Chief Had Hunch,
But Passed 1t Up;
Auto Thieves Busu

Never again will Hulet Smith. chief Of
detectives, according to his own vow
made Monday, pass up self-inflcted
hunch. BY doing so, when his own
inner self told him that three youths
who saluted him as he passed them
sunday afternoon were in two automo-
plies that had been stolen from Mem
PMS, he missed a good catch.
1t was busy time since Saturday
evening with local automobile thieves,
and complaints at the Central police
office. Sunday and Monday reports of
lost cars were unusually heavy. -Four
automobiles were stolen Sunday from
near Russwood Baseball park, where
they had been parked during the Mem
phis-Little Rock game
Some were recovered by the police
One had been stripped OF all things
movable and only the debris Of another
that had been consumed by fire was
found.
The touring car of Bennie Bryant, III
Bickford avenue, was stolen from
Fourth street and Vance avenue, before
dawn Saturday. A few hours later De-
tectives Williams and Bell, scouting for
stolen automobiles, found the car,
charred mass, three miles south of
Neshoba. No one could be located who
had seen the automobile while 1t was in
flames.
The automobile OF J. A. Crawford. $50
Linden avenue, stolen from Front street
and Court avenue. Saturday night, was
found at the Colonial club Sunday by
Policemen Oliver and Robinson Thieves
had stripped Ii Of all its tires and other
accessories that were movable.
Among the cars stolen from the base.
hall park Sunday were those of w, H.
McEroy, Oakville, Tenn, and r. +,
Osborn, Brunswick Tenn.
On his way from days trip to
Mississippi late Sunday afternoon, Hulet
Smith, chief of the detective bureau,
about 10 miles this side of fernando,
Miss observed two cars being driven
from Memphis. Two youths were in the
front car and one young man in the car
following. They waved greetings to the
chief OF detectives, who later said that
something told him all was not night.
But without any reason for stopping
the trio, he hesitated, although he
looked them all over keenly and took
the number of the automobiles.
When he arrived at the Centrol police
office he compared numbers and was
considerably chagrined at not following
his hunch, for II showed that the three
youths whom he had met were sailing
away with McEroy's and Osborn's cars.
Other automobiles reported stolen
Sunday and Monday belonged to John
Sewell, 1886 Decatur street, stolen from
the baseball park; NJ. Weinstein, 1903

park: l.. B. Mize, 618 Vance avenue.

The allies who have conquered Ger
many and imposed their peace terms
upon her, have now to separate Austria
Hungary into it's component racial parts,
deal with the Russo Polish problem, the
Russo Rumanian question. bring about
settlement so far as England Is con-
cerned, dispose of the tangled problem
of Constantinople and the shores of the
straits and impose peace terms upon
Bulgaria.
Not less difficult iF the task OF recon-
CLING the disputes between the separate
races on whom the several provinces
Of Austria are to be bestowed, accom-
modating the acute quarrel between
the, Southern Slavs and the Italians
and thus bringing little order and
calm out of the. great central chaos
the Aegean and from the Adriatic to
the Black seas. Until these things
are accomplished there can be no peace
in Europe and in the accomplishment
of temporary arrangement there may
be sown the seeds Of many fuutre
wars.
To begin at the beginning, there is
the Russian problem. 1t may be di-
vided into two equally important parts.
there is the question of Russia itself
and the question Of the various races
on the fringe of the old Russian state,
which are seeking lnuependence, union
with other fractions Of their own race
or who are seeking permanent separa-
tion from Russia, precisely as the Danes
the Poles and the people OF Alsace -Lor-
raine sought liberation from the Ger
man yoke
As to Russia herself what policy are
the allies to adopt? They cannot recog-
nize Lenine and the Reds, both be-
cause the things people represent are
abhorrent to all of the ideas OF west
tern civilization and because, unless
recognized by the outside world, they
will shortly collapse OF their own
weight.
But II there is TO be peace In Eu-
rope there must be peace in Russia
and TO obtain peace in Russia il Is es-
sential that the western powers should
find some substitute for the anarchy
and suicide OF the I.euine regime. APP
parently the allies are now placing their
hopes upon Kolchak but this decision
is arousing protest in Britain and
France, where Kolchak Is seen as re-
dictionary, and in neither country ia
there any desire to restore in Russia
the tyranny, of the old stupid and cor
rupt regime, which has gone.
Granted that Kolchak can overthrow
Lenine and Trotzky, however, this only

MAYOR TRIES TO
PUT POLITICS IN
TAX RATE ISSUE
Reply to Joint Tax Committee
Indicates Determination to
Make Biggest Raise Ever
Known in City's History.

Mayor Monteverde and Commission
ers Mason and Quinn have at last made
reply to the reports of the special tax
rate committee, which recommended
that the tax rate for this year be fixed
at not over Sc per 500 of assessed
value
As had been anticipated the official
statement indicates the determination
OF the city administration to pass the
ordinance as 1t stands, fixing the rate
at S2.2O, or a flat increase over the
rate last year of 40 cents on each 500
OF assessed valuation
The official statement fatty charges
That the members of the committee
were influenced by politics in the prep
aration Of their report This charge
had not been anticipated, for both on
account of the personnel of the sub
committee and the manner in which il
was appointed, 1t was known that no
political consideration would influence
the report.
Members of the subcommittee were
JJohn NJ. Dean, president of the Real
Estate association; c. c. Hanson, pres
ldent of the City club and head of the
Churchill congresses; D. B. Fargason,
OF the City club taxation committee,
wholesale grocer; W. H. Reid, Of the
chamber of Commerce, real estate
owner, and j. M. Goff, Of the Chamber
OF commerce, capitalist
