that the lock was missing from the
door Of a garage on Wollaston street,
between Seventh and Eighth streets,
used by Percy Warren Green, former
chief deputy attorney general, to

not yet substituted 1921 license tags
for those of 1920.

which the police refuse to talk, oc-
ourred about 9 O'Clock this morning,
