SNEAK THIEVES ACTIVE.
James II. Allen Robbed Of Valuable
Papers in Bank.

Three robberies were reported yesterday
to the police. James II. Allen, o. H Gray,
and Miss Clara 3. Raglan were the vic
tins. and all called at headquarters dur
ing the afternoon To see Inspector Board
man In one case arrests Will probably
be made soon.
Allen has a safe deposit vault at the
Washington Loan and Trust Company,
and yesterday, according TO his daily Gus
tom, he went to the vault to deposit
funds. The vault is located in the rear
of the bank, on the first floor of the
building, and is separated from the main
passageway by an iron grating. Allen
carried under his ARA a large tin box,
containing valuable papers, and just be
fore entering behind the grating into the
vault, he deposited the box on the window
sill outside. When Allen left the vault
his tin box had disappeared, as had three
suspicious looking men, who were loung
ing about when he entered the place.
Bank officials were unable to account for
the disappearance of the box, and Allen
consulted the police. Detectives Boyd,
Helan, and McNamee We're detailed on the
case. and obtained good descriptions OF
the three men suspected. 1t is thought
that professional bank thieves may have
stolen the box, in the belief that it con-
tanned large sum of money. Allen says
the papers were of no value TO anyone
but himself. His home is at 326 Indiana
Avenue northwest.
While o. II. Gray, OF 1890 Massachusetts
Avenue northwest, was standing at Thir-
teenth and L Streets northwest. vest erday
somebody robbed him of his pocket book
containing $50. The money was enclosed
in an envelope within the purse. Gray
reported his loss in short order. but was
unable to give any clew to the person who
robbed him. All he knew about il was
that several men were lettering about the
corner, and he was 1ostled once or twice
by one OF them.
Miss Raglan, who lives on New Jersey
Avenue near r Street northwest, while
shopping yesterday afternoon In a Sew
enth Street department store, appears to
have deposited her purse on counter.
IL was gone when she looked for il, and
nobody about knew what had become OF
II. The store officials wanted 10 call in
the police, but Miss Raglan went to head
quarters in person. Two detectives we're
detailed on the case.
