' Judge Milton Carter, of Lowviile, was elected president of the Syracuse Oil Engine Company, at a meeting of the directors held' in Syracuse last Friday. This concern has taken over all the assets of the Jones Oil Engine Corporation, and is owned by some 1,200 stockholders, who were formerly interested in the Jones corporation and who advanced $101,000 for -the purchase of the property. The organization and successful launching of the Syracuse Oil Engine Company is a rare achievement, and the man to whom credit is due is Judge Carter, whose hard work and directing genius made it possible to save for those hundreds of stockhold- ers the money they had invested. His election to the office of president is simply an endorsement by the stock- holders of his ability and Integrity. The Syracuse Oil Engine Company is a New York State corporation and it is capitalized at $250,000, consisting of 25,000 shares of a par value of $10 each, all common stpek. The new com- pany starts business clear of all In- debtedness and with a new modern ^ k °KJ LUMBERJACK COMMITS SUICIDE AT SI. RE6IS COMPANY'S CAMP Michael Holloran Puts Bullet Into His ._. Head W4th=^» Winchester 30.-30 at * Camp Near Number Four. Michael Holloran. aged 57, who has been at work j at different lumber camps in the Adirondacks, committed suicide last Thursday afternoon at the St. Reeris Paper Company's camp on the Stillwater road near Number Four, by shooting .himself in the head with a Winchester 30-30 rifle, the bul- let passing through the left eye. But little is known about Holloran or his past history. He claimed to have for- merly resided In New York city. Dr. W. O. Hubbard, corbner, and Dr. H. W. Humphrey were called to the camp and pronounced death due to suicide. The body was brought to Lowville Friday evening and placed In the re- ceiving vault at Rural cemetery. Holloran was last employed by Leon Kelly, of Croghan, at the Kelly camp at Stllhvater, finishing there three weeks ago, when Mr. Kelly paid him $59. The following day he met Kelly in Croghan and asked him to loan him $5, which Mr. Kelly refused to do. Tuesday he appeared at Schaab's hotel, Number Four, and as he had no money to pay his board and there was no. work for him to do, he went on to St. Regis camp, where the caretaker gave him permission to stay for the night, the camp being closed tempor- arily for the spring log drive. Roy Moyer, a Wrapper, who carries a rifle while examining his traps, had stopped at the camp to wait for a ride back to Number Four, and had left the rifle on a shelf. Soon afterward he heard the report of the rifle and upon Investigating, found Holloran in a dying condition.

NEW LAW WILL INCREASE LICENSE FEES ON AUTOS Watertown Counsel for Motor Club Back From Albany Tells of Bills Be- fore Legislature Affecting Auto Owners. Increased automobile license fees, ranging from about $1 for Ford own- ers to $7 or more for operators of larger cars, are In store for the hard- pressed motorists in a bill now being backed before- the state legislature. Details of this measure are explained by George H. Cobb, \of the law firm of Cobb, Cosgrove & Kimball, counsel for the Jefferson County Automobile Club, and an attorney for the state motor federation, back from a meet- ing of the state body. A new system of licensing cars is proposed in two bills now pending, former Senator Cobb stated. One of these measures concerns private pas- senger cars only. I.t discards the pres- ent method of deriving the tax by horse power and value, adopting a new system based upon the weight of the car, fully equipped. For machines weighing not in excess of 3,500 pounds, the tax is 50 cents for every 100 pounds. For care tipping the scales beyond 3.500 pounds, 75 cents per hun- dred is charged. \Cadillac touring cars, now paying a fee of $23.43, will be taxed $30.76 under th*e new schedule,\ Mr. Cobb said. \Fords now paying $7.23, will be charged but $8, and Chandler touring or sedans will be increased from $14.56 to $15. The other bill provides taxes for commercial passenger cars and trucks, with substantial Increases put- ting the taxes from $50 to $160. \There are no other bills very ob- jectionable,\ said Mr. Cobb. \Of course there are a lot of bills referlng to bridges and highways. They have one bill requiring all operators to take out licenses. Our association opposed It. It has passed the Senate, but the farm- ers are up in arms against it and I understand it will not pass the As- sembly. \There are a half dozen proposed headlight laws. One* prevents the use of any lense but a white one. The motor federation approvear-tJmt. There Is also a compulsory insurance bill, upon \which we took no action. The federation also opposed the bill pro- viding for revocation of the license of any car from which persons commit- ted theft along the highways, holding that the present laws are sufficient.\ BIJOU THEATRE, MARCH 15-16 Agnes Ay res Talks of Cave Men Like \The Sheik\—Denies That Women Like Men Who Treat Them Like Brutes. ' Do women like cave men? Agnes Ayres, who with Rudolph Valentino, is featured in the new Paramount pic- ture. \The Sheik,\ says emphatically, \No.\ \The Sheik\ will be shown at the Bijou Theatre, Wednesday and Thursday^ March 16-16. \It's a worn out idea started by someone who wanted to be unique,\ says Miss Ayres. \I don't believe a woman could ever learn to love a man who had been brutal in the beginning. To me. at least. It seems that always, no matter what happened, I would re- member the past and that I could not really care for such a man. \What right has a man to be brutal or even dictatorial to his wife or to the girl he expects to marry? Why should she endure it? It would need a tremendously strong love to overcome the- feeling of repulsion, it seems to me.\ Edith M. Hull wrote \The Sheik,\ which Monte Katterjohn adapted to the screen. Her psychology, accord- ing to the reports received by the producers of the picture, has awaken- ed . much controversy among women particularly—some taking Miss Ayrep' viewpoint, others differing in opinion, and the photoplay is being awaited with interest by the thousands who have read the novel.
