AUTOMOBILE THEFTS
DECREASE IN 1920

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Oct. 20.-Despite a
20 per cent increase in the number of
automobiles, thefts of automobiles de-
creased 10 per cent. in 1920 as COM
pared with 1919, according to statistics
made public at headquarters Of the
National Automobile Dealers associa-
ton here.
The association attributed the de-
cline to results obtained from the
federal 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 ap-
proximately 10000 automobiles were
stolen in % large cities of the country
This number was 5000 less than those
stolen in 1919.
Chicago Makes Record.
With a theft list of $500 machines,
Chicago had the largest number of
motor vehicles stolen. New York had
5000 and ranked next to Chicago
A large decrease in the number of
machines stolen in ST. Louis was
noted. In 1919 the number was 1900,
while only 500 thefts were reported in
1920.
Dayton, Ohio had an unusual record
of having recovered more stolen cars
than the actual number of thefts re-
ported. with 19S stolen and 211 re-
covered.
The figures showed that Pacific coast
cities recovered more than so per cent
of the stolen automobiles.

WINCHESTER MAN SAYS
HE TOLD DEFENDANTS
ACTS WERE DANGEROUS

Sensational testimony featured the
Thursday morning session of court
during the trial of W. ]. Hubert, for
mer president of the Marine Tire and
Rubber company. of Winchester. on
charge of embezziement.
Edward Lincoln, of Winchester, who
was on the stand during the morning
session of court, told of statements
made by him to Hubert and Benjamin
J. MERCER, another official in the COM
pany and co-defendant with Hubert,
that unless they settled with the stock
holders of the defunct concern, they
would be "railroaded" to the peni-
Tertiary.
Lincoln's manner was frank and
open. and he made good impression
He was asked whose money paid Tor
certain shares of stock in the concern.
His emphatic my money!" brought
smiles to the faces of many.
Describes Transactions.
William Alexander, retail mer-
. chant of Winchester, called to the
: stand Wednesday to testify for the
state described transactions which

Alexander was one of the purchasers
of the stock of the concern. He had
taken 500 shares, at par value of 81
per share He testified that on one
occasion when he visited the plant, and
saw some of the stock which had been
sent from Springfield, H., he discover
ed it to be burnt along the edges, or
ends of the rolls. A portion of these
damaged rolls was cut off and thrown
away when they started to use the
stock he said.
Exchange of Repartee.
Official dignity was relaxed for a
moment when an exchange of repartee
took place during the cross examina-
ton of this witness. Alexander had
been asked if he remembered seeing
Judge Caldwell, one of the attorneys
for the defense, short time after the
2 meeting of Nov. 10. He answered in
the negative.
Judge Caldwell's memory may be a
little bad remarked Walter Parry, at
torney for the prosecution with a
smile.

well for an old man." retorted Henry
U. Johnson.

ing Judge Caldwell, and referring to
the question of age. The cross-ex-
animation went on.
