YOUNG BANDITS REVEAL IDENTITY Students Readily Admit Robbing Gary Theater. 3v United Press \ GARY. Ind., Feb. 25—Two youths ~-one a collegian and the other a high school student —are in jail today after they admitted staging nine hold-ups in the past few weeks “for the sake of adventure.” They were arrested Thursday as suspects in the hold-up of the manager and several employes of the Palace Theater and the robbery of 5900. Thursday night they identified themselves as Henry H. Atkinson, sophomore at Waynesburg (Pa.) college and th son of an Elgin (111.) doctor, and George E. Webb, high school senior also 4 from Elgin. They are the customary type, of young students, given to extremes in styles and heavily pomaded hair. When arrested they assumed a careless nonchalance and readily admitted the hold-up of the theater, eight other hold-ups in northern Illinois and the theft of at least twelve motor cars. “It was the love of adventure,” Atkenson said. '"We wanted a thrill. The money was just incidental. And it all was very easy.” After they had confessed they said they did not want a trial, but wanted to “go to the pen and start serving a sentence.”

RICH; LIVES IN POVERTY Chicago Woman, Former Society Belle, Found 111 in Hotel. Bn United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 25.—Suffering from pernicious anemia and possibly lack of sustenance, Mrs. Ada Sawyer Barrett, one of Chicago's -wealthiest women, is in a local hospital today. She f was found living in a very obscure and mediocre loop hotel with only a sufficient amount of rather tattered clothing to keep her warm. Her fortune is estimated at between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. She is the granddaughter of Justin Butterfield, Chicago pioneer, and for a time resided in one of the show places of early Chicago. Since its sale she has resided in several second and third rate hotels, maintaining a penury almost unimaginaable. While her husband was living Mrs. Garrett was considered one of the Chicago society belles. After his death, however, she foreswore society and started living in near-pov-erty. FLEXIBLE TARIFF O. K.

AUTO CLUB FIGHT SWELLSJOSTER Groups Seek Removal of Restrictive Laws. Removal of many of the more important forces that restrict the range of the automobile will be one of the outstanding accomplishments of motordom this year in the opinion of Todd Stoops, secretary-manager of the Hoosier Motor Club. An intensive attack on unfair local legislation and unduly heavy taxation, on the motorist has been launched by motor clubs in all parts of the country.
