1HE engine of the new Ford represents
= new development in modern automo-
bile engineering. It is unique in design
andperformance, giving unusual smooth
ness, acceleration, speed and power with
out sacrifice of reliability and economy.
Ford engineering has found the way to
include every essential fea.lre of good per-
formance without the necessity of a high
speed, complicated motor.
The design of the cylinder head is just
one factor in this performance. Others are
the direct gravity gasoline feed, the spe-
cially designed carturetor, the new hot.
spot manifold, the carefully planned large
valve diameter, the chrome silicon alloy
valves. the aluminium pistons, the stati-
cally and dynamically balanced crankshaft
and AywheeL and the simplicity of the
electrical, ignition, cooling, fabrication
and fuel systems.

Engine mounting red1ces
mbyatiOn !.
Of special importance is the manner
in which engine vibration isabsorbcd q
before it reaches the chassis Of the
car, thereby preventing unpleasant
vibration periods.
This is done in the new Ford
through the introduction Of a flexible front
end support that is both simple and practi-

engine mounting developed after many
months of testing and experimenting.
Quality of materials and careful work.
manship also have great deal to do with
the continuously good performance of the
new Ford.
In the new Ford, for instance, the diam
eter of the piston pin is held within three
ten-thousandths (.ooo3) of an inch. An
The Washington times., 1928-12-10

equally close limit is followed in the hole
into which the piston pin is fitted.
The weight of the aluminium alloy pis.
tons is set at TN ounces. No piston is
permitted to come under this weight nor
exceed it by more than grams.
In the piston assemblies, consisting Of
piston, connecting rod, pin and spring
retainer, the four assemblies in each motor
must match in weight within limit Of 3A
grams. Every piston assembly must meet
the weight of the other assemblies in the
set within approximately IL of an
ounce. Main and connecting rod bear.
ings on crankshaft are held true to
within three ten-thousandths (.OOO3l

1t is of course almost impossible to
conceive of measurements as close as

the finest precision cages in the hands

by which these cages are set are accu.

he was directly under the COM

Barclay said he participated in

of merchandise from the Fair Store,
where she was employed as sales
woman. She gave the articles to
her 12-year-old daughter, it was
learned at that time.

Hits Indiana Officials
By Times Special

BIZ Times Special
PITTSBURGH, April 1O.-Sensa-
tional charges against officials of
the State of Indiana were made to-
day by the Rev. John F. Strayer,
one of the defendants in the suit o.
the Ku-Klux Klan and the counter
suit of the defendants to GUST the
invisible empire" from the State
of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Strayer states the officials of
the State penitentiary at Michigan
City, including the warden and his
deputies are members Of the Klan
and bound to the bidding of Hiram
Evans, imperial wizard Of the
hooded order. To subStantiate his
claim he contends that he, together
with Attorney Van G. Barrickman,
were held against their wishes be-
hind barred doors for more than
two hours after the famous D. G
Stephenson deposition was taken.
Prison authorities refused to re-
lease them from behind the steel
doors, he said, until copy OF the
deposition was deposited with the
warden. Mr.. Strayer and Barrick-
man were insistent in their refuSals
and it was not until Barrickman
summoned all his oratorical powers
and threatened them with the
orders of the Federal court which
he held, that they we're released
from the prison, Mr.. Strayer as
serted.
This was one of the many side
lights and stories of threats that
have been claimed as originating
within the Klan in its fight to save

SUIT PERILS
$4,000 RACE
WITH STUTZ
Foreign Speed Car Is Held
in New York; Senators
Seek Release.
BIZ Times Spccial

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, April 1O-Sena-
tors Robinson and Watson were
working today for entry into this
country for the Hispano-Suiza rae
ing car, scheduled to race a Stutz
Blackhawk at the Indianapolis
Speedway April Is.
Holding of the race, which is for
a $4,000 side between President
Moscowicz OF the Stutz company,
and Charles T. Weymann, owner of
the Hispano-Suiza, is periled by a
last minute protest against entry of
the foreign car by Clark Pease,
Hispano's American agent, in New
York.
Pease felt that if the Hispano were
defeated it would injure his busi-
ness, and has demanded $4,000 to
permit the entry, the Senators were
informed.
The foreign car is on the docks
at New York and a ruling must be
obtained today to allow it to reach
indianapolis in time for the race.
Both Moscowicz and Weymann have
posted $4,000 forfeit for appearance
of their cars.
The Senators have made applica-
ton to Secretary Mellon and Wads-
worth Camp, collector Of customs,
under sections of the custom law
which permit entry of cars tempo
rarily upon posting of bond for
their deportation after the race.
Under the terms of Pease's con-
tract, it was explained, he ordinarily
has the right to prevent entry of
Hispano cars unless consigned to
him.

CITY JUDGES
EXCEED RIGHT,
REMY CLAIMS
Prosecutor Moves to Halt
Trying of Felony Cases
in Municipal Courts.

Municipal judges are overstepping
their jurisdiction by trying felony
cases that should be bound to the
grand jury and decided in Criminal
Court, William H. Remy, prosecutor,
charged today.
Action to curb this practice may
bring Merrill Doyle, Jr, IS. Techni-
cal high school student, who was,
in a manner, vindicated of blame
for stealing an automobile last week,
before Judge James Collins, of Grim
inal Court.
Young Doyle stole Clifford Arrick's
machine, 3419 N. Pennsylvania St.,
and was charged with vehicle TAX
ing, grand larceny and unlawful
possession Of property.
Court Jurisdiction Limited
His father, Merrill Doyle, Sr, 351O
N. Pennsylvania ST., was scored by
Judge pro Tenn. Jacob Ste.nmetz,
in Municipal Court last Friday, be-
cause he would not allow his son
use of the family machine.
The vehicle taking part Of the
charges justified grand jury action,
according to Deputy Prosecutor John
L. Niblack, who is delegated to stop
the alleged unlawful rulings.
Merrill Doyle, Jr., was fined $50
and costs, which was suspended,
Niblack found.
Authority of municipal courts in
dealing with felony cases is to act
as a magistrates court, it was
pointed out, and except where the
deputy prosecutor will agree to it,
the sole alternative is to bind the
accused over to the grand jury.
Several instances Of placing per-
sons charged with felonies on pro-
baton and never turning the mat
ter over to the grand jury, have
come to light, Remy said.
Felony Charge Ignored
Before going to police court to
straighted out the matter, Niblack
conferred with Judge Collins, who
pointed out that the grand jury
should pass on all felony cases orig
mating in municipal court.
Where a man is charged with
felony and a lesser charge, the two
should he merged and taken be-
fore the grand jury, Niblack said.
The municipal courts seem to
ignore the felony part and have tried
the defendant on lesser counts" he
said. after an examination of the
records.
Deputy prosecutors in municipal
courts have been instructed to agree
to dismiss no felony charges with
out specific orders from Remy.

speeches for Senator Thomas j.

In a letter received by John B.

Adoo praised Walsh highly as his
choice for the presidency.
"Of course, I will make some
speeches for Senator Walsh in the

"Walsh is dry and he is sober. If
he were elected President he would
demonstrate that the Eighteenth

KIDNAPPING AND

Three calls for additional
police guards were received
from the wenty-Seventh ward.
Deneen workers charged
Grove Thompson followers
were stufing ballot boxes and
threatening early voters. Near
by wards reported similar
charges.
The campaign headquarters OF
States Attorney Robert E. Grove
denied responsibility for the terror
ist methods, and charged the rival
faction, led by United States Sen
ator Charles S. Deneen, with fos-
tering them.
Many other reports OF disorder
were heard by voters on their way
to the polls, but with few excep-
tions they we're found to be uncred-
tied.
There was promise that before the
balloting ended Chicago would be
thrown into its usual election tur-
moil, but today's scene was no worse
than those in the past.
Conference Calm Prevails
Indeed, after the recent bomb and
hullet war between the rival Re
publican factions, the election was
considered comparatively quiet.
The day Of balloting dawned clear
with only slight cloudiness. Govern
ment weather forecasts predicted
rising temperatures with generally
clear weather throughout the day.
Million Votes Expected
More than a million men and
women were expected to cast votes
here. A total state vote OF nearly
l,750,000 was expected.
Candidates and their assisting
orators carried their campaigns to
the very opening of the polls. Their
speeches were the only fireworks of
the last week of campaign which
two weeks ago seemed likely to end
in serious bloodshed.
Rival morning newspapers greeted
voters with screaming headlines, one
instructing readers to vote against
the administration and the other
pointing to last-minute Swings OF
sentiment in favor Of the admins
tration faction.
There was little on which to base
an unprejudiced opinion; both
claimed certain victory by major
tiles as high of 100000.

contest, Democratic State and
