dreds of concerns from which we
take the major part Of their out

firms who sell the greater part of
their output $ to the suppliers
from whom we buy. Sc, when
we pull the switches in the Ford
plant, and stop our machinery,
the same thing happens in thous-
sands of smaller plants the conn

YOU stand dominoes close together
in row-if you knock over the
first one, the whole line falls.
As long as we kept on buying,
these plants would continue to
hold prices up. Some of them
did cut, but, on the part of most
of them, we felt, it vas only
bluff to make it appear that
they had reached the low basic
price for peace times.
"We saw that if the lowering
process was to be FASTENED at all.
We must do something deastic.
So, late in December, we closed
down, resolved not to resume
production until we could buy
materials at peace time prices

thorough housecleaning. We
thought IS would require but two

Thief Turns On Water
When Safe Proves Empty
Peevish Burglar Regains His
Spirits, However, When He
Gets Cash ON lower Floor

That peevish burglar who worked off
a crouch in the middle of the night at
S5 John Street, two months ago, called
again early yesterday morning, pre-
sumably to get rid of another, for on
his previous visit he must have learned
that little profit would be found there.
The tenants keep their money in the
bank
The other time the burglar showed
his mean disposition by tearing Office
records into small bits, and scattering
them over the floor in the fashion of
stage snowstorm. Yesterday, after
neatly clipping off the combination
lock on safe in the Office of the Auto
Sundries Company and finding little
except a fountain pen and soma oil
stocks that he could not use, the burg
lar took his revenge by fitting stopper
into bowl and then turning on the
water.
This Office was on the top floor, so
that the water, overfowing the bowl,
and files that the burglar had spread
over the floor, but gradually soaked
through and damaged furniture and
books on the premises of the American
Stamp Manufacturing Company, just
below.
1t was assumed in the building yes
terday, by persons interested in the
mental processes of the burglar, that
he began working at the top, and in
DESCRIBING lost part of his crouch, be-
cause be did get few hundred dol
lars on the third floor, in the Office of
the American Stamp Manufacturing
Company, and did not bother to muss
things up any more.

Negro Trapped as
Thief Uses Jimmy
I'm Police Battle
Caught in Loft When Passer-
by Gives Alarm; Car With
Running Motor Waiting
for Suspect i'm Street

George Walker, negro, twenty-slX
years old, who gave his address As 211
Warden Street, Atlanta, Ga, was ar
rested in 8 loft building at Al West
Forty-sixth Street last night, after a
fight in which he kept two detectives
from the West Forty-seventh Street
station at bay for time with an in
strument which the police say was a
burglars jimmy. He was taken to the
West Forty-seventh Street police sta
ton and locked up on charge of
burglary.
Detectives Clarence Daily and Pat
rick Nancy, of the West Forty-seventh
Street station, were told by pedes-
trian that a robbery was being COM
mitted in the loft building. On the
third floor of the structure, they say,
they found Walker wrapoing up bun
die of silk goods. There were similar
bundles on the floor all about him.
Before the detectives could draw
their revolvers Walker had closed with
them. Just as the officers were about
to shackle the negro, who was more
than six feet in height, they heard a
motor running at the door. Believing
that accomplices of Walkers had come
to carry off the loot, Nancy ran to the
street, where he found Detective Frank
Walsh holding Thomas Henry, negro,
of 159 West 145th Street, the chauffeur
of the car which the detectives heard.
Henry explained that he had brought
another negro to the building and was
waiting for him to return when he be-
came suspicious and called Walsh.
When Nancy returned to the third
floor he found that Walker had almost
overpowered Detective Daley. At the
police station Henry identified Walker
as the man he had driven to the build
ing. Henry was not detained.

he went. 1t was clear that Old Mr..
Toad was in hurry, in very great
hurry. AS he hoped he rolled his
beautiful golden eyes back, trying to
see behind him. In them was a look
of worry. Just to have seen him for
a moment you would have known that
he was anxious.
He was. He was very anxious, was
Old Mr.. Toad. Somewhere behind
him, hiding from Mrs. Bear and the
twins, was Buffer the Adder. Old
Mr. Toad had seen Buffer trysin vain

Buffer crawl into a hole in the
ground just in the nick of time. Now
he wanted to get just rs far away
from that hole as he could before
Buffer should decide that it was safe

after gay party which lasted through
the night. All participants in the party
have told their stories to the grand
jury, but so far no indictments have
been returned in the case. The motive
for the shooting is ascribed to jealousy
on the part of Collins.
Late yesterday afternoon it was re-
ported that Collins, whose right name
is said to be Tourbillon, had been
found in Atlantic City, but this was
denied, both by Captain Andrew
Wines, head of the detectives in the
Bronx, who has been in charge Of the
search for Collins, and by the chief
of police at Atlantic City. Collins has
been missing since the day of the
shooting, although countrywide
search has been instituted by the
police.
Revelations of blackmail activities
on a large scale have come out of the
investigation into the shooting and the
District Attorneys Office in the Bronx
is preparing to continue it's search for
evidence. Complaints are being re-
ceived by telephone, but complainants,
in the future, will be asked to appear
personally, otherwise no action will
be possible. So far no evidence which
could lead to indictments. has been
