Police Arrest Two
AS Auto Thieves
They Say Men Took Stolen
Cars Apart and Disposed
Of Sections

Two men, who are said by the police
to be troublesome automobile thieves,
have finally been run down and caught
with the goods, according to Assistant
District Attorney James NJ. Donohue.
The originality of their methods, the
District Attorney said, had resulted in
the permanent loss of scores Of cars.
When arrested the men gave their
names as James Blew, of 1913 West
177th Street, and Philip Strobel, of AS
toria, L. ]. Mr.. Donohue stated yes
terdsy that Blew had confessed.
The system. which proved successful
for so long for the men, was simply to
take the stolen cars to a garage, and
then take them down. The separate
parts were than sold to secondhand
dealers, garage owners and individuals.
The arrest Of Blew and Strobel came
through the suspicious of the owner OF
several shacks along the Harlem River,
who reported TO the police that two
men who had rented one of the shacks
as an automobile repair shop, seemed
to have plenty of automobile parts on
hand, but that he never saw whole
car enter or leave the place.
In the shack was the body OF car
in which was a road map bearing the
name Of Charles A. Hopfenssck, sales
manager for a Broadway motor con-
Germ. Mr.. Hopfensack identified the
tonneau as having been part of his
machine, which he had reported miss
ing.
Blew and Strobel were locked up at
the West 152d Street police station.

1000 Now Being Turned
Out Daily, 1t Is
Estimated
Two Guns to a Soldier
Machine Gun Situation Also
Progressing, Secretary
Declares
[Staf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The manu-
facture of rifles for the American army
is proceeding so rapidly. Secretary Of
War Baker announced to-day. that be-
fore the end of next month the short
age will have disappeared. Mr.. Baker
said he could not answer offhand ques-
tions as to how many rifles were being
turned out, although it is understood
that the number has about reached
1000 a day, in an ascending scale.
Asked how many rifles this allowed
to each soldier. Mr.. Baker said the es-
Inmates made early in the war, that
each soldier required five rifles. had
been demonstrated by experience
abroad to be absurdly high, especially
since so many men are using machine
guns. so many throw bombs and hand
grenades, while others are used in va
rious capacities which forbid their
also carrying rifles. Two rifles to the
man is the proper number now. he said.
As to machine guns, that situation,
he said, was progressing satisfactorily,
though not so we'll as the rife situa-
ton. He declined. for military rea-
sons, to give the proportion of ma
chine guns necessary to a given num-
Der of soldiers.

On the Screen
Alice Brady at Her Best as
Arlette in The Silent
Sacrifice"

Alice Brady's first select picture was
shown yesterday afternoon before an
invited gathering. 1t is called "Her
Silent Sacriice," which is perfectly
correct name for a screen drama. In
the spoken drama it was called "The
Red Mouse"
Alice Brady is Alice Brady with her
ready smile, her dimples and her gen.
erai wholesomeness but this part is
quite the best thing she has done. And
if she does impossible things it is the
fault of the situations and not the
fault of the actress.
Miss Brady is arlitte, native Of
Saveny, and those who love her call her
their little Breton wildhower." The
contemporary peasants call her witch,
but all the same she is a mighty attrac-
tive young person.
Two men discover this simultaneous
~. One. an artist, saves her kitten
from drowning, and the other, prince,
almost runs over her in his motor car.
The artist offers to paint her as
"Autumn's Daughter and if one may
Judge from the appearance Of the
model autumn's daughter must have
been a first cousin TO September
Morn" Only one thing was most pug
cling. The model was shown posed on
the edge of bank with her feet in the
water. Behind her, painting, stood the
artist. and vet after the pictures was
finished and hung in the gallery II pre-
sented front view Of Autumn's daugh-
ter. To yet this the artist must have
psinted IL from the middle of the lake.
However, the next morning when
Arlitte goes forth in the field TO pick
her costume which she wears in the
picture she finds the artist unconscious
from hunger. and then it is that the
horrid old prince offers TO make the
artist famous IL Arlitte will give him
the right 10 furnish her gowns and
pearl necklaces.
So Arlitte goes 70 Paris, but, as 10
/ the way with movie" heroines, she is
I dilatory about fulfilling her end Of the
bargain, and when the prince goes to
/ demand "the price Of fame" he gets
stabbed in the back.
By the young lady? Well, in a man
ner Of speaking, yes; and in manner
, q speaking, no. But IL all comes out
right in the end, excepting for the

Movie Shooting Gallery
One Can Bag Animals or Huns
in Strand Basement

Which would you prefer to shoot, .

Outdoor shooting indoors" or the
sign Of the bounding buck"
An exhibition of the new form of
sport was given in the basement OF the
Strand Theatre last night. All of the
unpleasant features attendant upon
the usual shooting galleries are elimi-
mated from the animated target in
stallstion.
The equipment is perfect and the in
structors are veterans of the United
States National Guard and regular
service.
The basement of the Strand has been
especially fitted up for the practice.
Everywhere one sees the sign of the
bounding buck A delft blue and ivory
one, extremely decorative but not es-
peeially natural looking. invites one
into the new gallery. Here one may
shoot at deer, moose, buffalo, wild
cattle, lions or. Huns as one prefers.
Every shot fired is accurately regis
tered by a spot Of light where the bull
let hits. The animal stops, staggers IN
his footsteps, but then he goes on
again, and you may shoot him all over
again, for he bears a charmed life.
No one is allowed to bag his game
merely TO shoot it.
The value of the motion picture as
a target has been recognized by army
officials, and in training recruits war
films may be used. The soldier stu
dents may then become snipers and
pop at the enemy soldiers. 1t will
doubtless lend considerable zest to the

Gently used methods of high finance
! similar to those which, it is alleged,
were used in promoting and advertising
the Army and Navy Bazaar at the
Grand Central Palace.
Several women who say they col
lected money for the benefit have told
Assistant District Attorney Kilroe that
they answered advertisements of this
firm, and when they called at the Offices
there were about seventy women apply
ing for positions as solicitors.
One woman told Mr.. Kilroe that many
Of the women were set at work immedi-
ately without an investigation, and. in
fact, without even leaving their names
and addresses. She said she was sure
that they collected money, because she
had no trouble herself in doing so. but
they never reported back to headquar-
tiers.
Old Employe Doing Well
Another informant, man, told Dis
trict Attorney Swami that after visiting
the prosecutors office on Friday to give
information on the subject of bazasrs
he met one of the leading advertising
statesmen in the country.
'In discussing the present situation"
said the informant. che told me that
he recently had met one of his former
statesmen. whom he had not seen for
some time, and found him to be the
picture of opulence. When | asked him
what he was doing he replied:
az have one of the softest CRAFTS in
the world am putting on charity
shows
"He went on 10 say that he had
cleaned up $4,000 from persons who
had given his sweet girl solicitors
money for tickets which they would not
take because they could not attend the
performances. He said there were other
sources of income, notably splits on
the contract price for advertising con-
tracts. etc.
Another Means of Graft
"The producer. he said, also watched
the box office and gate, and when the
prospect Of profit did not look rosy they
would fill in the unsold tickets with
duplicates to represent tickets paid for
and used at the gates"
The District Attorney said yesterday
that demand has been served on For
syth & Fisk, advertising solicitors, Of
200 Fifth Avenue, for about $4,000 Of
contributions collected for the charity
fair given by the fist Regiment in the
Hippodrome last September. Counsel
for Forsyth e. Fisk allege that their
contract with the regiments committee
entitled them to 20 per cent commits
sion on everything they took in while
promoting the benefit. A civil action
has been started in the Supreme Court
by the regiment TO recover.

CITY IS YELLED IN SMOKE
In Manchester, Industrial Heart Ct
England, Flaming Furnaces Roar
Night and Day.

Manchester is the Industrial heart
of England, the heart of the black,
smoky North, which is to the pleas
ant London south like foreign land.
Under Its veil Of fog and smoke, the
flaming furnaces Of Manchester roar
night and day, turning out steel and
shells. The Manchester district is
more impressive than anything of the
kind America can show, because II Is
more concentrated. 1t is as II nine
tenths Of the American steel business
were gathered into a single Pennsyl-
vania county.
Baedeker says that on clear day
you can see 600 giant factory stacks
at one time from hill near Manches-
ter. This statement has long been
suspected as the solitary bit of humor
In the 81 ponderous volumes of Bae-
deker. 1t may be true, but 1t has new
err been confirmed, because there are
no clear days in Manchester. When
all the 600 stacks are pouring forth
smoke and the fog steals down, II Is
dark ut noon. On good average day
you can see for several blocks, and
only few electric lights are neces-
sary. The trolleys will probably burn
their headlights, but that is force Of
habit on the part Of the motorman.

ORIGIN Of Order Of Odd EeIIows

Details Of the origin Of the indie
pendent order Of Odd Fellows are OBJ
scure and probably will always remain
so. From incidents attending the extern
sion Of Freemasonry In England, Amer
lea and elsewhere in the period be-
tween Its arrival, In 1717, and year
174O, and from similarity Of emblems
and to some extent mechanical arrange
ment OF ceremoninls some Investigators
believe that the order Of Odd Fellows
was an offshoot Of FreemQsonry. First
recorded lodge was In England In 1745.
Its membership consisted Of mechanics
and laborers. Provisions were made
for comfort and recreation Of members
and practices Of contributing to relief
Of needy and unfortunate brethren be-
gan early.--Exchange
