REPORT AUTO THEFTS
 DECREASE IN NUMBER
fRy the As>sc,ated PreesY

St. Louis, Mo, Oct. 20.-Despite a 20 per cent increase in the number of automobiles, thefts of automobiles decreased 10 per cent in 1920 as com pared with 1919, according to statis- tics made public at headquarters of the National Automobile Dealers As sociation here
 The association attributed the de cline to results obtained from the fed eral motor vehicle theft law, more stringent laws in various states for the punishment of automobile thieves and vigorous police activity. In 1920 the statistics showed that approximately 30,000 automobiles were stolen in 2S large cities of the coun- ltry. This number was 5000 less tran those stolen in 1919. With a theft list of $500 machines
 Chicago had the largest number of
 motor vehicles stolen. New York had 5,200 and ranked next to Chi. cago.

No Tender Missives
Written Since 1912,
Testifies Mrs. Stokes

NEW YORK, April 28.-Mrs. w. E.
D. Stokes sought in court here to-
day to show that since 1912 her
letters to her husband were con-
finod to business matters.
1t was her fifth day on the stand
in the divorce suit brought by her
husband. In support of her counter
charge of cruelty she stated that
her affection for Stokes waned short
ly after the wedding in 1911 and
that she wrote him no love letters
after 1912.
Stokes attorneys went through his
correspondence files today in an eff
fort. to show that as late as 1913
she sent him tender missives. OPP
posing counsel spent most Of the
forenoon session in wrangling over
the admissibility of the letters.
Stokes was too i'll to appear today.
At the beginning of the trial he
appeared each day in immaculate
clothing, brushing his white hair
with military brushes as he took
his place. In the last few days he
has worn a skull cap. His attorney
said he might be back tomorrow.
Mrs. Stokes apparently was I'M
ruffled today by the severe cross
examination yesterday. She W.
checked so sharply in her story that
her attorneys protested against it.

Marine Unions and
Shipowners to Meet
Again in Conference

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-A final
break between the shipowners and
marine workers was narrowly avert
ed at the conference called here yes
terday by Chairman Benson, of the
shipping board, in an effort to pre-
vent threatened strike on May 1,
when existing wage agreements ex-
plre. A last-moment appeal by An
drew Furuseth, president of the
International Seamen's Union, re-
suited in an agreement for further
conferences Friday.
The delay was sought in order
that proposals of Chairman Benson
for a Is per cent wage reduction
and changes in working conditions
afloat may be laid before the
unions, but admittedly the outlook
for an agreement Friday was not
bright.
Admiral Benson told the confer
ence he would not recede from the
outline of reductions he had pre-
sented as necessary to the merchant
marine.
w. S. Brown, for the Marine En-
gineers' Beneficial Association, flat
ly rejected the proposed wage re-
duction.
w. A. Thompson, representing the
American Steamship Owners Assoc
citation, said that unless the unions
were prepared to negotiate a enw
wage scale further conferences would
be useless and that his organization
was now prepared to act.

day when ordered by the city health
authorities to seek a more habilitable

According to the health authorities
the aged negress has been living in
a small cavity created in a junk pile
by the removal of various pieces
of junk covered only with small bits
Of tin and wood and lined with rags
and bits of carpets. When not in

a skirt of gunny sacking and mans
coat, adorned with bits of brass braid

T[L.lI.INTAAIRN NAIL
SERVICE CANCELLED

The proposed daily airplane mail
and passenger service between At
lanta ard New York. which was to
have been inaugurated the first part
of Nay, has BEEN canc24ied by the
pnstcffice department, owing it vas
announced, to the inability of the
Lawson Airplane company, of Mills
waukee, to finance the undertaking.
News to this effect was con-
tanned in a letter received Thursday
morning by Charles E. Robertson,
secretary of the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce, from E. f. Shang
assistant postmaster general, an
nouncing that the department, at the
request of the Lawson company,
had cancelled the contract.
Whether Atlanta as to have an
airplane mail service any time soon
now seems very remote, as Secre-
tary Robertson said that it would
be necessary for the government to
reopen negotiations and award a
contract to another company before
the service could commence. This,
he said, would probably take a year
at the least.
mail service between Atlanta and
New York, with stops at Raleigh,
Washington and other cities, was
awarded to the Lawson company
nearly a year ago, and was original
ly to start on January 10. However,
on a petition from the Lawson COM
pany, a delay of four months was
granted and the contract was to
have started on May Is.
The Lawson company, of .Milkau-
llee, of which a. W. Lawson is presi-
dent, was to have received $4,000
annually from the government, and
to have the privilege of carrying
passengers. The company was to
