pRI1ER TOOTS WAY ] INTO ARMS OF LAW
Noise Attracts Policeman, Youth Is Held for
 Auto Theft

The attention of Supernumerary Officer Rosario Tata was attracted to an automobile on Stanley street about o'clock this morning because the driver was sounding the horn at every street intersection, without any traffic in sight. He stopped the Ear and asked Alfred Schnitzke, 16, of 250 Lawrence street, Hartford, for his license. The youth had none and was brought to the police sta- ton with his companion, Robert Thibodeau, also of Hartford.
 Up to that time the Hartford po- lice had no report of a stolen car but later they learned that Echnitz- Ike and Thibodeau had been near a garage in which a Hartford store keeper was putting his car last night and they volunteered to open the door for him. In so doing, they are alleged to have slipped the door key off the ring unknown to the owner, and after he had gone, they opened the door and took the car.
 Schnitzke was charged with driv- ing without license but Assistant Prosecuting Attorney w. M. Green stein released him without going to court, in view of the more serious charge which the Hartford police have against him. Thibodeau and Schnitzke were turned over to the Hartford authorities today.

 In addition to increase in the tax revenue and the furnishing of em- ployment to a gang of operators, MT. Hadley stressed the advantage from a standpoint of insured ice supply irrespective of weather conditions.

DETECTIVES STUDYING .NEGR0'S FINGERPRINTS
Believe Man May Be Con- nected With Girls
 Murder

South Bend Ind, Sept. 19 R) - Possible connection of Edward Smith. 21, Negro, under arrest here, with the staying last Sunday of r year old Alice Woltman, rested to- day on a comparison of his finger prints with the bloody marks left on the sill of the window through which the murderer escaped from the Woltman home.
 That Smiths f1ngerprints were of the same classification as the tell tale marks was established yester- day by Emmett Evans of the Chi cago Bureau of Identification. Com plete comparison. however. waited an inspection of the sill itself, which was ordered sawed out and sent to Chicago.
 Meanwhile, a new theory of the crime was advanced by detectives who said Alice may have been kill ed by a person seeking her elder sister, Henrietta, 20, who was sleep ing in the same room. The assail- ant crept to the room where Alice slept with a younger brother and nearly severed her head from the body with a razor or knife without awakening the others.
 The detectives refused to reveal their basis for the mistaken identity theory Smith, who lives in the neighborhood, admitted they said, that he knew both Alice and Hen rietta, and had called at their home and was familiar with the arrange ment of rooms, but the Woltman family denied this. Smith denied any connection with the murder.
 still seeking a motive for the crime, authorities planned to ques- ton the Woltman family again.

 Tientsin, China, Sept. 19 P)-Indi- cations that Chang Hsueh-Liang, governor of Manchuria, is taking a hand in restoring peace to Northern China where the Peiping military movement against the Nanking gov ernment has been losing its grip, we're reported here today.
 The Mukden government was stat ed to have issued a peace manifesto and to be moving troops toward Peiping with the intention of taking over the northern capital and the important city of Tientsin, now being held by the northern militarists.
 Troops Cross River
 Fengtien, or Manchurian trops, this morning started toward Peiping and crossed the Lwan river in North ern Chihli south of the great wall.
 It was understood that 10000 Manchurian troops had been ordered to occupy the while railway to Peiping and to take over Peiping and Tientsin.
 The kuo Min news agency in New York last night quoted dis patches from Ranking indicating the imminent collapse of the Peip- ing coalition of military leaders which has been in the field for the past few months against the central government in Ranking.
 These dispatches also said that Chang Hsueh-Liang had issued or> .ders to mobilize troops inside the eleat wall of China\to support the central government, Hitherto, Chang has kept aloof from the civil warfare which has rent China.
 The news agency also said that Yen Hsi-Shan, once known as the model governor of Shansi and one Of the leading figures of the north ern coalition had announced that he must relinquish leadership of the northern government set up in the nationalist government in Ranking.

 If Yen should retire from the struggle against Ranking and return to his stronghold in the province of ShanSi, the bacl, of the northern movement would appear to be broll- en. The nostherners, during the first days of their revolt, scored numerous victories and for a time 1t appeared that Chiang Kai-Shek, lead of the southern government would go into eclipse.

Newport, R. l., Sept. 19 (UP)-- Sir Thomas Lipton leaned the weight of his S1 years against the rail of his steam yacht. Erin today as his gaze drifted across the 100 yards to where the last of the Shamrock: glistcned on a sea of unrutfled blue.
 For the first time since the au- t,Imn day $1 years ago when he sent his first sloop scudding across the Atlantic to challenge for the Amer ica's Cup there was no jest on his lips to alleviate the sting of defeat. After the Shamrock's first defeat he had laughed and talked of installing motors on his yacht. The second race saw him grin again and suggest that maybe the Shamrock needs d crew of girls" The third contest he blamed on. a parted halyard and called it a trick that the sea plays.

 Today he says nothing. Last night q routine statcment-one of those the best boat won" affairs-was given out, but the lit and humor of the Sir Thomas. of old was lacking. Guards stand at the gangway of the Erin today, forbidding anyone to board the vessel because Sir Thomas needs his rest. It is general knowI- edge that his four straight defeats have taken much out of the aged man who had pointed all his hopes on the pile of wood and canvas called Shamrock V.

 On the deck of houseboat near by stood Captain Ted Heard, skip per of Shamrock, who sailed the swells off Brenton's reef four times and never found victory. He is the highest-paid sailing master in the world, man whose name is magic along the English coast, and he had met defeat here at the hands of an amateur. As usual. he was silent.
 Heard Still Silent
 Before the series started Heard had nothing to say. He has main- tained that silence in the face or criticism of the race he sailed the first and second days and was equal ly unmoved by the accolade he re- ceived for his brilliant seamanship on the day when Shamrock took a glorious start, only to part her main halyard A minutes off the starting line.

 Justice Mintzer, however, was pleased, and told the jurors he thought the verdict was excellent.
 Taner testified that Mrs. Sarli's COW had fooled him. He had heard a suspicious rustling in the bushes outside his window, he said, and when he shouted a challenge the COW made no response. Alarmed, he fired point blank into the darkness. Then he went outside, to find Mrs. Sarli's COW mortally wounded.
