly, to Omaha and tho surrounding ter

buying, nnd the proper use and handling
of foods. She will endeavor io come

Miss Huldah Peterson of the boys' and

Testimony -Crnlir llelit for
(irnml Jury.
J. D. Grnvcnhurst, charged with steal
ing corn from a car In the Missouri Pa
cific yards hero, was discharged by
Ilorbcrt S. Daniel, United States commis
sioner, yesterday afternoon, when the only"
witness connecting Gravenhurst with tho
crime, wna DnVld Gard, who ad
mitted on the witness stand that
with his team nnd wagon ho hauled
several loads of tho stolen corn from the
boxcar to tho milt whero It was sold. He
was not prosecuted In the case, It was
snld, becauso ho acted as a stool pigeon
for tho pollco, telling them several days
beforo tho theft, that It was going to
occur. David Gard Is brother of Wesley
j-Gnrd, who, as n Juror In tho Taylqr libel
Milt, is nceuscd of perjury in denying
acquaintance with lawyer Bromo In or
der to keep himself on the Jury In tho
Interest of Drome nnd his client.
Gravenhurst had been In the employ of
the Missouri Pacific for fourteen years
and at tho tlmo tho robbery occurred, ho
was foreman of the switching crew In tho
Missouri Pnciflo yards. Gravenhurst, It
was charged, changed tho tags on tho
enr of corn, nnd had It switched to a
convenient siding, where the men could
bring their wagons nnd load them with
corn. Gnrd admitted being ono of tho
men who went to tho car, nnd said that
ho furnished a team nnd wagon to haul
tho corn nwny, and that ho was well
paid for his work.
Georgo Craig, who was formerly In tho
employ of tho Missouri Pnciflo and was
also charged with stealing com from a
car in Interstate commerce, was bound
over to tho federal grand Jury on a bond
of ll.COO.
Commissioner Daniel evidently placed
little reliance In tho testimony offered by
Gnrd, and when no other witness con
nected Gravenhurst with tho transaction,
ho was given his liberty.
