Moriarty And
 Bovine Held On Five Counts
Former Accused of Passing Rubber Money in Local
 StOres-Twenty-six Illegal Bills Found on Per! .. son of Mate-Chief Inspector Berry Due Here To-day

When first taken into custody Bovine and Moriarty raised n "squnwk" that the money had been planted on them by the de. tectives. As storekeepers trooped Into headquarters and identified the two men the complaints that their arrests were "frnme.ups" were sllenced.
 The two mon were taken into custody late Saturday afternoon after passing out the fake bills in north end stores, They made small purchases in each place and offered tho commercials in pay ment. As either Bovine or Mori- arty were known in tho places vis- ited the money was accepted with out comment or doubt. Later. how. ever, a second study Of tho bills revealed poor workmanship on the reverse side Of the grcenbacks. Tho ink used failed to take properly and there was a "smcnred" effect easily noticed. The face side was very neatly done, however, and q storekceper would be obliged to tuko two looks before his suspi- cions would be aroused.
 After Inspector Berry has had an opportunity to question the young men they will be taken be. lore '. $. Commissioner Harry A. Krasow for n hearing. Holding them for trial in tho U. $. district court on serious charges will be but a matter Of procedure. The chief aim of tho local police and the secreat service mon will be to learn where Bovine or Moriarty obtained tho Counterfeits,

I MURDERS MAR
n. !, YULET|DE

NEW YORK, Dec. IS G.N.S).
Seven murders in the greatest
outburst of brutal crime on
Christmas Eve cast a pail of
gloom today over holiday fes-
tivities in the metropolitan area.
Archbishop Leon Tourian, head
Of the Armenian Catholic Church
in America, was stabbed to death
before the Mortified eyes of the
congregation at Holy Cross Church
here.
Slashed mercilessly with knives
and then clubbed to death, the
mutilated body of Sarah Weiss,
15-year- high school girl, was
found in an isolated section of
the East Side. Detectives were
said to be on the track of her
asSailants, believed to be youth
full companions of the girl.
Josephine Woropay, 8, was
found strangled in Westchester
county. Her hands were bound
behind her back and her face
: pierced with an ice pick. Police
said they were on the trail Of
her assaulter, said to have been
q maniac.
Shot in the back by enemy
gangsterS, Able Volk, %, said to
be a kin of the recently imprisoned
Waxey Gordon, dared police to
capture his killers as he breathed
his last.

occurred during the day in Hobo

Pop Bliss, of Pigskin Fame,
Discovered On D. G. Job

His full name is Clifford D.
Bliss. He is bachelor. And he
thinks football today is a much
cleaner, more scientific game than
it was during his heyday.
Pop" admits that pigskin push
ing during the nineties consisted
principally Of "sluggin5 and dirty
work."
The game has changed COM
pletely, thinks Pop" except in
one respect. He says:
"The only thing that hasn't
changed is the feminine part
the girls are still around when
the whistle blows at game time"
No Substitutes
But there weren't quite as many
goods in the stands back in the
nineties as there are today. A
gate Of $4,000 people, even for
the Yale-Princeton game in New
York, was considered large.
Still stranger is the fact that
important teams like those of
Yale and Harvard would play an
entire season without USING a sub
stitute more than once or twice.

Meanwhile, milk deliveries were

quiet following a declaration by
Superintendent of Police Joseph
Lestrange that violence would be
thwarted, even if it were necessary
to call out the entire police force.

remaining on strike, those origi-
nally involved were: bakery drivers,
