Three TROLLEY
CONDUCTORS Get
JAIL SENTENCES

Substantial punishment was in
fiicted by Judge John r. Booth in the
Criminal Court of Common Pleas to-
Connecticut Co., who pleaded guilty
to embezzlement of fares. They were
Ernest Bocchio and Walter Gemsy,
who were sentenced to the Reforma-
tory by the City Court, and Abraham
Pelt, charged with two offenses. All
pleaded guilty but appealed from the
City Court sentences.
Judge Booth after hearing the
statements of Prosecutor Harry NJ.
Huxford, and Attorney R. G. DeFor-
est for the Connecticut Co, imposed
jail sentences of so days in each case.
In the cases of Bocchio and Gemsy
their extreme youth pleaded for them;
They are only IS years of age, and
their labor is needed for the support
of their families. 1t was their first
offense they had worked for the COM
pany but short time, and their ex-
cuse was "They are all doing it," a
statement confirmed to some extent
by Attorney DeForest.
Pelt is older, and admitted he had
taken more than SIS on one trip to
Norwa1k. He was charged with two
separate offenses, but had been en-
ployed by the company for 10 months,
and is believed to have held out more
than the $12 alleged in the COM
plants. Leniency was shown because
he is the sole support of widowed
mother.

CREEK TRAITORS
SENTENCED And
EXECUTED TODAY

Athens, Saturday, March 80 -
Lieuts. Calamaras and Hodjopolos,
who came to Greece recently on a
German submarine as agents of
former King Constntine were con-
demned to death by a court martial
and the sentence was carried out to-
day. Their lawyer, M. Conoupis, also
received the death sentence.
The officers, after receiving in
structions in Zurich, Berlin and
Vienna, came to Greece in an enemy
submarine from Pola with a letter
from the former King Constantine
and plans to arrange a system of es-
pionage and to establish a naval base.
Conoupis was intermediary in the mat
ter. A sister of Lieut.. Calamaras was
sentenced to life imprisonment and a
peasant was given Is years for har-
boring the leutenants.
A royal court martial has been di-
reSted to prosecute Capt. Paparrigop-
oulos, former aide de camp to King
Constantine, who is said to have ar
ranged for the visit of the lieuten-
ants and Kolydes Calipschiefts, who
also participated in their plans.

The fugitive ran down Broad street
toward Elm street, followed by shots
from Detective Malone's revolver, the
second shot tore through the lower
left arm of the suspected thief, who
continued to run, finally seeking
refuge in the REQ Garage on Elm
street where he was recaptured.
1t is said that when he was cap
tured for the second time he fought
like wild cat, although wounded and
it was with difficulty that he was re-
strained from using a gun which it is
said he carried in his pocket.
According to Detective Captain E.
o. Cronan, the capture is one of the
most important that has been made in
Bridgeport for a long time and the
police believe that with GreIl in Gus
tody they have one of the most des-
perate criminals in New England. 1t
is also thought by the police that they
have captured none other than the
leader of one of the most expert and
daring bands of burglars who are re-
sponstble for a large number of rob-

Frederick Bollman, editor of a Ger
man paper and numerous others were
made to publicly show evidence of
their patriotism.
More than 100 steel mill employees
took William Zerbe, one of their num-
Der, to the public square in Canton
and forced him to salute and kiss the
colors after alleged unpatriotic re-
marks.
Three hundred persons in 60 auto
mobiles visited 80 homes of alleged
pro-Germans in the Coschocton neigh
borhood and compelled heads of fami-
lies to denounce the Kaiser and to
salute and kiss the flag. Doors were
broken in at several home and fire
company was called to aid in getting
one family out. A patrol car of po-
lice officers tried unsuccessfully tc
break up the mob.
At a meeting last night the Colum-
bus board of education ordered teach.
ing of German in all city schools tc
be stopped at once.

The latter was a much better piece
of work on the part of the thieves, for
besides getting away with 500 they
did not do the damage which resulted
from the force of the explosions last
night.
Entrance to the laundry was effect
ed by using a skeleton key on the
side door. The thieves were appar-
emily. in no hurry with their work of
blowing the safe which is situated in
the office on the second floor, with its
back against the front window. Tools
of the finest kind were used by the
"yeggs," the kit which they left be-
hind being of a most elaborate ma
ture.
| Wet clothes were brought from the
tubs in the workroom and piled upon
and around the safe to deaden the
sound. Fine linen, silks and satlns
were destroyed by the force of the
first explosion which failed to break
the heavily armored doors of the safe.
More had to be procured to pile about
the massive steel structure when the
second and heavier charge was de-
tonated.
Gloves were worn by the thieves
throughout their work so that the fin
gerprint expert from rplice headquar-
ters could find no trace of finger
prints today when he"maide one of the
closest examinations. The "yeggs
were also connoisseurs of tobacco be-
cause they smoked cigars and cigar
cites of an expensive brand.
| So careful were the cracksmen II
their work that not a sound was heard
although there is a two family house
adjoining the laundry on the south
side, Another thing which puzzles the
police is that although the office is
situated in the front of the building
facing Madison avenue, no one ap'
pears to have seen a light and from
the appearance of things this morning
it is a surety the thieves worked witt
the lights turned on full.
The fact that the safe has its bacl
to the window was taken full adVan
tage of by the thieves, although the
police say 1t would have made no diff
ference If it was located elsewhere, a.
the window is too high up for any
one on the street to see what was be
ing done in the office.
Apparently the "Yeggmen" depend
ed upon the fact that the laundryme1
make large collections Monday, anC
expected to make a rich haul. Fortu
nately the large sum of money takel
in Saturday and Monday was banked
before closing time Monday and onl.
500 and a number of checks were il
the safe at the time of the robbery.

DAMAGE OF $500 IN

in a barn used by Henry Clampett, as
a storehouse for wagons at the rear

by the firemen confined the flames to
the roof of the structure. The loss is
estimated at $500.
Sparks from a bonfire made by
boys were carried by the wind to the

Soldiers Will Be Mixed

French Units.
WILL DOUBLE MAN
POWER DELIVERY
Americans Will Replace
Men Lost in Armies
of Our Allies.

Washington, April 2 - An
neHncement from London that
American army units are to be
brigaded with British and
French organizations was in
terpreted by army officers here
today as indicating the United
States government is ready to
thrust aside all question of
national pride in placing Amer
lean man power at the imme-
diate disposal of the Allies.
The plan was decided on at confer
ences by Secretary Baker and Gems.
Bliss and Pershing and British and
French officials.
Details of the method to be fol-
lowed presumably will be arranged
by Gen. Pershing. There was every
indication that American troops now
in training here are to be rushed
across regardless of their proficiency.
The British statement carefully
notes that the national aspect of Gen.
Pershings army is not to be impaired.
The building up of that purely Amer
lean war machine will proceed as rap
idly as possible. To supplement that
effort, however, other American units
will be fed to the front through the
French and British lines to meet the
present emergency
Arrangements for the transporta-
ton of these additional forces" the
British statement said "are now be-
ing completed"
This was regarded here as an indi-
cation that the full extent Of British
troop ship capacity is to be devoted
to taking forward American units and
