cent Crimes.
Professional burglars are operating
i'm this city. Within the last week
there have been several big robberies.
and headquarters detectives admit
that the work is that of expert thieves.
For several months Baltimore has
been terrorized by second story bur-
glars. who appear to be organized. Ii
is believed that the same gang OF
thieves is responsible for the robber-
les here.
A COMPARISON of the reports of
thefts in the two cities show a SINH
Iarity. and the theory of the local de-
tectiVes is that after committing
burglary here the perpetrators leave
TIE city and go TO Baltimore, where
they believe themselves safe. one
point of interest can be gathered from
the robbery early yesterday morning
at 436 Fourth street, northeast, the
home of Mrs. George T. Roberts. Moth
ing but solid silver and gold goods wa
stolen This indicates that the plum
der will be melted down before being
disposed of.
Inspector Mattingly said today that
he did not believe that Mrs. Roberts

WILL REGULATE EMBALMING.
A Bill to Be Introduced in the Mary
land Assembly.

Mr.. Eli f. Heller. of Baltimore. is
preparing a bill to be introduced in the
general assembly of Maryland, To reg
ulate the embaIming of the dead. Mr..
Heller makes the claim that at least
ten or twelve hours should elapse aft
er life is said to be extinct before en-
balming should take place.
This. he says. should be the case for
at least two reasons, the first and most
important being the danger of caus-
ing the death of persons who are
thought to be dead. when in reality
suspended animation gives the appear
ance of death. He cites the case of a
lady at Norfolk, Va. who only a few
days ago was restored to life after pre-
paratiOns had been made for her buri-
al
Another reason is the fact that en-
balming often defeats the ends of JUS
tice. In cases of sudden death it oft
en- occurs that an autopsy is necessary

from natural causes or was the result
of poison.

SUCCESSOR TO DIRECTOR SMITH.
There Are Many Candidates for
the office.

The fight for the office of Chief of the
Bureau of American Republics has be-
gun. This vacancy was caused by the
death of Director Smith.
The place is an honorable one and pays
$4,000 a year The applicants are nu-
merous and hail from a dozen or more
States.
Naturally enough several are from
Ohio. and as Mr.. Smith was appointed
from that State they seem to imagine
that should give them better chance.
Mr. Murat Halstead. formerly proprie-
tor of the Cincinnati Commercial, is said
to have a very good chance for the ap-
pointment. Mr.. Halstead of late years
has spent more of his time in New York
than Ohio, but still claims TO be citizen
of the latter State.

The Relden Noble mansion. occupied

original owner. returned with her family
from abroad and took up her abode
within its walls.
Congratulations were general. and an
air of life lent attraction 10 the home.

time shortly after the marriage OF
