MOTOR THIEVES, WORKING
CLEVER SCHEME, TRAPPED

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Ingenious
automobile thieves latest scheme, as
revealed in the West Side court yes-
terday. consists in sending an applica-
ton for a license to the secretary Of
state with a mythical motor number,
stealing a car of the particular make
for which the license was asked, sub
shutting the mythical for the real mo-
tor number, disposing OF the car to an
innocent buyer and dating back the
Dill of sale in an attempt to cover up
their tracks.
Two brothers, John and William
Brennan, were held in 81 900 bail for
the grand jury on a charge of having
operated this scheme. Their arrest
was brought about when a car which
they were alleged to have disposed Of
was Identified by means of a secret
number which the owner had placed
on the car and which they had neglect
ed to obliterate.

haven't anything to say" was his
comment.
Among those arrested were a con-
stable and his brother. John Il. Payne,
forty seven years old, Of Miners Hill,
was seized by officers near Tucker's
farm when that place was raided. ana
charged with illegally operating an
Illicit still. Payne has been q con-
stable in Arlington county Tor some
time.
Officers says that his brother, Harry
Payne, was operating huge stlli on
the Tucker farm when they swooped
down on the place. The still had a
capacity of 200 gallons, and Is the
largest single whiskey maker ever
captured in this section.
Raiders Heavily Armed.
The raid was not without its thrills.
Several times the officers faced threat
ened gun play. The dry-agents say
they had been informed beforehand
that trouble might be expected when
they raided the Tucker farm, which Is
conducted by Norman Harrell. AS u
result the party was heavily armed.
The enforcement officers declare that
when they first approached the home
Gtead on the Tucker place that Har-
rel appeared and warned them away
Officer Evans asserts that when Fed
eral Officers Lipscomb and Ecksten
approached Harrell that he knocked
both of them down. Evans says he
then stepped in and after threatening
to shoot, Harrell surrendered.
Besides the Tucker farm operated
by Harrell, other places raided were
the residence OF Isaac Gardner at
Halls Hill; the Carter farm on the
northern outskirts Of Alexandria; AMI
the farm owned by J. w. Banton.
which adjoins the Tucker property.
Both the latter places are located at
East Falls Church.

Feeder for Washington.
The raiding agents planned several
more raids than those that were car
ried out, but so fast did the news OF
their activities travel over the county
that at several places visited all evil
dences of Illicit making had been de-
stroyed.
After the raid Evans declared he

am wedging in here to tell you something of our troop, No. 7s or Muscoda. We are Country cousins" to the Birmingham troops and are proud of it. Now all you folks have heard so much about scouts and scout camps.
 So, If you want to see a real camp, some of you come down and see ours We are proud of 1t, because we built it. planned it, and paid for all the material 1t took to build 1t and to furnish 1t. To look into one of ths big rooms of our cabin is worth ' trip to our camp. It has large fire place with big rock chimney at one end. The interior of this room Is finished with split maple logs. The walls are draped with d large Amer ican flag, and our troop flag. We have a reproduction of some of Gib- sons work. One shows canoe in a rapidly running stream. Two Ca nadians are rowing and on the shore are two big moose, fighting. This picture is entitled An Interrupted Duel" Another picture Is of q bis American elk on a high cliff. The background is a sunset in most beau tifui colors. The third picture is 9! old Mamma BeaN and her three cubs 'toddling" down rocky mountain side. We also have pennants and flags.
 We have an assortment of birf nests. collected after they had been abandoned by their builders. A biz knot board also adds to our decora- tions. wigwag flags, ca oe paddles small pictures. and college pennants

 Now, is this worth seeing? l say it Is! This description of our living room is not half you will see when you visit Camp Chekota. Take peep across the hall and you can see our kitchen. A large range, long IA foot table. pots, pans, dishes and about 12 chairs go to constitute the Kitchen furnishings. Now. take a look at our sleeping porch. 2sxS feet all screened in, sufficient room for 10 cots. Now go out on the back porch, look east and you see trail which is called mystery trail, which leads to new cabin.
 This is the "Jazzy Boe." built and owned by three of the troop. Nov look south. Another new cabin. This Is the property of four more of the troop, built by them and named Bear Cat Den." You can also see a large rock pile which came out of our well which is about 33 fee, deep, and we have just struck water
 Now look west. and you can sse another. cabin. This is the Rangers Roost." Four more boys are build ing it. We have not mentioned ou: boats in the creek below, or our long suspension bridge.
