Chrysler comes to the 1880 auto
mobile show with four distinct
lines of cars represented by 80
models, the largest and finest
range of Chrysler cars ever Of
fered by the company. The
ChrySler Imperial, the "77," the
30" and the "66" are to be
shown in a wide choice Of colorS
and body styles, embracing a
price range Of 1895 to $3,955 at
the factory.
The multirange. four-speed
transmission and gear shift, a
startling innovation, which full
fills every requirement of power
application, is an outstanding fea-
ture of the Imperial, TT" and
10" lines. Having four forward
speed rangeS-heaVy duty, start
ing, acceleration, and driving
range-this transmission. with its
silent internal gears, is unlike
any other in use today, and was
designed by Chrysler engineers to
attain the maximum power and
fleXibility at any developed en-
CINE speed. NoiseleSS shifting be-
tween the two higher gears may
be made by a flick of the control
lever while the car is travelling at
any speed.
Power and Beauty
The draft carburetor, an
other revolutionary ChrySler fea-
ture. is found on the 'T" and
10" models.
The "Silver-Dome" engine, pro-
viding a compression ratio of 5 to

ON LEONG GROUP
TO CONVENE HERE
Chinese Tong May Continue
Sessions in City for More
Than Month.

American and Chinese flags flying in
the Chinese section, particularly on
business houses of members of the On
Leong Chinese Merchandise Association,
are heralding the convention which
opens here April S.
It is expected that more than 300
delegates from practically every State
in the Union will be in attendance, and
it is probable that the work of the con-
vention will keep the delegates here a
month or more. Meetings are to be
held at 344 Pennsylvania avenue, and
numerous banquets and sightseeing trips
are being arranged for the visitors.
Officers of the local association, COM
posing the reception committee, are
Sing Shue president; Moy Snuck, vice
president: George Wen, secretary, and
Charlie 500, treasurer. Presidents of
the national organization are Soo-Ho
Nee Hong of New York and zee King
Lai of Pittsburgh.
The principal work outlined for the
convention involves the settling of diff
ferences among the On Leongs, and the
troubled members, it is stated, always
willingly acquiesce in the findings of the
convention.
1t is stated by officials of the organiza-
ton that all differences are settled be-
fore adjournment, the number of settle
ments usually determining the time the
convention will remain in session.

NEGLECT OF POOR
SCORED BY JUDGE
Infirmary Conditions Have
Been Bad Is Years,
Says Collins.
BY EDWARD C. FULKE

Charge that no effort has been
made by Marion county officials for
sixteen years to care properly for
inmates at the poor farm was made
today by Criminal Judge James A.
Collins.
In a statement made as result of
exposures by The Times on the
plight of male inmates, Judge Col
Inns urged total evacuation of the
present infirmary site, recommend
ing rehabilitation of Marion county's
hospital for the insane at Julietta
asa home for aged dependents.
Collins said he is opposed to issu-
ing bonds for constructing new
buildings on the present infirmary
site.
Urges Insane's Transfer
The INDECENT insane now quar-
tered at Julietta should be trans
ferred to the Central Hospital for
the Insane, a state institution, to
make way for rehabilitation of
Julietta as an infirmary, he said.
Bolstering facts uncovered Mon
day that twenty eight grand jurieS
over period of fourteen years have
failed to move county commission
ers to action on poor farm improve
ments, Collins said almost every
grand jury during sixteen years, in
its report, "has severely criticised
the management of the county in
firmary."
Collins harked back to 1928 when
the poor farm muddle ran amuck
with the law, resulting in the in
dictment of two indianapolis con-
tractors.
Recalls Former Effort
II recall when Mrs. Joseph B.
Healing, member of the board of
county charities, used all her in
f1uence to obtain improvements OF
conditions there. Following her
campaign, county commissioners
contracted with Weaver & Sons,
contractors, who made certain i'm
provements, but of such poor work
manship that grand jury investi-
cation and indictments followed -
Collins said.
Two officials of the Weaver COM
pany, charged with presenting a
false claim and with making false
affidavits, were found not guilty by
a criminal court jury four years
later.
Study of grand jury reports dis
closed that emergency relief at the
institution has been demanded since
1921: Since that time only minor
improvements have been made.

will be held there and delegates will
return to Indianapolis tonight for
meetings of lodge committees.
The grand lodge will continue in
session throughout Wednesday and

when it seemed that nothing could
avert another rout such as National
League champions have undergone
for the past three years, Wild Bill,
belying his nickname with the COOL
ness of veteran, shut out the
Mackmen with seven scattered hits,
beat them to O and SO discon-
certed them that they would up
by scoring only one run in thirty
consecutive innings.
When the Athletics resumed
scoring Monday, however, they did
so with crash and bang.
Crash! That's Two Runs
The crash was the impact of
Jimmy Foxx' big black bat against
the ball and the bang was the COL
lision between the ball and a
hastily vacated left field bleacher
seat.
That home run of Jimnly'S, scor-
ing Mickey Cochrane ahead of him,
punctuated as pretty a pitching
duel as a world series has looked
upon for many an October day.
Until Foxx intruded the lethal
wallop, Burleigh Grimes had been
splashing his spitban past the AS
until he had them yelling for life
preservers:
For the opposing camp, George
Earnshaw and Lefty Grove had
been standing the Cardinals on
their crests.
The left field score board showed
more zeros than a Sclloolboys' re-
port card until the AS went to bat
i'll the ninth inning.
Just Slight Error
Mickey Cochrane, who had been
engaging Burleigh Grimes in a
verbal duel throughout the series,
led off for the Athletics in that
session.
Hello, big ears" Grimes greeted
the Philadelphia catcher. Better
fasten back those shutters or I'll
dust 'em for you"
Well, what with one witty saying
and another, Grimes neglected to
get enough balls over the plate, and
Cochrane walked, emitting loud and
raucous razzberries in the direction
of the pitchers box.
This brought up AL Simmons, who,
as it happened, was shy safety
pin for mis- flannel knickers, and
Grimes had a merry time of it kid
ding AL, the latter being handi-
capped by having to bat with prac-
tically one hand.
Smack! Over and Away.
This time the laugh was. with
Burleigh, for Simmons popped
weakly to Colbert.
Then Jimmy Foxx advanced to
the plate. Grimes sent the ball
over about knee high, while think
ing up an appropriate witticism with
which to disconcert the AS first
baseman.
That gag, whatever it was to have
been, is one that never will be
sprung, for Jimmy took hold OF the
ball with all the muscular force of
his brawny shoulders, arms and
torso and the crash of ash on horse
hide was heard as far away as
Philadelphia.
The ball, in fact, started in the
general direction Of the latter city,
soaring through the mist, over the
fence and far away.
With it went the ball game.

Federal postal authorities this
afternoon were to bring to Indian
apoliS five persons rounded up in
an alleged mail matrimonial
swindle, operated for more than a
year. 1t is charged the quintet
took several thousand dollars from
lonely bachelors throughout the
country.
Timothy O,Leary, alias Robert
White, Philadelphia; Ora Thomas,
alias Ray Gibbs, Los Angeles, and
Mrs. Roxie CLANCY, alias Gibbs,
alias Sanders, we're arrested in

night O'Leary confessed, police say,
duplicating the others.
Miss Oda Lippens was arrested in
Marion, and early today arrest Of
Mrs. Ethel H0Se Brewer-WilliamS,
in Muncie, completed the roundup.
Federal authorities, who will
charge the quintet with using mails
to defraud, say that their investiga-
ton continued over nine months, has
placed in their hands mimeo-
graphed letters, photographs and
other data to provide sufficient evil
dence to convict all members of the
gang.
In a confession allegedly made to
Charlottesville police and A. S.
Kelly and B. F. Simcoke. postal in
spectors, OLeary implicated each of
the others under arrest, although
in Muncie Mrs. Brewer Williams
claimed she was a victim rather
than a member of the conspiracy.
OLeary said that a year ago in
Dayton, he and Miss LippenS first
began operations, inveigling $2,500
from Nick Bouylas, Chicago, and
Joe Gerl, Detroit.
Then they moved to Muncie, he
said, and collected $1,000 from vic
TINS in three or four months. Two
months ago O'Leary said he split
with the Lippens woman and joined
Mrs. Brewer-Williams Thomas and
Mrs. CLANCY.
OLeary said he wrote come
on letters to victims whose
names we're cleaned from matri-
monial bureau magazines, and Mrs.
CLANCY and Mrs. Brewer Williams
followed them up with correspond
ence that concluded with requests
for money for themselves, railroad
fare and to aid sick relatives.
