YOUTHFUL ROBBERS
PROMISE TO BEHAVE
-Four Boys Arrested for Theft Of
Numerous Articles

Four boys, ages 10, II. u and Z,
respectively, were in chambe 1hls
morning for the theft of merchandise
to the value of $50 from the Con-
necticut con1pany The boys are be
lieved to be the same ones who have
been entering the store-room Tor the
rast three or four months and steal
ing cakes, postage stamps ana money
Three of the boys admitted entering
the place at other times.
William Higgins testified that the
place had been entered last Sunday,
and some articles were missed. At
that time he asked the detective bu-
reau to take up the case. and as
result of their Investigations, the
boys were brought in.
The bows told Judge Meskill this
morning that they entered the place
by first having one of the smallest
of their number enter hole IN the
wall and unoosc the bolt on an outer
door, Once inside, the boys walked
down a: hallway until they came to
a hole in the floor. and through this
hole all four entered a subterranean
passa sc, seyenty-five feet in length.
At the end of this pa ssa geway they
emerged in. the store-room, and after
making a raid on the eatables re-
turned to the street via. the same
route.
The boys have not been in court
before, and because of this reason,
they were allowed to so with lee
tuTe.
On complaint of a. Barokowsli.
proprietor of a store at $50 Grove
street, three small boys aged about 1
years were arrested yesterday for tho
theft of IS worth of cigarettes and
some cash. One Of the boys, Larry
Laskowski was sent to the School for
Boys and the other two were lee
tured. Laskowski has been in court
on several other occasions, and be-
cause of his past record he was conf
mitted.
The cigarettes and money were
found in hole in Laskowski's cellar
where the trio hid their stolen ar
ticles on other occasions, it is said.

Rev. ". B. Johnson Completes
Tenth Voyage Overseas

On furlough from his tenth voyage
overseas, in the Y. NJ. G. A. transport
service. the Rev. William Brewer
Johnson is spending a few days with
his family, at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Walter of Lexington
street. His wife is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter.
The Rev. Johnson has had a num-
Der of hazardous trips through the
zone Of the submarines. He has been
sole 7. NJ. G.. a. representative on his
transports until the most recent voy-
age, and has had to adapt himself to
a variety of occupations, from ship
chaplain to a cheerful dispenser of
cigarettes.
The Great Northern was the first
ship on which he crossed. This made
a record voyage, and subsequently the
fastest round-trip on transport record
time, accomplishing the feat in IS
days and hours. He was assigned
to the ''Antigone' and later trans
ferred to the "Siboney.'
These transports carried on the
average of $500 soldiers to France,
until the conclusion of the war. They
returned on the homeward route
with wounded soldiers. suffering from
shell shock, slarapnel wounds and gas.
On the most recent trip, 5000 SOL
diers were returning to their home
states, 1900 Of whom had been
wounded. Joseph A. Ko1osky. who
enlisted from New Britain, was one of
these hospital PATIENTS
The boys were a, happy, spirited
American crowd as they crossed over
seas and showed the effects of the
war strain in their occasional lack Of
good nature ON the return trip. Boy
like, they were particularly apprecia-
tive Of the Y. M G.. A services in the
department. OF the eats and were

EN-SoIdicr Says: Take Me Out If
You CAM; Sergeant john
son Could.

SUI AouIu-
Judge James T. Meskill imposed
fine Of IS and costs upon Charles
Phillips, an ex-soldier, in police court
this morning. Phillips was arrested
in a Lafayette street coffee house last
night by Detective Sergeant Johnson
upon complaint of Harry Feingold
and charged with assault.
Feingold claimed that Phillips
came into his store on Lafayette street
last night to purchase a pair of socks
and, upon receiving the socks, hit the
salesman. After several futile at
tempts to hit Feingold, the latter
says, friends brought him across the
street to a coffee house, and Sergeant
Johnson was notified. When the SER
geant went into the coffee house to
make the arrest, he was told by Phil
lips to take him out if he could He
did.
Phillips denied going into the store
to purchase socks and also denied
hitting Feingold. He said that he was
walking by the store and Feingold
came to the door and shouted Hep
hep -hep-hep.' When Phillips OBJ
jected, he said, he was arrested.
Frank Chillicki, aged 10. sat out g.

evening and argued with the girl sit
ting next to him. AS a, result of the
argument he was in court this morn
ing on a charge OF breach of the peace
and a fine of SO and costs was i'm =
posed. The Misses Emily and Jessie
Manut appeared against Cl1iIIicki.
Chillicki said that he was talking
about church to the young lady and
she took offense. When he told her
that she was in the country only two
months, she called him vile names,
he said, and he retaliated with some
harsh words.

forty per cent. of its paper strength
of 100000 and it's military value is
decreased by the doubtful loyalty of
some of the high officers and the fact
that hundreds of recruits were forci-
bly, conscripted.
OF the rebel factions, of which
there are said to be seven opposing
Carranza, Villa is reported to be the
strongest. The Villistas are conserva-
lively estimated to number 10000
equipped with fairly modern arms
including cannon up to 10o milli-
metres in caliber.
So serious is the condition face !
by President Carranza that he is
said to be bending every effort to
secure the direct support of the
United States in maintaining his
power. This, according to officials
here, accounts for the ease with
which the Juarez incident was
closed.
One of the principal purposes OF
the recent visit to Washington OF
General Candido Aguilar. son-in- law
of the president, and a menbcr OF
his cabinet, it is declared, was to
secure this support by the United
States. General Aguilar was author
lied, according to reports to settle
the oil question and other matters
that have caused friction between
the two countries.
