the ground that the State law, fix

In answer, Walter ". Varney,

who heard the case in the town
court, behind the firehoase, last
night, that a town ordinance per-
mitted the police to make an arrest
within a mile of the town and that

Storm Forces Conclusion
 of Roosevelt Test

The forces of nature overcame the forces of man in sensational fashion at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to bring to an end the longest non- stop endurance test in the worlds automotive history-44o hours and 40 minutes.
 This remarkable record. never before approached on land or in the air, was accomplished by a Mar mon-built Roosevelt picked at ran- dom from the assembly line in the M2rmon factory by American Auto obile Association representatives and run under the official observation of that body.
 The finish of the test, after eigh- teen days, eight hours and 40 min utes of continuance running, came at the zenith of one of the worst storms experienced in years in cen- tral Indiana. A sixty mile an hour gale, accompanied by a cloud dburst, descended with little warning OH the speedway early in the evening of the nineteenth day of the test and, after demolishing Marmon pit headquarters, tearing roofs from grandstands and filling the track with debris, brought an unwelcome end to the record-making run.
 Shortly after the fury of the storm subsidcd, Marmon officials and A. A. A. representatives visited the speedway and, after surveying the scene of destruction, agreed to bring the test to it's official conclu- sion. Imm ediately the task of con- piling official records was started. The mark now held by the Roose- welt is subject, of course. to confir- nation by the A. A. A. and also by the International Association of Rec ognizeG Automobile clubs before be- ing declared official in the eyes of these two organizations

Dodge Color Charts

The well dressed automobile this summer has smart exterior color combinations that harmonize with luxuriously fitted interiors So color conscious has America become that only artistic tints of body and fender lacquers, blending perfectly with the proper shade of upholstery will sat isfy the demand for dash and brightness in the new car.
 Color charts for Dodge Brothers are typical of the wide choice avail able in colors. stripping and uphol- stery On the new six models, now being received by dealers, a range of color and upholstery shades in sures prompt delivery of practically any combination desired, according to s. t& F. Motor Sales, Corp, local Dodge Brothers dealer.
 Every effort has been made to appeal to the most discriminating motorist," said MT. Ferguson. "Thesc options in colors and upholstery, to- gether with choice of wheels and equipment afford practically a GUS tom car without the custom price, and in most cases the stock of cars on hand enables the buyer to see just how the colors he has in mind will look on the completed car.'

Elaborate Systems Used
 For Shipping Automobiles

When the greatest of all trans portation medlums-the autom obile itself requires transportation, the shipment is one of the most inter esting and elaborate systems devel- oped by the motor industry.
 More than one and one-half mil lion feet of lumber are used each month in the huge overseas ship ping building in kenosha where the Nash Motors Company has evolved one of the most efficient and pain stalking systems of protecting cars for export known in modern ship ping. Some sixty trained men send the cars along the progressive as sembly which boxes them so per- feCtly that neither rough handling at seaboard, open roadstcad unload ing, nor extraordinary conditions sometimes encountered overseas can injure them in any way.
 The precision workmanship and quality manufacturing which marks every step in Nash production is thoroughly carried out in this eX- port boxing process. At the start of the 160-foot boxing assembly line the cars for export are washed and sprayed with a non- corrosive mix ture to protect metal parts. Then. after removing the wheels, the car IS lifted by electric hoist 10 the heav- fly reinforced floor of the specially prepared export box, which rests on the rollers of boxing production line. It is solidly bolted and clamp ed to the floor. it's interior covered, and a second oil bath administered,
 This boxing process has been de- veloped exclusively by Nash and ap- proved by insurance experts. It combines the best methods in ship ping experience. When the boxing is complete, the car is ready for practically any travelling experience. While many cars are now shipped overseas unboXed. these boxed ship mentS are still in the majority be- cause relatively few ships which call at many ports are fitted to carry unboXed cargoes.

DEBT SETTLEMENT
 STILL IN QUESTION
Poincare's Chances Of Getting Ratification Remain In Doubt

Paris, July P-After two weeks of political maneuvering the ques- ton of ratification of the Mellon Eerenger debt settlement with America still appeared today very much up in the air
 Premier Poincare, despite a show of force against him in the chamber of deputies, appeared to hold the trump card, with which he may ob- tain ratification at any time he wishes.
 That trump card was his power to ratify the debt accord by decree and then go to parliament and ask their approval of his action.
 Opinion Diners on Power
 While the tendency generally was to bellttle the chances the opposl- ton has of gaining a vote in the Chamber favoring reservations to ratification within the ratification measure itself. many thought this was what the premier eventually would do, although several other schemes havu been offered the gov ernment.
 It was pointed out generally to- day that M. Polncare's position was quite advantageous. He has the cab inet unanimously behind him. and French sentiment while not wholly approving the debt settlement, de- plores anything remotely suggestive of repudlation.
 The government has let it be made clear that its opposition IS not to reservations to the ratification which 1t feels to be justified as well as its opposition-but to inClu- sion of the reservations in the rati- fication measure itself. The gov ernment quite probably would con- cur in a separate resolution saying the same thing, that is that France would be bound by the debt accord only so long as the separations pay ments from Germany were forth coming
 Debate Due July 16
 It hardly appeared today that de- bate on the ratification could take place before July 16, leaving but two weeks for ratification in time to evade payment of the S400,000. .0O0 surplus war stocks bill which will come due August 1 unless the debt accord is approved and it is includ- ed in that general settlement. The opposition meanwhile has not been idle. A general meeting of the 'Croix De Ecu (Cross of Fire) as- sociations yesterday adopted an or der by the day pledging themselves to combat ratification without the safeguard clause. The veterans la ter disavowed any ingratitude to- ward American war veterans.

S2O0,0O0 SPINDLE BARED IN JERSEY
Dead Broker MulCted Aged, Forged Papers, Is Charge

Trenton, N. J., July 8 UP) - Charges that Joseph R. Ashmore, ohe of the most prominent real es- tate brokers in New Jersey. en- bezzled S20O,000 behind a mask of opulence and business sagacity have been made here.
 Ashmore, who died last month from injuries suffered in an auto mobile accident, was said to have defrauded, among others, his sister, his pastor, and several aged persons who brought their savings to him to invest.
 Former president of the New Jer- sel Association of Real Estate boards, and an eX-vice president of the National Association of Real Es- tate Boards. he was considered one of the soundest business men in the state. Ashmores' fortune was rated at about $500,0O0.
 It was not until Rev. W. D. Thatcher, minister of the church Ashmore attended, delivered a fun eral oration praising the dead mans
 
 estate broker began to circulate here. They first took the form of reports that Ashmore had not been so wealthy as everyone had SUD- posed and then doubt arose whether the estate would prove sufficient to meet claims against it.
 Forged Mortgages
 Attorneys representing persons who had entrusted their money tc Ashmore began investigating. Sev- tral mortgages were found to be worthless, including one in which Thatchers S4,oGO was invested. And then County Clerk Hutvison made public a secret which he never had intended to reveal. It was that Ash more had forged the county clerk S signature to d mortgage. Hutvisor said he took the matter up with Ashmore and that the real estate man paid the amount of the mort gage and the county clerk agreed tc remain silent about it.
