 men Warden.

Y., Jan. 25.-A superseding indictment charging per Jury was returned yesterday by the grand jury against Thomas Mott Os- borne, former warden of Sing Sing The indictment is virtually the same as the one returned originally, but has been amplified to cover allegations made in the testimony of Dr. Died ling, member of the prison com mission.

SILL FOLLOW YOU"
 BIG HIT AT GRAND
Dan Coleman's Burlesque Gets Warm Reception on Opening Night at
 Theater in Hartford.

"I'n follow You" Harry Hastings! big show opened a weeks engagement at the Grand theater Hartford, last evening. The show is a happy, rol- licking vehicle, created for the pur- pose of making people laugh and in this respect it's object is accomplished. There is laugh a line.
 Dan Coleman as Horatio McNally makes a big hit. Coleman is one or the funniest men on the stage today and his very appearance in his work ing clothes would get a laugh from a convention of professional pail bear CTS.
 Edward Vincent, Anna Bell, William Bovis, Arthur Henry, Phil Peters, Florence Darley, Alma Bauer, Anna Corners and Hazel Lorraine, who support Coleman, are up to the Cole man standard. MT. Peters, in the lu- dicrous role of Baron NiXpifle, is alone worth the price of admission, his work in the Dance of Mephisto'' being of unusually good quality
 Among the song hits are Look Her Over in Summer,' by Anna Mae Bell, William Bovis and Arthur Henry; ''Ragtime Ball." by Hazel Lorraine; Venetian Rose" by Florence Darley and principals; "Bom Bonn Bay,' by Anna Mae Bell and chorus; "T1 Fol- low You" by Palmer Hines, Anna Mae Bell and chorus; "Tennessee'', by Phil Peters and Anna Mae Bell; Mil itary Maids" by Florence Darley and "I'd Like to See a Little More," by Hazel Lorraine and chorus.
 The scenery carried with the show is above par, the ideas being unique and novel. The girls in the chorus are probably a little bit prettier than the usual chorus, the costumes are new and clean, the jokes ditto and the en- tire performance is one to give an amusement seeker just what he is looking for

The first thought that pops into a
mans mind when he looks over the
new Oakland Six is: There's car
that is really pracital in every way.
It is sensible to say, power, equip
ment and price, and it bears the name
of one of the most reliable concerns
in the business. That is the common
sense car for me to buy
The new Oakland Six is sensible In
size. The wheelbase of model "a is
112 inches. The bodies of both tour
ing car and roadster are not only lon
ger and wider and higher than the
Model 80, but they are roomier and
more comfortable than in other cars
of the same, or in many cases even
longer, wheelbase.

frame on which entire length Of body
rests; long, semi-eliptic springs; Mar
vel carburetor; diversified tires, gen.
uine leather trimming, pleated type
with deep, comfortable upholstry;
low center of gravity prevents side
sways- and skidding, which wear out
tires and rack the frame and driving
mechanism.
It is sensible because of it's wonder
full riding qualities. Tires are over

are 81 inches long and shaped to elm
mate rebound. Upholstering is deep

,-of November IT, We have statements

Take the city banks and all OF
them show a marked increase in the
amount of loans and deposits as com
nared with the statements as maze
under the September call.
It is not our purpose to make an!
comparison as to the several tanKs
but if you will look at the statements
Won will see that the. four SHOW a
total loan of s1,4OO,101.73 and a total
denosit account of s1,446,970.69. And
all of them have a less amount o.
money borrowed, the Commerce.
showing none at all. The total Is
only s114,76O.16. All of them sap"
good amount carried to the surplus
account and a decided increase over
the amount as it appeared in the Sept
ember statement. The National Bank
has lust doubled it's surplus and Tn
divided profit account since Sep1en-
ber. ,.,.,,
These statements show healthy
financial condition and money shoaio
be cheaper. Comparing the loans WIN
the deposits it verifes a statement
we saw once that bank made money
out of what it owed.

It is sensible IN power. The motor
is the high-speed valve-in-head type,
and develops Al horsepower at ESQ
revolutions per minute.
1t is sensible in weight. Though
big in capacity and very strongly
bui.t the new Oakland Six weighs
215o pounds or SO pounds to every
horsepower developed by the motor.
It is sensible because it is over
tired. Tire manufacturers recon-
mend 32x3 1-2 inch tires for 22OO-
pound cars. The Oakland Sensible
Six weighs 215O pounds, yet it has
32x4-inch oversize tires. This means
not only improved riding qualities,
but greatly increased tire mileage.
