W. T. Gardiner Elected
Secretary Treasurer of -
Farm Loan Asso’n.
At the annual meeting of the Ken
nebec National Farm Loan Associa
tion which was held here Thursday,
the resignation of Herbert E. Locke
of Augusta as secretary and treas
urer was accepted and W. T. Gardiner

was elected to the office.
The association has done no busi

maintained the legality of the meas
ures. It may take some time before
the necessary bonds can be prepared
and sold in the present unsettled
money market. However, it is hoped
that new loans can be had this spring
or summer.
The first dividend of the Kennebec

been declared and checks amounting
to SITj li.stributed to the stockholders
and borrowers.

Auto-Theft Law j
Produces Results
There were 272 arrests and 159 con- j
victions under the Dyer law the first
year of its operation, according to a i
report submitted to the directors ^f |
the National Atuomobile Dealers’ As- i
sociation.
The Dyer law is the National Motor I
Vehicle Anti-Theft Act. It was |
passed by Congress and became a law
Oct. 28, 1919. Tlie act makes it a Fed
eral offence to transport in interstate
commerce a stolen atuomobile. It was
introduced by Representative L. C.
Dyer of St. Louis and supported by
the automobile trade, led by the N. A.
D. A.
Sentences aggregating 213 years and
five months were imposed under the
law and fines totaling $9059 were as
sessed. Of the nearly 300 arrests,
two were women.
The courts with the best records in j
Dyer law prosecutions are those of
New York City, where 24 arrests were
made with 13 convictions: Cincinnati,
with 40 arrests and 29 convictions;
Cleveland, 15 arrests, 10 convictions;
Portland, Or., with 16' arrests and 16
convictions and Detroit, with 30 ar
rests and 29 convictions.
“In these prosectuions we have
broken up some well-organized gangs
of automobile thieves where they had
a complete system of grinding off
numbers on stolen cars and replacing
them with other numbers and com
pletely disguising the car so that
identification was impossible.
"The most noted case,” continues
Kinnane, “Is one which is still partly
undisposed of involving a conspiracy
to violate the Dyer act by stealing au
tomobiles at Detroit, transporting
them to an Eastern seaport and ship
ping them thence to Norway. A large
business had been done in this line be
fore the matter was uncovered. This
entire gang has been arrested and
some have already pleaded guilty and
others are to stand trial.”
Mr. Kinnane- throws an Interesting
sidelight upon how some of the auto
mobileethieves operate;
“The system which is in operation,”
he says, "in the well-organized gangs
of automobile thieves is to completely
disguise the car immediately after the
theft has been committed. This is
done by using an electric motor, easily
used by hand, connected with an ordi
nary electric socket, and which will
run an emery wheel to grind off the
numbers from the car. Then, by use
of dies and hammer will put new num

The U. S. District Attorney at Seat
