RETURN IA INDICTMENTS
WAR ON AUTO THEFTS


The thief that cOpped the flivver Of
Jas. P. Bicket from in front of 6211
University av. started something.
Bicket, who happens to be news edi-
tor of the Chicago American, also
started something; he opened up on
auto thieves with some. warm stories.
His stories reused the police and
States Atty Hoyne to activity
against the. auto thieves trust, and a
week-old campaign brought results
Yesterday, when indictments were
returned against fourteen accused
of knowing what becomes of hun
dreds Of stolen cars.
Three of those indicted wers
termed receivers" by the police.
They are, Mrs. Elvina Stiles, Walter
Evans and Louis Erb. Those ac>

R. D. Whitehead, L. A Whitehead,
w. E. Whitehead, Ed Tennigkite
Walter FUTniss, Roy Abbott, Walter
Relihan, Earl Dear, frankie Burns,
Bennie Kleiman and Jack AlimOny.
All denied their guilt. Especially
vigorous was Mrs. Stiles, wife of the
foreman of general delivery of the
postoffice. She declared that her
connection with the crowd was only
as a bOndsman.

and when the people of Connecticut
will join hands with Yale University
and its alumni in commemorating the
2OOth anniversary of the coming OF

take part. Francis Hartman Markoe,
who was associated with the corona

their teacheres and lecturers out

the grown-ups are taking advantage
more and more of these courses. Pros

SINGING EVANGELIST COMING
Lawrence B. Greenwood Who Carols as He Saves Souls, to Conduct Revival Meetings Here.

The Singing Evangelist" Lawrence B. Greenwood, who is coming to the Peoples church of this city to sing and preach in a series of revival meetings, is also Vaudeville Evan
 eelist'' But this does not mean that he makes religion spectacle, much less laugh. On the contrary, while MT. Greenwood is no long faced saint, and while in his methods he keeps as far as possible from the con- ventional and pietistic and cant features of some eVangelists, he is nevertheless very serious in his pur- pose. He believes that "piety'' is the Eappiest thing the world has ever dis covered, and he breaches and lives a happy, strong. attractive gospel of real help. Hc says: Men have enough burdens now. I do not come to add to them. I advise men to obey Christ when He says: Take by yoke upon you and learn of me- but I go on to show them that Ch~ist's yoke is easy. and His burden light Men want to know how to be rid of burdens. I tell them how.'
 Why. then. "The Vaudeville Evan gelist?" Well. the fact is he has rever been called that. But before his conversion, which took place in Boston University in bis early man. hood, he used to exercise his magnif- cent voice, which attracted attention while he was but lad, in giving songs and skits on the stage And the manner of that time has never left him, either in singing or speaking; he is a wonder as to his voice. He sirgs in the churches, in connection with the speaking, which few preachers can do; but he also sings out of doors, and in the shops and fire thouses, at the same time speak ing, in all sort of places and in all weather.
 A writer in the Haverhill Mass Gazette of last month says of MT. Greenwood's outdoor work, and the remarkable use of his voice under all sorts of conditions: "It is marvellous that MT. Greenwood can use his voice
 unsparingly in leading the singing in the afternoon and evening meetings in the churches, in singing solos, and
 in singing and speaking in noon meet ings at the shops, and in street meet ings in the evenings. and all apparent
 1y without effort and without harm to his voice.

MUST PROVIDE FOR
 lSO SCHOOL DAYS
Superintendent Holmes to Draw
 Up New Calendar

That it may be necessary to con- | tinue school into the summer next year in order to provide for the full
 l8O days of school as required by statute was brought to the attention
 of the school board at it's November meeting yesterday by Superintendent s. H. Holmes. Practically three weeks
 has been lost this fall by the High schools and two weeks by the grade schools through precautionary meas
 ures against the spread of infantile paralysis. The state requires 1S0 days of school, the penalty for failure being the loss of the per capita al- lowance. Superintendent Holmes was instructed to revise the school calen- dar with view to providing for the extra school days and submit it to the board at the next meeting.
 l Scout Plan Cropped.
 The plan of Rev. E. T. Thienes, scout commissioner to introduce the i Boy Scout movement into the public i schools, which was presented to the : school board last month, was dropped i after a report on the matter had 1 been presented by Superintendent 1 Holmes. In his report MT. Holmes 1 IdQ d SOOO WOTu to say TOT I1lo scout 1 movement, but felt that it's introduce l tiOn into the public schools would not be wise. The headquarters and anagement of the Boy Scouts is in i New York and it was felt that 1 should any conflict of authority de- i velop between the organization and 1 the school authorities it might cause l an unpleasant condition.
