THOSE WHO STEAL RIDES
Special Police for This Form of
Robbery.
FOUR CLASSES OF BEATS
Ths Services Requires Great Vigilance.
and II OF Much Value TO the
Railroads and to the
Thieves Themselves.

A most peculiar form of robbery
against which IL Is necessary to guard
by the employment of a vigilant police
force. is the stealing of rides by those
who would beat the railroads out OF
their legitimate earnings. Very few
people are aware that a regular force
Of police is employed to protect the
companies from this strange form Of
theft They are well paid men, n
they carr their money. for the work
the do Is taxing. and the benefit. not
only to their employers. but TO the
thieves themselves. Is great. for they
save the lives of not a few by arrest
ing the reckless rider on the ~cowcatch-
err OF the locomotive or the steps of a
freight train. The story below. written
by l.. +. Loree of the Pennsylvania
system. gives an interesting insight
into the workings of the method of
detecting and arresting the profession

90 employ police for the purpose of
guarding our freight trains against
srespassers, / may say that i have
counted myself as many as go tramps
and train-ride stealers in a single
string of cars.
There are four classes Of people who
steal rides on freight rains First,
there Is the man who has ample means
90 pay. but who want to spend his
money in a. way he can see a greater
return for: he is looked upon with spe-
cial enmity by railroad officials, and
the police have orders to always get
che man with the watch chain" be-
cause IL we make IL questionable for
the well-to-do citizens to steal rides we
might work our way down to the
tramps. The second class are boys who
have girls in the mex town. and the
young fellows who want to go to the
circus in the country town and neigh
borhood: people on errands of all sorts;
they ride back and forth night and day.
The third class are what the tramp
calls gray cats" and the brakeman
calls stake men," the fellow whose
habits are such that when driven by
necessity to work. stays only long
enough to get money to supply himself
with drink n tobacco. There are
about $4,000 of these men battening on
this community between the Alleghe-
MES and the Mississippi and the lakes
and the gulf. They are constantly on
the move and are without the respect
even of the tramp. The genuine hobo"
the fourth member. Is an adept as a
Uespasser. He rides on the brake rods
and the truck OF the passenger or
freight cars or beats the blind bag
gage" OF rides in the cattle car. and
generally he never walks when there Is
q freight train to be had.
IL was rather astonishing to me when
j got the figures together to see what
a miscellaneous lot OF people we had
gathered up as the result uf the on
slaught by our police on the vagabond
community. The two tables will, 1
think. reward a careful study.

ROBBED HIS EMPLOYERS.
Arrest of Arthur Kern, Aged Six teen Years, for Grand
 Larceny.

Arthur Kern, aged 16 years, and James Dormady, aged 21 years. were arrested last evening by Detectives Ryan and O'Dea and locked up in the tanks. Kern is employed by the Columbia Tea Com pany of 25O Sixth street in the capacity Of clerk During the past week, it is claim ed, he managed to get away with $120 be- longing to his employers.
 His scheme was to await favorable oportunity and then rob the cash drawer. As suspicion was fastened on him his employers notified the police, with the result that Ryan and O'Dea were detailed to make an investigation. Last evening, becoming convinced that Kern was the culprit they decided to ar rest him. He was found in the company of Dormady, who was. also taken into GUS todS. When searched at the City Prison s1OS was found in the possession of Dor mady. He admitted that the money had been given to him by Kern. The latter made a confession to the detectives, ad- mitting his guilt and claiming that Dor mady had received most of the money. It is more than likely that Dormady will be charged with being an accessory to the crime
