Auto Thieves and the
Police

Former Governor Whitman, in caus-
ing the indictments Of members of the
Automobile Squad of the New York
Police Department for taking unlawful
fees in connection with the recovery Of
stolen machines, made some facts
known that go to support a long,
standing suspicion that the police have
maintained other than a legitimate in
teIest in automobile stealing.
Mr.. Whitman learned, through his
investigation of automobile thefts in
New York, that while fifty-five per
cent. of the cars stolen in a year had
been recovered, arrests and convictions
for less than five per cent. had been re-
corded. This large discrepancy convicts
the police either of inefficiency in
running automobile thieves down or of
a willful desire not to catch them, for
reasons of their own. 1t is impossible
to account other wise for the wide differ
ence in the figures, and the fact that
Mr.. Whitman discovered a numter of
ihotAhCCo IA ~ 5tOlCn OdL5 WhACh
had been recovered had been held back
until their owners had offered rewards
will incline most people to the belief
that the interest of the police was such
that catching the thieves held no at
fractions for them. In fact, Mr.. Whit
man claims to have unearthed the
deliberate working Of graft by police
men in cooperation with automobile
thieves.
The extensive scale on which auto
mobile stealing had been carried on In
New York is indicated by statistics,
quoted by Mr.. Whitman, which put
the number Of thefts at between 5000
and 10000 annually. This is an av erage
Of nearly thirty a day, a record that
would seem impossible, v allowing
for the large number of machines used
in New York. If the police were deter
mined to stop the thefts.-Up State

MURDER DEFENSE

For the first time in the history OF
New Jersey and possibly in the his
tory OF the country, a woman lawyer
is defending a man charged with
murder. Mrs. Augusta E. Maley,
of Hackensack, N. J., is appearing
as attorney for William Gleason, IS
year old New York war veteran, who
is accused of having killed policeman
John Ritter. Mrs. Maley says the
only reason she has consented to take
Gleasen,.s case is that she is convinced
of his innocence.

That opinion favoring German
claims in the matter may be based
on false premises is made clear by
the report of the conference of inan-
cial experts held in Brussels, in which
Germany is shown just how to wipe
out the deficit of 10000, 100000 marks
in her 1920 budget. The experts found
Germany was deliberately putting on
q poor face for the purpose of show
ing the world her %precarious financial
condition and her difficult situation.
Certain of her expenses were multi
piled rs times over those of 1919, and
certain of her taxes vastly below
those the people Of the allied coun-
tries are paying. Furthermore, the
budgets of 1919 and 1920 carried a
number of credits which were only
partly disbursed, such as 16.500.0OO
600 marks for the allied armies of oc-
cunation expenses, of which only f.
500. 900. 900 marks was spent. The
budget for 1920 carried 42,OOO,OO0,OOC

BY EDWARD W. PIckARD.

Germany says she neither can nor
will pay the total of re%parations that
was fixed by the supreme council-54
billions in AZ years and a tax of II
per cen on her exports during the
period. Eminent financial and eco
monte experts of the allied countries
and America agree that Germany will
find it impossible to pay that sum and
survive. Nevertheless, it is probable
that the German representatives in
the forthcoming London conference
will sign the agreement laid before
them, and that the allies thereafter
will get from the defeated country as
great a proportion of the "a billions
as they can, modifying the terms from
time to time.
The official protest Of Germany was
voiced by DIR. Walter Simons, the for
eign minister, and what he said was
~concurred in by the r~eichstag parties
through their leaders, with the excep-
ton of the ultra radicals, who gloried
In the painful position of the govern
ment. Doctor Simons asserted that
the obligations thus imposed on the
Germans would mean the complete
economic enSlavement of the people,
and particularly of the workers. He
said the government would offer coun-
ter proposals at the London meeting.
Among the people of France there
was satisfaction with the PREPARATIONS
plan, especially because 1t was ex-
pected that the first effective pay
ments by Germany will make avail
able for negotiations or for use as Sc
curity the French share of the 10000,
600, 900 gold marks in bonds already
delivered by Germany to the repara

agreed not to utilize her claim on Ger

next five years, and this gives France
the opportunity to make use not onl!
of her share of the bonds but also he

Gen. Charles G. Dawes of Chicago,
former chief of supply procurement
for the American army in France,
made lively and interesting two ses-
sions of the house war investigating
committee. Severely condemning
what he characterized as political at
tempts to discredit the people who
won the war, he defended the work of
his department and of the army in
general, and denied that there was
waste and extravaganza in the liqui-
dation of American accounts in France
and the sale of surplus stocks to the
French government. AS to the al
legged payment of excessive prices for
equipment and material, he said this
was necessary to get the job done
quickly and was justified by the fact
that the army did the job. General
Dawes did not mince his language
and what he had to say Of our pink
tea" diplomats in Europe who delayed
matters with their red tape was tonic
in its harshness. The discussion a
one time turned on Great Britain, ant
the general shouted:

In the house, the fight to prevent
reduction of the regular army below
$4,000, was opened by Chairman
Kahn of the military affairs commit
tee. He said President-elect Harding
told him recently at Marion that he
favored an army of 10000 men, but
that he hoped some day it could be
cut down to 10000. Mr.. Kahn also
disclosed Mr.. Harding's belief that
congress should enact legislation pro-
| viding voluntary military training for
10000 men annually.
Meanwhile economy of the most
| rigid sort is being forced on our reg
ular army by great deficiencies in
| funds for the remainder of the fiscal
year The shortage in the quarter
master corps alone is said to be 1884,
100000. In order to reduce the pro-
spective deficits to the lowest posi-
BILE minimum, the War department or
dered reduction of 40 to go per cent in
the number of civilian employees in
the army; reduction of the consump'
ton of gasoline and lubricants by 5(
per cent; allowance of clothing, equi-
page and supplies cut to the lowest pos
sible limit, repaired shoes and sal
vaged uniforms to be issued wher
ever possible; substitution of canned
food for fresh wherever possible, ant

The fight over wages, between the
railway executives and the railroad
b~rotherhoods, is on before the railway
labor board, and accusations have
been flying thick and fast. The execu-
tives asked permission IL abrogate the
national wage agreements entered into
during the war, which would mean the
lowering of the present wage scale.
The brotherhood leaders Immediately
entered vigorous protest, asserting
that the rail chiefs have conspired to
overthrow the railroad labor board
and to crush, once for all, the existing
labor organizations. They said they
could show that if the bankers who
are responsible for the fiscal needs of
the railroads since their return to pri-
vate ownership would perform their
duty, the roads could be adequately
financed and their solvency main
tanned.

In these remarks Mr.. Dawes, who
has been a leading probability for the
place of secretary of the treasury in
the Harding cabinet, seemed to re-
move himself from the lists. Certain
ly what he said so frankly will not
make him very acceptable to the pro-
f~essional Irishmen of America who
are mainly responsible for the anti
British propaganda. However, at this
writing he is still among the cabinet
possibilities. The latest list, as report
ed by the correspondents with Mr..
Harding in Florida, is:
Secretary of State-Charles E.
Hughes of New York.
Secretary of tho Treasury-Charles
G. Dawes of Illinois or A. w. Mellon
of Pennsylvania.
