Railroad Whisky Ring
Bared in Indictments
Buffalo, N. Y.—Thefts of merchan
dise'from New York Central railroad
cars on an enormous scale resulted in
ifae indictment Thursday by a federal
grand jury of railroad detect!res. sa
loon keepers* merchants,-chauffeurs and
Tar>aers, who are ail aped to have mado
up a ring of thieves and “fences'’ that
handled poods worth $2,000,000 a year
lor the last three years.
Whisky and alcohol comprised the
chief loot of the ring during the year,
it was said by Peter J Bentley, of New
York, special attorney for the New
York Central. Since January, 1921, 23
robberies o' cars containing liquor
have been reported, and the claims on
:he3e total $750,000.
With the alleged connivance of rail
road police, detailed to guard the
.rains, yardmasters, switchmen and
other railroad employes, it was possible
‘or thieves to remove goods from a car
aadreeeal it, so that the looting would
not be discovered at once
The car selected, Bentley said, would
oe taken out of a. train and put on a
switch. After the car had been robbed
and the contents loaded into trucks,
:be seals would be replaced and the car
put on an outboand train with no
'ecord of the delay
This system,,be said, made it difficult
to locate the point at which the thefts
occurred, and it required many weeks
of work to point to the Buffalo and
other Niagara frontier points as the
orobable center of opvrations.
Among the men indicted were JohD
J. Maloney, a former chief of the New
York Central police foree here, and
several inspectors, lieutenants and
plain clothes detectives, who were dis
charged several months ago in tb©
early stages of the inquiries- Others
indicted were in the service of the rail
road until Thursday.
Because of the high prices and ready
market for the stolen liquor, it is said,
several alleged members of the ring
have piled up tidy fortunes. The bank
book of one switchman under arrest
shows a balance of $9,000. Another Is
said to have displayed $25,000, and has
been living in princely style.
Germany’s Losses in War.
Berlin.—Statisticians figure that the
Germans lost 46 men killed and 119
wounded every hour during the world
war. Germany’s losses total exactly
1,840.545 dead, and 4,246,779 wounded.
German military and civilian losses in
dead caused directly or indirectly by
the war is estimated at five million.

‘Green" Police Woman
Calls Out Whole Force
Toledo.- How to pull a police call
was a subject Miss Esther Ferguson,
Degress, appointed a police woman this
week, was giving close attention to
Saturday.
The new police woman made her first
arrest Friday night, towing three men
to the nearest police box. She r< ached
and palled the first handle her hand
I came to. When the patrol wagon did
not respond at once, she pulled it twice
again.- Two patrol wagons of blue
coats, two speed cars carrying eight
vice squad-detectives, a detective auto
mobile with' -six detectives aboard,
three detectives on foot and a motor
cycle policeman speeded to the scene,
and preparations were made to rush
men from precinct stations with riot
gUQS.
I The panting officers were as sur
prised as the new policewoman.
Declares American Business
Most Honest in the World
Washington.—American business is
the most honestly conducted institution
in the weld, according to H. G. Deni
son, of Heston, in an address here.
“Why,1' said Denison, “if Christ
were elected president of one of our big
railroads and the twelve apostles were
on the board of directors, it would sur
prise people how little change in the
management would take place.”
