STOLEN AUTO is QUICKLY RECOVERED
THROUGH STORY IN THE EVENING STAR

A story published in the Evening
Star led to the almost immediate re-
covery of a touring car stolen early
Saturday morning from the'~garage
of william H. Stevenson, jr., of SAB
Summer avenue. When found, the
machine gave evidence of having
been used in another burglary or
attempted burglary. The car had
been run ITS miles, according to the
speedometer, and every drop of nine
gallons of gasolene had been used up.
In an early edition of Saturdays
Evening Star, Paul Griffin, of 66 East
Baldwin street, Bloomfield, read a
detailed account of the theft of an
automobile bearing license No. 8,716,
1873. from Mr.. Stevenson's garage
about a a. m. that morning.
The story reminded him that he
had seen a touring car with a spfotch
of white down its door like a crudely
drawn figure standing outside his
home, on the opposite side of the
street.
"Did you notice that auto standing
outsider" he asked his mother.
"Why, yes" she said Il wonder
whose it is"
II think I'll go out and look at it,"
he remarked. There's story in
the Evening Star here about stolen
automobile"
Mr.. Griffin found one of the license
plates had been torn off the auto
mobile and that the other had been
tied up with wire in such way that
1t could not be read. The lights of
the car had been removed and thrown
inside and with them was the missing
license plate. It bore No. 8,716.
Mr.. Griffin notified the police, and
they, in turn, informed Mr.. Steven
son.
It appeared to the police as if the
stolen car had been used by the bur-
glars for some other crime or at
tempted crime. The cars machinery
showed that 1t had been driven at
high speed The wheels were muddy.
The mysterious white dash on the
door of the car had been put on de-
liberateIy. The brush with which the
paint had been applied was found in
the tonneau. The theory of the po-
lice Is that the mark was to identify
the car. 1t is thought that the men
who stole the machine placed the
mark on it so that their associates
would have no difficulty in recognize
ing 1t.
The car was abandoned in very bad
shape. The clock on the dash board

Too Much Talk Brings
Pr0batiOner Into Tolls

Charged with being a delinquent
probationer. William Mcintosh was
returned to the probation office by
Judge Herr In the Fourth Precinct
Police Court today. Lieutenant Su-
chard received a telephone message
Saturday night from Mcintosh who
told the lieutenant that he was Ser
geant Sebold, formerly plainclothes-
man in the Fourth Precinct. The talk
over the wire was a little to worm to
suit Suchard. Suspicious he sent Ser
geant Kull and Patrolman Brady to
investigate. The officers traced the call
to a saloon at $40 West Kinney street,
but when they arrived Mcintosh was
not there. He was finally located
in another saloon at Boyd and West
Kinney streets, boasting about what
he had done. He told the story to
Kull and Brady without knowing
who they were and after he was fin
ished he was placed under arrest.

consideration of $500 in cash, which
money was placed in the Bowery
Savings Bank, New York, and which
money was to defray the expenses of
the funeral of Mrs. Soper.
Three years later, the co-defendant
testified today, he learned that Mrs.
Soper had made a life lease of the
property to her son, DR.. Oliver w.
Soper. A release of this agreement
was afterward brought about, witness
testified, by the payment of $3.50, of
which amount, witness said, he be-
lieved DR.. Soper received one-third,
the rest being equally divided between
the lawyers for either side.

ments, $340 in assessments, S1,700 in
taxes and was required to pay other

aged woman; that he was met at the
door by Mrs. Butterworth, who in
formed him that Mrs. Soper did not
care to see him, which statement was
afterward made to him personally by
Mrs. Soper, he said.

One school of laundresses advocates
soaking clothes for only an hour or so.
These advocates of short soaking say
that long soaking distributes the dirt
throughout the fabric of the cloth and
makes il hard to wash out Short soak
ing. they say. loOsens It sufficiently to
make il easy to get out.
OF course. there are housekeepers who
have always soaked Mondays laundry
all through Sunday night. and the clothes
worn in their houses have been white
as snow Their method is quite satisfac-
tory to them
But the short-soak method might be
tried with benefit in cases where II is
inconvenient to sort the clothes and put
them in water ten or twelve hours be-
fore they are to be washed. This is the
method. Sort the clothes carefully. and
dip those that are very much soiled into
hot soda water-made with tablespoon
full Of washing soda In three gallons of
soft water, or a tablespoonful and
quarter Of the soda iE the same amount
OF hard water Wiring the clothes out
and put them in soapy water to soak.
Don't put any ammonia or other alkali
In the soaking water. The soda Is sum-
cient Yet It is not strong enough to
weaken the fabric Of the cloth
