WESLEY MEMORIAL CHURCH
PLANS TO REACH MILLIONS
WITH THE GOSPELBYRADIO
MAN HELD BELIEVED
To Be MASTER THIEF

ST. LOUIS, June 29.-Herbert
M. Rothery, SO, who, police say, is
known as the dean Of diamond and
jewelry thieves" in the United
States and England, is under arrest
here today, and has admitted his
identity, according to the police. He
is said to be wanted for robbery
in many cities.
With the arrest Of Rothery, police
said that a most remarkable GRIM
inal career for the past thirty
years, had been closed.
Rothery bears the pose of pros
porous commercial traveller, wears
expensive clothing, and has a dis
tinguished air about him.
Detectives say he tried to change
his appearance by dying his mus
tache and goatee.
Police authorities declare that
Rothery has been sought since 1892,
for escaping from the Marlborough
prison in England, and that he also
is wanted in various cities of the
United States for breaking Jail and
jumping bonds.
Rothery, police asserted, denies a
local charge of stealing an $S8 pin
from jewelry store last June Is.
but a warrant has been issued
against him, and local authorities
said they will hold him for Off
falls of other cities after they are
through with him.
The cities where Rothery is
wanted andt the charges, include:
New Orleans, jewel theft; Atlanta,
Ca jewel robbery, and Richmond,
Va, jewel theft.
Rothery refused to discuss the
charges against him throughout
the country.
AUTHORITIES DECLARE MAN
is NOT WANTED HERE
Inquiries at police headquarters,
the local Pinkerton agency, and the
criminal division of the municipal
court, failed to develop news of any
charges preferred in Atlanta against
Herbert M. Rothery, the man said
to be held on charges of jewel theft
in ST.. Louis, Mo-.
The local Pinkerton agency had
record of one Rothery which dis
closed that he has been wanted all
over the country for alleged crimes
committed during the past, several
years, but there was no record of an
Atlanta charge against the man
under the name given. .s...g --
There is no warrant outstanding
against man of that name in mu-
nicipal court. the authorities say.

De VALERA DECLARES
WAR ON FREE STATE

DUBLIN, June 30.-Eamonn De
Valera, former president of the
Irish re- public" assumed supreme
command of the insurgents today.
De Valera took the leadership Of
the rebel army which il fighting
Free State troops throughout the
city of Dublin. ....
AS Rory O'Connor's forces were
driven from the Four Courts in a
final Free State assault early today
the announcement was smade that
De Valera openly has declared war
against Collins government.
This indicates a general civil war
throughout Ireland. 1t is believed
the insurgents under De Valera will
make a supreme effort to overthrow
the Free State government which
was established by the treaty with
Great Britain.
Up to this point De Valera has
occupied a neutral ground between
the extrmists under Rory O,Connor
and the Free State government.
He recently affected an agreement
with Collins for. an Irish constitu.
ton and it was believed he was not
in complete sympathy with the reb-
els. Since DE Valera's adherents
were soundly defeated at the polls
in recent elections, however, the
former president has been silent as
to his intentions.
Five thousand British troops are
now in Dublin. They have taken no
part in the battle between the two
Irish factions other than guarding
banks when street fighting reached
serious proportions yesterday. .

is an American-owned concern.

Mexico City to make new demands
on the Mexican government for, pro-
lection of the Americans employed
by the Dutch-British company.
