AUTOS STOLEN
Garage Broken Into and Two Ma
chimes Taken Out and Badly
Smashed.

The garage Of Brueske and Severn
was broken into Sunday night or
Monday .morning and two automo-
biles taken: :out by some reckless men,
who returned the machines badly
damaged sometime before day light
Monday. The machines taken out
we're John Severn's.. big ..Dolson, and
the 4 cylinder Buick runabout of the
LEM agency. The ..Dolson when
found returned to the garage next
morning had several spokes broken
from one rear wheel, the tenders on
the right side smashed, the front
axle sprung, and the body smashed in
the rear, while the smaller Bucks
radiator was smashed.a lamp broken,
and contact plug missing. Several
clews as to the Perpetrators Of the
daring steal have been discovered
and it is expected the identity of
the culprits will be brought to light
soon.
The theft Of the machines occur
red about 10 p. %. Sunday, according
to the evidences, brought cut. Ro-
bert Sta]lman saw the Buick going
north on 3rd avenue and Wisconsin
street about 10:30 that night, with
two men riding in 1T, but thought
nothing of the matter, believing it
to be Fl. Sherry's machine, OF the
same make, while Night Officer Day
saw both the machines near 9th Ave.
and Main street about l:3O a. %.
Monday, but when the occupants saw
the officer one machine turned west,
and the other sped south, both run
ming at high speed. The large ma
chine had three occupants when
seen.
When Mel Severn arrived at the
garage Monday morning, he found
the outer doors had been forced open,
and also the door into the back shop
room had been forced, and upon look
ing at the omobiles, that the two
of them were 10 bad shape, with no
one known to be responsible. It is
evident that the large car was going
fast and struck some heavy object,
stopping so suddenly that the smaller
car following too close behind ran
into the Dolson. The cars must have
been run long distance as there was
out one pint remaining of the four
gallons of gasoline lefG in one tank by
its owner, and both had been re-iilled
with cylinder OIL Both cars wele re-
placed in the same position as found,
and it seems that the reckless chat
feurs also trieu to take out a Ford
car,and did use a Cadillac as he was
scen by Con Buckl y but exchanged
this auto for the other cars. The
damage to the machines will ap-
proximate $3.50 or 5000. The affair
was kept quiet Monday while clews
as to the auto drivers might be
traced.

FOR
LOWER RENT
AGlTATED
Filming Of Student.
To Hold Meeting--Land-
lords Publish Warning.

While there has been no sensational
developments in the rent strike on the
Hill section the conviction of Joseph
Coin, the Russian student who vas
fined sos by Judge Herr in the Fourth
Precinct Police Court yesterday Cor
mailing an oilcloth flag, attached to a
pole. to the window sill of his room
where he boarded on the third floor of
% Hillside place last Saturday, was
discussed last night by groups of the
strikers who assembled on corners and
elsewhere to talk over the strike.
While the landlords were jubilant
over the actioL of the court and
claimed that it would be the means Of
preventing others from taking similar
action the strikers claimed that the
penalty was unjust and entirely too
severe. The strikers will hold a meet
ing in Columbia Hall, at Court and
Prince streets, tomorrow night, and the
announcement has been made that sew
eral speakers from New York will be
present. The police will be on hand
and the talk OF the speakers will be
closely listened to. None will be per-
mitted to urge the strikers to attempt
anything contrary to law, the leaders
say.
In order to make it difficult for the
strikers to secure rooms elsewhere the
Landlords Association placed an ad-
vertisement in the local press telling
the landlords that the strike is unjust
and was declared not for the purpose CT
getting a reduction of rem but to avoid
paying rent.

ten law has no weight here, it seems.
A jury yesterday convicted Benjamin ID.
Stern. a merchant, of assault on Alfred
II. Schaefer, his neighbor, in Ridgefield
Park. Mrs. Stern told her husband
Schaefer had said as he passed her:
"Oh, there's a pretty girl; I'll get a
kissl" and Stern punched Schaefer.
Chief of Police Hayes and many 9TH
ers testified to Stern's good reputation.
How do you determine his reputa-
tion?" asked Prosecutor Rooster.
Because he is not on our black list, I"
said the chief. when a man stays out
late o. nights and cavorts around our
patrolmen put him on the black list"
The prosecutor was so certain the
jury would acquit that he did not sum
up.

GOOD SIGN OF PROSPERITY
One Eastern Railroad IL Forced TO
Enlarge Facility by Increased
Business.

The Lackawsnna railroad has secured
the large double pier at the foot of Gather
inc street, New York City, on the East
river and WILL effective September l, es-
tablish a new freight station with daily
float service to and from the same. This
pier Is ideally located for doing a large
freight business. The section OF the East
side adjacent thereto, and in what is
known the Brooklyn Bridge district" is
filled with industries. manufactures and
business houses OF all kinds. AS a result
of the excellence OF its service the west
bound merchandise traffic of the Lacka-
wanna railroad has shown an eNtraordi-
nary growth in recent years and the estab-
lishment of freight station. aside from
the opportunity of a largely increased busi-
ness In that section. has been found to be
a necessity as relief to the large amount
of traffic which IL has been called upon to
handle through its pier stations on the
North river. Considerable OF the business
which comes from east OF Broadway
will hereafter more conveniently use the
new East river pier.
