TEXAS RAISERS FIND WYOMING
EMULATION OF AUSTRALIAN
PRACTICE OF INTEREST.
Staff Special to The Eiprots.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June _9.-Of in-
terest to Texas sheep raisers is a state-
ment by the Department of Agriculture
that considerable progress has been made
In the movement to secure better prepa-
ration of wool clips in the Western States
The sheepmen of Carbon and Sillwater
Counties, Wyoming, have inaugurated a
change that should be of great interest and
value to all sheep-raising sections. The
complete Australian method of grading
and packing -cool, and also modifications
of the same were tried. It is well known
that the preparation of wool in our West-
ern wool-growing States is behind that
used in Australia and New Zealond. In
these countries the wool is examined when
it is sheared, only one grade being put
into a bale, and the bales of the same lot
are uniform. The fleeces are carefully
sorted and each fleece is of even, service-
able quality.
A representative ot the department who
visited several shearing sheds in the North-
west states that the work attracted wide
attention. Visitors were unmerous at each
of the sheds and most of them were sheep
owners, who are ready to adopt such new
methods as may be found practical. It
was apparent, however, that the shorter
wools now common in the Western States
cannot be passed over tables for skirting
and rolling nearly as satisfactorily as
lonegr wools. Nevertheless they can be
graded to remove the necessity of opening
the bags before they reach the mills.
The decision of the United States Su-
preme Court, knocking out the "grand-
father clause," designed to protect illiter-
ate white men from the voting tests ap-
plied to negroes, encourages the Congres-
sional Union for Woman Suffrage in their
efforts to have Congress accept the Susan
B. Anthony amendment to put women on
an equality with men at the ballot box.
"We think that the opinion handed down
by Chief Justice White will help the cause
of the Federal amendment for woman suf-
frage," said Miss Lucy Burns, vice chair-
man of the Union, today.
"It leaves the State governments free
to impose such educational tests as they
may think necessary; it merely forbids the
exemption of one class of voters from tests
which are applied to others.
"We hold that where women meet fairly
and squarely the electoral tests imposed
on men, they should not be disfranchised
merely because they arc women.
"It is absurd that the United States
Government forbids a State to discrimi-
nate politically against a neg'o as a
negro, and does not forbid it to discrimi-
nate against women as women.
"A more open declaration of the politi-
cal inferiority of women as a class to ne-
groes as a class could not be thought of."

H
The mark of superior
mttor car service
Dear Mr. Automobile Buyer:—
I have just come back from the Hupmobile convention.
On a big steamship up near the Soo they showed us the new cars
for 1916.
Very shortly I shall hope to show them to you.
But 1 can't wait for that time to come.
*
I must tell you, in advance, something about the treat that's in
store for you.
You know by this time, of course, that the new Hupmobile (five-
passenger touring car) sells for $1,085.
iMaybe that doesn't mean such a great deal to you now.
But wait until you see the car!
1 mean that.
,^'ait. Don't even think of buying a new car this summer until our
demonstrating Hupmobile is here.
For the better part of three days I heard the men who make Hup-
mobiles tell what is in this car and how it is built.
And I honestly believe it is impossible to put into any car, no matter
what the price, better materials than they use in the new
Hupmobile.
Quality rules all through—in the motor, the transmission, the rear
axle, the springs, the bearings, the body, the upholstery, the
finish and the equipment.
If you rode in the 1915 Hupmobile, you will recall how very com-
fortable it was.
The new car is even more comfortable; its upholstery is thicker and
softer—and it's real hair and leather.
Its performance is better, too, due to an increase in power; though
all tests show the new car to be up to the Hupmobile mark
for economy.
The Hupmobile has a great line this year—seven models.
In addition to the five-seater, there are a seven-passenger touring
car and roadster; removable enclosed tops for the five-passen-
ger and the roadster; a fine sedan and a limousine that for
beauty and room will match the most expensive you ever saw.
If these aren't the handsomest cars in America in addition to being
Hupmobiles in the best sense of that good name—then I don't
know a thing about motor cars.
I met everybody connected with the Hupp Motor Car Company,
from President Drake to Engineer Watts.
I swapped impressions of the new cars with three hundred Hup-
mobile dealers.
And I didn't encounter a man who didn't agree that these cars
made even the shining record of previous years look dim by
comparison.
I'm enthusiastic, I admit—but if your enthusiasm doesn't outdo
mine when we show you the cars I'll be the most surprised man
in town.
Come in and let me tell you about the big Hupmobile Convention
and the wonderful 1916 Hupmobile line.
Yours very truly,
5. W. SMITH, Pretident

If there are as many an fifty or even
a hnudred jitney automobiles using the
streets of Sail Autonlo today, forty-six
or ninety six of them, as the ease may
be, will be operating in violation of the
law.
At a special meeting of the City Com-
missioners held yesterday afternoon the
applications of but four jitney owners
to operate ears were granted. Thirty -
two applications were considered, twenty
seven were rejected and one was held
up until the applicant might correct his
petition.
It was the first meeting at which the
Commissioners gave real consideration to
Jitney applications. Two or three times
before they attempted to ' go into this
question, and once got far enough to re-
turn the petitions to City Clerk Fries with
s request they first be returned to the
applicants for revision and then tabu
lated. Tbe owners were tardy In filing
new applications, with the result only
thirty two had been tabulated when the
Commissioners convened.
In most, instances satisfactory data was
given to the city with reference to pro-
posed routes, but only in four cases was
it definitely stated a liability bond issued
by sn indemnity company authorized to
do business in Texas would be given. These
applications promptly were granted.
Twenty of the petitioners declared they
would give bond "acceptable to the city."
This was held insufficient by Mayor
Brown, who insisted the jitney owners
had received sufficient Instructions as to
Just what tbe city required in th<j way of
a bond.
Seven applicants failed to tell whether
they would give bond. No consideration
was given to these petitions and they
were rejected.
A. G. Stodgel. president of the Auto
Service Association, the jitney organiza
tion, told the officials many of the appli-
cants used the words "bonds acceptable to
the city" because they had not determined
whether any of the indemnity companies
bidding for the business would be able
to meet the city's requirements. In his
opinion, only twenty five or thirty of the
Jitney owners would be able to give an
Indemnity company bond; the others would
retire from the five-cent passenger busi-
ness.
Petitions were granted to the following:
6. P. Phillips, 40 years old, 1320 North
Flores Street.
\S'. C. Bradburry, age not given, 1012
South Presa Street.
R. William Egli, -1 years old, 14'J0 South
Flores Street.
A. J. Bussen, 35 years old, 228 Arcinlega
Street.
Bond's will have to be filed with the City
Clerk at once by those whose permits were
granted.
At a meeting to be held tomorrow after-
noon the Commissioners will consider ap-
plications which have not yet been tabu-
lated.

In financial circles thai the plan makes
definite provision for new preferred and
common shares In place of such securities
now outstanding, and also provides for a
scaling down of Junior bonds. Such a
process would enable the company to re
duce Its fixed charges by between $2,000,000
and $3,000,000. other changes Involving
further economies were said to figure in
the plan.
