Mrs. Hattie Il. 8, held in $40 600
bail as a material witness against Her.
man Crause and Peter Rueger, police
men, charged with series of
burglaries in Manhattan and Brook
lyn, changed her mind and testified
yesterday before the special grand jury
in the Kings County Courthouse.
Yesterday morning sne was infexible
in her resolution not to talk except in
the presence Of her lawyer who could
not under the law be admitted to the
grand jury room. District Attorney
Lewis was convinced that her testimony
was of first Importance. He warned
her that if she persisted in refusing to
answer questions she could be
panishcd for contempt Of court, and
she therefore agreed to testify.
What she said will be Of great i'm
portance to the prosecution" Mr..
Lewis said.
Mrs Kane is thirty-three years old
and good looking. When she entered
the District Attorneys office she was
stylishly dressed. According to MIR.
Lewis. she was educated at the Manual
Training HIGH School and is of q we'll
to-do Brooklyn family. 1t was rumored
that she had been schoolmate of
Captain John D. Cou~hlin, of the Sixth
Branch Detective Bureau. who was in
strumental in causing the arrest of t. G
accused policemen. This the captain
denied.
Awaiting Arrest of Two
The District Attorney is still await
ing the arrest of two persons named
in the indictment handed up by the
grand jury Thursday. One OF these is
said to have been the master mind
W O plotted the series of robberies in
which the policemen are alleged to
nave ben involved.
Mr.. Lewis would not say whether he
expected that more policemen would
be arrested
Another fur robbery, reminiscent OF
The looting Of the Starobin g. Dublin
pant, in connection with which the
policemen were accused, was disc osed
by the Fur Dyers' Association. Tues
day squirrel skins valued at S45,-
he wagon of Nlifkin, Fine & Co., fur
dyers, Of 402 Metropolitan Avenue,
Brook yn.
The wagon was returning from q
trip to Manhattan nth the furs in
cases. When the driver arrived at the
Mifkin-Fine plant he left his seat and
prepared to unload. TO his surprise
the load had disappeared. A diigent
search of the route from Manhattan
failed to disclose any squirrel skins
and the po ice were notified No arrests
it was said, had been made and The
skins were not recovered
Trailing Another Theft
District Attorney Lewis said that
he was on the trail Of still another
fur robbery in Brook yn almost as large
as the Starobin d. Dublin case.
Burg ars early yesterday entered the
store Of the Renard Company in the
bryant Park Building, Al West Forty
second Street. and carried off women's

Dixie and Merchants and Miners
steams shir lines report thay have pre-.
pared to transport 100000 ballons of
VIII sky from Norfolk and Baltimore
Freight steamships with cargo space
for that amount have been reserved for
liquor shipments, but this will take
care or only a small part Of the cargo
space desired. Arrangements have been
made with railway officials they added.
to facilitate the movement of liquor to
the two ports mentioned.
Great Demand for Space
At the Offices of the Munson Line,
wh'cN oreratcs t"irty-one steameh ps
in the Cuban service, it is stated that
enough inquiries in regard to liquor
shipments have been received to equal
six times its total cargo capacity dur
ing the next month. Virtually no
liquor shipments are being accepted,
however, because most Of the cargo
space has been contracted for general
merchandise.
Freight managers of the Red Star
and other European lines al report
that they have been besieged with in
quiries from exporters, but that only a
comparatively small amount of cargo
space has been contracted for because
of the uncertainty in being able to
transport the liquors here in time for
export.
Complications have arisen, they ex-
planned beo"use of the op'rtd rulin~
of Daniel G. Roper, Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, that all liquor must
be on a ship and actually out of the
country by January 16. The general
under tanding amNng insurance men
and others. they said, is that cargo
actually has begun its voyage when it
is loaded on a ship. In view of Mr.
Roper's reported ruling, some of the
companies have limited allotment of
cargo space to those exporters who can
get their shipments here in time to be
AIDED on ships sailing on or before

SERVICE
AerOplane Delivery of Republic Parts
Speaks Well for Republic Service.

That Republic dealers around the
country are alive to the opportunities
and are firm believers in Republic
Service" was shown Tuesday, when
W. b. Rayburn of the Republic Truck
Sales company Of Grand Rapids came
to this city by aeroplane for parts
needed for a truck in that city, saw
ing several hours that would have
been used had the shipment of parts
been made by express.
Mr. Rayburn had a hurry-up job
on his hands, which required few
parts which he did not have in stock.
in ten minutes or less he had, by the
use of a telephone located an aero
plane that was not then engaged
and a few minutes later, after having
donned a heavy overcoat, to protect
himself from the cold, Mr.. Rayburr
was ready for a flight to Alma TO the
Republic factories for the parts that
were needed.
The fight to Alma was made il
little over an hour the aeroplane ar
irving here about 11:30 Tuesday a
m. 1t made landing on field neal
the plant, and Mr.. Rayburn prompt!
went to the factory, secured the part
that he needed, and after stopping
just long enough to hear the compli

made his way back to the aeroplane
and before 1900 o'clock the aero
plane had again taken the air an
headed back for Grand Rapids.
The entire trip was made in les

to make the trip one way, and be
fore mid-afternoon Tuesday the part
