OF LIFETIM Thieves Make Complete Cleanup in Office of Aged Mew York Sexton. GOT UP FIHE ESCAPE Bold Robbery, Which Leaves Old Gentlemtn Practically Penniless, Committed With Polle Officer Leu Than a Block Away. Now York. When Thomas Brown, the ttffed aexton at St. Apnea' chapel of TrlDlty parish, at No. 121 West Nino-ty-flrst attest, entered his office he dls covered that f 1,000 in cash and Liberty bonds, representing his savings of more than fifty years, had been stolen from the safe. Brown has been sexton of St. Afnes chapel since It was built. 27 years ago. For 15 years previously he had been a sexton at old Trinity. Office Found In Chaos. Papers were strewn about, books upset, the safe door open and the office In a state of confuiton, Mr. Drown said, when he discovered his loss. A fire-escape ladder hangs from the sexton's office, which Is on the second floor, and It Is Mr. Brown's theory that the burglars used thUto reach his office. They forced the window and ransacked the office at leisure. Of the loot. J3.500 was . In Liberty bonds, which were unregistered and are therefore transferable. The remaining $1,500 was in bills. Besides, there were stickpins, cuff links and other articles of Jewelry, which were takeu. Mauy of these, Mr. Brown said, he treasured for their sentimental value. "That's all there was for thein to take said Mr. Brown; "But they made certain that they would not overlook anything. They went through and .overturned everything." Mr. Brown sleeps.' in l&t parish hou&e, but so far uwuy that, as he says, "thty could have burned the offlee and 'I wouldn't have known It." . Patrolman Block Away, Apparently the burglars made their escape .the earns way as they came In. although a policeman was on post less than a block away. "There is little chance of recovering tho money or the bonds," suld Mr. Brown, sadly. "When the police a State of Confusion. called they took a lot of fingerprints throw things around a bit nnd caused a littlo more confusion than before. Then they tojd me they hoped I would get the money back. But there's no chance of lt. I guess. "Ye, that wa4 absolutely all I had.

BElLi IS FREED ) Man Locked in Belfry as Result of Joke Perpetrated by Friends. BIG CROWD GATHERS Pastor and Parishioners Aroused From Their Slumbers and Forty Motorcars; Attracted by the Noise Made by Seaman. New York. James M. Howard, pastor of the Bedford Park Presbyterian church, who saw service as a chaplain with the Seventy-seventh division overseas, has been going to bed early since his return to America some time ago, and until 11 o'clock one night recently nothing had occurred to disturb his slumbers. He scarcely dozed off when he dreamed that the bell In the steeple of his church was ringing as though sounding a warning of an attack by hostile airplanes. The dream soon resolved Itself into a partial reality, and sitting up In bed he realized that It was in fact the bell In the steeple of his church on the corner of Two Hundredth street and Bainbridge avenue, the Bronx,, and that fully 40 automobiles filled with people were in front of the church looking at the belfry. He dressed and as he was about to go out of the door met Policeman Charles Hess of the Bronx Park station, whose attention had been attracted by the crowd and the ringing of the belt Accompanied by the policeman and the sexton of the church, who had also appeared on the scene, the former chaplain let himself into the building and the trio proceeded to investigate. Pushing' open the door of the belfry he rtJiCovered Donald Hobson of 243G Morris avenue, who recently wa? released from the navy, und Mho is one of his own parishioners. In a few words, however, Hobson was able to explain his end of the Looking Up at th BHfry. case. It seems that before he enlUttd in the navy, two years ago, he had been a ro&lnent member of the Bedford Par) GUe club and that upon his return to civilian life his companions had decide that it was time to stage a concert lA honor of hla safe return. He had Been made the victim of a practical Joke by his friends. The terrible Cossacks have gone back so far as lighters that they get wiped out In whole corps now by fellows who used to eat out of their tin cups. England's war fortunes number 340,000, according to London reports, and It is probable that even more Americans are enjoying their first limousine. The government reports extensive counterfeiting operations, indicating that no matter how easily money Is made some people Insist on going to the trouble of manufacturing. Former Kmperor Charles, kept now as practically -a prisoner, complains that somebody Is reading his letters. He only thinks that somebody Is, possibly, because they are never answered.

Lead in "Number 17"

kWilliam Fox Charming:-Mildred Reardon is the haoine whom George Walsh has to rescue in Louis Tracy's famous story, "Number 17," LMILB CHA17TAPD Emile Chautard, the famou3 motion picture director, has been engaged by William Fox to n.ake a series of super special productions. The first will be Fanto mas," the fan.ous French detec tive stories from the pens or Pierre Souvestre and Marcel Ailain M. Chautard brings to the Fox organization his entire staff of experts. Another Increase In the price of haircuts threatens. A baldheaded man Isn't soaked in such an Instuuce on account of a scarcity. Tho Allies are considering more drastic peace measures in Turkey, but it looks not a little aa If they have already overdone It. Some of the soviet ark's passengers are reported suffering In Russia. Perhaps the bolshevik! have put them to work no work, no eat. Nowadays one does not hesitate to i wear old clothes, for there Is always the chance that the public will mistake him for a prosperous mechanic. Now that women are to vote by the million in this country. It is to be hoped the Goddess of Liberty will always behave herself like a perfect lady. Just as Lloyd George suspected, reports of Armenian massacres by the Turks were grossly ernggorated It was only Ifl.OOO. not 30,000 that were killed. Kxpert opinions continue to differ bronzy. K. Shldehara, the new am. bassador from Japan, says Japanese militarism is a myth. Probably a Japanese myth.
