All You Have Heard in Praise for the Essex
Applies to This Model--Note Its Wide Utility
E
ssex Favorite
This is the latest Essex to win its way witli
that large motoring class that now realize the
alvantago of light , weight and sturdy, durable
construction.
Heretofore roadsters were available in two dis
. tinct classes only. One was the light car, attrae-'
tivo principally for its low price and the operating
cost. The other large, heavy and costly. An
impressive car because of , its size, comfortable,
durable and exclusive because so few could afford
a two scater, that in all essential respects is as
' expensive to oporato as a seven passenger.
. But those who wanted an economical, reliable
oar, who wanted comfort, performance and a car
they could be proud to own had no other choice.
But Now Essex
Fills the Bill
It, like the touring model, makes its appeal i.i
all the most wanted qualities. It is light in weight,
but is also durable and comfortable to ride in.
'It has performance that makes it a leader in
" any group of fast traveling cars. 1 Essex owners
'are never distanced if they want to lead. .
The lines are attractive. .The durability is of
. the standard established by more than 18,000
Essex cars now in service.
Makes Ideal
Business Car .
Many business houses use Essex roadsters.
They paid perhaps less attention to its appear
ance than to its endurance. They were not so
much interested in its speed as in freedom from
mechanical care. Thcir salesmen have not tlie
time for roadside tinkering. Appointments must
be kept. Traveling schedules-must not be inter
rupted, and the driver must not be wearied by
v riding, driving delays or attention to the car. ,
' . They chose the roadster because of what others
have said in its prqse. . They heard the same good
things said for it that you hear. Surely no car ,
ever had more enthusiastic friends. , Thirty
million dollars paid by individual users mark the -confidence
all have for Essex.
Roadster Has Large
. Carrying Space
Suit and sample cases can be carried unseen
tinder the rear deck. Provision is (made for such
large articles as trunks. ,
Inspectors, salesmen and professional men par
ticularly like the Essex. It meets their wants in
performance and reliability. It gratifies their
taste in looks. They like its rattle proof con
struction. They like the way it retains its new
ncss. And, of course, Jhey like the car that takes no
back position for even, the most powerful and
fastest cars. '
Tlie ease with which the Essex can be driven,
its short length permitting parking in spaces ,
too small for most cars, and its good looks are
marks of advantage you hear everyone talking
about.. . ,
The Essex roadster is as distinctive in its ad
vantages as the touring and sedan models. No
buyer will go far wrong if his car selection is
based on what owners say for it. And what car
enjoys such endorsement as the Essex?

TSZBYICE FIRST'
Omaha, U.S. A;
Phone: 'Douglas 1970
i , : ;
Washington, ' Nov. IS. (Special
Telegram) Congressman Jefferis,
who has shown a lively interest in
consideration of the railroad bill
now pending in the house, at a late
hour Friday night spoke in favor
of an amendment to the hill offered
by Representative Mooncy of Ohio,
providing that no railroad subject to
the act shall abandon all or any
portion of a line of railroad of the
operation thereof until there shall
have been obtained from the com
mission a certificate that the pres
ent or future public convenience and
necessity permit of such abandon
ment." ' The bill, as jt came from the in
terstate and foreign commerce com
mittee, places a limitation upon the
construction of new lines and the
extension of old lines unless there
has been obtained from the com
mission, provided by the bill, cer
tificate to the effect that public con-'
venience and necessity requires said
construction and .operation.
Built by Initiative.
Mr Jefferis. in supporting the
Mooney amendment in striking out
the restriction placed upon the
building of new roads and the ex
tension and operation of bid lines,
said that when the results that have
been accomplished through the ini
tiative of the railroads in extending
their lines and opening up frontiers
to settlement and industry are re
membered? he thought the house
ought to go slow in putting on the
brakes.
He suggested that if Daniel Web
ster had been on the Interstate Com
merce commission some years ago.
when the distinguished New Eng-
lander referred to the great west as
a desert, there would not have been
a railroad to cross the plains of this
great country "But there were men
having foresight to see the possi
bilities' and the nerve to risk their
funds and. their energy in building
the railroads of the western and
northwestern portions of this coun
try." he continued.
"Because of that fact we have
opened up the great grain producing
sections of this country and the
great timber interests of this coun
try, and it seems to me now that if
we adopt .this provision as proposed
in the bill it will then be up to all of
the railroads that are established to
use their influence, to use all of the
power that they possess before the
Interstate Commerce commission, to
oppose the bnilthng of any roads
in any section of this country."
Eriect on Umana Koaa.
Tlavine in mind the desire of many
substantial citizens of Omaha to con
struct a new rail line from .Soutn
Dakota to Omaha, a charter for a
ffw bridge across the Missouri river
between these two states, as the
first step in this --direction, having
recently passed congress, the Omaha
congressman said:
"I know that in our own section
of the state of Nebraska and in the
state of South Dakota to the north
of us there has been an effort, and
there' is now a purpose to build a
new railroad which will open up a
great territory and give access to a
number of people who are situated a
long distance from railroads. And
yet if they come here before the
interstate commerce commission I
know there would be at least two
railroads that arc now getting mac
business, but which are compelling
the. oeroDle to haul produce for a
long distance in order to reach the
railroad, which will use all of their
influence to oppose the granting ot
this permission.
It seems to me that mis congress
should legislate in favor of opti
mism, m tavor ot opening new ter
ritory, rather than putting a brake
on it and making it necessary for
anybody who wants to organize a
new railroad to go to an this trouDie
before they can use their own
money and enter into an enterprise
to open up a new territory to. give
service to the people who are now
a long distance from the railroads."

Storm Subsides That Sent
At Least One Ship Down
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Nov. IS.
The storm that .for three days
whipped the waters of Lake Superior
into an almost unnavigable sea sent
to destruction at least one ore car

of two others, has subsided. With
the abating of the gale it was ex
pected more thorough search-of the
south shore would be made for the
steamer John Owens, overdue here,
and the carrier Griffin, unheard from
since it left Ashland, Wis., last Mon
day night. . ,
None of the ships locking through
the canals here up to noon today
reported having sighted either the
Owens or the Griffin.

Alleged German Spy'
. To Face Trial Before
.Naval Court-Martial
Washington, Nov. 15. Steps for
trial by naval court-martial of Her
man Wessels, alias Carl Rodiger,
alleged German spy and officer of
the German navy, arrested May 1,
last year, in New iork Uty and in
dicted" by a federal grand jury on
charges of treason and conspiracy to
commit espionage, have been taken
by the Navy department.
Wessels, who has been confined in
the Tombs prison since his arrest,
has not been brought to trial . on
the indictment because of a c3urt
ruling in the case of another alleged
spy arrested with him that convic
tion of treason, under the construc
tion of the statutes, required two
witnesses to eacluovert act.
Pof 4hat reason, the attorney gen
eral, through the "United States at
torney in New York, last July re
quested the Navy denartmeut to
take cognizance of Wessels' case,
and try him as a spy by naval court
martial under authority of the stat
utory articles giving the navy juris
diction in cases of espionage or
"corruption" directed against the
navy. ' .
Charges of espionage against
Wessels ' have been formulated by
the naval authorities and a court
for his trial has been organized in
New York. . .
This is the first case of alleged
espionage during the war over which
the navy has assumed jurisdiction.
OFFERS OF HOMES
OF LITTLE AVAIL
TO BEATRICE BOY
Father Flanagan Indignant at
Summary Treatment of Lad
Iowa Woman Writes
Of Imprisonment.
Byron Michael, Beatrice boy, the
story of whose sentence to the
Kearney Industrial institution for
nine years aroused such interest and
sympathy when it was published in
The Bee a few weeks ago, has not
escaped from that fate in spite of
many offers to give him a home.
Letters are still being received by
The Bee on his case from persons
who want to give a home to this boy,
consigned to such a severe fate for
the crime of stealing a few books
from the Beatrice library.
Mrs. Luclla 1 Hawn of Jefferson,
la., has written to The Bee, stating
that she wrote recently to the mayor
of Beatrice asking to have the boy
sent to her home.
"He wrote me that Byron Michael
is serving his sentence and could not
be paroled until he had served 18
months," writes Mrs. Hawn.
Rev. Father Flanagan, who con
ducts a home for boys in Omaha, is
indignant at the summary treatment
of this bright boy.
"I telegraphed to the judge who
sentenced Byron as soon as I rear
the article in The Bee." said Fathei
Flanagan. "He did not even hav
the courtesy to answer my telegram
in which I offered to. take Byron intc
my home anir give him every chance
to make good. The judge's name is
L. M. Pemberton.
"I am going to write a letter to
him and demand an explanation of
why the boy was sent to Kearney
when so many people were anxious
to give him a good home."
The only way for Byron to be
pardoned now, according to Proba
tion Officer A. H. Vosburg, is for the
State Board of Control to take ac
tion with consent of R. V. Clark,
superintendent of the Kearney insti
tution. "Soine boys, by extremely good
conduct, have worked their way out
in nine months,' 'said Mr. Vosburg, .
"Usually they get out in 18 month
if they are reasonably well-behaved."
