THOUSANDS SEE NEW AUTOS

where the automobile men worked
their strategy. Lounging comfortably
in the tonneau of the Allen car were
three genuine Hawaiians who reeled
off romantic lullabies on stringed In
struments. Nobody knows Just" what
they were playing when Mr. Barnard
and Miss Duncan came along that aisle,
but anyhow the couple didn't leave un
til Mr. Barnard signed the contract
that gave him title to the car that is to
be given in the near future to his
chosen bride-to-be. .
F. W. Vogler. of the Northwest Auto
Company, also claims that he sold a
car last night.' a Keo Six. but he says
he is not allowed to make the details
public because the purchaser is an ac
cessory dealer who wants to keep his
Identity from the auto dealers as long
as possible.
lllgk-Pnwered MedeU Attract.
In point of interest the multi-cylinder
cars attracted the major share of
attention at both exhibits. Last year
one or two of the pioneers in multi
cylinder construction created an ex
treme sensation at the Portland show
with sample models of the first eights
put on the market.
Perhaps the outstanding feature was
the large number of stripped chassis
at the Armory exhibit, many of which
had been shipped to Portland from San
Francisco, where they were displayed
during the Panama-Pacific Exposition.
Almost all of these cutaway cars were
connected up with electrical equip
ment and all of the operating parts, in
cluding the motor, the transmission,
the differential and the wheels, were
kept in operation throughout the even
ing. The following stripped chasses were
on display last night: Bulck. Mitchell.
KUselKar. Maxwell, Reo, Saxon. Chal
mers and llupmobile.
Seattle Flraaa Have Dlaplaya.
Two Seattle exhibitors were repre
sented on the floor of the Armory, the
Parker Motor Car Company with a
Pullman car and the Cox Motor Car
Company with a Grant Six.
Even in the afternoon many flocked
into the Multnomah lobby to see Port
land's first salon show. The piece de
resistance of this exhibit was, of
course, the original model A Packard,
made In Warren. O.. more than 1 years
ago. which was shipped to Portland
from the San Francisco exposition. In
addition the Riges company displayed
a Packard twin Bix chassis, a seven
passenger Packard touring car. two
five-passenger phaetons, a Jeffery
stripped chassis. Sedan, touring car and
roadster.
The Covey display Included a white
Cadillac chassis, a Cadillac inclosed
car. a Cadillac touring car and road
ster, a Dodge coupe, a Dodge touring
car. and a Dodge roadster with white
wire wheels. l .
Faetery Representative Here.
Among the factory men who arrived
yesterday to admire Portland's shows
were H. R. Roberts. Northwestern rep
resentative fofc the Hupp Motor Car
Company; F. B. Keip. of the Chandler
Motor Car Company: Owen McCusker.
of the Paige Motor Car Company; Jack
Griffin, of the Maxwell Motor Sales
Corporation, and Nelson S. Gotshall, of
the Hollier "8" factory.
No one knew Mr. Gotshall was com
ing until this telegram came to E. E.
Gerlinger: "Meet me at Shasta this
afternoon with brass band and pretty
girl." True to schedule when Mr.
Gotshall stepped into the street from
the depot corridors he was greeted
by the music of an organ, ground to
agony by a dark Italian. To the tune
of this Instrument the factory man was
paraded through the main streets of
Portland and ushered to the Benson
Hotel, much to the delight of the pass
ertby along the streets.

Stewart. With a lung perforated and
an arm broken by bullets, he hovered
between life and death. All through
the ordeal he stubbornly refused to
tell his name or anything about him
self. It was not until the publication
of his picture in the newspapers that
he was identified.
Byron Campbell, merchant at 1563

at 65J Nehalem street, saw the photo

Refusal by the prisoner to give any

Prosecution of Mrs. Sanger
Arouses Women Here.
BIRTH LIMIT IS FAVORED
Club Members Says Mothers First
Should Be Able to Care for Fam
ilies Before More Babes
Are Born In Poverty.
Mrs. Margaret Sanger, birth control
advocate, was extolled by several Port
land clubwomen yesterday when they
discussed the trial of Mrs. .Sanger
which opened in the Federal Court of
New York- yesterday. The charges
against the woman are that she pub
lished certain articles in "Woman
Rebel."
"The problems of poverty nd unem
ployment will be solved when mothers
have a few children and care for and
educate those they have." said Mrs. L.
T. Newton, president of Ladd Parent
Teacher Association, who strongly ad
vocates giving to the working masses
knowledge that she says will make for
a better race.
"No woman should have more chil
dren than she can care for," declared
Mrs. Newton. "It is pitiful to see a
large family of children growing up
in the streets and alleys, neglected, ig
norant, learning to be criminals, all
because of poverty and ignorance."
Mrs. Meta M. uthoff, who said women
had long been cowards In giving their
true views, gave the following as her
opinion on the subject:
"I think Mrs. Sanger Is to be admired
for her courage and idealism In cham
pioning birth control for the very peo
ple who need it most the poor of our
Industrial centers and the slums of our
great cities. As we all know, birth
control is no longer a theory but a fact
for the more prosperous classes.
"Mrs. Sanger now wishes to make It
possible for the poorest of the poor to
help themselves somewhat by limiting
the size of their families. To oppose
her in this humane work is heartless
and cruel I will say even vicious. I
hope she is triumphantly acquitted."
"I think Mrs. Sanger's case will be
dropped," said Mrs. John R. Oatman in
discussing the subject. "It is silly for
people to make such a fuss about what
she is doing."
To protest against the persecution of
Mrs. Sanger a mass meeting will De
held tonight in Central Library under
the auspices of the Birth Control
League.
CITY RAIL LINE HAS WRECK

new municipal railroad used in hauling
dirt from the lake excavations in
Laurelhurst Park. The dinky engine
which forms the basis of Mr. Baker's
railroad's rolling stock yesterday got
too heavy for its track and with all the
thrills of a regular railroad took a
plunge into a hole at East Thirty-third
street, about 25 feet In depth. No one
was hurt.
Engineer W. Simmons and others on
the train Jumped Just as the chugging
engine toppled over. It was damaged
to the extent of 50. A wrecking crew

WINTER CAR
Consult the impres

your mind and you
will find that you
think of this car as
very carefully and
very conscientiously
made
This very general and
instinctive feeling is, of
course, a reflection of
the actual facts. People
think of the car in this
light because of their
high opinion of Dodge
Brothers as manufactur
ers. And that good opin
ion is justified by the
performance of the car.
The gasoline consumption is unusually low

BRISCOE at the Auto Show
The new Briscoe Thirty-eight model is now on view at
the Portland Automobile Show, January 24th to 29th,
inclusive.
The BRISCOE is designed to meet the requirements and
the purse of the average man. Possibly we sensed his
needs and desires in a car better than the next one, and
proceeded to build the new BRISCOE to conform to
"specifications."
At any rate, the BRISCOE is a finished product that
measures up exactly to what the public wants a car
that is high in quality-value, and low in price. Hand
some, powerful and comfortable in every respect. Prices
