berries Have Been Solved.

Five men are now being held as sus-
poets in the 81 200 hold-up which was
staged late Thursday afternoon as two
employees of the McCrory and 10 Cent
Store at 416 Seventh street walked out
of the establishment on their way to
the bank with the days receipts.
Henry j. Mechlinkski, 26-year-old Bal
timore plumber and Thomas ELAN, "a
years old, of S street northeast, were
placed under arrest yesterday and are
being questioned at police headquarters
this afternoon by Detective Sergts.
Thomas j. Nally and Louis M. Wilson.
Several persons who were passing Nc
Crory'S as the hold-up took place we're
to see the men today in an effort to
connect them with the crime.
Arrested in Baltimore.
Mechlinkski is said to be q close friend
of John Irving, "a years old, and Elmer
Bennett, 20 years old, both OF Balti-
more, who are said by detectives to
have been identified by a number of
persons as having participated in the
robbery. ELAN was taken into custody
by Precinct Detective w. B. Satter-
thwaite of No. 9 station after Shoot
ing in the 1000 block of Third street
northeast Saturday night.
Mechlinkski was arrested by Balti-
more police at his home early yesterday
and was returned here for questioning
by Detective Sergt. H. K. wilson.
Irving and Bennett contend that they
were in swimming near Baltimore at
the time of the robbery and did not
leave the beach until 10 o'clock Thurs
day night. However, three colored taxi
drivers and Southwest druggist have
identified them as having been in
Washington that night.
I the face of this Identification, and
the fact that Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Put
nam of 103 Eighth street southeast
pointed out Irving as one of the men
they saw drive away from McCrory's
after the hold-up, Detectives Nally and
Wilson are confident they have at least
two of the four bandits in custody in

SILLY FLY HABIT PROMPTS WORKER
TO INVENT INGENIOUS APPARATUS
Trap Based Desire Soar After Inspecting Bait May
Bring Laborer Riches.

Domenco Caputo's fly trap is founded
on the supposition that the fly who
walks into a fly trap because of the
bait insists on flying out again.
Caputo hopes to patent the apparatus
itself. The bait. he said. is matter
of individual choice. Personally, Caputo
prefers fish heads.
Learned of Flies in Naples.
Caputo learned something of flies In
his native city of Naples, Italy He has
built traps for them since, but none so
good as his latest.
The fly. Caputo said. can scent the
bait long way, and comes quickly. He
then walks under the edge of Caputos
trap investigates the bait, and flies up
ward IN a dizzy circle.
That's where Caputo's mechanical
ingenuity comes in. Circling upward,
the f1y's head strikes a screen dome.

sible from the bait, and there finds

vehicular traffic found in Washington.
washington is revealed, says the COM
mittee. as "a community of distinctly
more than normal automobile owner
ship Washington has registration
ratio as shown by table submitted by
the investigators, of three persons Per
car, which is lower than any other city
in the group selected for comparison,
and is much lower than Baltimore and
Buffalo. The number of persons per
automobile, according to registration,
in the cities in the group are given as
follows Baltimore, ST; Boston, %:
Buffalo, 36: San Francisco 40; ST.
Louis, 4. and Washington, 3.
One of the factors that contribute TO
the large number of cars in Washing
ton, the committee says, is that this
city has mo large mass of low-paid in
dustTial labor such as is found in many
cities on the Atlantic seaboard" The
population contains very large pro-
portion of Government employees, and
it is declared that even the lowest
ranks have a certainty in compensation
which is not enjoyed by employees OF
similar class in commercial or indus
trial occupations"
Auto Ownership Growth Rapid.
The growth in automobile ownership
since 1924, says the committee, has
been regular and rapid. 1t draws the
conclusion from the facts at hand that
unless there are basic changes which
are not now manifest there is every
reason to believe that the number of
automobiles in use in Washington will
increase with regularity, as they have
in the past, though perhaps at a re-
duced rate.
"Under any conditions" says the
committees report. sit is proper to con-
clude that the number of cars in use
in 1910 and in 1850 will be far greater
| than the present, and that the problem
| of terminal facilities will be greatly
intensified in the future rather than
lessened.n

ten as Olson came in. Olson was using more caution towards the end of the round and consequently going slower
 Manila stopped Olson in the third round He opened up on his fighting and held his own in the clinches. Olson was still landing enough blows to let Manila know he was there, but the man from Ketchikan was sending home the hardest blows. Both men were wearing down and going slower. Clinches were becoming more nu- merous.
 The fans were gepOing t.leir mon eys worth. There was no idleness this far, and none to the end of the scrap. Manila appeared to have more of his original reserve than did Olson, although the Soldier was by no means worn out. Hcw- ever, Olson still showed more speed than his slower opponent. Manila got in some mighty strong licks in this frame, and made some success full dashes at Olson.
 Olson Comes Back
 Olson came back strong in the fifth. Joe held himself in check pretty well this round and made few rushes for his opponent.
 Olson continued to take the ag- gressive as he had been doing in the previous four frames.
 The sixth was a virtual repeti- tion of the fifth. First one and then the other would land a se- ries of good solid blows. The fans were yelling lustily for first one and then the other fighter The boys were slugging at the bell. Sperling gave them a draw after reading the judges slips. Ol- son weighed in at l55 and Manila at 165. Sa The semi final was a weak affair Jimmy Moore and Sailor Olson each at ITO pounds, were appar- ently not in particularly good con- dition. Added to this was the fact that both missed repeatedly Moore failed to show his usual speed and power. Never too strong a hitter, he kept his packers in suspense by failing to tear in as he has in his other scraps.

 Sammy Nelson and Ben Wright fought a pretty four rounds to a decision for the former in the second preliminary It was a fast scrap. Nelson was slow getting started, but when he did he was too quick for his opponent. Referee Billie Franks, who pushed the scrappers apart in the two first bouts, read the judges slips wrong and called it a draw, which was popular A moment later he an- nounced that Nelson had won.
 A decision over Pete Villardi was given Kid Roberts after four rounds. The first two were about even but Roberts opened up in the last two and by the end of the fight was well ahead of his opponent.
 No Special Event
 The scheduled special event be- tween Slugger Weaver and George Seman failed to take place, as Se- man did not show up at the arena. Weaver was awarded the bout.

Manila and Olson Stage Great Six Round Fight
 Thursday Evening

Soldier Olson, of Chilkoot Bar racks, and Joe Manila of Ketchikan fought slashing, tearing six-round fight to a popular draw in the main event of the American Legion smoker last Thursday evening in A. B. Hall.
 It was one of the finest head liners that the fight fans have JcrLap5 ever seen in Juneau, and the crowd appreciated the bout. Ol- son was the favorite with the fans, and took the aggressive throughout. Manila fought steady battle, land- ing as hard blows as did Olson, and scoring most on the in-fight- ing.
 Olson opened the first round with a terrific burst of speed and liter ally poured his mitts on Manila. Joe was taking them, but many of them sent to the head landed on Manila's arms and gloves. He had BOOu Sudlu AOA liio AiCau oAAu chest. The Soldier was taking a few solid ones himself, but was landing more than he received.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Gales, driv-

lashed and frosted the great lakes

heavy toll Of life, sinking at least
two ships and giving the section its
first taste of winter.
At least three persons, and prob
ably seven, were drowned when the
stone barge Salvor, with fourteen
men and women aboard, sank off
NIuskegon in Lake Michigan.
Seven of the crew we're saved by
heroic efforts of coast guards or
were washed ashore, alive, saved by
their life belts.
Risking their own lives, Captain
Charles H. Mohr and his crew of
the steamer William Nelson rescued
the entire crew of seven men aboard
the lumber schooner Our Son, which
disappeared and was believed lost.
A number Of boats on the lake
had not been heard from.
With the storm. which sent
