Earl v. Tuck, Professional Auto
Thief, Now in Jail.
Game Patterned After That of
Old Cattle Rustlers.
two FLIvVERS STOLEN HERE
Tuck Dresses as Gentleman and
Uses Good "SmOkeS."
Man Arrested With Him Said
To Be a Novice.

Earl " Tuck, self confessed pro-
fessional automobile thie-, is in the
county Jail facing a grand larceny
charge growing out of the theft of
Ford car from in front of the building
occupied by the Capper publications.
The theft occurred Tuesday and Tuck,
accompanied by Raymond Bracken-
burg. of Independence, Mo-, was ar
rested Wednesday by the sheriff at
Emporia. Tuck, alias Earl Vincent.
alias Earl v. Neff, alias Earl La Mont,
confessed to the robbery, according to
Sheriff Hugh Larimer.
Tuck, whose raids into Kansas are
similar to raids of old fashioned cattle
rustlers, is member of a gang living
in Kansas City, according to word re-
ceived from the chief of detectives
there by Larimer. He specialized in
the theft of Ford cars, Tuck told Lari-
mer, because they are SO common and
SO easily disposed of.
In addition to confessing to the rob-
berry Tuesday night, Tuck admitted he
stole a car belonging to C. E. .Seeley,
1901 McVicar avenue, on the night of
April IL. The car was stolen from in
front of the First Baptist church. He
| told Larimer he and his brother drove
| the machine to Joplin and sold it for
$685..
How Tuck Worked
Cattle rustlers changed brands on
cattle Tuck went to the office of the
| secretary of state and applied for a
| license to drive a Ford car, giving a
fictitious name and fictitious engine
| number. After stealing the car he
would change the engine number to
| the one given under the assumed d
name and also put on new tag. In
that manner suspicious purchasers
| could telephone to the office of the
| secretary of state and every statement
made by Tuck would be checked IN
to the satisfaction of the purchaser
Several such fictitious numbers have
| been taken out.
Tuck and Brackenburg told the
sheriff they came to Topeka Monday
and registered at the Sixth Avenue
| hotel. Monday and Tuesday nights
they loafed around the streets and
| finally on Tuesday night drove off
with the Ford car, circling around in
it for half an hour and finally driving
out Kansas avenue. They drove up a
lonely road a little out of the city and
| stopped the car. Leaving the car

With the British Armies in France
May 22.-More than 100 women
nurses, patients and attendants were
killed or wounded in a raid on a large
number of hospitals by German air
men.
In this, the latest Prussian air at
tack. a score of huge Gotha airplanes
circled over their objective where the
Red Cross was plainly visible, drop
ping a number of bombs of enormous
size to smash the buildings and a still
greater number of small shrapnel
bombs to kill nurses and wounded
The shrapnel was timed to burst al
the level of the ground. so as to in
sure the greatest possible destruction
of life.
British aviators and anti aircraf,
guns battled with the Hun squadron

L visited the scene of the bombing
today. Huts about the hospitals were
in splinters. One-haf of the entire
hospital. where the greatest death roll
was posted, had almost entirely disa D.

feet across and ten feet deep, where

quarters.
Crippled with shrapnel bomb frag-

tack told me they never had seen any
thing SO wonderful as the courage OF
the women during the raid, which be-
gan at 1920 p. m. and lasted for two
hours. Dugouts were provided fol
