FARNELL CO. the town offering substantial reward a for capture the bandits and that he would take that matter up with the Town Beard. lle also said that he intended sending out notices at once the volunteer firemen who were organized into vigilance committee during the crime epidemic last rear to hold themselves in readiness for a call to go out after the bandits.

Sgt. Halloway of the State Police makes 110 bones of the fact that catching these bandits is a big job. In fact he said that when the men return from the State Fair they will make a good try at it. He did not predict success. "They are an uncanny bunch." he said.

"During the last epidemic of holdups on Long Island we tried to lend the bandits into a trap. Night after night we sent out a motorcar carrying two troopers, one dressed as a male civilian and the other disguised as a woman. These fellows went out their way time and again to invite a holdup, but nary a stick up did they raise reports came in 0 fother people being held up." Inadequate State Police Force. The sergeant said that the drafts made for the State Fair left only four or five men to patrol all Long Island, but at best he does not expect that Troop will be able to assign more than a dozen men for patrol duty on the Island after the fair. "You he said, "our troop only has about 40 men for patrol duty, and they have to cover between 6.000 and 7,000 square mites from Poughkeepsie down to the Bronx.

Orange and Rockland counties on the other side of the river and Long Island besides. So you can see what we are up against." The holdup of the Butler store manager at Cold Spring Saturday night made a record of seven known holdups for last week and several attempts that failed. As has already been pointed out, the record is necessarily incomplete, because many people victimized by the bandits have not bothered to report to the authorities, believing it not worth while. about bandits mixed with horse It was interesting to note the gossip talk at Smithtown horse show Saturday afternoon. Here were congregated scores wealthy folk, practhan man heard to remark tically all of them' motorists.

Sportsman Favors Hanging. Another sportsman was heard to declare that shooting them was too tame, and that the first one caught should be hanged to the nearest tree or telegraph pole and his body left there as a warning to others of his clan. Supervisor Hiram R.

Smith, chairman of the Nassau County Board, said today that the Board had appropriated $20,000 to the Sheriff for police work. Sheriff Smith said this was true and that he was spending the money to good advantage. He said he had plans for putting a stop to the outlawry, but because of the nature of his plans could not give them out for publication. Meanwhile the falling off in motor traffic on Long Island at night is very noticeable. A tally was kept on one road last night--that from Amityville to Huntington, and whereas it has been customary meet anywhere from 25 to 50 cars on a night trip across this road, only eight were met by actual count last night.

And the observer adds that they were traavel. ing at a rate that showed they were taking no chances. Observers also report the absence of spooning couples in cars parked along the little used roads--heretofore a frequent sight. These couples have been victimized by the bandits frequently. Two such couples were.

seen last night on New York between Huntington Station and Jericho turnpike, which is quite a busy thoroughfare. GLASS MISQUOTED HIM. SIMS ASSERTS Denies He Discouraged an American Merchant Fleet. Washington, Sept. 19-Declaring that Senator Carter Glass of Virginia was mistaken quoting him as sayling in a conversation in London that the United States ought not to undertake the development of a merchant marine of its own, Rear Admiral William S.

Sims, in a letter to the National Merchant Marine Association made public here today, explained that what he did say was that with the present restriction of our shipping laws it would be very difficult for our country to develop a merchant marine commensurate with our needs. The statement was in reply to a letter asking if the Admiral had been correctly quoted by the Virginia Senator in a recent speech in the Senate. ate. In his Senate speech Senator Glass was quoted as saying: "When I was abroad in 1918, Admiral Sims, much to my amazement, told me in London that he did not think that the United States ought to undertake the development of a merchant marine of its own. He thought that field of activity should left to Great Britain, saying that the British were our kinsmen, bone of our bone and blood of our blood.

and might be relied on to come to our defense in case of war; that they were natural seamen and we knew nothing about it. Besides he added, it would require a great subsidy to conduct a merchant marine and the American people were inherently opposed to subsidies." In his reply to the Marine Association Admiral Sims wrote in part: "Just how far this is from what I ever have or could have thought of the merchant marine, you may judge' from the fact that the Navy of the United States would be of very little value as a defense of the United States and our possesions if it were not for the merchant marine."

SEE ONLY FAILURE IN GERMAN BORROWING TO PAY INDEMNITY Berlin Financial Leaders Say Problem Is Too Big Agree on Showing Effort to Meet Terms (By Cable to The Brooklyn Eagle and Phila. Ledger; Copyright, 1921.) Berlin, Sept. 19-The offer of certain financial, industrial and agricultural magnates to furnish the foreign securities necessary to pay the next reparation instalment is overshadowing even the Bavarian question in public. interest. But after scanning the scheme more closely, many of the best German financial authorities predict its failure, Among those made Cassandra's, Franz Urbig, director of the Dicontegesellschaft, is perhaps the most noted.

After explaining that the Versailles Treaty is at the bottom of all the evil of present times, Herr Urbig said: "All such schemes as that proposed are bound to fail in view of the gigantic size of the problem. The Old World today lives under a political dictatorship and a Communistic heresy from which it must free itself. There are four fundamental conditions on which rests the possibility of the world's economic resuscitation; first. the reduction of the reparation demands to a sensible size and the elimination of all forcible military measures to compel payments; second, removal of all obstacles which, like solid walls, have been everywhere against the interchange of the world's commerce and which removal would also serve to allow the rate of exchange to recover its balance the world over; third, the reconstruction of the eastern states, and especially of Russia, which must be enabled to resume their part in the world's scheme as providers of food for the rest of Europe, and fourth, a reform in the conditions of the labor, which in Germany must contribute more toward cheapening production and lessening the state burdens. "Although I am absolutely pessimistic regarding the scheme, I would not discourage it because it will at least prove to all Germany's good will to fulfill her obligations before the final collapse has convinced the Entente of the impossibility of the Versailles Treaty." Among the latest schemes reparations money is a plan to raise a private gold loan by pledging shares of stocks, factories and real 'estatein short, everything that has more than paper value.

This plan was first mentioned about ten days ago at a meeting of directors the Deutsche Bank. Such men as Stinnes, Krupp, Count Henkel, Donnersmark, Thyssen and others, as the captains of industry are called here, promised their aid; and even some of the more intelligent Junkers indicated their willingness to help the plan along and try to hammer the advantage of the scheme into the heads of the Prussian landlords. FATHER CAPORASO 35 YEARS A PRIEST Celebrates Anniversary of Ordination at High Mass. The Rev. Louis M.

Caporaso, pastor of the the R. C. Church of Our Lady of Charity, Dean near Schenectady yesterday observed the twentyfifth anniversary of his ordination by holding high mass in the church. The "jubiles" program consisted of a special musical program rendered by Miss Anna Dillon, soprano soloist, and an augmented choir. The Rev.

James Lynch, pastor of St. Martin of Tours, preached the anniversary sermon. Speaking in both English and Italian, he eulogized "Father Louis" as the celebrant is affectionately called by his Italian parishioners, for his untiring efforts in behalf of Our Lady of Charity. Father Caporaso was born in Montesarchio, Italy, 48 years ago, and educated for the clergy in the Seminary of Benevento. He was ordained on Sept.

18, 1886, at the age of 23, after a. special dispensation had been ohtained for him. He came to this country at the time when Italian immigration was very heavy and worked as a missionary. In 1904 he became pastor of Our Lady of Charity. His "church" then was an old stable, the upper part of which he used for a rectory, at 1663 Dean st.

His parisioners were a few Italians. After four years, the priest had the present stone building at 1665 Dean st. erected. It was dedicated by Bishop McDonnell on April 26. 1908.

Two years ago a new parish house, at 1657 Dean was dedicated. The church has now more than 3.000 parishioners and its property is valued at $25,000. Father Caporaso's parishioners will further celebrate his jubilee by holding a block party in his honor on the "church block" next Monday evening.

Nostrand Arthur Cawley, 17, of 2082 Nostrand and Edward McNally, 19, of 4510 Ave. M. were arrested on a charge of burglary. The youths were noticed early yesterday morning on the roof of the onestory building at 1251 Flatbush occupied by Arnold Brothers, haberdashers, and a woman telephoned the police. A cordon was stretched around the block and the youths were located in the cellar at 2604 Bedford ave.

They made their way to the roof, roof, where they were seized. In the Flatbush Court they were held in $5.000 bail each for examination tomorrow. The police say many silk shirts were found in McNally's home. CASTORIA IA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signature of (By the Associated Press.) Tokio, Sept. 19-Japan should insist on discussing at the Washington conference late this autumn not only questions regarding the Far East, but also matters affecting the American coast, including Mexico and also tralia, says Viscount Takaaki Kate, president of the Kensei-Kai, or opposition.

party in a statement issued here. The withdrawal of fortifications from all islands in the Pacific, the neutralization of the Panama Canal, the removal of limitations on coastwise trade throughout the world and the settlement of racial discrimination on the principle of the co-existence of mankind and the spirit of justice and humanity should be ineluded in Japan's proposals at the conference in the opinion of the tional Policy Investigation Association, organized to educate the public concerning the conference. Would Respect China's Sovereignty. KATO RAISES NEW ISSUES TO DISCUSS AT FAR EAST PARLEY Head of Japanese Opposition Wants Matters Affecting U. S.

Coast Included. In addition to the above demands, the Association believes self-defense armaments should be reduced to the minimum. The organization also urges that the sovereignty and integrity of China should be respected, and that all her customs rights should be restored. It holds that the spirit of the Siberian people to govern themselves should be recognized, and that the "open door" should be inaugurated in all countries touching the Pacific. The army and navy advisory delegates going to the Washington Conference will sajl on the steamship Korea Maru, on Oct.

1. The Jiji Shimpo says that if the Japanese military authorities insist that this country must maintain an army of 21 divisions, they must be prepared to give a satisfactory answer to the Powers represented at Washington when questioned as to the reasons for such a large army. Defends 21 Demands on China. Japan should adhere to the 21 demands she sent to China, and should insist upon an agreement on all the other engagements of that country, says a resolution passed by the Political Committee of the Kensel-Kai, or opposition, party. M.

Wakatsuki, manager of the party, and member of Okuma Cabinet, which concluded the treaty embodying the 21 demands, has issued a statement in defense of that convention. He declares that if Japan had territorial ambitions she could have seized part of China during the war instead of arranging a treaty designed to secure the economic development of China and Japan. "An ultimatum to China is unavoidable," the statement declares, "because China has cancelled matters previously agreed to, Despite the denunciation of the treaty abroad, it was the means of preserving peace in the Far East." Japan in principle is ready for 2 complete examination of all nffairs connected with China, according to information reaching the Associated Press. Responsible Japanese declare that all trade and other engagements or commitments are included, providing such engagements affect the interests of other powers in China. Japan is willing, it is said in the same quarter, for examination of the "21 demands' agreement, provided its validity is not questioned, and argument is not raised that the treaty was consummated by force.

It is understood Japan would insist, under the provisions of that treaty, on the right to renew leases in South Manchuria. "Our great aim," said one Japanese, "is the securing of the opening China for trade and residence, so that our people and other peoples do business in the interior. If China is thrown open, like Japan, to world, this country, for one, would not find it necessary to secure leased. territories in which to engage in the commerce so necessary to our growing population." As an indication of Japan's good faith he cited the action of the county in turning over to the Chinese consortium previously acquired loan rights in Manchuria and Mongolia, while the latest. proposals regarding Shantung, which also figured in the demands' agreement, showed Japan was reasonable.

He declared that it China declined to enter negotiations with Japan over Shantung, Japan would certainly refuse to discuss Shantung, "at Washington or anywhere else." EVELYN NESBIT HAS FOUR MEN ARRESTED Charges They Annoyed Her in House Where She Lives. Four men were arrested early today on charges of disorderly conduct on the complaint of Evelyn Nesbit. The men described themselves as Joseph Daly, 24, of 423 W. 44th James Dunn, 25, of 769 9th John Wardner, 28. of 450 W.

54th and William Hayes, 23, of 732 11th all of Manhattan. The former wife of Harry Thaw said that she was alone last night in her apartment at 235 W. 52d Manhattan, save for her two wire-haired terrier dogs. Her 10-year-old son had gone with Fannie Brice, actress, wife of Nicky Arnstein, to the latter's Long Island home. On the ground floor of the 52d st.

address Miss Nesbit conducts a tea room which was recently broken into by burglars who carted off silverware and poultry valued at $250. Miss Nesbit's dogs began barking when a taxicab with the four prisoners drew up in front of the building. This awakened Miss Nesbit and she went downstairs to the vestibule where. she alleges. she was seized by Daly, who, pressing her against the wall, made an improper remark.

Proposals were made by others, according to Miss Nesbit, and then the prisoner, Wardner. came alorez and said: "Come on. Be a good sport." Miss Nesbit cried "Beat it! The house is on fire!" and fled to the street. The four men also ran from the building and got into the taxicab. which was driven off by Hayes.

Miss Nesbit's cries attracted a patrolman who did not arrive in time, however, to overtake the cab. Miss Nesbit went back to her apartment and shortly thereafter the taxi returned. patrolman asked the what they wanted and one replied "It's none of business." They pitched into the policeman, who had a lively time until another patrolman arrived and helped subdue the prisoners. At the W. 47th st.

station Detective Kelly stated that there had been a number of similar instances reported when men forced their way into apartments of women in the vicinity and robbed them of cash and jewels.

Sheriff's Quest Vain, If Bandits Don't Kill You, Get Their Number, Says Nassau Sheriff Sheriff Smith of Nassau gave 4 out number of rules for people held up. He also announced that he had reorganized his county policing sys. tem in hopes of being more success.

ful in making arrests, The rules, some of which smack of the West that was wild and wooly, are as follows: 1. All persons meeting bandits please telephone Garden City 1000 immediately, 2. Get license numbers of suspicious cars and report to sheriff. 3. If you are not killed during the holdup, get the license number of the highwaymen's car.

4. Don't stall car or get out unless unavoidable. 5. Keep to the main roads where traffic is heaviest. 6.

Be very, very wary. The State troopers assigned to Long Island are going to make a special drive to catch the gentleman bandits who have been terrorizing folks on Long Island--when they get back from Syracuse State Fair tomorrow or the next day, This statement was made today by Sgt. Halloway at the headquarters of Troop White Plains. The Long Island troopers are part of Troop K. "Those fellows (the bandits) know that we had to send all but four of our men to the State fair a week said Sgt.

Halloway, "and they have been taking advantage of the situation. We expected to have about a dozen men back on Long Island today, but the rain Saturday made it necessary to postpone the motor races at the State fair until today and our men had to stay over." Meanwhile, banditry on the Island goes merrily on. About midnight Saturday, while Deputy Sheriff Biggs of Huntington was in another part of the township watching for a bandit car, and while Sheriff Smith and his men at Mineola were patiently waiting for an alarm to come in and give them a lead on the bandits, two men, one tall and one short, both wearing black cloth masks and armed with automatics, walked into the James Butler up Frank O'Neill, the manager. He store at Cold Spring Harbor a and stuck was closing the store, Not So Polite This Time. The bandits, who have been described as "nice, polite chaps" by some of their women victims, were not so cordial toward O'Neill.

"Back into that room and be quick about it, if you value your hide," commanded one of them gruffly as they forced O'Neill into a storeroom at the rear of the store. There, he says, the tall one held a gun on him while the short one went through his pockets, relieving him of his own roll of $55 and a large roll that belonged to the store. Then, while the big fellow still kept him covered, the other went into the store and rifled the cash register of $50. Warning O'Neill that if he made an outcry they would return and kill him, the bandits slipped out of the store and through a side alley. A moment later, he says, he heard them going away in a motorcar.

O'Neill then grabbed the telephone and sent in a call for help that was relayed to Sheriff Biggs. The latter quickly organized a posse of armed deputies, who scoured the roads about Huntington and Cold Spring until dawn Sunday, but found no trace of the bandits. Field Favors Offering Reward.

(By the Associated Melilla, Morocco, Sept, 19 The Spanish troops concentrated in the Melilla region for the operations against the rebellious Moroccan tribesmen number approximately 60.000. AIL branches of the service are rapidly becoming acclimatized and settled to the hardships of campaigning. Frequent night marches as supporting columns to supply parties, consisting mostly of members of the foreign legion and natire troops have instilled the most cently arrived Spanish troops with the necessary alertness for fighting among the rocky and pathless hills.

For some days before the Spanish offensive began the troops were anxjous to advance, but this was delayed by General Berenguer, the high commissioner, until everything necessary to a successful advance was available. Munitions, tanks, airplanes, lorries. field and mountain guns and equipment of all kinds have been arriving daily in large quantities for some time, and virtually evedything was ready when the advance was ordered. The emplacements for the Moroccan guns in the hills and ravines about Gourougou are undergoing constant change. Whenever the Spanish gunners spot the Moroccan positions and drop shells anywhere in the vicinity, the Moroccans immediately shift the gun emplacements.

The number of Moroccans in the hills around Gourougou apparently has been reduced and they are now estimated to number only 500 determined fighters. Parties have been sent into the interior to rouse tribesmen who up to the present have not participated in the fighting. Natives say that Abd-el-Krin, the Morocan chieftain, after offering as much resistance as possible in the Gourougou area, does not intend to make another stand until the Spanlards reach the neighborhood of nual, where he has his headquarters.
