WAHHINUTO.V. Dec 6. Lines were
drawn here today for some of the bitterest

of n resolution to Investigate expenditures
of 'tha late campaign und Henator Boles

to break up tho Democrats control of the

Henator Owen planned to press for Im

Investigating committee working while the
big expenditures of the recent campulgn
ara still clear In tha memory of tho coun
try. The resolution grants Immunity to
witnesses so as to facilitate the committee's
work nnd enable them to catch ' higher
upa," particularly in connection with tha
voting In Indiana, West Virginia, Connecti

Tho resolution probably will authorlra tha

Three shots, fired In tha direction of a
speeding touring car early today, nwakened
residents of Thtrty-ITrel nnd Spring Onrden
streets, but failed to halt the rapidly dis
appearing motor or Ita three occupants
The latter, who aa yet nre unidentified nnd
uncaptured, nre believed by tho police to
bo members of n gang of bandits who
utlllie tha automobile as the theatre of
their hold-ups
Georga Mitchell, thlrty-soven years old,
of Twentieth and Nicholas streets, was ac
costed by tha thrae men In the car ns ho
stood at Fifteenth ntreet nnd Columbia
avenuo shortly nfter midnight Tha nutolnts
offered to tako Mitchell home He accepted
the prorrer, out says mat instead or fol
lowing a direct course the car was taken
through many streets until Mitchell was
completely bewildered.
He remembers crossing a brldgo over
tha Schuylkill, and a few minutes later,
ona of tho men held him while the two
others rifled his pockets, obtaining 14
Mitchell at first waa unable to mako out
cry, but finally compelled his assailant to
rcmovo his hand from his mouth At his
first cry for assistance, he sajs, tho three
men tossed him out of tho car nnd drove
off. Policeman Mc.N'nlly, of tho Thirty
ninth street nnd Lancaster avenue Rtatlon,
heard Mitchell's calls for help and found
tha victim of the hold-up lying In the
roadway nt Thirty-first nnd Brnndywlno
streets
Tho automobile, with Ita rear lights ex
tinguished, was still In sight. Mc.N'ally sent
three bullets after it. but the party paid no
heed to the calls to stop or to the bullets
From a meagre description which
Mitchell and McNally were able to glvo of
tho gang and their machine tho police have
fnlnt hopes of making nny arrests
Mltcholl wan sent to tha Presbyterian
Hospltnl, but was sent home lator, after
several lacerations on his head had bien
treated
Although tha leather market la ndvanelnr, we
bste made a fortunate purehaae, and wi are pleased
ta be able to offer you these exceptional values,
