Maryland Bishop
Declares Flapper
High Type of Youth

Atlantic City, n. j., April IAN
criticism Of the so-called 'fapper'

CRIMINAL RECORD AGAINST
MEN ARRESTED HERE

Through the sending out of finger
prints of Angelo Casumes and
Charles Maynes, of New York City,
who were arrested last Friday by
officer Steve Grega in connection
with a daylight robbery at the mems
furnishing store of ]. Jaffe on State
street, the local police have learned
hat these men have been in the tolls
of the police of other cities.
Information received by Acting
Chief Lawrence \. Long from the
New York police today shows that
Casumes as Cosmas was arrested in
Brooklyn in October on a petty lar
ceny charge and served twenty days
in the workhouse for the offense.
Maynes as Rogas was arrested in
New York City in September on a
similar charge and served thirty
days in the oAkhouse.
The acting chief points out that it
is visible that these men are pro-
f~essionals at the satchel game. At
the Jaffe store, it is said, two men
went into the establishment leaving
one other outside with a satchel or
suitcase. One of the two men in the
store engages the proprietor in con
%versation and the second man starts
carrying the goods u
