STOLEN SLED FOUND
 BY BOY DETECTIVE
Complimented by Police for
 Running Thief Down

Agnes has her sled. Alban has his dollar Mrs. Rizauskas will have a Christmas gift and two young boys in the eastern section Of the city will explain how it all happened to Ser geant Michael J. Flynn of the de- tective bureau, and possibly to the judge in juvenile court.
 Agnes Lazicki lives at 367 Park street. The first real snowfall of the season yesterday brought vii sons of happy times with the slei. Unable 10 coast in the yard at her own home on Park street, she went 10 Chestnut street and coasted on the hill.
 Later she attended d meeting Of Troop l6. Girl scouts, where she is 3, patrol leader, at the Stanley Me morial church.
 During the meeting, the slo1 which was parked in the hallway of the church, disappered. Miss Eliz- abeth Fox, scout captain, reported the theft to Agnes guardian, who in turn reported it 10 Lieutenant Matthias Rival at police headquar- ters.
 Here is where Afban enters the picture. Alban Rizauslias is a. keen witted young man who lives at 16 John street. He hopes some day 10 become q great detective like Ser geants Feeney, O'Mara, McAvay. Ll- finger Flynn and others at police headquarters A short time before Lieutenant Samuel Bamforth retir- ed, Alban vas his guest one night on a tour of police headquarters,
 So his detective ability was called upon. He was offered S reward f he located the sled and brought th2 thief to justice.
 One hour after Alban started out. taking Agnes with him to identify tho missing sled, he located it by the simple process Of deduction. Be lievirg that d boy with a new sled is bound 10 have il out the first day he gets f, Alban went to the Chest
  session of small boy, took 1t away from him. obtained tho address Of the boy and his confession that his brother had taken the sled, and re- turned it to its Park street home.
 Later Alban and Agnes called upon Sergeant George C, Eilinger at police headquarters, reported the re- covery< of the sled and the identity of the thief. making what detectives s9id was the most complete report from an outsider they had ever re- vrived. Sergeant Michael Flynn was given the information and instruct cd 10 interview the boys who took the sled
 Congratulated on his detective ability. Alban, as he pocketed the dollar, remarked, NOW I can buy my mother a Christmas present.
 That's the way we like to get reports," said Sergeant Ellinser, they come in here with the job all cleaned up.'
 Pefore leaving. Alban. with per mission of Chief Hart. took Agnes on a tour of the cell room. and pointed out improvements made there since last time he visited the place. Where's the machine gun he demanded.

nulifying the whole waterpower act.
 The dismissal case thus lays the ground work for a contest about the whole theory of government regula ton. Western insurgent republicans, led by Senator Norris Of Nebraska author of the Muscle Shoals gov ernment operation bill, will he in the forefront of the fight. All have issu- ed statements denouncing Smith's 6 action.
 Tt is almost unbelievable" Nor ris said, that the first official art of the new power commission would be to remove the two men whose only offense has been 10 insist on common honesty in fixing of power rates. Because of their honesty the power commission has summarily and without hearing removed them from office"
 In his letter 10 Smith, Walsh said he was unable to interpret the chair mans action fin any light except as punishment of two devoted public servants"
 Differences "No Consequencc'
 Tt seems to me-" he wrote, "a matter Of no consequence whatever that differences had existed between the two gentlemen named and the executive secretary Of the commis- sion, who was widely charged with being unduly friendly to the privi- lege seeking power interests.
 Brookhart predicted a fight "the like of which this country has not recently seen"
 Marcel Garsaud, Claude L. Draper, other members of the new power comm ission, may be attacked along with Smith in the senate fight, since they acted with Smith in the com first meeting. The other two members have not taken the oath of office.
 Other senatorial comment in cluded;
 Senator Wheeler. democrat, Mont, If any further evidence were need ed that Smitr, Garsaud and Draper are tools of the power interests it has been furnished now. Of course I have not the slightest doubt that their action was taken at dictation of the White House"
