Severe Punishment Needed for Burg.
lars.

| To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
An item appeared i'm your issue OF the second in
| slant, giving the particulars of the arrest of
| burglar, by officer West in Jackson alley. Men,
| ton was also made In the same item, that two
| other men were committed for burglariousy
| entering store at 18th and w streets. and that
the officers OF the second precinct stated that they
had succeeded In breaking up a certain gang of
destroyed this gang OF ScOundreS there is another
set operating in the same neighborhood for with
In two blocks OF 18th and w streets and only two
houses from the residence OF the writer burglars
entered several houses last night One OF the
houses entered was broken into less than year
| ago and robbed. So that it looks Mr. Editor from
this fact that it is the work OF the same villains
want to mention fact here for the benefit OF the
public, so that they may know what to expect
| from such f1ends. They obtained nothing from
either OF the houses entered last night, being
| frightened of. no doubt, by the return home or
one OF the gentlemen res ding therein, except a
double barreled Shot gun, which was loaded.
That gun was found this morning in the front
yard OF the house. cooked ready for instant use by
the robbers. One reason that house breaking is so
frequent In the northwest is that we are virtually
without police protection. / have been residing
| on the same street for more than fce pears, and
my business has called me home at all hours Or the
night, and during all that long period have never
yet seen policeman pass along after 10 O'Clock p.
IN. My nefghbors will sustain me in this assertion
policeman seen on that square at late hour OF
the night would produce as much excitement as
the discovery OF burglar. We are sadly in need
of more police in the northwest section OF the city,
and at the same time we need a more severe law
crime in thisis city pretty good evidence this fact
The death penalty would not be too severe law
