A THOROUGH JOB.
Four Small Boys Stripped All Brass
Found in Westminster Hotel.
Two Have Been Arrested.

Stealing brass and other kinds of
metal is becoming quite fad among
the small boys of the city. 4 party
of four of them decided to break away
from the old methods and go in on
a more elaborate scale on Sunday af-
ternoOn so they hit upon the plan of
dospoiling the unoCupicd Westminster
hotel on Wyoming avenue.
They got into the cellar through
ii window in the rear which they broke
open and then proceeded to strip the
interior of the place of all brass to be
found. AS many of the faucets and
bar fixtures as they could unscrew they
took off and even went so far as to
rip off the brass rods used to hold
down the stair carpets and the little
pieces of brass used in corners to pre-
vent the dust from gathering.
They finished their lHbOrs along in
the early evening and got away from
the premises safely carrying the stol-
en- brass in baskets. Two of the boys.
giving their names as Paul kamski
and George Faust, came into Harry
Williams junk shop on Sunday night
with basket of the stuff and tried to
sell it.
He became suspicious and after no.
tifying the police, held the boys until
Patrolman Addyman arrived and took
| them to the central police station.
When arraigned before Magistrate
Millar yesterday morning they tear
| fully confessed their connection with
| the affair and gave the names of the
two boys associated with them. The
police are now looking for the latter
Both boys were committed in default
| of $500 bail.
Detective Iona Day last night ar
rested the two other boys at the Ly-
ceum theatre. They gave their names
| as David Evans, of Lincoln Heights
and Frank Crane, of West Lackawan-
na avenue. They are both about IA
years old, and freely admitted their
guilt.
