MAY BE 100000
Securities Gone From Office at
1850 Broadway Two Years
Ago Traced to Prisoner.

Frederick Kelly OF Gel West 1T9th
street, treasurer of the Hamilton Thea
tire, Broadway and 146th street, and
Mrs Elizabeth Van Nostrand OF 66l
West 169th street, were arrested yes
terday afternoon, charged with the
theft of $4,000 in United states Gov
ernment bonds.
According to Peter Rubano, a reye-
nue. agent, the theft was committed on
July S, 1919, while Kelly was an agent
in the United States revenue office at
1850 Broadway. Rubano also said that
while only $4,000 worth of stolen
bonds are involved in the present
charges, he believes he thefts
amounted to about 100000.
Kelly was caught only after a two
wear search as he tried to change sew
eral bonds for Italian Ira at the money
exchange Office of Ignatz Engle, IN "a
West 125th street. Three or four days
ago Kelly entered Engle's office. say
the police, and presented a $500 pond
which he said he wanted to change into
Ira. A clerk, Edward Held, told him
he would have to leave the bond for
few days Kelly agreed.
Engle began checking UP on the bond.
He found that the number corresponded
with that of a bond which had been
listed as stolen. and notified Govern
ment authorities. He was instructed to
detain Kelly when the man entered
again and call the police.
Kelly returned yesterday afternoon to
the Engle Office, accompanied by Mrs.
Van Nostrand, who waited outside.
Kelly presented three more bonds, each
for $1,000, which he also wanted to
change into Ira. Held managed to get
word to Engle in an inner office. Kelly
said he believed he would not leave the
bonds. and in an argument he reached
across the counter and grabbed the
bonds from Held's hands. He got two
of them, but the third was badly torn.
Kelly then ran into the street ana
jumped into taxicab.
Held and Jacob Simpson. another
clerk, pursued him. Simpson jumped on
the running board Of another taxicab
and asked the chauffeur to overtake the
machine in which Kelly was riding. He
caught Kelly at 123d street and Lenox
avenue and grabbed him. Kelly fought,
but was subdued when Held arrived.
Kelly was turned over to Detectives
Leech and Donahue and taken to the West
123d street police station. he refused
to make any statement, but the police
say that they found in his pockets two
81. 900 bonds which had been stolen.
Rubano said Kelly dropped out OF
sight after the thefts in 1919 and was
lost until he appeared at Engles. He
has been employed at the Hamilton
Theatre for about three weeks. and had
agreed to stay throughout the season.
The connection of Mrs. Van Nostrand
with Kelly and the robbery was not
made clear, although she was locked up
on a charge similar to that against the
man. Neither was anything revealed
concerning the details of the theft of
the bonds.

Superintendent Ayres and the others
were awakened by revolvers being
pressed against their heads. They were
ordered to get up and were bound hand

was the only one who was searched, and
after pocketing his $50, four of the BAN
dts descended to the cashiers office,
one remaining on guard.
They met with difficulty in cutting
the bars of the cashiers cage, but cut
the wires. and started drilling the safe.
Then, just as the drills had bitten
through the outer door of the safe, the
elevator ratified down, and they fled
through a window into the yard back of
the plant. The tools, mask and pair
of gloves were found but no one saw the
bandits in flight.
Umpbley finally succeeded in working
free OF his bonds and released the
others. President Lewis expressed sur
prise that the bandits should have been
SO successful In gaining entrance to the
building. He denied that any great sum
was in the safe. Yesterday was pay
day.

Standard Health Service

T~HE Standard Health Service of
the Life Extension Institute is de-
@ signed to help you improve your
health and enjoy life to the fullest.
The Institutes Health Service con-
sists of a thorough physical exan1ina-
ton of the whole body, laboratory
tests, review of the members personal
and family history, daily living habits
and health problems, detailed reports,
hygienic guidance and instructions and
other valuable privileges.
The Institutes Standard Physical
Examination differs radically in its ex-
tent, requirements and purpose from
any other form Of physical exaraina-
tlon-such as an examination for in
surance, employment, military service
or the like
This examination is not made from
the standpoint of the hospital or clinic,
but from the standpoint of preventive
medicine and constructive hygiene,
which takes into consideration every
unfavorable factor that may be causing
a present lowered condition of health
or which may later, if neglected, de-
velop into some serious nlalady.
The great protective value Of the
Institutes examination lies in the fact
that every region Of the body is exam
ined and considered as we'll as any
local manifestation of trouble.
It makes no difference where you
live. In addition to it's staff of twenty
five Examining Physicians in the
Head Office in New York, the Life Ex-
tension Institute has more than 1000
Examining Physicians listed through
out the United States and Canada.
The Institute has its own pathologi-
cal laboratory and X-Ray Department..
