MILLION DOLLAR
Theft is TRIED
New York Gang Is Reported to
Have Taken Large Sum
TAKE MONEY IN MAIL POUCHES

Cash Was on Way to Bank-one
Pouch Contained over 100000, Re-
port-Deed Committed Last Satur-
day-Gang Contemplated on Getting
Huge Sum.
New York, Feb. 29.-It became
known here that daring attempt to
steal a sum estimated at $1,000, 900,
consigned to New York banks, had
been made on Saturday morning by
burglars who broke into United
States mail van while it was on q
ferry in transit from the Jersey Cen.
trail raiload. 1t was admitted by postal
inspectors that several other packages
not consigned to banks had been
taken.
One Pouch Contained 100000.
1t was said that four money pouches
were stolen and, according to reports
from other sources, one of them con-
tanned 100000. One of the pouches
came from Washington and Is be-
lieved to have contained a large
amount of currency from the treasury
department
The postoffice inspectors who have
been detailed to the case admitted
that the thieves had secured several
packages other than those consigned
to the banks, but they professed liz.
norance as to the extent of the booty.
They also refused to make any state
ment as to how the robbery was per-
petrated.
In many respects the theft has
proved one Of the most mysterious
the postal authorities have had to
contend with in many years.
Essential Facts.
The essential details as outlined by
the authorities are as follows:
Baltimore G. Ohio train No. $40 left
Washington Friday night at 8 o'clock
arriving at Jersey City at 5:26 o'clock
Saturday morning. On board were six
registered mail pouches in charge of
j. H. Mccall of Baltimore. Three
pouches contained Baltimore mail;
three contained Washington mail.
Locked In Truck.
At Jersey City the registered mail
was placed and locked in a screened
truck of the Postal Transfer Service,
Inc, after being checked off, to be
taken to Manhattan. The truck in
charge Of Mccall and a chauffeur by
the name of O'Hara left Jersey City
on the ferryboat Wilkesbarre at $40
a. m, arriving at the new postoffice,
Thirty-hrst street and Eighth avenue,
at 3:45 a. m.
In checking out the six registered
pouches at the new postoffice the loss
Of four Of the pouches was discovered
while the truck was en- route from
Jersey City to this place of final
checking.
Only One Had Key.
Mccall was presumably the only
man who held key to the mail wag-
on lock. The screens and lock were
both found intact. The two most i'm.
portant pouches, one from the Riggs
bank in Washington and the other
from the treasury department, were
not taken. Unofficial sources estimate
that these two pouches contained mail
valued at $1,000, 900.

Lords grace seem
ed to have an advantage in these de-
bates. Thus bitter feeling was aroused.
To the Jewish rulers this Message
respecting Jesus as the Messiah and a
Jewish responsibility for His death
and respecting Gods favor in raising
Him from the dead was gross error,
which was likely to arouse popular
spirit of resentment against them
selves as rulers and to be subversive
of all law and government in Pales-
tine. Indeed, these Christians claim
ed that because Of this rejection OF
Jesus the Jewish nation had been re-
jected from Gods favor, and that dire
calamities were coming.
ST. Stephens second battle was the
one which preceded his death. The
Sanhedrin. angry with him, subOrned
witnesses-bribed men to make COM

phemed, with having declared Moses
and the Law obsolete, with declaring
that the Temple was no longer Gods
Temple. These witnesses had put to-
gether certain isolated sayings Of st.
Stephen which. thus patched up. made
the truth appear false. blasphemous.

After these paid witnesses had given
their testimony. charging blasphemy-
the penalty for which was stoning-

ness. permitted st. Stephen to reply.
This he did In mastery way, by
taking up the thread Of Jewish history.
showing his implicit faith In Gods
promises to Abraham. In orderly man.
ner he brought the thought OF his
hearers down to the time of Moses and
the giving of the Law. and reminded
them that Moses had said that in due
time God would raise up greater
Prophet than he. deuteronomy 1918.
49, This greater Prophet. he allowed
them to infer. was Jesus; and since
Moses had particularly referred to
Jesus thus as greater. 1t could not be
dislOyalty to Moses to accept that
greater Prophet. Thus one feature of
the charge was overthrown.

hearers that God first established the
Tabernacle In the wilderness. and later
had provided the Temple in its stead.
1t was no disrespect to the Tabernacle
for them to believe In Solomon's Tenn

higher Temple should take the place of
the building made with hands. The
higher Temple was spiritual, to be
composed of Gods people. who as liv-

Moses Tabernacle. neither should it be

Cadillac Again First
in Tire-mile Contest

For the second time in two years a
Cadillac has won first prize in the an
nual tire mileage contest conducted by
the Ajax Rubber Company, Inc. The
result of the contest, which covers a
years use of its tires, has Just been
announced by the Ajax Company
This year the first price of $500 goes
10 George c. Mathis who secured the
remarkable tire service represented in
27,22O miles. Mr.. Mathis drives a
Cadillac for Mrs. J. d. Jackson, of New
Haven. Conn. His record is 5000 miles
better than that of last years head
winner, Garth c. Jensen, who hung up
a mark of 21,985 miles, also with a
Cadillac, owned by John \. WeIsby. of
stevens Point, Wis. 1t is required that
contesting mileages be sworn to by the
owner of the car and also by the driver
where one is employed. Mathis won a
smaller prize with the same car in
last years contest, with a record of
IA. 400 miles.
The next highest mark in the con-
test Just closed was 25.64S miles, which
brought the $500 prize TO Charles V.
t1nfrock, of Dayton, Ohio. who drives
o Pierce-Arrow for Maurice Costello.
There were ten Cadillacs among the
more important of the 20S prize win
ners and eight of these Cadillacs ex-
ceeded 1000 miles, their average be-
inG 14,733 miles.
AS in last years contest, there was a
larger number of Cadillacs among the
winners than any other one make of
car.
Thus another year serves to en-
phasize the interesting feature which
was also developed last year, namely,
that the cars of lighter weight do not
show strongly among the highest mile
age records Seven of the winners of
the first eight prizes were drivers of
cars which are generally regarded as
the more substantial types, while only
one of the 800 prize winners was a
light car,

John N. WHY'S Reelected
Head of Overland Co.

The formal annual meeting of the
stockholders of the s-OVerland
Company was held at the big automo-
bile factory the other day, in confor-
nation with the new bylaws adopted
last fall which changed the fiscal year
from June 80 to December 81. Here
after the annual meeting will be held
the second Tuesday in May.
At this meeting the old officers
were reelected John n. Willys being
reelected president; II. r. Dunn, vice

sist of Messrs. John n. Willys, Fl. T.
Dunn. Isaac Kinsey, G. A. Earl, II. L.

One of the interesting features of the
meeting was the report of the sales
department which evidenced not only
very gratifying results for the past
| twelve months but also an excellent
prospect not only for the continuation
of very satisfactory business, but for
an increase-other things. being nor
mal-in line with the increase of the
past twelve months.
Overland shipments for the twelve
months ending April 80, 1916, were
1866 automobiles as against 5O,-
25S cars for the preceding twelve
months-an increase of ia per cent.
The largest single month of the
twelve prior to April 80. 1915, wit
messed shipment of 1871 cars as
against 1905 for the largest month
of the previous twelve
In face of the increase the WHY'S
| Overland Company had on hand on
May l, 1916, orders for 11,301 cars,
as against 4,527 on order last May l.
The foreign business, in spite of the
war. also has shown great increase
over year ago. Total exports, all
models, for the 1915 season, was 1881.
whereas up to May /, export sales to-
tailed 1867 cars. with untitled orders
