BOYS PLOT To
ROB FORD Of HIS
FORTUNE N|PPED.
FOUR CLERKS ARRESTED
HAD 5000 $50 PROFIT
SHARING CHECKS

Detroit, Mich, Sept LIN the ar
rests Of four young clerks in the f-ni
ancial and accounting department OF
the Ford Company this afternoon
Highland Park police and Ford offic-
ials declared they had frustrated a
plot which had for its object the steal.
ing of 5000 Fort profltsharing checks,
easily cashable at any bank in the
country, with a value of $l50,000
The prisoners are: Frederick Clark 23
years old; Milton Paw, former phil
adelphia clerk; Edward Harper IL
years old. Ford office boy. and Hen
ry Aubrey, 2G years old, formerly en-
ployed in Toledo. Aubrey, the High
land Park police say, was arrested
after statements were made TO Chief
Of Police Seymour and Treasurer
4 ISlngensmith, of the Ford Company,
lby the other three.
Since the issuance of the Ford prof
lit-sharing checks some weeks ago,
and which have been pouring from
! the local postoffice throughout the
country at the rate Of 10000 a day.
news has come to the Ford officials
OF several plots to obtain part OF
the checks. or to make oounterfeits
Of them. At one time the lithograph-
lers at work on the checks were call
ed off, the plates were destroyed, and
new ones, which were called fool
Iproof,' were substituted
Captain Peterson, of the Highland
Park police, and detectives employed
by the Ford company, have been
working on the case for some time.
When it was apparent, after cursory
examination of office records and the
unsent checks that about 5000 were
unaccounted for, the arrests were
made. All but about so were re
covered, it was said today, through |
the confessions OF the prisoners who
declared they had no accomplices and
that they thought il would be easy to
pass the checks after a reasonable
time had elapsed to account for their
receipt by the payees,
The checks, the prisoners explain
ed, would be signed, ,ssealed and sent
in the mailing department in the reg,
ular way, and would be abstracted af-
ter they had been accounted for asl
sent. In this way they were able toi
their activities from the de-
teetives and their employers.

IN LILAC TIME.

I'm LlLAS LIN T..
JUST such day as this, perhaps.
OF mist and driving rain,
A hundred years ago they stood
By this old window pane:
Two lovers leaning here to gaze
Together at the rain.
Perhaps it was the lilac storm
AS now. Lookl Do you see
The lilac branches toss and wave
Their plumes oil every tree?
Whom are they beekoning? Two
ghosts
Unseen by you and me.
/ think the fire blazed on the hearth
As now, right cheerily,
Yon portraits on the wall. then fresh,
Looked down benignantly;
And then, | think, she raised her eyes
To his quite suddenly.
Two lovers leaning here 70 look
Out of the self-same pane
Down the broad old gravel walk,
Splashed with the drops Of rain
That dripped from off the lilacs,
Or dashed against the pane.
And when they dropped, as suddenly,
Upon the window pane,
His heart began to beat so fast
He could not hear the rain,
Or tsee the purple lilacs brush
Against the window pane.
There, drop the curtain, deari We
have
No right to look again
At those old lovers leaning there
Forgctful of the rain.
Yet, seel Two names-and here's a
date
Scratched on the window-pzne.
