HINDU ANTIQUES
IN HUNT FOR
4. OWNER.
Suite Wanted by Wales Now
Claimed by 2 Argentines;
Police Take Hand in Case

ENOS AIRES, April "a
ONSO-The ownership of a
suite of antique Hindu furniture
on exhibit at the British Trade
Exposition here provided Buenos
Aires with an intriguing mystery
today.
Originally the property Of a
grand mogul of India, noted for
his wealth and court splendor
200 years ago, it was lent to the
fair organizers here by DR.. Al
fredo Sosa, well-known Argentine
lawyer.
Fails At Sale
The Prince of Wales, during
his visit here several weeks ago,
tried to purchase the furniture
and offered 100000. The deal
failed because DR.. SOSa was un-
able to produce documents prov.
ing legitimate ownership of the
furniture.
The matter became more COM
plicated, however, when DR.. Car
los Querencio Laserre visited the
fair and today announced he rec
ognized the antique set as that
Of his dead grandfather, Admiral
Laserre.
DR.. Laserre alleged his grand.
father purchased the furniture
in Austria from an ex,Indian
prince at the beginning of the
century, but that'it vanished mys-
teriouSly from the admiral'S home
the day after his death.
Sent By Morgan
Defending his ownership, DR..
Sosa declared he was being black
mailed and stated the suite was
sent to his father by J. Pierpont
Morgan.
The latter. DR.. sosa added.
shipped it from New York on
the steamer Casilda In Septem-
Der, 1907.

 The program is as follows: Pete Shea, master of ceremonies; Agnes Ladden will render several vocal se- lections; Anna c. Quilter, "Old Home Town In Ireland' and other songs: Francis Sheehan, Little Bit of Heaven; Mildred Roche.

Engine Operation Smoother
Smoother engine operation has been
obtained through a finely balanced

Through four sets of leaf springs flex-

TO permit slight movements or osctl-

Other noteworthy new features OF

Full pressure fabrication to all i'm

another new and important advance
ment contained in the new OldSrno-
bile. Part of this uncanny ability to
ignore below zero temperatures is due
to the improved down draft carbure-
ton and manifolding.
The design Of the carburetor plays
q part in this positive starting meth
cd. One feature of the design Is a
small poppet valve incorporated In the
body of the choke butterfly valve. The
poppet valve automatically opens and
prevents the carburetor from becom-
ing flooded even at full choke after
the engine has started.
The four rubber engine mountingS
Rave been newly designed SO that adj
Justments r not required. Another
entirely new feature is q propeller
shaft centering device. This consists
of a spindle extending from the pro-
pellor shaft into a bearing in the for
ward universal joint and keeps the
shaft correctly conferred under all
conditions and eliminates tho posi-
bility OF whip in the forward end. I

The travel Of the gear shift lever

At the same time it engages a cone

Further travel Of the shift lever

The entire arrangement provides

It permits full use Of the added en-
CINE power, giving second gear speeds

supplies a type Of a~cceleration that

With the Oldsmobile down draft

This automatic manifold heater Is
a new development which materially
improves car performance. The heat
or chamber is built around the intake
manifold and the exhaust manifold
Il connected to 1t. The heater is pro-
vtded with an automatic valve, which
regulates the amount of exhaust gas
