MOTOR THEFT RING
BROKEN IN new YORK

Recovered.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 26,--An auto
mobile stealing business operated on
such a large and systematic scale that

At least one minor employe OF the
company" Is in jail, IS of the stolen
cars. worth $l50000. have been recov-
cred and. It was learned, other arrests
are expected.
The first clew to the thieving COM
bine came last November 26, when De-
tectiveS Murray and Donohue arrested
Ralph Baldwin In an automobile bear
ing New Jersey license plates. He
showed a license and bill of sale for the
car that apparently were in good order.
but the detectives refused to be
satisfied.
Investigation showed Baldwin's adj
dress fictitious, the license plates had
been obtained under q false name, the
papers were forged and the car had
been stolen.
Leads from Baldwin's arrest led in
vestigatorS to note that the thieves
would get New Jersey license plates
forge bill Of sale, and after stealing
car, substitute the New Jersey plates
complete the bill of sale and drive the
machine across the river.
There it would be sold through one
