What Is probably about the most un-
usual chain OF circumstances following
the loss OF an article that ever affected
prominent men in the automobile indus
try-some truth that is stranger than
fiction-was related this week by Georg,
Rector a few days ago. Involved in the
adventure were such people as Rudolph
de Lisser, OF the United States Motor
Company: Carl BroeseI, of the SimpleS
Automobile Company; J. f. De Mar. Of
the stearns Company. New York branch;
Augustin ]. Powers, an attorney. and
head of large engraving concern;
George Rector, and others.
II seems that the day OF the opening
OF the worlds season series at New
York, Rector and a party attended. and
while walking down the cnute from the
Eighth Avenue l. Station to the Polo
Grounds he stepped on and picked up
six seats for the following days game.
Upon returning downtown, in order TO
try to find the owner Rector advertised
his find in New York morning papers
The following morning no one came to
claim the tickets, so early in the after
noon Rector felt perfectly justified In
giving these to friends. Mr.. De Lisser
received a pair: Mr.. DE Mar and Mr..
a premium. they were only too welcome.
incidentally Rector told his friends how
he had found the tickets.
Broesel, with friend, arrived at the
grounds ahead of the others and upon
sitting down was tapped on the shoulder
by a detective and told that the tickets
had been stolen and that he would have
10 get out. bTOtSei OpJcCteu 10 DeinE
| talked to in this manner and declared
that he had come by his tickets honestly.
However. he refrained from mentioning
Rector's name. Mr.. A. J. Powers, who
was with the detective. declared that his
brother had had the tickets the previous
day and that his pocket had been
picked
Broesel was about to be elected, when
Mr.. de Lisser and some friends happened
along and then It was revealed that
the tickets were presents from Rector
Mr.. Powers happened to be a personal
friend OF Rector and when he found this
out. he decided to take Broesers and
the others word for II and let them
occupy the seats without further trouble.
A few days ago Powers called on Rec
tor and after apologizing, declared that
he was sincerely sorry for the treat
ment Mr.. BroeseI had received. Il want
to locate Mr.. Broesel and apologize to
him." he said. DO you know his ad-
dress?'
Rector informed his friend where Mr.
Broesel could be found-at the Simplex
Company's place and Powers remarked:
Simplex That's peculiar cein-
cidence; my automobile was burned up
last night and I need a new one
Then you had better go over and
square yourself by buying one OF
BrOeSel cars. Rector ADVISED
Powers met MIR. Broesel, apologized for
the misunderstanding. and did buy a new
Simplex, which was delivered to him last
Friday.
