as his guard OF honor during the drive
TO Independence square a mile distant.
As the train carrying the presidential
party left on the return trip TO Washing

clapped and cheered, while the president
stood on the observation platform and
bowed and smiled.

CHICAGO BULLS IN
QUINCY FOR THIEVES
Trio Arrested In Clayton, Trying to
Sell Machine, VIII be Taken
20 Windy City.

Quincy Herald: Detective Sergeants
John Burke and j. P. Coen arrived In
the city this morning from Chicago,
called here by the arrest of the three
automobile thieves who tried to sell a
seven passenger new touring car in
Clayton for $3.50.
The Chicago bulls say that the trio
are notorious auto thieves and that
the Chicago police have been after
them for some time. The three
thieves names as given in the ac-
count OF their arrest are the same
except for the one given as Tom Con-
ley. His real name is Ed McDermott.
The other two are known as Sam
Carnage and Tom O'Connor, though
these are probably not their right
names.
The three are trio OF auto thieves
that have made a business Of jumping
into machines left standing in Chicago,
riding out of the city and selling them
for whatever they would bring. That
they were finally caught is due to the
good work of the sherins ONCE here
and the Clayton deputies who realized
there was something wrong about the
affair.
AS stated yesterday, the car belongs
