March 2~5-I1bert government troops
still held Vessel across the Rhine
north of this city at 4 o'clock this af-
%ternoon. Fighting which had been
in progress during the day was
seemingly dying away and although
Vessel Is under fire from artillery in

troops succeeded in repelling all in
fantry attacks.
Today's battle opened during the
forenoon when government troops
attacked workers forces which had
advanced to within a few hundred
yards Of the Vessel bridgehead. Nov
ing rapidly the regulars drove the
reds south across the Lippe river
and southeast out of Lippe Schloss.
Meanwhile government artillery
opened fire on the workers h~eadquar-
tiers at Lippendorf and partially de-
stroyed them. Working southwark
from Lippe Sch1oss and eastward
from P~uppendorf the regulars began
a double flank attack which swept
the reds back, they being forced TO
retreat under heavy artillery and
machine gun fire.
An armored train pushed along
toward the bridge across the Lippe
river. about three and one-half miles
from Vessel, and kept q steady fire
on the workers.

Allies Have Not Acted.

By The Associated Press.
PARIS, March 26-The allies have
not as yet given or refused permits
sion for German regular troops to
enter the allied zone of occupation
or the neutral zone to the east estab-
lished by the treaty Of Versailles, ac-
cording to semi-oflicial information.
What has been done by the allies Is
to reach al agreement as to the guar-
antees to be demanded from Ger
many in case he desires to engage In
the military operations in the zones
in question. Permission for her to
do SO VII depend on her previous ac-
ceptance of conditions.
According to the same source there
is no further question of inter-allied
Intervention in the Ruhr district and
the impression prevails that there
will be hes tation on the part of the
Germans themselves to engage in OPP
erations there under the conditions
the allies will impose.

Shortly after dawn the coroner
was awakened by the telephone al

voice told him that dead negro was
lying on the sidewalk at the corner
OF jackson and Pine streets, prom
inent residence neighborhood.
The coroner dressed hastily. and
telephoned the police to send officers
out to keep watch until he arrived,
When the police got there the crowd
opened to make way for him, and his
secretary and assistants began to
make ready for the inquest.
1t was at this juncture that the
corpse groaned aloud.
The crowd flew apart as if a
bomb had exploded. Some of the lit

PROFITEER FIRM
FINED $4,000

Syracuse, ~ Y, June 5.-Expres-
sing the hope that his action would
serve as a moral lesson to dealers
throughout thu country, Federal
Judge Harland B. Howe Of Burling.
ton Vt, this week fined the John A
Roberts Company Of Utica, convicted
Of profteering, $4,000.
In imposing the fine, Che heaviest
the law would permit, Judge Howe
said:
4 believe that convicted profteers
should be sent to Jail. That would
do more than anything else to i'm
press the merchants who are doing
business that they must eonfne them
selves to fair and reasonable profits,
Reason for Fine.
"But the defendant being corpo-
ration in this case, there can be no
prison sentence. ! believe it is plain
ly the duty of the court to impose
the maximum sentence, which is $5,-
600 on each count, or a total of $685.
600, and such is the sentence of this
court"
The indictment contained thirteen
counts. The jury refused to consider
two and returned verdict Of con-
viction on the other eleven.
Ten counts covered sales which the
government charged were actually
made and explained thus:
A dress bought for $16.75 sold for
$35; dress bought for $3.50 sold for
$3.50; woman's suit bought fol
S26.50 sold for $55; skirt bought for
SO sold for $3.50; a coat bought for
$3.50 sold for $3.50; a coat bought
for $3.50 sold for $75; coat bought

Famous Dirt Track Champions
Choose the Essex

high powered racing machines, one Of
which has record of 119 miles per hour
on Florida beach. ~
The Essex victories resulted not from
speed alone, but from its ability to with
stand the terrific pace, where less sturdy
but more powerful cars were forced into
the pits for repairs.
Like other terrific tests to which it re-
peatedly has been subjected, these races
proved that the Essex is powerful, effici-
ent and marvelOusly enduring beyond
anything previously known in the light
car class.
The two Essex used in these events
were standard chassis which were obtain.
ed by Hugdahl and Lampkin only two
weeks before the races in which they
were entered. The frames were cut down
to give 95-inch wheel-base and the
springs correspondingly shortened.
HugdahI and Lampkin are nationally
known professional drivers. AS they
stake not only their lives but their money
on the ability of their cars, their selection
is notable tribute to their confidence in
the Essex.
