TO SUSPECTED
GEM THIEF
Wife Held in $4,000
Bond After Jewels
Are Found Here

VI - ] WI ~ lSI -
In the Women's Bureau today
police were holding a young
night club dancer who stands
Loyalty by her husband in spite
of a prison record as the search
for him on jewel robbery charges
continued.
Police said the pair are con-
nected with a nationwide band of
jewel thieves.
The woman is Mrs. Eula May
Bennett. She was arrested Satur-
day. Her husband disappeared
shortly before police closed in on
the pair after they had been in
washington a week.
$4,000 Gems Found
Mrs. Bennett, who is %, is be-
ing held in default of $4,000
bond. Plans were going forward
for her arraignment in connection
with $4,000 worh of jewelry po-
lice say her husband left with a
friend in Washington before he
left town. Police would not dis
close the name of the friend"
Authorities who questioned the
girl, said that when arrested she
had in her possession only her
wedding ring, a watch and a
small pin. They were gifts of
her husband, she said. They said
Mrs. Bennett told them that her
husband is a jewelry salesman,
and that she knew nothing Of
any other of his activities.
Department Of Justice men are
working with local authorities on
the case, since it is believed that
a nationwide jewelry thief ring
has been uncovered.
Police are considering the theory
that the couple came to Washing
ton to dispose Of part Of the loot.
Called "GO-Betweens"
Inspector Frank s. w. Burke,
chief of detectives, said he did
not believe the couple were actual
thieves but acted merely as 60
betweens between jewel buyers
and the underworld.
Charges against Mrs. Bennett
were made yesterday with the re-
ceipt here of a telegram from
authorities in Miami, Fla, identi-
flying certain pieces Of jewelry
found in her possession as having
been stolen in Miami.
Mrs. Bennett told police her
husband was "a good man."
Bennett is believed to have
been with his wife in washington
until only a few hours before she
was arrested.
Jewels found in the possession
of Mrs. Bennett we're all costly.
One bracelet alone is valued at
5000. This was one Of the
pieces identified by Miami au-
thorities.
Other pieces Of jewelry seized
included platinum bands. wrist
watches, gold trinkets and ear
rings.
Inspector Burke advanced the
belief that New York is the head
quarters for the jewel ring. The
BennettS came here from New
York. They lived in downtown
hotel in Washington.
Inspector Burke has wired po-
lice officials of every large city
in the country. advising them Of
the Bennett arrest. He said he
expects many arrests" to follow
After hours of questioning. Mrs.
Bennett, who vent to Chicago to
take a job as a dancer when she
was 20 years old. remained nom
committal. The questioning con-
tinued until p. m. yesterday.
Mrs. Bennett told police she met
Bennett shortly after her arrival
in Chicago. Burke said the women
'fell, and fell hard" for Bennett
who has q number Of aliases and
who has served prison terms on
the Pacific Coast.

MEMORY OF WAR
NEVER LASTING
Horror Has Small Effect on
New Generations.

It Is not so long since war was
"outlawed" and the outlaw was os-
TRACKED. Even that mild and gentle
child named Neutrality was not
mentioned in polite or academic so
ciety. The slogan was not neutrality
In thought but peace in thought.
Now the outlaw is found not to be
dead, but lurking in the woods, and
1t is discovered that all nations Dor
der on the same forest. The youth
and some Of their elders contemplate
the future possibility of war by for
swearing any participation In it
when 1t comes. Veterans organiza
lions advocate legislation now tc
take the profit out of war-when II
comes. Scholars and students Of
peace begin to re-examine the utility
Of our traditional neutrality policy
as a device for keeping US out Of
war-when 1t comes.
Through 1t all drones the refrain
Of those who picture the horrors Of
the next war-the wiping out o.
cities from the air; newer and more
frightful gases; death rays. TIL,
same song was sung before 1911
and long, long before. 1t has neve
deferred nations from war, becaus,
1t acts, If at all, on the individual
and not on the mass, not on the ma
ton, not on the government.
Even for the individual it is to-
overwhelming and too remote to b.
grasped except by those in whom
touches and torments the chords o
personal memory. Soon a new cro]
has ripened. Those impersonal thing
known as governments respond NOR,
readily to the stern high calls Of ma
tional honor and prestige. The.
seek, often sincerely, the welfare O
their country. 1t is both a materia
and q spiritual welfare. Woul,
either be served by war today or OF
a near tomorrow?-Philip G. Jessup

June Has Lost Rank as
Popular Marriage Month

June, long considered the brides
month, isn't in the running with
July, August and September, the
registrar generals statistical review
of England and Wales indicates.
writes correspondent in the Wash
ington Post. More people get mar
ried in the third quarter Of the year
than at any other time, the review
shows. This has been the case ever
since the beginning of the Twentieth
century.
Even before the turn Of the CEN
fury June was not as great favor
lite of brides as had been supposed.
In the years preceding the dawn OF
1900 the most popular months for
weddings were October, November
and December. At least, this was
true in England and Wales.
Although the number of marriages
is gradually mounting, the birth rate
is steadily dropping, according to the
statistical review. In 1888 the birth
rate was only 14.4 per thousand pop
ulation, the lowest recorded for Eng
land and Wales.

Since the Amarillis had cleared New York,
she had never been reported or seen, and now
a couple of scarecrows were going to tell
him they.knew where she was
"Well,' Terry said. when he had finished.
The Greek was leaning back in his chair
watching Terry with broad grin Terry
looked at Finch. Finch said, "Do you see
why we want chu1"
Terry slipped his beer. 'You mean she's
sunk?"
You bet," said the Greek, land we know
where she is.''
1t sounded good "How did you find out?"
The Greek started to say something, but
Finch shut him up Then Finch said. I'm
givin' yu the dope cause we gotta do some
thing quick It's no use lyin' to yu. We're
broke - fiat. Listen, ever hear OF the Devlin
Dredging and Salvaging Corporation2"
Terry knew it was a big company operating
out of New York.
"Well, they got trawler on the way to the
Amarillis now"
Finch leaned back and lit cigarette. IF
you think I'm lying, check the sailings from
New York. She left today. She'll pick up
pontoons mebbe at Charleston, mebbe farther
down. With an outfit like that, they can
lift the whole boat. We don t need to do that"
How did they find out?"
Finchsaid, "Mebbe Drayton' 8 behind them;
mebbe some of the crew squealed"
Terry slipped his beer "You haven't told
me- how did sou find out?"
Finch took gulp of his beer. The two of
them had been running hooch into the Keys.
-Four days before, their compass had gone
"haywire' and they had been lost all night.
Evidently they had gone in circles, for when
morning came they were miles away from
where they should have been.
Finch had sighted land first and, to get his
bearings, had headed for bayou off the star
board beam. Hoping to sight house or some
sign of life, they had run up the bayou about
half mile when they sighted smoke rising
along the shore As they had gone farther
up, they had made out the figure of man
standing besidea fire on the beach. Apparently
he hadn't sighted them until then, for sud-
denly he started to run back into the brush.
Then as they watched, he returned. Wading
ashore Finch had found an old man in high
state of excitement
Finch had been suspicious at once. The
old man had ordered him off the island, but
Finch had refused to 60. He saw that the old
codger was trying to burn some ships gear,
and it seemed mighty strange. There were
some charred ribs on a life boat, part of
raft and life preserver. The old man had tried
to keep Finch away from the fire. but Finch
had knocked him down. Then he had kicked
the life preserver right side up.
"And what do you 'spose it read1" asked
Finch with grin. He didn't wait for an
answer. "Amarillis." )" he said
Terry wasn't impressed. The yacht might
have gone down fifty or hundred miles off
shore. He said as much.
But wait. The old bloke had started
yelling just that. He screamed that the
Anarillis amt anywhere near. No! She wasn't
anywhere near, but why was he burning the
stuff A three-hundred foot yacht didn't
founder at sea, not the way Drayton would
keep her in shape No, she'd have to hit a reef
in storm, then she'd 60 down quickly. Be-
sides, what about the hurricane in the Ba-
hamas?"

Higher-Priced
Car Demand
Expected

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-W. P
Chrysler, chairman of the board
of ChrySler Corporation, stated to
day that for the first time in five
or six years he looks for a much
larger market for automobiles in
the higher-price fields. He said:
"The next year for auto
mobiles which begins this time
two months earlier than hereto
fore, should be a better year for
the higher-priced lines Of cars
than any years in the recent
past.
This, however, will not be
at the expense Of the lower
priced cars. People all over the
world have come to recognize
the extraordinary transpOrta-
tiOn value Obtainable in the low
priced automobiles. 1 believe
this market will continue to ex-
pand.
"At the same time 1 believe
that conditions have been de-
velOping which will produce in
1896 a greater interest in and
demand for cars which, because
of refinementS in their appoint
ments, equipment and perform
ance, are more expensive to
build and therefore must be
sold at higher prices.
1.-TWO factors lead me to this
belief: First, people in all walks
of life and in various income
groups have come to be better
judges of motor car value and
to recognize that the industry
seeks to give outstanding value
in every price field; and, second
returning confidence that the
country is making its way to-
ward better times, which in like
periods in the past has been re-
flected in expenditures for more
than minimum requirements"

NEW 1895 HIGH
FORESEEN FOR
PRODUCTION

Barring unforeseen calamity
new highs are to be expected in
industrial production and security
prices before the end Of the year,
according to forecast by Bear,
Stearns & Co. Industrial pro
duction, as measured by the Fed
eral Reserve Bank index, should
exceed the high of July, 1893,
and should closely approximate
100 representing the normal aver
age Of industrial activity, the
firm says.
This conclusion is based upon
the facts of production and con-
sumption translated into demand
and supply. At the present time,
the aggregate of inventories of
goods and commodities is lower
than at any time in five years.
