PLANS OF BANDIT
 FOILED BY POLICE
Raid on ROomins House Nets
 Large Equipment

Chicago, April 22.--Intormation that Henry J. Ferneke, diminutivc bandit captured in q library Satur- day, was planning a sensational day light robbery of one of Chicago's largest downtown banks, was ob- tained when the police searched the home of Mrs. Anna Bauchamp, 4s, yesterday.
 Mrs. Bauchamp operated a room ing house in which. police said, Ferneke laid his plans and cached smoke bombs, gas tanks and weapons, which were 10 be used in the robbery.
 Police found the equipment in the cellar of the house, after a detective, disguised as a laborcr, rented a room in the house and lived there for several weeks.
 William Schoemakcr, chief of de- tectives summarized the alleged plan to rob the bank, the name of HlCl hdS NIAllll'lN'
 "They were to come to the bank in two automobiles" he said, "Thcre were 10 be about ten men in Inc plot. Each had his duties and had been drilled in them by Ferneke.
 "In the cars they were to bring rifles. sawed off shot guns. and re- volvcrs enough 10 equip a regiment of infantry, Also they were to bring three big tanks of ammonia, gas masks for themselves and 10 smoke bombs 10 cut off pursuing police men.
 "We have all this material.
 "Thcy were to enter the bank an( close all the doors. The men carry ing the ammonia tanks were to un loose the caps and set the poisol fumes into the air.
 Tho bandits, safe behind thei gas masks, would then loot cage and vaults of every cent of coin ant currency and bonds,

JESTER AGENT FOR
 RICKENBACKER CAR
Arch Street Dealer Explains
 Why They Lead Field

NJ. Irving Jester, 1S7 Arch street, Is pleased 10 announce that out of a number of applicants he has been chosen to represent the famous Rickenbacker "Six"-and Vertical $ Superhne" in this city. These cars carry the well known insignia, "The Hat in Tho Ring"
 This IS a gratifying victory for the local organizations l. For d long time the firm has had Its eye on the Rickenbackcr franchiset It wanted 10 represent thir product. The first knew it's value. That's because Jester knew the car. After a more searching investigation than a pros poctiye owner could afford to make the Rickenbackcr "siX" and "Verti- cal s Supcrlne" have been selected. Mr. Jester explained he wanted to represent the Rickenbacker:
 Because they are the only cars, the motors of which have no period of vibration, which is directly due 10 the Rickenbacker tandem nywhcel.
 "Recause in the air cleaner, q particular RiCkenbackcr invention which eliminates carbon from the motor, Was found another great ad- vancement not embodied in any other car.
 Because the double deck frams, built with the strength of Brooklyn bridge, gives easier riding qualities tha nare found in any other cars of their class.
 And in addition innumerabIe other features which would take up more space than could be possible be used to tell the story.
 "But, last and not least-four wheel brakes.
 Four wheel brakes are, without question, one of the greatest i'm provements made in motor cars since the advent of the self starter. And everyone kno*s that was quite some improvement.
 with all their marvellous me- chanical improvements the designers Of the Rickenbacker did not over look appearance and comfort.
 They are charming in appear ance light in weight, perfect in balance, comfortable 10 ride in and tremendously economical in per- formance."

INDEPENDENT SHOW
 BY BENNETT CO.
Maxwell and ChTySler Exhibit
 in New Home
Maxwell and ChrysIcr arc not to

Maxwell and Chryslcr arc not to be exhibited at the local auto show, according to the Bennett Motor Sales company but independently at the show rooms, @iO Arch street. Every model of both cars is to be displayed. In announcing this cN- elusive showing of Maxwell and Chrysler Mir. Bennett contends that these cars can be viewed more leisurely and that his entire sales force can personally conduct visi- tors through the saIesrooms and demonstrate the cars 10 good ad- vantage.
 The term Maxwell Chrysler" means that cars Of two price levels. separated by a $1,0oO price diff ferential. are designed by the high priced engineers whose services are secured because one of the cars is more expensive than the other. Maxwell, then benefits from Chrys- Ter developments and rehnements. The buyer will allow his pocket book to choose between the two.
 Chrysler's first year made the amazing record Of 32,no0 cars sold, representing $6o,0O0,000 in retail value. This easily proves that the Chrysler contention of quality, first, last and always, is borne out in fact.
 Chrysler facts" are interesting.
 Speed, because a motor capable of turning the speedometer to its last mark assures a comfortable forty and fifty. Chrysler makes sev- euty without tremor of vibration.
 Power. assured by yibrationless flow of 6S horsepower.
 Comfort without bulklness. Short enough to be parked with ease. Road stability produced by new kind of spring suspension.
 Those three sentences give us clue to the Chrysler appeal, Now how has ChrysIor quality been turned into Maxwell channels? The answer gives us the rounded slgntf- canoe of the term -Chrys- Ter"
 Twelve months ago, so soon as the new motor product had passed through it's experimental stage and was ready for production, Chryslor engineers were put to work on the Maxwell, to apply many rehnements then appearing exclusively on the higher priced car. Net result: The New Good Maxwell' now features CD twenty-five miles 10 the gallon (2) a fifty-eight miles per hour speed and (5) pickup" of from five to twenty-five miles per hour, in eight seconds. Hence the Max well was made 8 new ana better type of four-cylinder motor ear.
 Without increasing the bore or stroke, but rather by application of Chrysler refinement. the Maxwell 1925 motor is 95 per cent more pow

 A special combustion chamber now gives more power tron the grade of gasoline now being sold -- q water jacket around the valve stems and seats eliminates burned and warped valves. Maxwell now shows many retinements not found in any other $1,00O car such as leather baton between fender and body elimination of body and chas- sIs squeaks by means of all steel bushings in frame and springs. Bal loon tires are standard equipment as Is the transmission lock. Bodies arc finished in Duco with wider lenders and natural wood wheels. Stop-light. heater and shroudcr visor integral with roof are stan. dard on all closed models, Touring car and club coupe are upholstered in genuine Spanish grain leather the club sedan in beautifully pat termed cloth, sedan in mohair plush.
 Chrysler equipment includes:
 Chrysler Lockhced Hydraulic brakes on all four wheels.
 Snubbers, transmission lock. windshield wipss automatic on all closed modsas.
 Motor driven morn.
 Special sixAly high speed bal loon tires.
 Flush type cowl ventilator on open models.
 Nickel radiator shell, and con- bination tGI and signal lamp.
 Improved sliding one-piece wind- shield, ventilating type on closed models.

 These retinements on Maxwell and Chrysler back up the Nielsen boys assertion that during the com ing year they will do a business well over the million mark note so little for distributing firm which started business four years ago with an empty garage and no cars to sell" First came the Good Maxwell' 10 accelerate their pro- gram. Then the New Chrysler." Now the New Good Maxwell" with motor 25 per cent more powerful and the Chrysler quality through out" should increase that accelera- ton.

Pictorial Trait

One of the landmarks of London is st. Pauls
Cathedral. Every schoolboy in the English
speaking world has seen a picture of it, says the
Wyoming Tribune. The only other tions
that vie with it are those of London-bridge the
Tower of London, and Westminster Abbey. In
recent years we have been treated to views of
the Thames embankment and the Parliament
buildings, but Westminster, St. Pauls and the
old bridge are festooned with romance, while the
grim Tower is also splattered with blood. =
When we get a pictorial glimpse of a huge dome
dominating groups of man-sized buildings we
know at once that the legend beneath reads, "St
Pauls, London" Sir Christopher Wren's arch
~itectura masterpiece is almost as familiar to
those who have never seen London as to those
who have.
The city surveyor of London has, it is said,
ordered the dome to be demolished and rebuilt,
as in his opinion, it is a dangerous structure.
Cathedral officials say that, if the mandate is
enforced, the reconstruction of the dome will cost
$2,375,OO0 and the church will be closed for thirty
years. The pillows are hollow. Engineers
maintain that they were sufficiently strong when
the cathedral was designed and built. Subse-
quent excavations for neighboring buildings and
new sewers, with the increased traffic on the adj
jacent streets, have altered conditions bearing on
the foundations and the whole cathedral build
ings. The hollow pillars must be replaced with
solid ones.
Some engineer perfect in mathematics may in
vent a scheme to build new, solid pillars without
tearing down the dome. The impossible has
been achieved many times ere this.
All cities are alike, yet each. is distinctive.
Fifth avenue and Broadway differ from Michi-
gan boulevard and State street, but New York
and Chicago are alike as great cities. Cities are
alike, but unlike.
Some of the landmarks, like st. Paul's, com
munities like to preserve. They remain after the
settings about them are completely changed. 1t
it not that they defy time, but that they attest
to transition. Time is lenient with no one or
nothing. The new built all about the old is a
reminder that humanity is ever active and old
gives way to new as generations come and go.
Landmarks pass away, and new ones rise.

Secretary Hughes has gone \ step
further to explain away this Incl

in itself. constitutes notice to the
world that the United States Gov
eminent assumes no obligation to
collect debts due from Germany.
although participating IN the re
ceipts from Germany.
Senator johnson. Of California In
introducing a resolution asking for
information, pointed to the reserva-
ton made by the senate to the
treaty of Berlin, which attempts to
forbid the appointment of any rep
re~sentative to any commission or
body under the treaty without ex-
press consent of congress. Attic

CT cxpediency. the International
lawyers chuckled to themselves be-
cause can mako no law
or treaty with II foreign govern
rent which changes the relation
ship between the executive and
legislative branches of the United
States government. The appoint
ment of ambassadors and commits
s.oners to deal with foreign govern
ments on n subject whatever is
vested in the executive branch OF
ihe government, under the consti-
tuition The agreements that may
be made. however. are not binding
until ratified by congress-. II they
are o: such a nature rs to require
congressional approval. The mere
negotiation, however or mem
bership In an international confer
ence is o a violation of any treaty
and probably never would be SO con
strued by the courts because the con
stitution EXPLICITLY gives unlimited
right to negotiate to tho executive
branch OF the government.
Apropos Of the attitude OF the
United States in declining to have
anyone suppose for a moment that
America will help eve by the use
OF force to collect debts. the con-
vcntion ratified by the United
States on November 81. 1909. and

in part. as follows.

not to have recourse to armed force
for the recovery of contract debts

ton. legally or morally. and the
United States will DO as free as 1t
ever was to take any course Of nc
ton it may think advisable"
The foregoing is designed largely
to quiet the fears of those who think
America was intrigued INTO hidden
obligations by tho Paris agreement,
but It is exactly In limo with what
has always been done in the settling
OF claims by the executive branch
of the government. which Is under
the constitution, fully authorized to
negotiate with foreign powers on be-
half of tho United States.
This is not tho first time agree
ments of this character have been
made without submission to con
gress. The armistice agreements. es'
