Eastern Standard time, Sun day,r Sept. 20. They were checked in. at the Windsor ferry dock at 4": 20 p. m. the foltowing afternoon Dy'R.' W. Butler, a Canadian cus toms officerBefore leaving Hart ford a heavy rain had set In, which continued 'with them until they reached the suburbs of Syra' cuse N. Y., some 300'mires further west. r The Hupmobile was checked out of the Albany garage, Albany. N. Y., at 10:55 p. m.,where it stopped for gasoline. W.. A. Evans, a filling station owner, at Cazeirovia, N. Y., just east of Syr acuse. 'checked them there at 3 a. m. They crossed" the Internation al bridge at Niagara Falls at 8:30 a. m. Customs officials at Wind sor reported as they checked in the car that' the radiator was scarcely warm. No water was ad ded during the entire trip, accord ing to an affidavit sworn to by both occupants. Examination of the ; radiator upon arrival at De troit revealed that less than a pint could be added. "We started from Hartford in a blinding rain," said Campbell. 'As we headed northwest for Pittsfield, Mass.,- It developed into one of the most difficult rain storms to drive through I have ever encountered. It continued ceaselessly until ' we reached the outskirts of Syracuse. - "But despite the rain we ex ceeded, over the entire distance, our schedule of 170 miles every four hours. The first four we made in 161 through the constant rain, including a stop for gaso line. The second four we made 167, including a wait of nearly 25 minutes to awaken Mr. Evans at Cazenovia. Between Auburn and Rochester, N. Y., after the rain stopped, we clocked ourselves as actually making 52 miles in one hour. Continuously we drove the car as fast as we dared Over the wet, slippery roads that we en countered until we were nearly to Windsor. We tore over! a 13 raile detour near Leamington, Ont., we towed a car over a 20 mile detour at 45 miles an hour. The driver of that car was liter ally almost 'scared to death, but we explained before we began towing him that 1 we were ' in a hurry." ! ; TOW-CAR MEN OBJECT lVREGiTIXG CARRIERS .

' The suit. which asks for a permanent in junction; restraining the commis sion from including tow cars in applying the act, named the mem bers of the commission as de fendants. - , The complaint filed declares the act to be unconstitutronal, in that it forces the operators o tow cars to engage In business as common carriers against their wishes; that it interferes" with Interstate com merce because a large part of the business. ; consists ' of ' handling wrecks and" disabled cars ' on the highways; it both Oregon and Washington" and also because it interferes with the liberty and right" of the operators to conduct a private buslriess and enter Into private " contracts.
