JOSEPH WOmiAX DeotU Court St Car. livl-rdiM i $5,000 JEWEL THEFT AT SOUTHAMPTON IS GUARDED BY SECRECY Diamond Bracelets Renorted Stolen From Mra. Howard C. Dickinson. Topping the ar(e number of Jewel robberies on various narls of Long Island recently came the report yesterday of robbery st the home or Howard C.

Dickinson at Southampton. As In most of the other Instances the luteal report la clouded In secrecy. As far as can be learned, a diamond ring and two diamond bracelets valued at $5,000 and highly prised family heirlooms are said to have neen itol from Mrs. Dickinson's Jewelry bo In her wardrobe. The Jewels, according to the report, disappeared some tliua, between the death or Mrs.

Agnes Wag-staff Dickinson, mother of Mr. Dickinson, on Aug. 11. and four days later, when she was buried. Chief of Police O.

Lane of Southampton yesterday declared that no report of the alleged robbery had been made to him and that all he knew about the affair was that a claim had been lodged by the Dickinsons with an Indemnity company for a loss. Mrs. Dickinson refused to discuss the report yesterday. It Is said that only a fraction of the Jewelry in the Jewel box was taken, indicating that either the supposed thief was Interrupted In his work, or that he entertained a particular craving for the stolen. The missing bracelets are said to have contained more than thirty diamonds each, one of them having a particularly attractive flexible setting.

The diamond ring was a large one. If stolen, the thief apparently took advantage of the grief and preoccupation of the Dickinson family as the result of the death of the elder Mrs. Dickinson. Only a few weeks ago a Jewel mystery at Southampton became known when notices were ip.osted throughout tho colony of the loss of gems either by Mrs. John Alden Talbot or her mother, Mrs.

Peabodv. During the same week Mrs. Leonard Thomas was the victim of a $5,000 Jewel robbery. BANKER AND POLICE OFFICER INDICTED IN NATIONAL RUM PLOT Former Loaned Bootleggers $50,000, Latter Cot $10,000 for Protection, Is Charge. Chicago, Sept.

3 Carl M. Behrens, vice president of the Lincoln Trust and Savings Bank; Police Lieutenant James Van Natta and five other men were indicted today by a Federal Grand Jury in connection with an alleged nation-wire liquor ring. Behrens is charged with loaning to the bootleggers. The Indictment, which charges conspiracy to violate the Volstead act, also names Edward Groeninger, Rob ert Fabrlnl, Milton M. Fox and Hugo and Thomas Weiss, the latter two sa loon keepers.

Groeninger is. charged with having paid a ederal omcial $15,000 for protection in the delivery of $400,000 worth or liquor from Cincinnati to Chicago. Behrens is charged with loaning the $50,000 on unsecured promissory notes. and in return was to receive $3 profit on eacn ot tne cases of whisky in the shipment. Lieutenant Van Natta, the Govern ment charges, received $10,000 for po lice protection, which he was to fur nish for delivery of the linnnr to Chicago saloons.

The linuor was niir- chased from Freedman Richards of Cincinnati on bona fide permits obtained from the Federal agents who Is saia to nave accepted the $15,000 bribe. The shipment was routed for delivery at a terminal in Lieutenant Van Nat ta ponce district. iveuy, a druggist, who claims his name was forged on the permits, along with that of Hubert Howard, former prohibition director, told Government agents of the alleged plot. The cur- ioua or liquor was confiscated when it reached Chicago. WIND STORM WRECKS BAY STATE HOMES Does Crat Damage in 3 Towns.

Lightning Flashes in Sunshine Woburn, Sept. 3 A terrific windstorm, accompanied by lightning, hail and rain, did much damage in this city, Stoneham and Melrose today. The storm lasted only a few minutes, but buildings were demolished, several houses were struck by lightning and the rain and hail did much damage to crops. Wind lifted a building on Salem Nfoburn, occupied by the Riley Leather Company, from its foundation and carried it 20 feet. The roof landed In a flefd where eight employees were rounding up sides of leather which had been blown away, and Injured three of them seriously.

They were taken to a hospital, where it was found that Alonzo Bon-ney had both legs broken, Richard Itedfern had one leg and two ribs fractured, land James Cannon, who apparently had come in contact with the steam plant, wus badly burned. The shipping room nt the plant of the Murray Japanning Company, a short distance away, was unroofed and the debris was blown across a field to the woods, a distance of 100'feet. A dwelling in the same neighborhood wus badly damaged. The police ambulance and fire apparatus answering hurry calls found their way blocked by big trees felled by the wind. In Stoneham many trees and wires were blown down-and crops suffered from i hull and rain.

The Inveatt-ttation ia made niH-ewary, the letter explain, because of a lack of understanding of the provisions of the Income tax law. A mystic aerial number. J. like a glorified tele phone number of a party wire, is typewritten at the top. and the words, in large capitals, "John T.

Itafferty. Internal Revenue Collector for the Eastern District of New Tork." at the bottom. Rarely does Mr. Cltiien come with hie letter alone. The matter ia too aerloua to be treated thus lightly.

He calls on his State Senator or Assem blyman, or he gets the Alderman to come with him; or at least the third cousin of the second deputy clerk of the magistrate's court in his district-somebody with an official standing. Thus to some extent fortinea, ne approaches Room 412. On the way he thinks of the various possibilities of his having made an erroneous statement on his return. He mentally adds up the items of his Income and subtracts the deductions. He recalls that he never was much good at arithmetic that's probably where he made a mistake.

He recalls that he swore to the truth of the statements made herein, and the prospects of prosecution for perjury begin to loom up before him. Of course he meant perfectly we'l. but will the Government of the Fnited States of America and the Internal Revenue Collector for the Eastern District of New York believe lilm when he says so? There was a man lived around the corner who went to Jail for a year for perjury. In Room 412 he finds a number of offlclal-lookintr personages. One might be the Prosecuting Attorney and that other one there looks like a marshal or some other arresting of ficer, wnitlmr for business.

It appears that Mr. Raffertv himself Is not there, but Denuty Collector George Ellperin nresntly takes the citizen in tow. Mr. Eilperln is ordlnarllv a jolly sort of person, but in his official capacity he apiiears-anything but encouraging. Mr.

Hark-eas, according to tatrm-nta rMer4ay by mra rlM to the Transit Commiaauoa watch. pu preparing plan for the readjust ment HanMI throughout tho ritr.

Tho liarkneaa treatise ss prepared for tho A merles Bar Association and before that gruup at Ha meeting in Cincinnati last week. It has since been published in pamphlet form and daftributed widely among those Inter ested In tho subject. It ts tho first authoritative statement made by any of the Transit Commissioners since they began their Job last May. and ia legarded as a forerunner of the flrst i port of the Commissloi which Chairman MrAneny has said would be made about the middle of this month. Word that the unified system plsn.

strongly advocated by Harkneaa, had found favor among the tranait com panies mas welcome to those who are working on the plan. It was slated thst this favor was particularly strong among the managers of the Inter- borough Consolidated, the holding company for the 1. It. and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, holding concern for the local lines in this boro. These holding companies represent the financial Interests behind the systems.

It is axiomatic in the Tranait Commission as It had been for years In the old Public Service Commissions thst It is alwsys the mon eyed Interests rather than the operat ing heada that must be brought into lino tor tho success of any negotiation. During the dual subway negotiations the old commission always found that It could not get final answer on any proposition from the operating execu tives. The last word was spoken ny the financiers. So that the word now that these interests are favorable to negotiations on the unified system scheme is cheering to the commission. If the drift In that direction crystallizes.

It will be of immeasurable assistance In put ting through a reorganisation plan-In some quarters It Is regarded, as tho one thing that would assure success. The Transit Commission has plenary power to. compel acceptance of1 Its plan by the city through court action, and by means of that power could compel this participant to accede to Its demands. But the un-dcr the Constitution, was powerless to give the commission the same breadth of power over private interests at stake. It Is admitted that these Interests must be dealt with by negotiation, Companies See Fare Incroa.sc Glimmering.

The attitude of the money. interest is said to be dictated by the present downward trend of prices and the temper of the public, which has brought a realization that the companies cannot carry out their plans if a year ago to force through a fare increase, and that their only hope for a stablizatlon of their securities Is to por reorganization at the hands of the commission. The newest point developed In Commissioner Harkness' treatment of the transit prohlem was a discussion of the possibility of a flexible fare. He pointed out, as stated in The Eagle more than a month ago, that the Commission in fixing values for a basis of transit reorganization had regarded the earning capacity of the lines under the 6-cent fare contracts as a limiting factor and that the value must be so fixed that a 5-cent fare would do in normal times, but said that this factor must be figured over a period of 10 years or more to get a fair average, and Indicated that provision might be made for increasing the fare in such times of financial trouble as followed the world war. But in return for such protection he said the companies should be ready, to accept concessions in contracts with the city.

"The companies took the franchises and contracts based on 5-cent fares," he said, "with the expectation large profits both from dividends and increases In the market value of securities. Most of the stocks were speculative to a high degree. The companies heretofore have Insisted on the rigidity of a 5-cent fare American urban traffic was based upon it, franchises had been granted and contracts let in reliance upon It and, therefore, it could not be disturbed. Thls, before the war was the companies, 'position. They, however, have changed their base and see now, not profit, but loss and possible disaster In a fixed rate of fare.

In they ask that the underlying basis upon which they entered the transit field he changed from risk to protection, their securities from a speculative to a stabilized character. With such a radical change it would seem that they themselves shpuld recognize the entire justice of requiring readjustment of their engagements with the public as expressed in outstanding franchises and contracts to accord with the new base. Keadjustment Involves Consolidation. "Furthermore, a readjustment necessarily involves the element of consolidation, for otherwise a flexible fare does not seem practicable. Relatively, the surface lines are much "worse off than the rapid transit lines and more in need of relief.

But an increased fare on the surface lines alone would drive the great part of their traffic to the rapid transit lines and leave them worse off than before. A similar raise of fare on the rapid transit lines would rive them more than they need ami therefore amount to overcharging the public using them." Harkness in his statement also came out flatly for the remission of taxes irnnait lines a nuhiect fnrppflst. ed by The Eagle several weeks ago. As pointed out in The Kagle then these total a burden of six or seven million dollars a year the tax bill of the I. R.

B. R. New York Railways and Third Avenue Railroad was $6,294,279.88 for the year ending June 30, 1920. "A large part of this taxation." said Harkness, "is imposed through the special franchise taxes, the theory of. which is that the companies should be required to pay taxes commensurate with the values of the rights granted by the public.

However just such a tax may be in principle, thn burden on transit operation is exceedingly heavy. "Moreover, the adoption of the principle of regulation ns exemplified In the Public Service Commissions has worked a change in the situation as it existed at the time the. special franchise tax was flrst enacted. The, better view is that the return to the public should be In service and not In taxation and if the revenues be come more than needed for adequate service, the proper remedy is a reduction In fares. At the present time, as the subway properties are owned by the city, the Interboro and R.

T. are substantially taxation in connection with the operation of, eity-owned properties, while the elevated and surface lines bear an ia-crenslngly heavy burden."

HASKELL SAILS WITH ORDINARY PASSPORT ON RELIEF MISSION Russian Expedition Head Lacks Diplomatic Credentials From U. S.

Government. The statement from Washington that the American relief to be distributed In Russia would not be under Its auspices was emphasized when Col. William N. Haskell yesterday sailed, heading the relief expedition of 18 members, without a diplomatic passport, on board the Olympic of the White Star Line. He has only the ordinary passport.

"It is different than when I was in South Russia for a year and a half where I was the high commissioner," he said, "and Inter represented the European southeastern republics at the Peace Conference. This time the only desire of the commission is to find out where food Is needed, examine the famine areas and act accordingly. No mission ever set out with a greater freedom of action." When he arrives in England Col. Haskell will confer with Walter Lyman Brown and will make his plans accordingly. Among those who went with Col.

Haskell were John A. Sel-lord, confidential secretary and secretary of the commission; Dr. Henry Beeuwke, a U. s. Army surgeon; ur.

Walter Taul Davenport and JJ. Lonergan. Dennis McSweeney, S. Saunders, port and terminal expert; Paul S. Clapp, David Barton Kinne, Edward Fox and Maj.

C. C. iff I Iff AH BOYS ON RECORD TRIP IN ANCIENT FL1YVER From Raton, N. to Brooklyn in "Junk Wagon" Worth $40. Frank II.

Clarke and Archie Morrison, 17-year-nld students at Mar. quand. on Friday completed a 10-day trip from Raton, N. In the worst looking flivver that ever faced the dust along the Turnpike of Time. When the trip was half over some one offered the lads $40 for the contraption o.

(full of bumps). The windshield is gone, the radiator cover and the top were lust in a spill at North Bend, and what Is left of the car holds together only because of the wonderful atomic theory that we have read so much about In recent months. The two boys left Katon on Aug. 21 out for a lark in the flivver, which had been given to them by a friend, Maj. Robert Edwards of New Mexico.

It wasn't much more than a group of machinery when they got lt, but a little tinkering soon had it In a condition that enabled it to move. The boys started for Denver, and went thence to Fort Morgan, where they turned their course to the East. It was going through Nebraska where the first trouble occurred. At North Bend the flivver flew over a sand bank and turned completely over three times. When it had been righted In the road many parts were missing.

In four hours the boys had it In running shape again, and were on their way. After five miles of going they discovered they had forgotten the chassis and had to go back after it. But a flivver is funny like that, the more that's missing the better It runs. From North Bend the boys made for Chicago, und then they started for Cleveland. On this side of Chi cago the roads were better, and old flivver part of her rust, part of her dust and the rest of her nothing at all, got into her A five-hour delay while fixing a broken drive shaft at Clinton, Iowa, was made up be twefn Cleveland and Buffalo.

Down through New Y'ork State the machine tore. She landed In Brooklyn at noon Friday. Since that hour Mbrrison Clarke and the flivver have been a center of attraction. The flivver at once became the most singular car In the street, and a Rolls-Royce was nothing to look at. The boys said they didn't start out to mnke a record.

When they strolled into The Eagle office yesterday they looked picturesque enough to have stepped out of a Remington. Both wore moccasins, black sombreros and khaki shirts. A white canvas over their flivver made it look like an old prairie schooner. They carried all of their provisions with them, and at night they camped along the roadside wherever they happened be.

Washington, Sept. 8 Protest against the Government's acceptance of He'nry Ford's offer for the nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals, was made today to Secretary of War Weeks by a commit-tee representing the Merchants Association of New York. An analysis of the Ford offer presented to Mr. Weeks by the committee purported to show that acceptance of the offer would entail upon the Government a loss of $164,000,000 in 100 years. This conclusion was based upon the claim that completion of the hydro-electric power plant would necessitate further expenditures by the Government amounting to $60,000,000, Instead of tho $28,000,000 estimated by Mr.
