EASY FOR THE BURGLARS.
POLICE DID NOT DISCOVER FOR TWO
DAYS THAT DOORS OF RANSACKED
HOUSE WERE OPEN

If the neghbors of Charles n. Thompson. whose
house No. 297 De Kalb-ave., was shut up for
the summer on Saturday, May 10, to be be-
Heved, the fact that the front door of the house
after being broken open by burglars remained open
for two days without attracting the attention of
the policemen on that beat makes a strong argu-
ment for the contention that has been made that
Tammany methods in a little over two years have
demoraized the police force of Brooklyn.
On May il Mr.. Thompson. who is now aat his
country home on Long Island. told the police of
the Classon-ave station that his De Kalb-ave
house would be closed that day for the season
1t not closed however until May 10, and in the
mean time cases went into the house and furniture
left it. This did not attract the attention of the
police, nor did the fact that on the Tuesday and
Wednesday following all who passed could see that
the front door was half open and the vestbule
gloss smashed. on Wednesday night neighbors in
formed the police of the condition of affairs, and IT
until that time that the guardians of the
law made an investigation and discovered that not
only mad burglars broken into Mr. Thompson s
house, but they had also ransacked it from top to
bottom.
Luckily the family had sent all their valuable
silver the safe deposit vaults. and other porta-
BILE property of value had been sent to the country
Therefore the thieves obtained little of value, but
in their disgust and disappointment the marauderS
did q amount of damage by breaking into
drawers and closets and strewing things around
the rooms.
Mr. Thompson's physician. who informed the po-
lice on Wednesday night. says that the officer to
whom he telephonng said. when he gave his
Il don't givt - who you are!'
In speaking of the affair yesterday Mr. Thomp-
son said:
Do we pay for protection or plunder poteness
or impudence There seems to be question
TO what we get
The police of the precinct, which is in command
of Captain Baldwin, refuse to discuss the case.

A MARYLAND HUSTLER.
Mr.. Z. Augustus Butler a Representative
Young Business Man of Annapolis,
Md.-A Howard Graduate-His Busl-
ness Career and Success,


Annapolis, Md, Special.-The future
OF the Afro'American depends very
largely upon the character and sterling
qualities of the young men. They are
the builders. They are the architects
who are to lay the foundation and su-
perstructure. The old axiom that a
boy must be born poor and in penury
In order to become great does not hold
good in this Aladdin age. Merit wins
every time and success is not always
measured by previous conditions. Mr..
y. Augustus Butler the subject of this
article was born on the 11th day of
October, 1878. He was taught at home
during bis youth but afterwards enter
ed the public schools. At twelve he
began his business career as book
keeper in his fathers Office. At fifteen
he entered Howard University, from
which he graduated in 1900. During
his stay there he distinguished himself
both in studies and athletics. Mr..
Butler carried on real estate business in
Washington and Baltimore last year.
On the 9th of June, 1900, he went to
Annapolis and built mammoth store
This store was opened On the 9th of
July with six separate departments,
namely, grocery, dry goods, clothing,
shoe. stationery, and crockery depart
ments. Since then he has added hat
and candy Departments. A lunch coun'
ter has also been added. He employs
three salesladies and one salesman.
The store is lighted by electric lights
and uses the cash system. 1t is the
largest business house owned by col
ored individual in Maryland.
Mr.. Butler is shrewd business man
and financier Of the first class. All
young men should feel inspiration by
his success. He is favorlte in socie>
ty, but believes in business first and
pleasure afterwards. Men like Mr..
Butler are needed in building up the
financial condition of the race. There
ought to be an Afro American Coun
Gil organized in Annapolis.
