He asserted that Inadequacy of the force had hampered police In their ef forts to cope with the crime situation, and that the severe sentences Imposed "saved the situation." Captain Souder's statement follows: "During the last month, since Judges McCormlck and Henry have been sit ting on the Quarter Sessions bench here,' , We have noticed a great decrease In thefts of nutomoblles. due to the sen tences meted out by these Judges. The .'swift trial and conviction of thieves ar rested In this city during the crime wave and the severe sentences Imposed virtually broke the epidemic of terrorism." Records of the Detective Bureau show that three weeks ago forty-five auto mobiles were stolen In one week. In the week preceding last night only seventeen were. Btolen, but last night the thieves took eleven cars. 421 In Two Month During January and February this year automobile thieves have stolen 421 machines here valued at $451,849. Of these 293 have been recovered by the police. Their value is put at $352,195. These figures were compiled by Cap tain of Detectives Souder to prove the necessity for more stringent state laws for the punishment of auto thieves. The Legislature now has thrco bills under consideration covering the subject and is conducting public hearings to learn public sentiment In the matter. One of the hearings wns held, yesterday In City Hall. Another will be held next Fri day afternoon. Ten-year imprisonment terms for au tomobile thieves are advocated by 5Ior rls Speiser, assistant district nttorney. Captain Souder stated thnt during, the year 1!)18, 2900 automobiles, valued at $2,084,416, were stolen In Philadel phia. Of these 2384, valued at $2,057,007, were recovered by the police. "A great many of these machines are taken for the purpose of obtaining a Joy ride," continued Capta'n Souder, "and are left standing on the street In the outlying districts, the autos In many instances bytng badly damaged. It is the practice of those who steal cars to run them to Baltimore, Trenton and other sections of New Jersey and to points up tho state, where they arc dis posed of generally to persons who buy them In good faith. 4 Law Is SuKSHted "It is the, easiest thing in the: world to transfer a tag from cms car to an other! and It is Just as easy to. place a. crooked number on nn automobile. What we need Is legislation which will cause u man who steals a car to nave ap.elephant on his hands. In New Jer sey a fine is imposed upen all persons who have wrong numbers on their cars, and such a law should be In existence here." IUwas declared by David J. Smyth, former Director of the Department of Public Safety, who represented Captain Souder, that If the Cox bill was passed by the Ierlslature there would' be very few thefts cf automobiles. He said that under Its provisions any Individual who is guilty of taking a car could be traced and convicted. "Before the war, said Ellwood c. Chapman, who appeared on behalf of insurance companies, "the Insurance rate was about $17, hut conditions of late have caused the rates to be Increased to $80. Keeer of u garage should be compelled to keep records of all cars brought to his establishment. If the t number has been obliterated, he should be compelled to notify the police and State Highway Department at once. ' Something drastic must be done to stop the present crime wave." !

Shortly before 5 o'clock this morning a heavy downpour of rain put the finishing touches to the Ivy Ball at Welghtmann Hall. flows of taxis could not stave off a severe wetting for many of the tired dancers. The covered entry way had blown down, and "hawkers"" and taxi men were lined up -thick as files. The storm, however, did not prevent the Ivy Ball being the most successful ever given at the University, Estimates placed the attendance at more than 2000. The large Hr of the gymnasium waa packed to capacity. Dancing con tinued from 10 o'clock In the evening until 5 today. Many of the participants did not arrive until midnight. The hall was elaborately decorated, although It was remarked that red and blue, the Pennsylvania colora, were "no where in evidence. Early In the evening one of the rustic booths at the lower end of the floor fell, causing consider able excitement but no serious damage. Refreshments were served cafeteria style and were the cause of long lines of desperate males extending up and down stairs In all parts of the building, anxious to get a light repast for their partners.
