NOTHING TO
JOHN R0TT'S
RESOLUTION
THAT WOULD WARRANT OR
JUSTIFY INVESTIGATION
OF BOARD OF CONTROL.
BUT PROBE WILL BE MADE
Board of Control Demands That
Its Affairs Be Investigated
Now.

Although there was nothing in the
Rott resolution which would warrant
the state affairs committee of the
house in recommending that the
board of control be investigated, in
view of the fact that the board Itself
has demanded an investigation and
also in view OF the fact that the
Knauf-Seiler-Buck charges have been
spread broadcast through the state,
the state affairs committee in it's re-
port yesterday recommended the
adoption of the resolution asking for
an investigation OF the board of con-
troll AID the report was adopted.
That there is absolutely nothing to
the Rott resolution itself is shown in
the statement filed with the chief
clerk of the house yesterday ana
signed Dy six of the prominent men,
bers of the house state affairs COM
mittee.
Statement Filed.
This statement is given in full, as
follows:
"As members of the state affairs
committee, We wish to make the fol-
lowing remarks relative to the ROtt
resolution, calling for an investiga-
tion of the board of control.
';After holding hearings at which
Mr.. Rott, +. o. Hellstrom, +. S. Tai
colt, warden of the state penitel-
tiary, and members of the board OF
control r. S. Lewis, F. o. Brewster
and }. W. Jackson, were present, and
questioned on each and every charge
in the Rott resolution, we believe
there is nothing in the Rott resolu-
ton that WCulu warrant or Justify
any further investigation. AS to the
charges made by Mr. Knauf, Mr.. Sell
er and Mr.. Buck of jamestown we do
not know.
But inasmuch as these Charges
are signed By MIR. knauf, Mr.. Seller
and Mr.. Buck and inasmuch as the
BOARD Of control by written request
to this committee, has asked that
full investigation be held by joint
committee, we believe, in fairness to
the state at large, and in justice to
the members of the board of control,
that their request for such investiga-
tion should be granted.

five attacks on the first division of

Lebassee canal
German, Attacks Fail.
Both the British and French Off
cial reports assert all these attacks
failed in their object and the Ger

The Germans, on the contrary,
while admitting their attack on the
British north of the canal was u1suc-
cessful, say that on the south Size

in complete success and the British
attempt to recapture these trenches
was repulsed with heavy losses. y

"The Russians are making another
effort to advance in east Prussia,

Auto Engine Starts
by Wireless Spark

For the first time in the history of the
automobile It has been demonstrated that
car can be started from distance by
means of the wireless telegraph
This was proved at the Indiana State
fair. where the motor OF a model SO Over
land was started every five minutes by
wireless spark from the Overland head
quarters In indianapolis. five miles away.
A complete wireless outfit consisting
Of motor generator. transformers, relays
and other paraphernalia was installed in
tho show windows of the city sales
rooms. This was connected with an
aerial on the roof of the building and by
stepping the alternating current up from
10 volts TO 1900 volts the apparatus made
It possible to send messages 800 miles.
The Overland car on exhibition at the
fair grounds was fitted up with a receiv-
ing apparatus and the necessary auto
matte switches and relays for throwing
on and off the electric current of the
starter and magnetic. An automatic
switch was regulated so as to allow the
car TO run for forty-five seconds, after
which the magnetic was cut Oft The

GREAT SELLING COMBINATION
Overland Puts Out New Model that
Enables Company to Blanket
Moderate Priced Market
BIG CAR AT REASONABLE PRICE

The six-cylinder Overland just an
nounced. gives the wGlys-Overland com
pany what Is probably the greatest sell
ing combination OF cars ever produced
In one single season by a single manu-
facturer.
In June the Overland announced
four-cyllnder touring car to sell for $3.50,
The influx Of orders covering this model
alone has been the greatest in the his
tory Of the Toledo concern.
-Four weeks ago the willys-Knight car
was announced for si.O95. This Is the
lowest priced sleeve-valve-motored car
ever put on the market by any manu-
facturer in this country or abroad
with the announcement Of the six at
81 ,145, the Overland has completed a trio
o. models which 10 all intents and pur-
poses practically blankets the moderate
price market. The latest addition to the
Overland family Ia known as Model IS.
In confederation of the price, probably
the most conspicuous advantage Of this
new car u it's size.
The remarkably low price for so big q
seven passenger touring car is the direct
result of the quantity production methods
now in vogue at the Overland factory.
The extensive manufacturing facilities
of the Toledo concern enable them &c
put the maximum of quality and comfort
in their product at a minimum price
This applies particular to- the six, as
this model Is produced in the single body
design only, which allows the company
an extraordinary opportunity for com
! plete Standardization.
The exterior of the car denotes charac
ter and stability in every line. The long
sweeping curves OF the streamllne body
give II grace and poise that is usually
found in cars selling at a much higher
price. From the radiator to the full
belled tonneau back there is not breal
In the design to mar the natural contour
OF the body.
