Good Work.
Rutland News.)

The formation of sheep breeders
organization in Windsor county is pro-
iected. Good work. Anything that
points to revival of the. sheep raising
industry is to be welcomed. Vermont
by ali rights should again come into
its own as the leading sheep breeding
state in the union. This doesn t neces-
sarily mean that Vermont should be
expected to raise the largest number
of sheep-but ii should raise the best
sheep in the world, and thousands of
flocks of them. The. organizing of these
county breeders societies is taken To
mean a growing interest in the indus
try, and it is encouraging.

street, which they say, has
been a factory for repainting and dis
guising stolen automobiles. The nine
cars found in process. of alteration were
all stolen, they believe. Their total
value is. about $4,000. The charge on
which Henry Banks, the proprietor, and
on the discovery of car purchased new
for $4,000 less than a month ago, said
to be owned by Alfred Sever, a silk
salesman, of 1903 Grand Concourse, the
Bronx Banks admitted buying the car
on Monday or $500, the detectives said.
The existence of shop for wholesale
trading in stolen cars was unsupported
by the police until yesterday afternoon,
according to their admission. Detec-
! tives of the automobile squad operat-
| ing in Brooklyn got trace of a car
which, while it looked different in color
and some other details, they suspected
of being the one stolen from Mr.. Sever
EThev questioned the driver, who told
them in apparent good faith that he
| had bought the machine from a gar
age in Eighteenth street Manhattan
and offered to take them to the place tC
verify the sale.
The detectives accepted the offer an6
had little trouble in getting Banks t,

and to describe the methods resorted TO
| He was charged with grand larceny ant
receiving stolen goods and his four me
chanics with acting in concert.

them the stolen cars were brought t.
the garage and secreted during the day

painters were set at work. Numbe
plates were changed, bumpers, removed
or installed as required by the equip
ment of the car, headlights replaced, tn
body reprinted, sin some eases engin
plumbers altered and license plate
changed.
The mechanics denied any knowledge
of criminal intent. saying they simpl,
did what Banks told them. The sus
pieion that the ears might have beer
stolen did not occur to them
