OLSEN CHARGED
WITH THEFT HAS
CASE CONTINUED

George Olson, of Scofield avenue,
who was arrested charged with the
theft of automobile robes was arraign-
ed before the City Court today and his
case ordered continued until next Sat
urday.
1t was thought that when Officer
Brolley arrested Olson that he was re-
sponsible for the theft of two valuable
auto robes from the machine owned
by Miss Euphrosyne L. Bown, princi-
pal of the Grand Street school, and
who resides at 1877 Pequonnock street,
but when the robes were shown to
Miss Bown for identification she de-
clared they were not the ones which
were missing from her car.
The case has taken a peculiar turn
owing to the fact that Miss Bown at
tended st. Augustine's church on
Tuesday night, leaving her machine in
front of the dooor. While she was
inside the church the lights on the car
went out SO that when she left the edi-
fee she did not notice the machine
and walked home.
Officer BIplley came along short
while afterward and noticed Olson
wrapping up two automobile robes on
the sidewalk a little distance from the
machine and he arrested him when
he failed to elicit a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION from the man.
In the meantime Miss Bown ar
rived home and remembered her car
and reported the matter to the police
who promptly turned over the ma
chine to her. Then she reported the
loss of the lap robes and the officials
felt sure that Olson was the thief, but
when the rugs were shown to Miss
Bown, she declared they were not the
ones which had been stolen from her

THIEF POSES AS
u. L co. EMPLOYE

Jewefry valued at $1,000 was stolen
from the home of Joseph b Solmano-
witt, 1854 Fairfield avenue, yester-
day afternoon presumably by a man
who represented himself as an en-
ploye of the United Illuminating Co.
According to Solmanowitz, the man
described appeared at the door of his
home, telling his wife that he was an
employee of the United Illuminating
Co. and that he had been sent there
to make repairs. The repairs he was
supposed to make were in the bed
room. He required a screw driver
and one of the family left the room
to get it. It was during this period
that he succeeded in lifting two dia-
mond rings, a pair of diamond ear
rings, a lady's COLA watch and a silk
fob. The police are investigating the
matter.

DISAPPOINTMENT
OF new Rates
ASKED BY COMM.

Washington, June 6---Postponement
Of the new freight and passenger
rates, or modification to remove in,
justices and determinations that
threaten many shippers and industries
with Commercial annihilation' was
urged on Director General McAdoo
today by a delegation of the National
Association of Railway and Utilities
Commissioners.
To put the new rates into effect
without revisions would imperil and
endanger the national economic SOL
idarity and bring additional hazards
in the conduct of the war, said a pc
tition presented by the delegation.
Mr.. McAdoo was asked either to make
state commissions his agents in bring
ing about necessary adjustments in
rates or to require railroads to sub
nit to the authority exercised by
state commissions before government
operation started in matters of rate
and police regulations.

STOREKEEPER is
FINED IN COURT

Peter Consistency, the proprietor of
a candy store at 1872 Main street,
who assaulted Henry Steassen, an ice
man with whom he had an argument
yesterday, was today fined $25 by
Judge Widen when he was arraigned
before the city court.
In the melee that followed the ar
gument it appears that Consistency
had the better of the affair, for Steas-
sen had to be treated at the Elmer
gency Hospital for his injuries.
