CLkVEIs SNEAK THIEF.
Dresses Like q Woman and Car
ries a Bundle.

Dresses Like q Woman and Car
ries a Bundle.
The city detectives are looking for
sneak thief who has operated extern
sively and successfully among the resi-
dences of the city. His name Is George
w. Fraker, and he is wanted in Topeka,
Kan, for robbery. The authorities of
that city have offered a reward of $3.50
for his capture.
Fraker dresses in the garb of
woman, and having smooth. bOyish
face Is very successful in the role. His
plan is to carry a bundle of dress goods
with him and deliberately walk into q
house without knocking. Ii not de-
tected he loots whichever room he en-
tiers, taking, however, nothing but
money and jewelry. In the event in
mates of the house discover his pres
ence he pretepds that he is looking for
a dressmaker and made mistake in
the place and number. Then he dis
plays the contents of his bundle and
leaves. Among the many places where
he managed to secure pelt was at the
residence of Capt. ID. NJ. Gilmore, 1000
Laurel avenue.
Fraker was discovered while in the
Gilmore residence, but managed to eS-
cape by telling the dressmaker story.
After he had gone. a search was made
of several Of the up stairs rooms with
tine result that quantity of jewelry
and some money were found to have
disappeared with him. About week
ago he entered the back door of a resi-
dence on Second avenue south. There
was no person at home save the man
who had charge of the stable. He fol.
lowed the beardless thief into the
house and the latter sprung his dress
pattern and to carry out the farce set
up violent Irritation with the hired
man.
He carried it so far that before he left
he had the hired man "in the air." so
to speak, and the pair wound up by
kissing each other. Then tine wary
Fraker took his departure. promising to
meet the fellow Oh some corner when
the shadows of night were on. His visit
to the house had been profitable one.
He not only coddled the hired man, but
from the pantry, for, he it understood,
the l0ve-making took place in the
kitchen, the hired man not daring to
take his ''mash" into his mistress
drawing room.
The stableman,in being questioned by
the detectives about the pseudo woman,
admitted that, while she apparently UNI
derstood thoroughly the art of oscula-
ton, he noticed her chin was somewhat
rough.

Robert Pratt presided. The speakers
were Congressman }. T. McCleary, of

contented himself with diagnosing the

was contained in the brief but eloquent
remark that he had never had copy of

Mr.. McCleary gave scholarly expo

Although scholarly, his address was

startled from their seats in the commit.
tee room to learn that even the Lexow
investigation committee itself has been
weighed in the balance by the gamblers,
green goods men and policy hackers of
the city. 1t was claimed that their price
had been fixed at $4,000. Counsel Moss,
who is assisting Chief Counsel Golf in

inquired whether pool was being

the witness assured him that he knew

There was the usual grind of cases

accused of dealing in bogus stocks, said
he could not find the detailed statements
of his business, asked for by the COM

answers were so unsatisfactory that the
police were requested to arrest the
prOprietor5 of the place, and later in the
day Supt. Byrnes closed up the place.
After recess two or three colOred girls
were called for the purpose of bearing
witness to the fact that they paid the

before the committee adjourned three
children of Mrs. Urchittel were brought
into the room by an agent of the Hebrew
