SHERLOCK HAD
NAUCHT ON HIM
Clever Work of Detectives Solves
"Great False Teeth
Mystery"
Thief GRABS POCKETVOOK
New York Sleuth Finds Jewels In
Awning Repalrers Pocket and
the Artificial Masticators In
an Ash Can.

New York.-Clever work on the part
Of Detective Sergeants Joseph Leonard
and Thomas Appel solved a robbery
which might otherwise have remained
on the record as the "great false teeth
mystery"
James X. Andrews, q banker, dis
covered that set of false teeth which
he recently installed did not function
with the celebrity promised by his den
fist. Mrs. Andrews started with them
to the dentist for adjustment.
Mrs. Andrews had the teeth in her
pocketbook along with SIS in bills.
AS she was leaving the apartment the
bell rang. Mrs. Andrews placed the
pocketbook on a nearby couch as a
maid opened the door and admitted
stranger, who announced that he
was there to repair an awning.
Mrs. Andrews went to an adjoining
room. but when she returned the pock-
etbook with the SIS and the artificial
masticators had disappeared. She tel
ephoned for the detectives.
Telephones for Detectives.
They responded with alacrity and
after listening to Mrs. Andrews story
of the vanishing of the false teeth,
resorted to the old Sherlock Holmes
system of deduction. Footprints on
the Persian rugs of the Andrews
apartment revealed that the awning
repairer had found it imperative to
/ al, of 20
another apartment in the house. There
they went.
Drawing his highly polished nickel
watch from his vest pocket, Detective
Leonard placed it against the awning
mans chest and, in a voice marked
for the profundity of its tone, said
"Aha What have we heref"
"Where?" asked the awning man, as
Stunning an air of nonchalance.
"There," replied the astute detect
i've, as he showed his hand in the avn.
ing mans coat pocket and drew forth
a handful of glittering jewelry.
The unexpected jewelry deepened
the mystery.
oh, Where Are the Teeth7
"But where's the false teeth?" asked
Detective Appel, who believes In fol
lowing every trail to the end.
Patience" replied Leonard. "let thu
magistrate find that out"
So the awning man, who later sale
he was Charles Langfelder of SO Wal
ton street, Brooklyn, was hailed before
Magistrate McQuade In the west sid'
court, where he denied all.
"Your Honor. we have a clue to thu
false teeth" said the detectives IL
chorus. "Hold him for few minutes
and Wen recover them"
They hurried back to the apartment
house, where they found the pocket
book and the teeth in an ash barrel
Langfelder was then held in $3.50
bail to await the action OF the gram
jury.
The detectives are still trying t
find the owner of the jewelry.

HOPE TO CLEAR SEA MYSTERY
Cuban Expedition Will Explore Wreck
of Spanish Ship on Which
$50 Died.

Miami, Fla.-Hope that the mystery
surrounding the loss Of the Spanish
steamer Valbanera with its crew and
passengers, totaling $50 persons, may
be cleared up soon has been revived
by reports that a Cuban expedition
will explore the wreck off Rebecca
shoals.
The American government, accord
ing to the report, has been asked for
permission to salvage the valuable
cargo Of wines and liquors and other
merchandise. No report of the find
ing of bodies from the Valbanera has
been verified. The theory in Havana
is that the vessel was cut in half when
it struck a reef, explaining why NO
lifeboats were launched.

MAPS BARREN COAST
American Explores Northern
Rim Of the Continent.
Harold Noice, Accompanied Only by
Eskimos, Making Way East
~ ward on Foot.

Seattle. Wash.-An American ex-
piorer, Harold Noice, formerly a men,
Der of Stefansson's party, is working
his way eastward on foot along the
route of the northern rim of the con-
tinent, according to word received
here. He expects to reach the Hud-
son Bay country and civilization some
time next summer.
Storker StorkersOn, formerly sec
party, who arrived here recently from
the far North, said that Noice, ac-
companied only by Eskimos, is pro-
ceeding slowly and mapping portions
of the coast lines as he goes. A
stretch of the coast line OF Victoria
Land, heretofore unmapped, is being
charted by him,
Noice may visit the interior of Vic
toria Land, which, according to all
reports, has never been explored by
white men. ALI explorers, traders
and trappers who have touched Vic
toria Land have journeyed along it's
shores only. Stefansson found the
tribe of "blond Eskimos" in the Vic
toria Land country.
Noice has no ship and but few sup
plies. He depends almost entirely
upon his gun for his living. Stefans-
son, his former chief. who is noted
amongeexplorers as being able to live
off the barren white lands of the
North, probably taught Noice how to
get about without carrying many sup
plies.
Noice's parents live in Seattle. The
explorer is young in years, having
graduated from a high school here
about eight years ago. He went North
in 1912 with Capt. Louis Lane on the
schooner Polar Bear. When Stefans
son bought the Polar Bear from Lane
N'oice shipped as a member of the
crew. Later, when Stefansson de-
cided to return to the outside world
Noice left the party and remained in
the North. His parents expect him tC
return to Seattle next year.

reason that might be advanced in sup
port of the war departments decision to
prevent all participation in parades I'M
til after the division is demobiized fol.
lowing the Boston parade is that such
participation in side attractions would
have tendency to detract from the
magnitude Of the real official welcome
of New England to the returning diyis-
ion. The Boston parade ought to be an
event such that it will stand out in the
history Of New England as luminous
beacon light. In order to make that
possible, all other efforts ought to be
subordinated to the one big event; ali
other communities should sink their own
desires and turn to with will TO make
the Boston event on April 25 the impos-
ing spectacle ii deserves to be. There
fore, let all the other communities ac-
cept the war departments decision with
good grace and give the soldiers the big
time in Boston.
