Confession Secured From Two
Accused Men With Aid OF
Detective Bureau

Local police have recovered the au-
tomobile of John Schaeffer, stolen from
his home at Schuylkill Haven on June

two men arrested for the theft.
This developed today at the hearing
of Gardner DeLong, relative of
Schaeffer, who lives on Juniper street
near Race, and Harry Hohert, twenty
one years old, 250s South Hicks street,
both of whom are accused of taking the
stolen car.
7: L. Dolan; state trooper. of
Troop G.. stationed at Pottsville, was
assigned to the case when the automo-
continuously.
On Saturday he obtained a clue which
led him to believe that DeLong might
know something of the theft. He came
to Philadelphia and reported the matter
to the detective bureau. Perry Jeffers,
a local automobile detective, was as
signed to the case.
Jeffers, accompanied by Dolan. who
knows nothing of Philadelphia streets
and addresses. located the car in q
garage on Twelfth street near Snyder
avenue and then arrested DeLong and
Hohert.
Jeffers and Dolan testified this morn
ing that the two men confessed to
Jeffers. They were turned over to Dolan
to be taken to Schuylkill county for
trial.
Both men. are mechanics and were
employed at Baldwin's. They are said
to have stolen dies there to, change the
car numbers. The men are not impli-
Gated in any other thefts, the detectives
say.
The detective bureau here was noti
fed at the time of the theft, but no in
formation tending to establish that the
machine was brought here was found,
so only the ordinary lookout for the
| stolen car was maintained.

formation to Facilitate Traffic
The state Highway Department has
announced list of tran Pennsylvania
highways connecting the more import
ant cities of the state. The informa :
tion was compiled principally for
manufacturers and others operating
trucks in the state, but the routes
named are those which will also enable
passenger automobile drivers to get
from point to point with the least pos
sible delay.
Between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia
there are two routes, the Lincoln and
the William Penn Highways.
..Detours on the Lincoln Highway will
be found at Ligonier, Westmoreland
county; Fayetteville. Franklin county
east of Berwick, York county, and east
Of York. Within few days a detour
will be found at Saluvia, Fulton
county.
On the William Penn Highway de-
tours will be found at Duncansville,
Huntingdon, near Lewistown, east OF
Mifflintown, east and west of Lebanon
and east of Reading. Because OF
construction between Harrisburg and
Clarks Ferry bridge through travellers

posite side of the river, which they will
reach at Harrisburg by crossing the
Market street bridge and at Clarks
Ferry bridge by crossing the Juniata
river to Juniatn bridge and Duncannon
On the New York extension of this

GOVERNOR WILL GO
T0CAP|TAL TONIGHT
SprouI, Now in New York, Plans
Trip to Harrisburg to
Sign Bills
WILL NAME REGISTRARS

Governor Sproul is in New York to-
day and leaves tonight for Harrisburg,
where a number of bills passed by the
Legislature await his signature.
The more important of the measures,
from the city's standpoint. are the
Daix Brady registration bill and the
Delaware river bridge bill.
When the Governor signs the regis
tration bill, abolishing the present
Board of Registration Commissioners, he
will announce the five members OF the
new board which the bill providcs. iie
made this purpose clear Saturday.
Bridge Bill Waits
The Delaware river bridge bill pro.
vides $3.50, 900 as Pennsylvania share
this year in the cost of starting work
on the big span. This bridge is to link
this city and Camden. New Jersey has
made $500 900 available for preliminary
work. This city must duplicate the
appropriation made by I>the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature.
Mr.. Sprouts signature making the
bridge bill law also will create
new bridge commission, composed OF
the Governor. the Mayor of Philadelphia
and the superintendent of the State De-
partment of Grounds and Buildings.
This commission will supplant a>com-
mission consisting of Mayor Smith, Al
fred e. Burk and John T. Windrim.
James Il. Lennon, president of Select
Council, is secretary of the old com
mission.
Other legislation which needs the
Governors signature includes election
bills and registration bills affecting the
entire state. One makes Tuesday, Sep
tember 16, primary day, setting back
the present primary by twenty four
hours.
Election Measures
Other bills waiting the Governor S
action is the Woodward voters inten-
ton bill and the one which prohibits
the moving of polling place unless
authorized by majority of the electors
in a voting precinct, or a division as it
is known in this city. The Woodward
voters intention" bill makes legal a
ballot with a mark in the general party
square and another mark for some par
ticular candidate.
Town Meeting party leaders say that
If there had been such a law on the
statute books at the last election their
party and their independent allies would
have beaten the regular Republican or
ganization. Thousands of ballots were
thrown out, they contend, because many
electors voted the Town Meeting ticket
and also made separate mark for Dis
trict Attorney Rotan who was running
! for re- election on the Republican ticket.
