FOURTH MAN HELD
IN ROBBERY SERIES
Police Claim Three Suspects
Have Confessed Parts
in Burgaries.

The arrest of a fourth man today
is declared by the police to have
brought nearer the solution Of scores
of recent safe and store robberies in
the downtown business section, fol-
lowing the capture Saturday night
of two men after they broke through
the plate glass at the Cinderella Boot
Shop, 1911 G street, in an effort to
escape from the police within.
Randolph Rowlett. 35 years old.
arrested at his home, 1888 Newton
street, at 3 o'clock this morning, ad-
mitted, according to the police, that
he acted as lookout for the three
men held in the robbery of the G
street store. The police also de-
clared that he confessed to part in
a. safe robbery at an Old Dutch
Market branch. where. he admitted.
he transported burglar tools and
kept watch outside while the burglars
worked.
Although police would not explain
just how they managed to locate
Rowlett, it was said that certain ad-
missions" made by one or more OF the
men already under arrest led to the
tOurtn ma apprehension.
All four will be further questioned
today regarding their activities here
and in other cities. Francis A. Kloss,
80 years old, and Edward Tate. SO
years old, both claiming to be from
New York, and Gregory Wilson. 25
years old. Of New Bedford, Mass, the
first three men to be captured, have
confessed to robberies committed in
New Bedford and in Scranton, Pa.
Kloss. Wilson and Tate. according to
the police, have admitted robbing Peo-
pies Drug Store at Tenth and F
streets also. and police are inclined to
believe that these men are responsible
for the veritable "wave" of safe-crack-
ing in Washington business establish
ments during the past two months.
With the exception of Tate, who re-
ceived severe lacerations across his
abdomen when he dove through a
plate glass window Of the Cinderella
Boot Shop yesterday, in futile at
tempt to escape, and who is now held
under guard at Gallinger Hospital. the
suspects are lodged in cells at No. l
precinct police station.

Beer Production Cut.
The legitimate near-beer production

total pre-war beer production. Before
prohibition about 60,000.000 barrels of
81 gallons each, or nearly 1000, 100000
gallons, of real beer was produced.
The breweries which continued in
operation after prohibition and
switched to near-beer now are turn

total or about 100000 barrels, DR..
Doran estimated.
The alcoholic content of beer going

Strong Group Seeks Return of

SHANGHAI, August 15.-Because
of the resignation of Gen. Chang
Kai-Shek, who as head of the Nam
king government has had control of
this section of .China, Shanghai faces
the possibility of a coup d'etat. A
violent overturn may not be attempt
ed. but conditions favoring an attempt
certainly are here. Indeed. such a
thing may come from either one or
both of two opposed sources.
The followers of Gen. Sun Chuan-
Fang may endeavor to anticipate a
military victory north of the Yangtze,
or the so-called Communists, whose
hopes center in the old Hankow
clique, or christian General" Feng
Yu-Hsiang. and all Of the Hankow
group, may make a trial.
Sun Is Favored.
Sun ChuanG- Fang, who ruled Shang-
hal before the Southern Nationalists'
successes of last Spring, and who now
is fighting to get across the Yangtze
River from the north, has abundant
followers both in the Nanking and
here. A sign of the times has been
not only the virulence Of anti-Chiang
,kai-Shek propaganda at Marking,
but the boldness of propaganda favor.
ing Sun Chuang-Fang. In Shanghai
which welcomed Chang SO effusively
last March, there always has been a
strong element wanting Suns return.
They remember the amazing pros
perity which existed under the North
ern militarist, Sun Chuan-Fang, and
little but disaster under the Nationalist
generalissimo, Chang Kai-Shek. Mag
nificent promises made by Chang kai-
Shek and the Kuomintang they have
seen go to nothing. 1t is true that
Chang could not possibly usher in
the millennium in few short months,
but Chinese are not inclined to accept
excuses for failure. Business went to
pieces under Chang. They want pros.
perity and change.
Expect to Take Shanghai.
Shanghai radicals scout the idea
that Hankow leaders will never CO.
operate with Nanking. They look TO
the christian General as their lead
er now and expect to strike for pos
session of Shanghai as soon as Nam
king has collapsed or is about to col
lapse. They expect TO take Shanghai
before Sun Chuan-Fang can get here.
Then they plan to settle VIGOROUSLY
with the Northerners.
Shanghai is quiet today. The
French are constructing new block
houses for machine guns at strategic
intersections along the southern
boundary fronting the Chinese district.

DESSAU, Germany, August Is P).
The German transatlantic plane
Bremen returned here this afternoon,
landing at APO o'clock.
The Bremen came down safely and
undamaged at the Dessau airdrome.
The pilots stated that they were com.

Midatlantic storms and heavy fogs

The Bremen, with its pilots, Herman

has been moving eastward for several

the flight plans.
Fuel for 80 Hours.
The Bremen and Europa, both
Junkers W-33 planes, having stocked
up with fuel sufficient to keep them
in the air for 80 hours, hoped off
from the Dessau airdrome Sunday at
6;21:47 and 6:25:13 pm, respectively.
The planes got off to a quick start,
shot across the field and soon disap-
peared in a cloudbank. No ceremonies
preceded the start, only a few Junkers
and North German Line officials being
on that part of the field from which
they took the air. The crowds which
rushed to the airdrome when 1t be-
came known the double transatlantic
effort was to get under way gave the
flyers an ovation as they passed over

rations-hardtack and distilled water.
One of the last things the airmen
