WARNS GRABBED
OLD BACHELORS
Not to Disturb SpOOneTs on
New York Buses.

New CORRESPONDING by young
couples atop Fifth avenue buses was
officially recognized as legitimate
outdoor sport.
Sheriff David III. Knott, In a state
ment made. reply to an anonymous
correspondent who complained of the
practice, declared that 1t seemed to
him that "a man must be either a
grabbed old bachelor or one who has
been disappointed in love who will seek
to invoke official aid in putting an
end to heritage Of nature as old as
the world"
Certainly there is nothing clandes-
tine in spooning atop bus" he added.
my advice to men who cannot stand
the sight Of the loving meeting of
minds and eyes and in some cases lips,
on Fifth avenue bus, Is that they ride
in the subway A trip or two in the
rush hours there ought to cure them.
In the subway men and women, boys
and girls, thrown together indiscrimi-
nately, and even without the formality
of an introduction or acquaintance,
they are compelled to occupy about the
same proximity to each other that the
lovers do on buses, sometimes more.
The difference is that in the subway
this attention is forced upon them and,
instead of billing and cooling, one hears
pickering and cussing.
''Let the spooners spoon. They al
ways did, they always will. Why try
to awaken them from loves young
dream? I want to state that / must
refuse to designate deputies to stop
what you call nuisance. This state
ment by you represents only, think, a
conclusion, state of mind"

Youth Who Stole S772,OOO in
4 Bonds Captured.
ONLY $500 OF LOOT GONE
TELLS captor He Took Bonds Because
Salary Was Small and Raise Was
lDenied.

Bloomington, ILL., = William Dali
ton, 16-year-old bank clerk, who
stole $4,000 worth of Liberty bonds
in Chicago Thursday, an amount which
the police say is the largest bond theft
.on record. was caught in a poolroom
at Heyworth, near here.
All the bonds, except one for $500
that he used for expenses, were recov-
cred in a small leather bag that he had
tossed into a corner while lie played
as nonchalantly as if it contained old
clothes.
The boy said that taking the record
amount of bonds was simple matter,
but that escape was~not so easy. He
was taken for a ride by an autoist,
James Dennis, while trudging along the
road to HeyWorth heading in the gen
eral direction of 'the SOUTH but with
no definite plans for escape.
Dalton was held awaiting arrival
of bank officials from the Northern
Trust company, of Chicago, which he
Sobbed. These officials intimated be-
fore they left Chicago that on account
of the boys extreme youth they would
be inclined to forgive him and to give
him another chance.
The lad told how he tried to evade
the officers of the law by travelling In
automobiles, on foot, electric and steam
trains and busses, but was captured
largely through wide publication OF
his picture in Chicago newspapers
oh ,.oooha5 +I;es ie+r o+
He was recognized by the son of
constable Jack Draper, who made the
arrest and who probably will receive
the $4,000 reward offered for the
boys arrest and recovery of the
bonds.
Dalton was first suspected of being
,the bond thief by Dennis, with whom
he rode into Heyworth. Dennis re
ported his suspicion to Paul Draper,
son of the constable.
Dalton carried the bonds in a little
satchel, wherein he had secreted them
when he walked out of the bank on
Thursday for lunch, throughout his
flight until he reached Heywofth.
There his fondness for shooting pool
land billiards caused him to seek a
game with a stranger, and while the
two knocked the balls around, the
satche1, with its fortune, was left in a
corner where anyone might have pick
led it up and walked away had he
known of its contents.
When Constable Draper appeared
and called the youth by name, he adj
Imitted his identity.
The lad said he took the bonds on
the spur of the moment and was "sore
AT the bank because they had not pro-
imoted him as rapidly as he desired.

the bankers were partly to blame in
1.-THE case of the Ottawa, ILL.,, boy named
Gary who stole nearly 100000 said
Dalton "The judge said they should
have paid Cary more, and his case
seemed to fit me. I saw the chance
ito take the bonds and decided on the
1spur of the moment to try to get away
with them. 1t doesn't pay, however,
and I'm sorry. I'm sorry especially
for my mother and sisters. l don't
know what can do, now"
Dalton broke down and cried when
speaking of his mother, who Is a

Force of Workers at Trenton.
Trenton, Feb 29.-The Pennsylva-

isuspending approximately 300 en-
ployes, about so per cent of the total
working force of the car shops The
order, effective in five days, is one
of the most sweeping of its kind ever
recorded in local railroad annals and
affects every department of the shops.
The order is the result of the com
pany's policy of retrenchment and
carries loss of membership in the
railroad relief association, at least
temporarily. This phase of the situa-
tioE has caused deep dissatisfaction
