incident is of national significance be
cause it Is typical of the unequal

The City Of New York, like the

attempts to buy talent below the

position on the part of the ablest men
to go into public life, if at all, only
temporarily. In England and other
countries, there is an offsetting factor
in the tendency of retired business
men to enter public life. In this
country, however, there is still a

POLICE GET Man
WANTED In EAST
CAR ALSO TAKEN

Through the quick action of Douglas
police officers on Thursday, Charles e.
Sharp, badly wanted by the law in
Marion, Ind, was taken into custody
kilograms from the Indiana city were
received here asking that a watch be
kept for the man. A description of
Sharp and the car he was supposed to
be driving were contained in the mes
sages. Early Thursday morning Pat
rolman Patterson found the car.
He watched it until man came for
it at parking place and accosted the
man, who turned out to be a relative
of the man wanted. From this man
information was obtained that Sharp
who is carpenter by trade, was work
ing in Bisbee.
The local police sent Constable Cor
don Newman to Bisbee and the wanted
man was brought back in a few hours
While the kilograms from Indiana i'm
dicate that the car driven by Sharp is
a stolen machine, the officers here
expect to find that the man is wanted
on some very much more serious
charge, as special efforts were made to
locate him.
Upon being notified that the man
was in. custody, the Indiana officers
wired back that deputy sheriff was
already on his way None of the tele-
grams said anything definite about
holding the machine, although it was
used to aid in describing Sharp.
Sharp would say little to officers and
nothing to Dispatch reporters. He
asked for lawyer, and it was under
stood late Thursday that he had re-
tanned local attorney. Whether he
will fight extradition is not known.
The Indiana deputy is expected here
late Saturday.
