Thief Finds Nothing Negotiable I'm
Stolen Box.

stolen BOX.
1t is believed by members of the detec-
tive corps that professional sneak thieves
are in the city and that they are expecting
to make a good haul at some place of bust
ness where, 1t Is believed, a large amount
Of money is kept on hand
A theft was committed yesterday after
noon in the building Of the Washington
Loan and Trust Company, 9th and F
streets, but fortunately the big tin box
stolen contained no negotiable paper Mr.
James H. Allen, a real estate dealer, who
lives at 326 Indiana avenue northwest, went
to the building mentioned to put his box
containing deeds and other papers of value
only to himself in one Of the deposit boxes
He placed it on a window sill while he was
waiting for the opening Of the vault, and
in the few seconds during which his back
was turned the receptacle disappeared. 1t
was then nearly o'clock.
The police were notified Of the theft, and
Inspector Boardman sent several detec-
tives out to make an investigation. Later
in the day the box was recovered by the
it in the Eastern branch. The finder said
he saw a man throw 1t from the Penn
sylvania avenue bridge into the water
After walking part the way across the
bridge and glancing around to see If any
body was looking the box was quietly
dropped overheard. The man retraced his
footsteps and walked from the bridge
toward the city. The observer scented
something of mystery in the transaction
He waited a few minutes and then went
it might contain evidence Of a crime more
serious than theft. Upon opening the box
and examining its contents he was both
surprised and disappointed, but being sat
isfied that the receptacle had been stolen
he lost no time in turning it over to the
police.

All Permits Heretofore Given Them
Will Expire May 1.

Upon the recommendation Of Mr.. Warner
Stutler, superintendent Of the District
street cleaning department, the Commits
sioners today revoked all permits hereto
fore granted by them to private collectors
of garbage, the order of revocation to take
effect May !, 1901. Mr.. Stutler based his
recommendation, 1t Is understood, upon the
complaints which have been made by citi-
zens as to the careless manner in wAich
many Of these private collectors do their
work, the conveyances employed by them
In many instances being responsible for
offensive odors. Then, again, it is believed
by the municipal authorities that the col
lection should be done entirely by the con-
tractor, especially In view Of the fact that
1t will then be better performed and that
the District, because of the rebate al
lowed it by the contractor, will be f1nan-
cially benefited 1t Is estimated that
through this rebate the District will re-
ceive from the contractor about 5000 per
dnnum.

ARRESTED FOR THEFT.
Two Young Men Accused of Stealing
Pair of Horses.

Joseph Henry Cleveland Carlisle, seven
teen years old, and Ernest Williams, who
gave his age as twenty-four, were arrest
ed here this morning by Policeman Joseph
Acton of the first precinct on suspicion of
having stolen two horses in Virginia. About
the time the arrests were made a message
was received from Leesburg, Va, asking
the police to lookout for large sorrel
horse and bay mare. The animals, 1t was
stated, had been stolen from the farm of
Thomas F. Compiler, near Sycolne, Lou
doun county, a village not far from Lees
burg.
The prisoners admitted that the horses
had been taken from Mr.. COmpherS farm,
but their statements as to how they were
taken did not agree. One of the boys said
his home is at Bluemont, beyond Round
Hill, and until about a year ago he worked
on Mr. Compher's farm. He says he knew
nothing of the theft until late last night,
when he met Williams on the road with the
two horses. He was on his way here with
the animals, and he accepted an offer to
come with him for one dollar, to be paid
him after the sale of the animals here.
Il was my way from my uncie's
house." said the boy, when L met Will
liams. l left there about I o'clock, and was
taken sick on the road. / was so sick that
rather Late
In this way he accounted for his presence
on the road at so late an hour.
Williams admits his guilt, and says he
was persuaded to steal the horses by the
boy. His home is near Vienna, and he was
near Sycoline on a visit to his uncle. The
boy, he says, took him to the barn on Mr..
Compher's farm and showed him where he
could get the horses and saddles, and he
entered into the deal.
THE boy told me we could go to Wash
ington and sell the horses he said to a
Star reporter, "and maybe we wouldn't get
caught. But we did get caught, and If I
ever get out Of this scrape I'll not touch
other peoples horses again"
Sheriff Russell Of Loudoun county was
notified of the arrests, and the prisoners
may be taken to Leesburg tonight.
