The Democratic leaders of the

pressure was brought to bear upon
the Chief Executive of Maryland, who

The time will yet come though

BIG ROBBERY
IS SOLVED BY
SLEUTH LONG

Detective Sergeant Lawrence
Long, of the local police headquar-
tiers, is responsible for what will
probably be the solution of one of
the greatest robberies of automobile
supplies that New York has ever
seen. Last night he went to Newark
following a clue he picked up in this
city, and with three Newark and New
York detectives arrested Richard De
Keiter, thought to be receiver of
most of the stolen goods.
When arrested De Keiter refused
to reveal the whereabouts of his al
legged confederates, pleading with the
police that he would be killed II he
gave out any information. He is
wavering, however, and may this af-
ternoon disclose the identity of the
thieves, the police claim. He is now
confined in police headquarters at
Newark.
]. S. Bretz & Company, of Times
Square, New York, n of the largest
automobile houses in New York, are
the victims of the robbers. The
thefts aggregate $4,000, and have
been going on for more than a year.
Automobile supplies, including 1873
uldSHSCOS, nave Deen 5IOle0 IN tndt
time.
One of the stolen magnetos was
sold to a local garage Monday, and
Detective Long, who knew of the
robberies, learned of the transaction.
He identified the magnetic as belong
ing to the New York company and
traced the salesman, he alleges, to
Newark. There De Keiter was ar
rested at the garage he manages at
221 East Orange avenue.
1t is thought that a gang of
thieves are responsible for the rob-
berries. How they managed to make
regular trips to the garage and spirit
away supplies without being cap
tured is a mystery. The Newark and
New York police are certain, how
ever, that De Keiter bought the
stolen articles from the thieves for
almost nothing, and disposed of
them at high prices.
Alexander Schwalbach, a repre-
sentative of the victimized company,
accompanied the detectives to New
ark last night, and before the arrest
was made he bought a magnetic from
De Keiter, and identified 1t as be-
longing to his company, 1t is alleged,
Then Detective S~ergeants Long, OF
this city; Geegan, of New York, and
Quinn and Khune, of Newark, arrest
ed De Keiter.

His Eavorite Opiate.

Ushers in theaters handle some pc
culiar people during a season, but the
experience of the employee of a Chest
nut street playhouse was a puzzle for
some time. A well dressed, middle
aged man would secure al end seat in
the front row almost every evening.
He would tell the usher If he fell
asleep he was not to be disturbed I'M
til after the show. No sooner would
the orchestra play the overture than
the ushers would notice that the man
was asleep. At the close of the nights
entertainment some one would rouse
the sleeper and he would leave with a
polite acknowledgment. One night he
explained his strange behavior:
'I suffer from insomnia" he said.
