WHEELER TRIAL
FOR AUTO DEALS
Is POSTPONED
billiard Held To Grand Jury
For Selling Mortgaged
Cars To NameSake

The preliminary hearing before
Judge Joseph Mccarthy of Clifford
W. Wheeler, formerly city editor of
the Chicago Bee, who was arrested
June 2, for selling mortgaged cars
has been continued to June rs. AL
though the hearing had been con-
tinued from June to June 18,
new continuance was obtained Mon
day without the hearing of any evil
dence.
A d. billiard, druggist at 3619 State
street, charged with being an accom-
plice OF Wheeler and with selling a
mortgaged Buick coupe to DR.. M.
M. billiard of Daley sanitarium, was
held to the grand jury by Judge Nc
earthly in bonds of $4,000 when ar
raigned in room HOG city hall Friday
morning.
Hold Hot Hearing
The Friday morning hearing became
heated at times. Attorney Wendell
Green, defense counsel, insisting that
evidence be submitted only according
to the long established rules. At
one point Judge Mccarthy, himself
a purchaser of an auto from Wheeler
| that was later taken from him, became
somewhat excited, standing up be-
hind the judicial bench and roaring
his orders to the defense attorney.
1t was brought out at the hearing
that DR.. billiard, who was told by the
druggist that Wheeler delivered Avern-
ment confiscated cars to the munici
pal Pier or auction and ! would
bring Vim one before -.s 4---=.,vzTse
to the pier, gave $3.50 and an Old ca
for the car which he obtained -
this amount, $500 was paid in advance
S45C the day beore he received his
car, and his old auto given when the
car was turned over to him. The
negotiations extended from Feb q To
/ Feb. "a when he obtained automobile.
! DR.. billiard testified that he was not
satisfied with the first two automobiles
that Wheeler brought to him. He
accepted the third car however, but
he had to remind billiard to send out
bill OF sale. He received the bill of
sale about two weeks after the auto
and 1t bore no evidence of being a bill
of sale for a mortgaged car. The bill
OF sale was made out by Wheeler.
When near May 80, his car Was taken
from him by Owen c. McGivenev,
mortgage forecloser with Offices in
the loop, he was surprised.
Dr. billiard later swore out a war;
rant for billiards. arrest, but the
druggist gave himself up to police.
Attorney Green submitted evidence
tending to show that DR.. billiard be-
lieved he was in reality getting "hot
car" and believed from the start that
the deal was somewhat crooked.
1t was also learned that the car in
question was purchased from j. j.
Kasle secondhand from a south side
garage and that a balance of $3.50 is
owed to that garage.
From the tangled maze of evidence
it appears that the druggist was
as much taken in as those who have
lost their money and cars. The
friends of the druggist in most cases
preferred and insisted on dealing
with billiard because of his long repu-
tation as a conservative business
man of unquestioned integrity.
Though the rumor still persists
that there are some Caucasians in
volved it was not brought out at
this hearing.

POLICE CLEAN Up
POLICY BUSINESS

Police Of the Fifth district are do
ing their share in Graduating the craze
OF policy playing which has been
sweeping the south side of late In
the past few weeks hundreds Of de-
PENDANTS. charged with writing policy
operating wheels. or having policy par
aphernalia IN their possession, have
been brought before Judge F. L. Fair
bank at the 48Ch street court and pros
ecuted vigorously. One raid alone re-
suited in 46 prisoners being brought to
trial last Saturday
All those arrested are not convicted
but Judge Fairbank goes into the mer-
its Of each carefully, and wherever the
evidence shows the defendant TO be
unquestionably connected with the pol
icy craze which has been long de-
graded an economic bane among the
men and women of the south side, that
is given adequate punishment. Where
formerly il was easy to gain an acquit-
tai on the ground of illegal seizure OF
some other technically, the thorough
ness with which Judge Fairbank goes
into every case has made 1t necessary
of late for defense attorneys to make
themselves fully cognizant OF the law
regarding the writing and playing oil
policy. 1t has been said that never
before has this law been studied so
constantly and thoroughly as is the
case now with the practitioners at the
43th street court.
With such vigilance on the part OF
the police an dthe prosecution, 1t is
hoped to- drive the policy evil out OF
The fifth district in the near future,
&C: ording to officials.

southbound train, Sam Hendricks, 81,
446 E. 10th street had his left hand
severed completely at the wrist and
sustained minor bruises about the face
and the right leg.
1t was due to the action Of the mo-
torman who jammed on the brakes
quickly when he saw the PROSTATE
body of the Hendricks on the track
that the injuries of the manned man
were not more serious.
Hendricks was rushed to Provident
hospital.

HUDS0N.ESSEX NEW 1923 MODELS
Vogue of Tomorrow 1ypifsd in Honeymu Auto Sales Display

Advanced style is the outstanding change in the new Hudson Essex line of cars introduced yesterday by the Hudson Essex dealers. Motor ists here are viewing the new cars simultaneously with the throngs who attended the national automobile show in New York city. where the Hudson- Essex line made It's bow to the public.
 But though these new cars, as seen yesterday, are strikingly inn proved in style and beauty. Hud- son. Essex has kept traditionally keen eye on Fundamentals of value. in fact the price on a highly im- portant model-the Essex 4-door sedan-is reduced $4o. Hudson Essex presents this as the only six cylinder, four-door sedan with a list price below the $500 level. On other cars. some prices remain with no change; others are advanced.

frames have two tubular cross members. Essex, as we'll as Hud- son. now has the Eiectro-lock anti theft device. Both cars continue their high-compression. high effi- ciency motors. These arc said to operate smoothly on any type of gasoline, and through intensive de- velopment to secure even smoother and more powerful performance.
 The new line offers g. variety of models-1o closed cars immediately, while additional open and sport type cars will be ready for the spring and summer season. All cars are low-hung. modern in style. and de- signed with unity of line to as sure them a distinctive character of their own.
 Beginning at the very front, both Hudson and Essex cars have higher and more slender radiators. This effect is heightened by the shutters, which are cleanly patterned and vertical in design. On all cars the shutters are finished in lacquer to match the lower body color.
 Surmounting the radiators, on both Hudson and Essex cars. are the new. sculptured radiator ornaments of classic design. representing fleet ness. Motometers have been re- moved to the dash. Both cars are fitted with head lamps of Colonial design. and with saddle lamps of like design. mounted on the cowl. In the Hudson cars all these lamps are nickel: In the Essex the rims are nickeled while the main lamp bodies are in brilliant black.

In the past year, an- other notable achievement was ac- complished with the introduction of la new type spring of special Nash design. constructed of . secret pro- cess alloy steel. These new Nash springs are said to offer unrivaled riding comfort. Nine different types |are employed SO it is literally true that the springs are individually tailored to each model.
 New beauty of contour, new color harmony and new luxury in interior fittings and trim are contributions to extra value which haev been incor- porated in Nash cars during the past year. Performance has been i'm. proved even over the high standards set by previous Nash models.
 A wealth of latitude in choosing a model for his particular need awaits the motor car buyer who examines this group of cars.
 Nash Advanced and Special Six models have the 'straight-line" driye-in other words the Nash de- sign is such that under normal load the crankshaft and the propeller shaft are on practically a straight line from the front of the motor to the rear axle. By this design Nash eliminates to the greatest possible degree the chance of stress and strain on the universal joints.
