COUNTRY POLICE NAB MAIL BANDIT Beat New York Experts Seeking Expert by Catch- ing Novice. By the Associated Press, NEW YORK, January 17.—While city police, detectives and post office inspectors combed Long Island, New York City and vicinity for the robber, thought to be an expert, who, on Tuesday night, held up the mafl clerk on a Long Island Rallroad train and escaped with $10,000 In currency, two country police ofcfals followed a 1-| trail of their own, which led to the arrest today of a man who has con- fessed to the holdup—an amateur in banditry. James J. Cadoo, 23, a former postal clerk and son of a wealthy retired lumber merchant of Lynbrook, N. Y., today pleaded guilty to the robbery, and was held in 000 bail for the Federal grand jury. He faces a 25- year sentence in the Atlanta Peniten- tiary. The men who tracked him down are Chlef McCahill of the Nas- suu County police and Capt. Lester Chadwick of the Lynbrook police. Mot of Money Found. All but §114 of the money was found by police, secreted in the cushions of Cadoo's car and In dishes in his house Cadoo 11 Lynbrook with his 11-year-old bride of a fe His wife is soon to become he told the police, and he resorted to the robbery to obtain funds after he had faild at numerous legitimate lines of work since their marriage. Although John P. Greene, the mail clerk on the train, had positively identified a plcture of Gerald Chap- man, notorious mail robber, as that of the man who staged the hold-up, Chief McCahill was convinced that Chapman had not been the robber. 18 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

M-L January 5, 1925. ACT QUICK! PLAYER 'PIANOS To Stockholders of the Packard Motor Car Company: Newspapers are carrying the story of a radical reduction which the Company has announced in the prices of all enclosed models of the Packard Six car. The prices of the Eight models are not reduced. The announced reductions vary from $640 for the Six coupe to $840 for the seven- passenger Six sedan. Following are the new prices: * 5-pass. Sedan ... rsisrssi e n s DEDSD T-pass. Sedan .... 2785 5-pass. Sedan Limousine ............... 2785 T-pass. Sedan Limousine ................ 2885 4-pass. Coupe s 2DBD 5-pass. Coupe ... 2685 This price revision makes the Packard Six in its various models easily the out- standing automobile value of the year. This is particularly true because at the new prices the cars are exactly as.they were; there is no change in design, material or workmanship. ‘While price reductions are nothing new to the automobile industry, no company building a high-grade car and appealing to an exacting clientele has ever before made so far-reaching a price revision in its product. As a stockholder in the Company you will naturally ask why this drastic move, and can the Company market its high-grade cars profitably at so low a price? The answer is—we are prepared to do it. The Six has been on the market four years, during which it has been so far re- fined angd perfected that we believe the appearance and fundamentals of the car will be unchanged for a considerable time; that is to say, the car has been stand- ardized. And while doubtless we shall from time to time make minor and detail im- provements, we do not anticipate any necessity for substantial structural changes for a long time to come. We are, therefore, in ideal position to devote our atten- tion and our facilities to turning this perfected car out in quantities at the lowest price consistent with Packard quality. And the price revisions are a step in our pro- gram to this end. Production will be conservatively expanded to take care of the increased sales. The Company has never been stronger financially, or better prepared, in organ- ization and facilities, for a constructive move such as this. We enclose copy of our report for the last quarter ending November 30th last. We show net earnings of $1,872,753—one of the best quarters in the history of the Company. We have no unsold stock of goods on hand and our inventories were never in bet- ter condition. Used players, traded-in from Washington’s best homes are on sale at the “"lowest prices in piano history. Think of buying a good player piano for $189.
