Latest Raid Failed
To Impress London
Germans Spoiled Theatre Per-
formances, but Otherwise
Effect Was Slight

LONDON, Wednesday, Dec. l9.-Last
nights air raid made less impression
upon London's morale than any OF its
predecessors and the casualties were
small, in view Of the fact that the
Gothas came just at the time the peo-
pie were on their way home from shop
and office. The material damage was
slighter. too, than in some less preten-
tious attempts Of the Germans As
rule the raiders bombs fell in places
where little damage could be done,
while only one fire was observed and
that died down as quickly as 1t hared
up. Outside London most Of the bombs
fell in open spaces.
The visit of the Germans was uneX-
pected. IL was thought that perhaps
the raiders reckoned upon the help OF
light reflected from the snow which lies
in a thin coating upon the raided area.
One effect of the raid was to spoil
the theatre performances. Al some OF
the theatres the play could not be given
because Of the actors being held up on
their way 20 the playhouse. Others
were able TO start their performance
and 90 through with their bills, but
played to sparse houses. After the raid
some Of the theatre managements we're
busy for some time with refundln6
money TO disappointed patrons.

Burglar Makes Rich
Haul in New Rochelle
Mysterious "Two-Claw Jimmy
Man" Works While Vic
tins Entertain

NEW ROCHELLE, Dec. 20. - The
Two Claw Jimmy Man" made his
rounds last night while most of New
Rochelle was at clubs or halls enter
tanning soldiers. He entered half a
dozen houses within the radius Of half
mile and got away with Si,lOO worth
Of plunder. all in jewelry.
The police call him the "Two-ClaV'
Jimmy Man" because the powerful lit
tie lever with which he forced windows
had a two-clswed foot Ike the butt Of
a tack hammer.
Marks left behind him indicated that
he was habitually neat, had discrimi-
mating taste and not the slightest re-
gard for patriotism. Also he wore new
rubbers. as Mrs. J. Edward Lynn dis
covered when she returned to her home
at SO Dewey Avenue. Their imprint
was plainly TO be seen on the stairs.
His "haul" at the Lynns consisted Of
5000 worth Of jewclry.
At 81 Dewey Avenue, Alfred ". PEN
dorf lost 500 worth Of jevelry.
In the home of Harry Loughran, on
Hillcrest Avenue, the burglar found
$500 worth of jewelry that suited him.
His bag was S400 worth of jewelry at
the home Of William II. Hilts in Hal
cyon Park. II was o'clock when he
made his first mistake, jimmying 4 win
dow in the home Of william II. Mat
thews in Beechmont before Mr.. Mat
thews had gone out. Mr.. Matthews
heard noise downstairs and caught a
brief glimpse of the burglar as he
jumped out winow, but he didn't
catch the burglar.

Place Dispels
Hopes of Ending
West Side Snarl
His Testimony Indicates
That Ottinger Law Will
Not Solve Problem

Many important points OF difference
between the city and the New York
Central in regard 70 q settlement Of
the West Side Improvement problem
were discussed yesterday By IRA A..
Place, vice-president of the railroad
company. who continued his testimony
before the investigating commission
appointed by Governor Whitman. Mr..
Place made IL clear that it would be
practically impossible for any agree
mcnt 10 be reached under the Ottinger
law. or the proposals Of the joint COM
mittee OF the Board OF Estimate and
the Public Service Commission, which
has jurisdiction under that law.
A. TO the recommendation that the
railroad pay rent 90 the city for all
city-owned land used By il on the West
Side, Mr. Place said the company
claimed permanent ownership Of its
right of way in its present location
and OF its franchise. and could not be
expected 20 move 20 rented ground.
The question as 20 what body had
authority over the railroad company 5
rights was discussed from arious an
giles. Mr.. Place said the city had GER
tain regulatory rights, but that the
state solely had power over fundamen.
tai rights. Pursuant % an opinion ot
former Judge Edgar W. Cullen. Of the
Court Of Appeals. Mr.. Place said the
state could amend charter TO a point
that did not amount 10 coniiscation.
The witness declared that the railroad
company's right OF way was well cstab-
lished.
Mr.. Place declared that no correc-
tion Of grade crossings would correct
existing West side conditions, as the
whole work would have 70 be rebuilt.
Members Of the commission sug-
cested the building of terminal facili-
tics. jointly operated by various rail-
roads or by the New York Central.
with the proviso that the New Jersey
roads be allowed to use the Central's
tracks under certain terms. Mr.. Place
said there would be no objection, pro-
vided All needs Of the New York Gem
tral were sufficiently provided for.
Mr.. Place said an elevated railroad
WAS preferable TO a subway south Of
Fifty-ninth Street. 4 subway, he said,
would be Of no value. as the company
would have TO keep pumping out water
all the time and because many kinds
OF freight could not be handled. He
