Mrs. Stankevitch want ed her brOther-in-law arrested at first, but when she saw that he was reluctant to be taken and that Sher- if Perry and some men who came to help him found it necessary to treat J Ohn roughly and tie him with ropes she decided that she did not wish him arrested. This thOughta came too late, since John had resisted an officer and today he is resting in the Westport lookup.

 Senator Walsh also submitted to the Senate a letter addressed to Secre- tary of Commerce Hoover by the Fed eration of Missouri Commercial Clubs in which il was declared the coal operators should be compelled to speedily recognize the fact that the war is over.' and that the public should not be expected to tolerate any longer war levels. and in some cages higher than war level prices for coal

St0ler, Cars Are Insured
 Police Aver
Elias and Harris to Be Arraigned in New York Court Tomorrow All Known Facts Furnished to Depart ment of Justice, Inves- tigating the Case.

New York police are playing a lone hand in their investiga- ton into the alleged fences in this city, which they claim have disposed of two hundred new Ford sedans and coupes that were stolen in various parts of the country and taken to a central distributing agency in New York city.
 No Aid Sought.
 They claim that the "fences'' went to New York and secured the cars. and drove them to this city, where they were disposed of at a price about S20O lower than it is possible for the local Ford agency to distri- bute them. The usual custom in cases of this kind is for the New York police to get in touch with the local and ask their co-opera- tion in an attempt to run down the fences" but so far this has not been done.
 Another thing that hampers the in vestigation is the question of Juris- diction. If a car is stolen in New York the arrest must take place in that place and inasmuch as most of cording to New York police, it is not a local matter.
 The Department of Justice has been furnished with the facts in the case make thorough investigation into the whole affair.
