War on Auto ThieUes NolU
 Being Conducted Here
Chief of Detectives Lyons Outlines Plans for Breaking Up Practice Here-No More Begging Off, Because of
 Offenders Youth-Federal Law Aids Capture

Chief c. J. Lyons of the Birmingham detective department. speaking yesterday of landing three more men whom he be- lieves are very much implicated in the automobile thefts that have been a puzzle and annoyance in the city for some months, said:
 "I'll smash that gang if it's the last thing l do. As far as Birmingham is concerned, automobile stealing is going to be the most unattractive stunt a rogue can do.''
 With the new federal law as weapon to use against the au.o rustiers, the chief is preparing his new cases for handling along federal lines. and will make the violation of tine federal law the basis of his prosecution.
 There will be no more settlements and crying off on account of tender years,' the detective chief continued, i've are going to bend every energy not only to stop the practice, but to secure such punishment for the guilty that they won't have another opportunity for a very long time
 Chief Lyons has been i'll constant com munication with large towns in radius of 800 miles about Birmingham. He has furnished descriptions and photographs. deductions and data so the detective and police forces of the nesghboring cities will have all the necessary information for getting the men suspected without delay.
 Not only has he gotten in touch with city and county authorities, but he has secured the cooperation Of auto dealers and garage men.
 In almost spontaneous response to his comprehensive campaign the authorities in Chattanooga were enabled recently to find and arrest three men suspected of stealing IT. Goldstein's Hudson super-siS, which disappeared from the curbing near the Bijou theatre last Fricay night
 The men arrested in Chattanooga are Jim Morgan, William Wynn and George Buchanan, all white and all in the yicin- ity of 20 years of age.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-03-02

Morgan was arrested on a similar charge some time ago, got hearing and got off light because of his youth. lie was released because he had not yet at tained his majority.
 Upon receipt of the news that his plans were working and the three people had been arrested, Chief Lyons went at once to the courthouse and before Judge IL. B. Abernethy. swore out warrants yester- day for the suspects with entailed bond in the sum of $2o00 each.
 w. F. Lee of the detective department left last night for Chattanooga to get the men, who were arrested there. They will be tried as soon as the case can be thoroughly prepared.
 These arrests make about score the detective department has engineered m the past few weeks. Chief Lyons and the officers working with him have been hot after the auto rustlers for weeks and they have made many arrests, and III nearly every instance secured conylc- tion.
 Of something like 1o0 cars, stolen in the Birmingham district this year, more than three-fourths of them have been recov- cred. and work is being continued to get back the others.
 It is the belief of the chief and his men that the gang that has been operatlng < neTe NdS DeeH COHSIucld141 iONNSSN from the hearings and trials Of iate " seems that no few of the recent arresss have been men who may not have oeeil affiliated with an organized gang, pus who, in groups of two or three, nave taken a shot at automobile stealing on their own hook.
 The federal law recently enacted con corning automobile stealing is of an in- terstate character, relieving the detec- tives of much of the old-time red tape that hampered work when acquisitions and other papers had to be secured These days all that is necessary is to be practically sure of the man, and arrest and extradition immediatiy follow.
 1t is the height of Chief Lyons amoi- ton to make an automobile thief In Bir- ,ningham the most unhappy man in the district

MISSION AT ST. PAUL'S

Father Maher Spoke Last Night on Good Gossip-Morning MassNIs

St. Pauls Mission drew good crowd to the mass at o'clock yesterday morning, despite the fact that the weather was below freezing and the hour of service much earlier than has been customary Father Clarke cele- brated mass and after mass gave in- struction on sorrow for sin. He point ed. out that the sorrow that pleases God must have reference to God. that sor- TOW for sin because sin causes tenn poral loss. loss of money or position or reptuation is of no value if such sorrow is the sole sorrow felt.
 He also declared that sorrow must be universal, that is, extending to all sins without exception: that it must be from the heart and from the lips merely that 1t must be above all sorrow. He declared that the sorrow that pleases

God is not sentimental or affective; that it Is an act of the will. a deter miration with Gods grace to avoid sin in future.
 The o'clock mass was attended by larger crowd, larger than the pas tor, Father Coyle or the missionaries, expected. seeing that many that would attend that waited for the funeral mass of requiem celebrated for Father White at o'clock. In consequence of that service the mission father who spoke along the same general lines as at the 6 o'clock mass cnrtailed his remarks.
 The principal mission sermon was at 1880 o'clock in the evening. when Father Maher was the preacher. His subject was Gossip" and he was fol- lowed with the closest attention as he showed the evils that flow from that common vice. The services closed with benedietion of the Blessed Sacrament.
 Father Coyle expresses himself highly pleased with the mission so far, which mission he believes will be one of the most successful ever given at St. Pauls.
