LAIDLEY DIES One of Kingston's familiar figures died on Monday in the per- son of Samuel G. Laidley, at the age of 79 years. The late Mr. Laid- ley was for a great many years an expert harness-maker, having a shop on Queen street and later on Wellington. For the past few years he carried on business at the cor- ner of Queen and Wellington streets and only a few weeks ago his residence and shop were badly gutted. For years the late Mr. Laidley lived alone, being a widow- er. A daughter resides in Syracure, N.Y. The funeral will be held on Wednesday afternoon from §. S. Corbett's funeral parlors to Catar- aqui cemetery, AFTER BATTLE A burglar broke into the home of Charles Hoselton at Bath, 18 miles west of Kingston, at 4 a.m. yesterday and after a fight with Mr. Hoselton, in which he was quite badly hurt, made good his escape with $500. Mr. Hoselton was awakened by noises and went downstairs. He heard some one moving, and final- ly engaged the intruder in battle, The burglar was quite a big man and proved more than a match for the householder, although he finally took to his heels and ran. Mr. Hoselton ran out of the house after him fnd saw the man get into a coupe automobile which was waiting about: a block from the house. The car drove away in the direction of Kingston. Mr. Hoselton has only a vague des- cription of the burglar. ZINOVIEFF LETTER WAS NOT GENUINE SOVIET DECLARES Moscow, March 20.--Renewed denial that the famous Zinovieff letter, which is recurring once more in English politics, is genuine was made today in an official statement by the Soviet Foreign Office. The statement says: "All of Premier Baldwin's references to the alleged declaration of Soviet leaders, with which he has attempted to prove retrospectively the genuineness of the Zinovieff letter, are the purest fiction. "This malicious invention be- comes exceptionally evident when it is recalled that the Soviet Gov- ernment offered to appoint a Com- mission to investigate the origin of these documents immediately after their publication, hut the British Government, as is well known, re- fused to accept the offer." RUMANIAN PRIESTS WOUNDED IN FIGHT Bucharest, March 20.--Fifteen Greek Catholic priests, nrarching at the head of a procession of 5,- 000 adherents at Tagul Mare, Transylvania, on Sunday, were wounded with bayonets in a clash between soldiers and the march- ers.

Where Service, Quality and Price are Right A LOCOMOTIVE RACES GAS CAR Canadian Pacific Overhaul "Desperadoes" Who Had Stolen Work Car Montreal, March 20.--~A regular movie thriller was enacted by the Canadian Pacific Railway police to- day, when they pursued and captur- ed a quartette of older boys who had stolen a motor-driven work car with the intention of making their way te Ottawa. The chase was made in a focomotive. The "desperadoes" decided to seek their fortunes on farms in the district of Ottawa. Having no money, they secured a small motor- driven work car and stepped on the gas. They disregarded all sig- nals and semaphores. As they passed South Junction, some dis- tance from Montreal, a herrified jto their telegraph operator, aware that the boys would run into an oncoming train n a short time, notified head- quarters. A locomotive was imme- diately requisitioned from Outre- mont yards and the chase began; four officers accompanying the en- gine crew. Finding the pace set by the pursuers too hot for them, the fugitives abandoned the little car as they reached Lachine Bridge, 12 miles from Montreal, and took heels. The policemen, thinking they were a gang of ban- dits, pulled out their artillery and continued the hunt afoot. The chase went on merrily for two miles until the hunters closed in on their prey near St. Constant, a village across the river. The boys put up no resistance and were tak en back to Montreal. Appearing before Judge Enright, they were charged with theft and obstructing the right of way. They gave their names as: George Talmadge, George Taylor, Rene Dafault and Raouls Gerbert. They range in age between 18 and 15 years. The work car was removed from the tracks 10 minutes before a freight was scheduled to reach that particular spot. THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1928 --_-- NEW DURANT FOUR BECOMES POPULAR More Expensive Cars and Performs Like a Six According to those who are now driving the new Durant Four, this latest four-cylinder product of Durant Metors of Canada, Limit- ed, is acquitting itself even better than was at first thought possible. A great many people are getting a real thrill out of their friends by asking them for a ride in their new "six" cylinder car. The new Four rides so nicely and the motor is so powerful and smooth that those who are familiar with it readily believe that is is a six rather than a four. It has even been reported that some of these riders wouldn't be- lieve that they were riding in a four until the engine hood was lift- pu-------------- A -- AIRY LOOX] Kio 3-Piece Chesterfield Suite Fine Quality Chester- field Suite upholstered in Taupe Jacquard.

The new Durant Four is, of course, a very smooth running car. It has the cold-rivetted chassis frame, like its big broth- ers and the Red Seal Continental Motor, though four cylinder, is of just as fine quality material as the larger six eylinder motors. Four Wheel Brakes One thing that is adding greatly to the performance and general pleasure of the Durant Four is the acquisition of Bendix Four Wheel Brakes. These are considered to be the very finest that emgineer- ing skill can produce. Their ac- tion is exceedingly soft and yet absolutely sure and very little pressure is required to get maxi- play and it is all done so accurate ly and so quickly that the very best results are secured. The Red Seal Continental Mo= tor is more powerful this year be- cause it contains certain refine- ments that have been perfected * during he past twelve months. | There is a new carburetor that is fast pick-up. As in the Star cars of last year, the new motors have full forced feed lubrication ail. . through and the cooling system ig controlled by a themostat. This makes winter starting easy as the water is not allowed to circulate until it has become warm. Longer Wheelbase : The Durant Four has a longer: wheelbase than the Star four had last year, the increase being four mum results. A whole story could be written around these brakes because they are made by a corporation whose reputation for the best is well established. They are so con- structed that at first a third of the braking surface is aclled ino play, then as he pressure on the 'foot brake increases another third takes contact and for a dead stop the remaining third comes into inches. This is a big improves ment as it makes long riding a real pleasure. The longer wheels base plus the design of the spring suspension provide for this added riding comfort. | The two-tone upholstery is an ' attractive feature often comment- ed upon by the ladies and the new and exclusive Durant radiator gives the car a very striking ape pearance. hd Very handsome $5.50, for lesigns, in table S is very reasonzb From $1.98 to, plain panels an 2x72" Av Very Fine Qual Complete with An Silk Panels width.
