This New Maxwell with long stroke, self-starting
motor. A strosg, speedy, carefttlly equipped ear
This strikingly attractive four-cylinder,
22-horsepower Maxwell Roadster
breaks all precedents for the tremendous
value it offers. Popular at first sight,
it already is recognized as the simplest,
best built, most stylish, low priced, high
grade runabout in the world.
. Never was such rigid, staunch, mas
sive construction put into a car of mod-'
erate price. In every way it conforms to
the Maxwell standard of high efficiency.
It has all the attributes of the larger
world-famous Maxwells, and in addition
is wonderfully cheaper to maintain.
Foremost and unparalleled is its price
of $785, f. o. b. factory, fully equipped,
including self-starter.
The buyer of this car gets a REAL
automobile; not a cheaply finished,
tinny, rattling contraption. This alone,
should command buyers' careful
spection.

Power, sturdy construction, relia
bility, simplicity, style, easy riding and
complete equipment these are the fea
tures of the "30" which have given it
undisputed leadership and made the
"30" the most popular family touring
car in the United States. These are the
features that enabled the Maxwell to
win the Glldden Tour and the National
Touring Championship, making the only
perfect team score in the notable run
from New York to Jacksonville, Fla.,
and defeating teams of cars costing as
-vhlgh as J6.000.. Only the vast pur
chasing power and quality producing fa
cilities of the United States Motor Com
pany make it possible to build and sell
the Maxwell "30" touring car for
fl.145, and the "30" roadster for
11.110.
Compare the specifications of the
"30"' with, those of other cars at "about
the same price and you will readily see
where the greater value exists.. Couple
this comparison with the Maxwell's
public record for reliability, speed, hill
climbing and long life and your choice
Inevitably will be the Maxwell "30."
Maxwell cars stay new and yield efficient service longer than any other car
Maxwell "40'Mouring Car, -$1,678
Beauty, luxury and comfort have been developed to the utmost in the hand

that would make the Maxwell "40" better has been spared or omitted.
Its style, body design, chassis construction and equipment are right up-to-the-minute,
embodying the best ideas of the most popular French models.
Maxwell cars have always represented the greatest value among first-class
automobiles of moderate price. They have always distinguished themselves la
gruelling contests where endurance qualities and stamina counted, tyaxwell tour
ing cars won last year's Glidden tour more completely than it was ever won be
. fore with 100 per cent efficiency record. They hold the world's speed record la
their class. They enjoy undisputed championship in every way.
This year, in addition to an unequal led record of achievement, the Maxwell
" "40" possesses a measure of style, fashionable design and luxury of appoint
ments unapproached by any car of Its proportions at any price. Larger in every
way, more powerful, with every equipment need supplied, this greatest of all
Maxwells and peer of all moderate priced cars., sells for the remarkably low Dries
of $1,675, fully equipped, including self-starter, f. o. b. factory. Roadster only
$1,625. See it and you will be amzed atlU price, ride in it and you will buy it.

EJEltallD BY A KEY CHECK
For Tea Years William A. Vollnter
Wm Prominent in Thia City
' and W11 Identified with
Clothing; Badness.
Willjam A. Vollmer, for ten years a
prominent business man of Omaha, five
years at the head of the clothing de
partment of the Bennett company, 'and
for five years in the clothing business
for himself on JSouth Sixteenth street, is
believed to be dead in Colorado Springs,
Colo. .
The Omaha police have received a tele
gram from the chief of police of Colo
rado Springs, saying that a W. A. Voll
mer was found dead in that city Mon
day and that upon his person was found
a key. check bearing the inscription
"1501. -Morts Clothes Shop, Omaha, Neb."
flealih Poor, He Sella Oat.
Last April Vollmer, on account of poor
health, sold his business to the Morts
Clothing company. Later he was given
a key check, the number and the words
corresponding with those on the' check
found on the dead man. This coincidence
leads the police to the belief that the
dead man is the Omaha Vollmer, though
they think it strange that the Identifica
tion qould not be made in Colorado, as
a brother resides there and is in busU
ness. Another brother resides here, but
he is out of the city.
1 la Eastern Sanitarium. ' '
After selling out his business here VolU
mer went to Columbus, O., where, until
a few weeK ago, he was in a sani
tarium, suffering with nervousness.
While there he wrote to the Morts peo
ple that upon his recovery be expected
to So west and that when he passed
through Omaha he. would call on them.
Since when they have had no word from
him. - - : .
Corby is Exhibiting
Some Knockout Blows
William Corby came from Lincoln to see
the carnival,', - He probably will not go
home as soon as he expected. , ,
While on his way to the home of his
brother, J. - J. Corby, 2821 Davenport
street, he was singled out by a brace of
thugs who gave him a thorough beating
and ran away with his valuables, which
consisted of a good watch and $20 in
cash.
The holdup occurred at Twenty-seventh
and Davenport streets, and was a spec
tacular one. The assailants drew guns
in the regular fashion, but used them as
bludgeons. Corby can testify to the cor
rectness of aim by exhibiting three miss
ing teeth and an assortment of abra
sions. .
Farmers Knock Off
to See Big Events
"There will be large crowds of Iowa
people in Omaha' Wednesday, Thursday
and- Friday." says George ' Edwards of
Denlson, who is a carnival visitor. Most
farmers are very busy, but they are going
to take a few days off and come to the
big show. i
"For years we have looked upon Ak-Sar-Ben
festivities as the big events. It
Is always a great show and affords
people an opportunity of getting out and
seeing what Is going on. It costs a few
dollars, but what do we care for that?
While we have no money to burn, we
have plenty of It this fall, as we have
gathered a bumper crop and are receiving
bumper prices." , -.- . . .
CLEVER DIPS ROUNDED DP
Seven Sleek Pickpockets Cross Trail
of Omaha Detectives.
GANG IS IN FOB A TRIMMING
Detectives Organise in Advance In
Anticipation of Thief Opera,
tlons and More Arrests
Are Expected,
Seven professional pickpockets, some of
them said to be among the cleverest men
In the business were rounded up Tuesday
morning by detectives. The arrests are
probably the most important made , in
Omaha li: a long time.
Their names are immaterial, but they
ore slated as follows: Harry Ahrens,
Kansas C!ty; H. E. Collins, St. Louis;
Ralph Cunningham, Kansas City; Robert
Murphy, Hammond; John Davis, Harry
Williams and P. O. London, St. Paul.
The detectives claim to have evidence
against Collins, Cunningham and Murphy,
who are rated as "dips" of national repu.
tatlon. '
The arrests were made simultaneously
In d'fferent parts of the city, Detectives
Murphy, Sullivan, Donahue and Lahey
participating.
The seven men have been at work at
the carnival grounds, where many vie
tlms have been touched the last few days.
It Is thought also that some of the men
are those who have been robbing street
car passengers.
Suspicions Are Aroased.
Ahrens was arrested on lower Douglas
street. His actions aroused the suspicion
of the detectives, who were starting out
to round up the rest of the gang. Ahrens,
was sent to the station and the officers
spread- out. ' Collins. Cunningham and
Murphy were arrested as they came out
of . a lodging house at' TwelftM - and
Dodge streets. Davis, Williams and Lan
don were arrested on the Tenth street
viaduct while on their way to the Union
station.
Chief Detective Maloney, when asked
how he obtained the information as to
the whereabouts of the men, said they
were Just picked up on the street, but it
Is understood about headquarters that
the police had a general plan all worked
out before they managed to get their
men-
Other Dips Are Spotted.
Chief Maloney says there are several
other well known "dtps" and purse
snatchers In town and declares he has a
line on them. He expects that at least
three more will be rounded up soon.
But two pockets were picked on the
carnival grounds last night and the
thleses managed to get but paltry sums
of money.
The police have notlfld the victims of
the pickpockets to appear at the station
and Identify the men. If no evidence
can be gathered they will be arraigned
on a vagrancy charge. At present they
are booked as suspicious characters and
are being held pending an Investigation.
Eddie Evans, the pickpocket who was
arrested Saturday night, when he at
tempted to go through H. E. Palmer of
Falrbury, was arraigned in police court
on a charge of larceny from the person.
His case was continued until Wednesday.
Bishop of Cheyenne
Regaining Strength
Bishop McGovern, who recently under
went a surgical operation at St. Cath
erine's hospital, Is gradually regaining his
strength and hopes to leave the hospital
soon. He is now able to walk about his
room each day. The bishop enjoyed a
visit with Monslgnor Cummiskey of Lara
mle, vicar general of the diocese of Chey I
enne, who stopped In Omaha enroute from j
