Dial 4-1483 Member Federal Home Loan Bank Established in 1919 0 Police Nab 2 Boys Driving Stolen Auto Pair Arrested After Accident; Admit 24 Thefts in 2 Months Two Appleton youths who have been joyriding in other people's automobiles for two months, came to the end of the road Saturday afternoon when the Appleton police caught them in the act. The youths, 15 and 17, were trapped in a car owned by Deris Kloes, 623 E. Frances street, which had been reported stolen from the 200 block on E. Franklin street at 12:20 Saturday afternoon. The stolen car was spotted by Patrolman Kenneth Van Heuklon, near Wisconsin avenue and Meade street.

Van Heuklon, who was riding a 3-wheeler, gave chase, and the youths went west on Wisconsin avenue to Union street, where they skidded 1 into two parked cars while trying to escape. Van Heuklon called the station by radio for help and other officers were sent to the scene. When questioned at the station, the boys admitted the theft of 23 other cars since Sept. 25, according to Chief of Police Herbert W. Kapp.

Two of the thefts had not been reported to police, Chief Kapp said. The parked cars were owned by Herman Damsheuser, 523 E. Wisconsin avenue, and Bernard Schroeder, 2094 N. Appleton street. Damage to the vehicles was estimated at about $200.

The arrest of the youths probably will end the long series of car thefts in Appleton, Chief Kapp said. City and county policemen and departments of nearby counties were alerted by radio each time to be on the lookout for the stolen autos. They always were found within few hours, parked in Appleton. Run Down Many Clues Several times the stolen cars were reported within minutes after they were taken. Police knowing that chances of spotting the cars while they were occupied by the thieves was small, patiently ran down countless clues and waited for the law of averages to catch up with youths, who knew they were of school age.

Police also knew the area in which the boys lived, but they had nothing definite to determine who the youths were until Saturday afternoon, Chief Kapp said. The youths admitted car thefts on Sept, 25; Oct. 2, 3, 7, 21 and 28; Nov. 1, 2 (two), 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 15, 18 (two), 19, 24 (three) and 25. Most of the cars taken were expensive late models.

No articles were ever stolen from the cars and none were damaged until Saturday. Chief Kapp warned motorists that such escapades could be reduced to a minimum if automobile owners would lock their cars when they leave them unattended. All of the cars stolen had been left with the keys in the ignition he said. The youths probably will be taken into Juvenile court.

Post-Crescent 27,1950 Necedah Shrine Taken Down Archbishop Orders Removal of Articles On Van Hoof Farm Appleton residents learned today that a religious shrine at the Necedah farm home of Mrs. Mary Anna Van Hoof has been taken down by orders from Catholic Archbishop Moses E. Kiley, Thousands of pilgrims from Appleton and other Fox valley cities visited Necedah last summer and fall on the days when Mrs. Van Hoof said she saw visions of the Virgin Mary. The shrine and other religious articles had been erected by Catholics from this area, Milwaukee and Necedah.

Leonard F. Schmidt, a member of the Necedah lay committee formed to publicize Mrs. Van Hoof's said Archbishop Kiley of the Milwaukee archdiocese had ordered removal of a statue of Our Lady of Fatima and the "stations of the cross." Mrs. Van Hoof, who claims to have been visited seven times by the Virgin Mary, has said that she was instructed in one of the apparitions to have the shrine built. Schmidt said a crucifix on a hill near the Van Hoof farm had been left standing, and kneeling benches still remained at the site of the forAp-mer shrine.

The archbishop was not available for comment. However, a chancery spokesman said stations of the cross such as those at Necedah may be erected only according to canonical law and blessed by priests who have special permission. He said this had not been done at Necedah. Arthur W. Trettin Harry P.
