-Pershing Leaves
48 Flags in City
General Deeply Mored
by Emotion as He Bids
C0odby to New York

There was a suspicion Of moisture in
the eyes of General Pershing yester-
day morning when, with the cheers of
hundreds of railroad employees and COM
muters in his ears, he waved fare
we'll to the city whose guest he had
been for four days.
At o'clock the train CARRYING his
special car pulled out of the Pennsyl-
vania Station and the first lap of his
historic homecoming was at an end.
To-day he is the guest of the national
capital.
ii am leaving the City of New York,
which outdid itself in its hospitality to
me, with an appreciation that words
cannot describe" said the general as
he prepared to leave the hotel for his
train. 81 recall the scenes of the
Battle of st. Mihiel, just one year ago
to-day, with vivid clearness. The sue
cess of that battle was assured from
the first moment and made this pos
sible."
The wave of his hand indicated that
he referred to the victory pageant in
which New York just had participated
The forty eight flags that were Ipre-
sented to him at the victory dinner
Wednesday evening will remain in New
York, although General Pershing said
he wanted to continue to call them his
own.
II am going to leave the flags pre-
sented to me by Mr.. Wanamaker here
in New York" he said II will ask
that they be placed on display in the
rotunda Of the City Hall, or some other
appropriate place, to symbolic our vic
tory. But l want to retain title to
them, just to remember that I have
some personal interest here"
AS the train pulled out all the rail
road employees, commuters and passen-
gers in and about the waiting rooms
gathered about the gateway and
cheered until the steel roof of the sta
tion echoed and reechoed. The gen
eral was waving his hand as the train
pulled out of the sheds.

ington, but would not discuss future
plans. Tomorrow he will reestablish
headquarters of the American Expedi-
tionary Forces in the War Department.
There he and his staff will close up
the affairs of the greatest force for
overseas operations ever organized.
One future event on which General
Fershing's mind is fixed is visit to
his old home in Laclede, Missouri. He
has been swamped with invitations
from cities all over the country, but
has not yet formulated his plans. The
trip to Laclede is the one fixed event.
Would Be Boy Again
The general was asked what he
wished to do when he got to Laclede.
He hesitated moment, then:-
II would like" he said, "to have
everybody forget that l was ever any
thing but Missouri boy. I would
like to be as free as I was then"
The general was reminded that to-
day was the anniversary of the smash
ing Of the st. Mihiel salient. His eyes
lighted up and an old smile touched his
lips.
at is great contrast, to-day and a
year ago." he remarked.
"Did you know then that the war
would end as soon at it did," someone
asked.
81 hoped it would" General Per-
shlng replied, smiling.

State Hospital for the Insane here has

$l, 500 Gem for IS When
Lad Is Arrested and
$4,000 in Jewels Taken

Voices raised in commercial argu-
ment came to the ears Of Detective
Hemendnger as he was strolling
through the West End depot, Coney
Island, last night, and the glitter Of
something held between the thumb and
tracted his gaze.
Give dollars for this" the conductor
was saying scornfully. "Why, gosh,
kid, it amt even a good imitation!
III give you $4.25 and that's all"
But the imitation shone with won-
derfully clear blue light that made
Hemendinger grab the arm of the
youthful salesman, who straightway
turned pale and fought to break away
In the struggle the detectives arm
brushed against protuberancc.
"He's heeled," he grunted, and over
powered the lad. Then he dove for
the boys pistol pocket and withdrew a
pistol, which was chambered for moth
ing more harmful than caps.
"A fake" he announced "but this
isn't" he continued as he took a dia-
mond and platinum brooch worth ST.
500 from the hand of the scornful
conductor, who had just refused to
buy it for S5.
At Coney Island police station the
prisoner said he was Daniel Jackson,
eighteen years old. Of the Stanley
Hotel, 1924 West Forty seventh Street,
Manhattan. In his pockets we're found
two watches. a diamond and platinum
lavalliere and diamond stick pin. In
all, the jewels were worth more than
$4,000.
When first questioned the police
say Jackson said that they were his
mothers and that before she went out
to dinner last night she told him
to take them to Titfany's and have
them cleaned. Later, they say, he
broke down and admitted that he had
stolen them.
They are said to be the property Of
Dwight E. Austin, of 1914 Rugby Road,
Flatbush. Jackson ran away from his
home in the Bath Beach section sew
eral days ago, it was said last night

night, heading east Patrolman Daniel
Mandel, Of the Union Market police sta
ton, scrutinzed the vehicle without
appearing to give it a glance
Laden express trucks east bound
were rare in his experience in such
proximity to the East River. Moreover
there seemed to be surplus of men
attending this truck. One, presumably
the helper, sat beside the Khaki shirt
ed driver, two more were perched on
the tail-board and a fifth walked along

When the truck had passed him
Patrolman Mandel turned. apparently
without design, and sauntered eastward
through Tenth Street. He saw the ex-
press wagon swerve suddenly into
stable at 440 East Tenth Street. The
doors of the stable were slammed shut
as soon as the wagon was inside.
Mandel tugged gently at the doors.
They were locked. lie strolled uncon-

door that was ajar. drew his revolver

wagon was in the centre of the floor.
Eight men were unloading it in frantic
haste.
The patrolman stepped forward. his
revolver levelled. Five men who we're
on the far side of the truck darted
upstairs and, by the diminishing pound
ing of their footsteps and the slam of
scuttle. Mandel knew they had
reached the roof and dismissed them
from his calculations. The other three
we're directly under the muzzle OF his
revolver, their hands raised.
At headquarters they said they were
Richard Morrissey, of 224 East Fifty
fourth Street; Albert Kane, of 16O East
Fortieth Street. and Joseph Hoffman, of

Baker Denies /. o. o. f.
Was Ciuen Assurance
OF Parade Sept. IL
New YoM Tribune


WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Secrctary
Of War Baker to-day denied that as
surance had been given the lnde-
pendent Order of Odd Fellows that the
Pershing victory parade here would be
held on September 16 and that he
showed "bad faith" in changing the
date to September II, as charged in a
published statement to-day.
Secretary Baker said he had received
a message from the I. O. 0. F. asking
him to resign his office. He explained
that September 1G was tentatively set
for the parade here, but that later
September II was selected because the
extra day would provide more time for
preparation and because the Pennsyl-
vania Representatives in Congress had
expressed q desire to attend the pri-
maries on September 16 and also view
the parade.
1t was pointed out at the War De-
partment that all announcements con-
cerning the Washington parade issued
by the army had left the date of the
pageant indefinite until it was officially
decided to have the review on Sep
tembcr II.

yesterday for its series of welcomes to

thanks on behalf of the army were
expressed In a letter to Mayor Hylan,
reading as follows:
with the return Of the 1st Divi-
sion and the conclusion of the great
parade headed by General Pershine
the homecoming of our troops is al
most completed. The comparatively
small number of troops that still re-
main in Europe will return in smaller
| contingents and at irregular intervals
as their duties abroad are completed.
New York City has been the great
gateway of the nation through which
mas poured both the outgoing and in
coming tide OF our soldiers, and the
position Of the City of New York has
thus been unique, in that it was called
upon to welcome and to provide for
many hundreds Of thousands of troops.
the majority of whom hailed from dis
tant states.
Mayors Committee Commended
This patriotic duty has been fully
met, in most excellent way. The
Mayors Committee of Welcome, headed
by Mr.. Rodman Wanamaker, has been
an extremely useful agency in convey
ing to our Homecoming soldiers the
first intmation Of the generous and
genuine welcome which they have uni
formly received. AT all hours and in
all sorts Of weather | have seen boats
carrying faithful workers of the COM
mittee go down the bay, with colors
flying and bands playing, to cheer our
incoming soldiers and to distribute
creature comforts among them.
