BRITISH POLICE REPORT STEADY INCREASE IN MOTOR BANDITRY

London, July B—(UP8 —(UP) —Motor bandits have become so active and successful throughout the British Isles that police have been forced to seek new means of curbing their activities. More than 100 motor raids were reported in London alone during the first half of 1929 The number of attacks increased steadily from six in January to 51 in May. Few of the culprits were arrested. The bandits not only use automobiles to escape after a jobbery. They patrol residential districts in their fast cars, attacking and robbing persons on the sidewalks. Police admit they are meeting serius difficulties in attempting to solve tlie p-oi.iem. "Wo have considered the question from every point of view," said a Scot-

One thousand delegates, who used almost every known travelling device to get heie, were registered for the opening session. They came afoot, on horseback, automobile, train and airplane. William Elliott, Findlay, Ohio, president of the Western district, Luther league of Ohio and his son, Carlton, walked to the convention “by way of Pueblo, Colo."

Hoover of Getlsyburg. (Pa) seminary; Dr. H. F. Martin, president of Midland college, Fremont, Neb.. Rev. F. W. Otterbein, Chicago; Rev.

land Yard official, “but in no two sections of the country is it exactly the same. "The use of spiked mats to stop cars the use of barriers and cordons of men' have been discussed, but there is no generally satisfactory method which can be adopted. To hold up a car after an attack means that many avenues have to be blocked, inflicting great hardships on the general public. "In some localities the bandits cannot even be pursued because all the police forces are not equipped with cars or even motorcycles.” in a recent case, a stolen car was driven through three cordons of police who sought to stop it. Three attempts to rob the postoffice at Uxbridge have been foiled but the criminals have always managed to escape in motor cars.

Meetings are to be held in Kountze Memorial church, largest English speaking Lutheran church in the world. Following the convention practically all the delegates (will leave on special trains for a tour of scenic poinls in Nebraska, Wybjning and ColoradoClarence Dittmer, Brooklyn, N.

A joint memorial service *>f the letter carriers and the ladies' auxiliary followed the luncheon and the men then returned to their business session at the K. of P. home. Interest In Election Election of officers and the selection of a site for the 1930 convention were creating the most interest among the delegates to the convention. There was strong sentiment among the delegates to take the convention to Bedford next year. Others were boosting Gary and Hammond for the convention site, but Bedford appeared to have the most Walter I. Uitts, state president of the organization, appeared to have better than an even chalice to be re-elected president of the organization. Several Uitts boosters were busy all day seeking delegates to support the present regime. There was some talk of other candidates, but the present organization seemed to have the most strength. Following the selection of a site for the 1930 convention the ladies' ' auxiliary will meet and select the same site and then will elect officers. Both organizations will adjourn following the disposition of business until the state meeting in 1939. Many Here Sunday A large crowd of letter carriers and their wives arrivod Saturday night and Sunday. Sunday evening, a total of 312 had registered at the Pythian Home.
