HOUSE OF MINISTRY
 OF WAR IN VIENNA
 MECCA FOR THIEVES

Vienna, Jan. IA Scores of rob- berries are taking place in Vienna. but the house which is most favored bv thieves is that which was formerly occupied by the Ministry of War.
 Scarcely day passes when this house is not visited by robbers. who are always able to get away with their booty.
 The great size of the building which contains over thousand rooms, evidently attracts attention. and although the military and police have taken all possible steps, they have been unable to end the present state of affairs, and not only so, but some officials have been killed on the premises.
 Typewriters, ornaments pictures mirrors, door handles and brass fit tings are all carried away Should a thief in the course of his wanderings about the huge building encounter someone in one of the rooms he visits he inquires for some imaginary person, and continues his supposed search for him until he finds a room that is unoccupied. then he | quickly gathers together anything | that he can find and departs. To overcome the difficulty of carry- | ing away a typewriter the thief hands | it out of a window to an accomplice | in the street, and in some cases ma ! chimes have been taken to pieces and removed in an innocent looking dis patch case.

LOCATE LOST AUTOS
information In Possession OF Bureau
Given Any Owner OF
Stolen Car.

q Lincoln, Neb4, Sept. AZ. tAssociated
Press) The index records and files Of
the Nebraska automobile theft of the
state enforcement bureau have been
placed at the disposal of every person
in the United States who loses a
motor car by theft State Sheriff Gus.
A. Hyers, chief of the bureau, announc-
ed today
The department organized by an
act of the legislature was primarily in
stalled for the purpose OF Nebraska
motor car theft protection. but by
direction of Governor McKelyie under
whom the enforcement bureau is
managed, it is aimed to make the
branch a nationally known and co.
operative agency in aiding in appre-
bending stolen motor cars and thieves
in all parts of the country.
Since the first of the year approx.
mately 1000 records of stolen cars
have been filed with the department,
eighty per cent of which have been
ged-inked as recovered, Mr.. Hyers
declares. 1t was pointed out that
more than half of the eighty per cent
recovered were out OF state cars which
had been located through the agency's
indexes.
what we want to do is to inform
every motor car owner in the United
States that the Nebraska bureau is op-
en- to him should his car be stolen
Mr.. Flyers stated I'VE want notice
from every person who loses car by
theft for our records, and | believe,
upon results thus far, the agency
stands a good chance to aid him
The bureau is state managed and
all recoyeries are made without cost
to anyone, Mr.. Flyers said, Should re.
wards be offered the agency offers TO
locate the responsible parties.
