hardened today in view of colder

were complaints from Kansas that some
damage had been done by freezing tenn

of snow. Bulls were encouraged also by
hopes of export sales. The opening,
which was d shade to Is higher, was fol-
lowed by a moderate further gain.

raised. The close was easy at 1saM to "a

Homesick Youth Steals
M0t0rb0at to Make
Trip Around Cape May

ATLANTIC CITY, July 2S.-Ren-
dered desperate by an overpowering
attack of inconsistencies and without
sufficient funds to reach his parents
in Philadelphia. George Smith, aged
seventeen yeaSs, conceived the daring
project of communicating 20-foot
gasoline launch and making the trip
home by rounding Cape May and
sailing up the Delaware.
A boat owned by Lewis Mixner and
n1oored near the Albany avenue
bridge appealed to Smith, and turn
ing over the engine after the craft
had been cast off he went chugging
gaily towards the Inlet channel
Mixner learned of Smiths daring
coup soon afterwards and started in
pursuit with another and speedier
craft, In which the homesick boy was
quickly overhauled.
He was brought back to the boat
landing and placed in charge Of
Patrolman Howard Butler, who
brought the lad to the City Hall.
Had Smith been allowed to con.
tinue his journey he would in all
probability have been drowned. He
refuses at the Jail to tell who his
parents are or to give his Philadel-
phia address.

ARREST EIGHTEEN
ASCAR THIEVES
Gang Alleged to Have System
atically Robbed Erie
Railroad.

POMPTON, July CAN alleged
scheme for the systematic robbery of
freight cars of the Greenwood lake
division Of the Erie railroad has been
disclosed as the result Of the arrest
of eighteen members of a gang who
for several weeks, Ii is said, have
obtained from s., 600 to $1,000 in loot.
The arrests were made yesterday in
Pompton Lakes. The detectives have
arrested as one of the ringleaders,
Clarence McKinnon, who was EN-
r'er@1 in the freight depot of Pomp-
ton Junction. He is declared to be.
49,. u.bg 70 a confession of one If
the members of the gang, the man
who furnished the information con-
corning the contents of cars which
- robbed by members of the
gang.
According to the information In the
possession of the authorities. Nc
Kinnon got mold of the freight way
bills, noted the number Of the car
and its contents, mapped out the
schedules of the trains and then
conveyed to other members of the
gang the information which would
indicate where the cars containing
valuable loot would be placed on
sidings or held over night.
The plan worked so well that the
railroad authorities were puzzled
for weeks at the great losses. Care
full. watching of the cars failed 10
reveal the source of the loophole
through which freight disappeared.
On account of the fact that tae
thieves carefully resealed the cars
after making way with loot, 1t was
difficult for the detectives to ascer-
tain on what part of the railroad
the looting was taking place.
Through confessions made by some
of those under arrest it was ascer
tanned that the same gang is respon
sible for the breaking into and rob-
berry of the Midvale, Haskell and
Pompton stations of the railroad.
Not much loot was gotten from the
stations, but considerable damage
was done to the buildings.
Most of the material stolen con-
sisted of metalware and these arti-
cles were sold throughout the terri
tory where the thieves operated.
Most of the robberies took place near
Pompton Junction, where cars were
held overnight for transfer. Other
cars were robbed while on sidings
at Pompton Lakes, Haskell, Midvale
and other points along the road. The
prisoners were locked up over night
at Pompton Lakes. Justice Frank
Cornelius issued the warrants. Com
mitments we're issued by Judge Law
renee. McKinnon, together with
Harry Osborne and George Titus, are
declared to be the principals in the
robberies.
