Paul railroad was held up at Round out, Illinois, by eight bandits and registered mall pouches containing cash and securities to the value Of about sS.0U0,O00 were taken. Max Greenberg, said 10 be the leader of . st. Louis gang known as "Egan's Rats" was first credited with having planned the holdup. He had the assistance of BlaCkie Wilcox. Carlo and Ernest Pontano, Willie, Willis and Joe Newton and Samuel Grant, the latter an escaped convict from Texas, where he was serving a life sentence for murder. Later, through confessions of some of the bandite who were captured, J. Fahy, a post office inspector and James Murray, a prominent Chicago poli- tcian, were implicated in the rob bery for having given information and both were convicted. The ban dits stole two automobiles in Chi cago on the day of the holdup and all except Willis Newton and Grant rode to the scene in the stolen cars. Newton and Grant boarded the train and rode the blind end next to the locomotive until the train almost reached Roundout, when they crawled over the tender and entered the locomotive cab with drawn guns. They forced the en- gineman to stop the train at the spot appointed for meeting their pals, and when the mail clerks re- fused to open the doors the cars were bombed with bottles of for maldchyde until the suffocating clerks were forced out. The regis- tered mail sacks were thrown into the automobiles and the bandits made their escape. They were af- lterwards captured and convicted.

OPINION DIVIDED
ABOUT EXPANSION
OF BALL LEAGUE

Discussion of the advisabilitv of
expanding the territory of the I'm
perial Valley Winter league, so as
to include teams from other cities
occupied the attention of the
meeting called last night at Edgar
Brothers store to consider the local
baseball situation.
All the teams included in last
years league We're represented at
the meeting with the exception of
the Shell Oil company. Representa-
tfvcs of the Imperial City team and
the Southern Pacific team, advocat-
ed expanding the league so as to
give CaleXico, Holtvillc and Braw-
ley an opportunity to enter teams.
This suggestion was opposed by
those representing the Imperial II
risation district, southern Sierras
Power company and Standard Oil
company.
The objection to including teams
from other cities was based on the
belief that it would not be possible
to finish the season, that many
PLAYERS who were in the league last
wear would be unable to play ball
with only one or possibly two teams
from this city, and that the prob
ability that the league would be
forced to use paid talent was al
most certain. The objecting teams
wished to keep the purely amateur
status that existed last year.
The suggestion was made that if
the Shell company does not wish
to enter Il team this year. the league
could be restricted to five teams, in
eluding two i'll Imperial and three in
FL Centre. This would permit
arranging Il schedule so, that one
team would lay off each Sunday,
and thus permit one game in I'M
perial and one in FL Centre. instead
of having two games in this city
each Sunday. the plan that was
carried out last year.
AS the meeting was unable to ar
rive at any definite conclusion, it
was decided to hold another meet
ing next Wednesday,, limited to the
managers of the various teams. and
these officials will decide upon the
plan that is to be followed.
One thing certain about the meet
ing was the determination of those
present 10 have 4 baseball league
Of some sort this year, and to make
il It's high class MS possible consist,
ent with local conditions.

PTHERE are Gas you probably know only
l. two manufacturers who actually build their
cars conplete-rrake all their own bodies, en-
gines, clutches, springs, gear sets, differentials
steering gears, axles, gray ror castings and drop
foreings.
One of these is Ford-in the low priced field.
The other is Studebaker in the nne car field
This one profit principle of manufacture makes
possible four great advantages.
/. 1t eliminates the extra profits and overhead
that many other manufacturers have to pay and
include in the purchase price to you. This keeps
Studebaker prices low.
2. 1t enables US to build better car because
the vital parts designed, engineered and
manufactured complete by one organization.
Being built unit-Studebaker cars function
unit with all of the advantages of unit over
assembled construction.
3. 1t makes possible finer quality because
Studebaker, being an independent manufacturer,
with no subsidiary or allied companies to favor,
is free to buy on the open market, demanding
the finest materials at the lowest possible price.
Studebaker purchasing agents are unrestricted
in their search for quality and value. Studebakcr
designers and engineers are unhampercd by out

pay premium for the finest steel We use hard
wood in body construction. Plat 6,aes in the
windows. The finest grades OF upholstery. Gen
une full-size balloon tires. Unusually fine in
terror trim with no exposed tacks, and heavy
hardware. Throughout the entire car--in hun
dreds Of hidden places-you find the same high
quality OF materials and workmanship that you
see out in the open.
The Standard Six Coach shown below is
splendid example Of One Profit value.
1t offers greater power than any other car OF
its size and weight, based upon the rating OF the
National Automobile Chamber OF Commerce.
And luxurious riding comfort made possible by
the big balloon tires, resilient springs, COM
Portable cushions and ample roominess.
But the only way to judge this car is see it
drive it Feel the luxurious upholstery Sit in
the deep, soft, comfortable seats. Experience
the surge of it's tremendous power And then
compare it with other coaches.
