SNEAK THIEVES
STRIP AUTO
York Road Resident Finds Every
thing OF Value Removed From Car
STATE POLICE ON CASE

New Hope-Alvin Davis, who re-
sides on York Road near the boro
limits, awoke last Saturday morning
to find that sneak thieves had strip
ped his Chevrolet car of every at
tachment of value it contained. His
garage is open, being part of a barn
of his lot, and the car was of easy
access to thieves, He is employed
at the Tusearora Oil Pumping Sta
tion above the boro.
He first found the tires, top and
cushions removed and secured new
tires. But when he tried to start
the motor, found that even the bat
terry had been stolen. The State
Police at Doylestown were notified,
and an officer visited the scene on
Saturday to investigate.
On Monday night, following the
robbery, Mrs. Lewis Voorhees,, a
next-door neighbor, was awakened
by dogs barking in the rear of the
house, and she and Mr.. Voorhees,
secured a revolver and went to in
vestigate. Mr.. Davis appeared about
the same time and was soon joined
by Orville Warford, who also lives
nearby. While they were standing
NNANit NiiS hph9N q NPbhfS iioi esthiN
running up in an excited manner,
claiming someone had attacked him.
He gave his name as Laux, and it is
believed that he is one of a family
residing in Solebury Township. 1t
was later reported that individuals
by that name had been involved
with the police on several occasions.
Mrs. Voorhees, tried to detain
Laux, inviting him into the house
to phone the police if he had been
attacked. But he evidently became
suspicious, and declined to enter. 1t
was regretted that the men did not
forcibly detain him as suspicious
character.
Burgess Magill interviewed Mrs.
Voorhees, about the matter and re-
ported the matter to the State Police
at Doylestown. He says he is deter
mined to track the thieves down,
and judging by his efforts in the
past he will no doubt keep his word.

Old Union House Being Remodeled
BY Trenton Owners
STORES IN FRONT

Lambertville-Wo has been
started on the old Union House on
Bridge street to remodel it into a
modern store, apartment and thea
tire building. Abraham Rosen, presi-
dent of the Relations Holdings, In

that two attractive stores are to be
build in the front of the theatre
with a spacious lobby between them
leading to the theatre which is to
be constructed in the rear.
The upper floors of the hotel are
to be made into apartments, and it
is expected that apartments will also
be built in the two brick dwellings
adjoining the hotel These are also
owned by Relations Holdings. The
finished structures will be a credit
to the city, and will mark the turn
ing point in theatre amusements
for the community.
1t is expected that both vaudeville
and moving pictures will he shown
in the new theatre when it is fin-
ished. The Strand Theatre here and
the Palace in Pennington are owned
by Relations Holdings. The new
theatre will not be built until after
the apartments and stores are COM
pleted in the Union House, but it
will be completed as soon as pos
sible.
The Strand Theatre here will a'so
be continued as long as patronage
warrants it, but in the event it does
not pay it will be discontinued after
the new theatre is in use. Mr.. Rosen
says that large stage is to be built
in the new structure, and that it
will be available for local attrac-
tions.
A few years ago the owners of
the 0rpheum Theatre, in Trenton,
purchased the property opposite the
Lambertville House announced that
they were to build a large theatre
there. But in the meantime the ra-
dio craze swept the country. and as
moving picture houses suffered for
time from the competition, they
gave up the project.
