Outlook for Coming Season Very Encouraging-Manufacturers Are Preparing for a Big Business. Local automoblle circles were considerably stirred yesterday by the announcement of the reduction in the price of Ford cars, with the profit-sharing plan attached.

The plan as outlined is that every purchaser of a Ford car between August 1, 1914, and August 1, 1915, receive a check for at least $40, with the single provision that the company shall sell 800,000 cars in that period. Ever since last January, when Henry Ford announced his co-operative plan of sharing profits with his employees, speculation has been rife as to how he would meet the situation created by the placing on the market of a number of cycle and other light cars at a price lower than that of the Ford. Yesterday's announcement 1s Henry Ford's answer. Prices after August 1 will be $440 for the roadster, $490 for the tour- ing and $640 for the town car. The Ford company's announcement was not the only one create speculation.

All along the line reduction in prices seems to be in order. Starting with the Hudson, which reduced its figure on the light six from $1,750 to to $2,250, price cutting has followed on $1,550 and on the a large six from $2,450 practically every 1915 model announced. Some of the other reductions are Ag follows: Maxwell, from $750 to $695, model 25. Buick, small runabout, from $950 to $900; small touring, from $1,050 to $950; large runabout from $1,235 to large runabout, from $1,335 to six cylinder, from $1,985 to $1,650. Studebaker, building four models this year instead of two.

New model ster, seating three passengers, $985; five passenger four, reduced from $1,050 to $985; new model five passenger, touring six, seven passenger six reduced from $1,575 to $1,450. Paige-Detroit-Small car, from $976 to $895 large car, from $1,275 to $1,195. While the Overland company has not yet announced its schedule of prices for 1915 models, it is known that John N. Willys is to build a six cylinder car which will be marketed at $1,475, and a new model four at $795. The price of the present four will be the same as last year, but it will be substantially increased in size, with added equipment.

While the makers of high-priced cars, such as the Pierce-Arrow, Packard, Peerless and Stevens-Duryea, do not, as far as known, contemplate any reductions it is said that the Peerless company will place a four on the market at $2,000, and a light six at $2,300 early in October. There 1s no doubt that many other makers of automobiles will follow the lead of those who have already announced reductions, Just 88 800N 89 they are ready to place their 1915 products before the public. Reports from Western factories indicate that the present season has been a splendid selling year and that car builders are generally preparing to increase their outputs for 1915. Quantity production, according to manufactur. ers, accounts for price reduction.

EX-JUDGE CULLEN TO RUN Will Be Candidate as Delegate to Constitutional Convention. Former Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals Edgar M.

LIQUIDATION IS GOING ON. The Lafayette Trust Company and Borough Bank Involved in Agitation. As.a result of the charges and. counter-charges made concerning the Union Bank liquidation, depositors of the Borough Bank and the Lafayette Trust Company, the two other Brooklyn banks being liquidated, have begun inquiries with a view to ascertaining what is being done with the assets of those two institutions. Both the Borough Bank and the Lafayette Trust Company are being handled directly in the Liquidation Bureau of the State Banking Department, a proceeding objected to by the Union Bank depositors with respect to that institution.

The staff of the Liquidation Bureau is doing work of distributing the assets to creditors, but that is only part of work of putting twentythe seven failed banks through the same process. In the case of the Borough Bank, which closed its doors for the second time in 1910, with more than $2,150,000 in various sorts of assets on its books, there still remains to be accounted for $1,059,175, which has not yet been passed to the creditors. Close to a million dollars has been turned over to preferred creditors, while the depositors, whose money made. up the assets of the bank, have received only one 10 per cent. dividend, which aggregated only $86,759.

The cost of the liquidation to date totals $39,800. This includes the expenses incurred by the bank's officials before the assets and liabilities were placed for adjustment in the hands of the Banking Department's bureau, on February 20, 1911. This makes an average of $9,000 a year, but for the past two years the expenses have not exceeded $5,000 a year, the Borough Banks pro rata share of the expenses of the Liquidation Bureau. The Lafayette Trust Company, which closed in 1908 after giving way under the strain of being used for a private convenience, had assets listed on the books of the State Banking Department at $2,920,032. There still remains in the hands of the liquidation bureau $1,005,000, which will be distributed as rapidly as is consistent with the situntion as it develops from time to time.

Of the amount paid out of the bank's assets $840,133 has been paid to preferred creditors, depositors and other general creditors have received 55 per cent. of their money and $126,500 has been applied to the reduction of mortgages. The cost of the distribution 30 far of Lafayette Trust assets totals $56,444, the average being $9,500 a year and reduced by the Banking Department's system to $5,000, which sum the Lafayette Trust Company now pays annually as Its pro rata share for the maintenance of the liquidation bureau. The tax which the Department imposes on these failed Institutions which are being liquidated by the bureau includes all expenses, even salaries of the officials of the bureau. Deputy Superintendent Moore, who has charge of the liquidation bureau, and his assistants gave out somo figures which they said was an answer to the attacks made by depositors of the Union Bank, who objected to the assets of that institution being liquidated in cost of liquidating the Union 1s.

more $27,000 than a year $30,000 and a year," creates said a deficit one of the bureau heads. "The cost of maintaining the liquidation bureau is $22,000 for salaries and. $5,000 for rent. But with that expense we are liquidatIng twenty-seven institutions that have failed. In three years we have paid thirty-two dividends to depositors and general creditors." THE CONVENTION "HOLD-UP" Papers in Action Served on Livingston and Britt.

Papers in the action begun by William Jay Schieffelln to prevent the holding of the Constitutional Convention were yesterday served on Election Commissioner Jacob A. Livingston in Kings County and President J. G. Britt of the New York City Board of Elections in Manhattan. Mr.

Livingston was served in the Kings County Republican Headquarters in Montague street. Mr. Britt was served at the Board of Elections in the Municipal Building. The complaint was drawn against every Election Corumissioner in the State, and an attempt will be made to serve all of them personally.

J. HOW POLICE PREVENT PAYROLL HOLD-UPS Captain Barnes Evolves Novel Scheme in His District. SAFEGUARDING OF MILLIONS. Highwaymen Now Find It Difficult to Repeat Robberies of Messengers. Ever since the Masury hold- up, when the cash to meet the weekly payroll of the well-known paint manufacturers was stolen by highwaymen, the problem of protecting the pay of factory employees has been a source of worry to Captain Willet F.

Barnes, the commander of the Poplar street precinct. $7,000,000 is paid a annually in wages to the employees of the factories in a small portion of the district, the portion bounded Washington street, York street, Gold street and John street. It is said that this territory contains the largest aggregation of factories, for the size of the district, in the State of New York, and possibility in the United States. Captain Barnes finally evolved a scheme of protection which has been in practice for several weeks now, and which is being favorably considered for extension to other precincts in the city, where the manufacturing interests are grouped. A map has been made of the preincumbereach factory, in day the of district each factory is set forth in a marginal schedule, and the route of the pay clerk, coming from the bank to the factory building, is traced out in each instance.

The police protection comes from the fact that a uniformed officer will have the pay clerk in sight all the time while he is walking through the precinct. The posts of the patrolmen have been so arranged that while there is no disturbance of the general patrol work, no interference with the efficiency of the service to the public in general, the pay clerk passes from post to post, always within view of the man on post. The he man on post 1 keeps him in sight until he reaches post then the man on 2 keeps him in view until No. 3 takes care of him, and so on, from street to street, until the cash is landed, safely in the factory building. There is always a policeman at the door, to see that the money is duly delivered where it belongs.

The owners of the factories, cooperating with Captain Barnes, have given him the routes to be taken by their messengers on pay days, and most of the manufacturing concerns are enthusiastic over the successful working of the plan, and are anxious to have it extended into other police districts. "We are confident that the precautions which taken have practically done away with the possibility of hold-ups," wrote the firm of Zerega's Sons, of Front street. "It seems to work out admirably," wrote the vice president of the Masury concern. "It certainly is a pleasure to feel that our men are protected by the police from the time they leave the bank until they enter our factory," was the way the representative of the Thompa son Meter Company, of Bridge street, expressed himself. Other indorsements were as follows: Hanan Son, Front street must write to tell you how much we appreciate the plan.

Arbuckle Brothers- The arrangement you nut in effect several weeks ago for the protection of paymaster coming from New York to our Brooklyn plant is working very well. Our men report that they notice all officer on every block from the Bridge entrance, and feel perfectly safe against attempted robbery under that protection. Union Tea Company-It is entirely satisfactory. E. W.

Bliss Company--We are relieved of the anxiety that formerly existed for, as you know, we must of necessity carry very large sums, and at times we have brought from our banks as much as $35,000 to $40,000. Robert Gair Company--It is with considerable pleasure that We here record our satisfaction at your successful effort to co-operate with us. Edison Company--I wish to thank you for the protection you are affording our paymaster on his trips through the precinct and during the time he is paying off at our Gold street plant. Boorum Pease Company--In these days of automobile hold-ups a little extra precaution is necessary, and in the assistance you are giving we feel a perfect assurance of safety. National Licorice Company--We think your action in giving the merchants in this vicinity safe conduct through defined lines of travel is an excellent one and probably the only satisfactory solution of the question as to how to put a stop to the robbery of messengers in this, or any other neighborhood.

Kirkman Son-Our cashier, who carries the payroll from the bank to office, has followed the route suggested by you. He reports that after entering this precinct he has passed from five to seven officers, in fact there was hardly a time when an officer was not within hailing distance. FOR JEWISH FEDERATION. Manhattanites Asked to Aid Work In Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Federation of Jewish Charities is sending out urgent appeal to Jewish people in Manhattan to assist in the work of supporting the JewIsh charitable institutions in Brooklyn.

"If you will but consider the fact that our burdens are in most part caused by our proximity to Manhattan, thereby relieving your institutions of a large part of their responsibilities. and also that Brooklyn has very few wealthy Jews to help cope with the situation, you will grant that Brooklyn has every right to appeal to Manhattan for some support." writes Simon F. Rothschild, chairman of the finance committee of the Federation in his letters of appeal, which are heartily indorsed by the Council of Jewish Communal Institutions. The appeal is made necessary because of the fact that the subscriptions of the Federation at the beginning of the year totaled but 000, an amount far below that neded for the support of the Jewish institutions, and even that has ben diminIshed by the failure of about 2,000 subscribers to pay the amount they subscribed, because of financial stringency. Thousands of Jewish cases of destitution are being relieved by the Christian charitable societies of the borough, Mr.

Rothschild points out. GEORGE HYDE CLARKE DIES. Cooperstown, N. August George Hyde Clarke, the director of the experiment station nt Geneva, died today at his home at Hyde 1'all at the age of years. Mr.

Great Memorial Service In Fall Planned--Quiet Funeral Next Tuesday. Although scattered all about the country at their various summer homes, practically all of the trustees of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sclences were notified yesterday afternoon, from the Institute's office in the Academy of Music, of the death, at Walpole, N. of Professor Franklin W. Hooper, and arrangements were immediately set under way for a meeting of the trustees tomorrow to take action on the death of the director of the Institute and to prepare whatever steps might be necessary to meet the emergency caused by his sudden death. Because of the distance from the city of most of the trustees and the difficulty of assembling them, It was said last night by A.

Augustus Healy, president of the Institute, that the meeting would probably not take place until tomorrow afternoon and that several of the trustees would probably be represented only by mail or telegraph. Those who are able to come together, however, will arrange for the representation of the Institute at the funeral of Professor Hooper, in Walpole, on Tuesday afternoon, and it is expected that several of the trustees will attend in person.
