Hackensack Police Believe Ac-
tivities of Group Are Def
initely Ended.

= The police of Hackensack. n. j., be-
lieve that with the arrest yesterday Of
John Carney and william Ulrich, both
OF North Arlington, they have ended
the activities OF band which has
robbed six homes since June 80. Follow
ing the alleged confessions of the two
men. the police recovered $1,000 worth
of stolen goods in the home OF william
Hughes OF 2 Gard avenue. North Ar
lington. Hughes was arrested and
charged with receiving stolen goods.
The confessions of Carney and Ulrich.
the police said, also implicated Frank
Hughes, son Of William Hughes, and in
sisted that he was the leader OF the
organized band. Carney was arrested
early yesterday by Policeman Mc'iugh
of Hasbrouck Heights, and after his ar
rest gave information which led to the
arrest of Ulrich.
On June 30. according to the police.
the band took away two trucl<loads OF
goods valued at $4,000 from the hohme
OF John Herold. on Lawrence avenue.
Hasbrouck Heights. The thieves even
ripped out a valuable dome from the
ceiling Of the house, put II on a truck
and carried Il away. The scheme of the
men, the police said, was to 90 from
house to house selling brushes for a
Connecticut firm with the purpose oil
finding out what families were away.
IL is alleged that the homes of William
Muller George Wicltsk and James Rog-
ers, all OF Woodbridge. were robbed BY
the same band.

CORPS MAKES FIRST TRY
Ru The Associated Press.

NORFOLK, Va, July 20.-Four direct
hits were scored by the Marine Corps
planes In the first attack launched to-
day against the German battleship
Ostfriesland. Two of the hits were with
live bombs which exploded and the
other two were "duds."
Army, navy and Marine Corps
aviators, using bombs ranging in size
the attacks on the battleship. a heavily
armored craft corresponding to the
dreadnaught Florida of theAmerican
navy.
Although battle conditions could not
be simulated, as the Ostfriesland was
unnamed and at anchor, the result of
the tests was expected to have an i'm
portant bearing on the controversy
started by Brig-Gen. William Mitchell,
assistant chief of the Army Air Service,
with his declaration before a Congress
sional committee that the airplane was
making the capital ship obsolete.
Many naval officers here to observe
the attacks predicted that the Ostfries-
land would be able to Withstand any
punishment the bombers could give. On
the other hand. army officers believed
the airmen would score, victory. They
said that even II the craft was not &C
tually sunk the airplanes probably would
infict so much damage that the ship
would be out of the running.
No living creature was aboard the
Ostfriesland and consequently there was
no way of determining the probable
effect of the explosions on crew. The
army officers were certain, however. that
hits with several of the larger bombs to
be employed would put practically the
entire ships crew out Of action through
shell shock. Some members of Congress
observing the attack also were known to
entertain the same opinion.
The attacks to-day were divided into
three separate phases. In the first more
than a dozen army, navy and Marine
Corps planes were to drop some three
score bombs, weighing ESQ and 800
pounds each.

KLOOR,S HEAD TURNED,
SAYS FORMER FIANCEE
That Is Why She Broke En-
gagement, She Explains.

Special Despatch TO THE New York HERALD.
CHICAGO. July 20.--Miss Alexander
Flowerton, whose engagement to Lieut..
Louis +. Kloor. Jr., was broken off soon
after the young naval officer had
achieved international fame as bal
loonist, decided to-day to deny Kloor's
version of the estrangement. Miss Flow
erton is visiting relatives here.
THE thing that hurts me is that
Lieut.. Kloor said he had broken the en-
gagemcnt," she said. This Is not true.
Since his return to New York he has
been wined and dined to such an extent
that I think 1t has turned his head.
Three weeks ago told him would not
marry him."
Miss Flowerton also made denial of
the report that Kloor's pay as a lieuten-
ant had been the cause of the break.
