Dodge Brothers Chassis
Proving Adaptabilitv

Dodge Brothers chassis is proving
adaptable to many business REQUIRE
ments. Though light, this chassis is
designed to be almost immune to the
need Of service because Of it's scientific
manufacture. Strength has been added
to those parts that have the greatest
amount OF usage and bear the heavies.
strain This has been done, however.
without sacrificing the qualities that
have made Dodge Brothers chassis
we'll known.
Concerns such as the Shredded
Wheat Company and Arbuckle Brothers
which have been using these chassis
equipped with special bodies say that
they are more than satisfied with the
results obtained. Almost any size body
can be mounted on the chassis, as the
wheel base can be made to vary from
ia inches to one of 144 inches.
The commercial ca department of
the Colt Stratton Company, at 100 West
Sixty-fourth Street. has many specifi
cations concerning bodies and various
sizes Of chassis, which will be fur
nished to those making application. In

ceived orders from the National Biscuit
Company for number of these
chassis, to be delivered Immediately

fer" Defending His Adj
ministratiOn

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Gencral
denial of charges made against him
was entered before the Senate Banking
Committee to-day by John Shelton
Williams, Controller of the Currency
Mr.. Williams defended the administra
ton of his Office, denied that he had
prosecuted the Riggs National Bank of
this city, and characterized Frank J
Hogan, attorney for bank officials in
the Riggs Bank case, as "rapid-fre
falsifer."
In defending the Treasury's attitude
toward the Riggs National Bank Mr..
Williams charged officials of that in
stitution Up to 1914 with "multitudi-
nous infractions of the law"
He charged that millions of dollars
had been lent by the institution to per
sons who had no security except the
stock they bought on marginal &C
count and which was highly specula-
tive. Asked if the bank suffered any
losses, the Controller said he knew Of
only one, of $4,000.
In closing Mr.. Williams renewed his
request that Representative McFadden,
OF Pennsylvania, appear before the
committee to substantiate charges made
recently before d House committee that
Mr. Williams had received share Of a
commission growing out of the disposal
