PIPE FIENDs BUSY
Hitting the. Pipe With Hatchets and
Carrying It Away.
MANY VACANT HOUSES RAIDED
Real Estate Men Consider Organize
ing IL Patrol to Watch Unten-
anted PrOpertX.

Owners of vacant houses in all sections
of the city have suffered heavily of late
at the hands of an organized gang of lead
pipe thieves. House after house has been
stripped of it's plumbing and thus far the
offenders have managed to escape detec-
ton. Although reports of such depreda-
lions have repeatedly been made at police
headquarters, the authorities have so far
been unable to "get line" on the crooks
who are making a speciality of this kind
of housebreaking. Judging from the ia
dividual losses reported by real estate
and investment firms, which have houses
for rent in all parts of town, the total
may run into the thousands.
The damages sustained by the D. c..
Bell Investment company on five houses
foots up to $3.50. The unoccupied dwell
been Invested of lead pipe within the last
two weeks are: 1929 Third avenue S, 2445
Garfield avenue, 1926 Chicago avenue,
1921 Hennepin avenue, 1913 Clinton
avenue.
The owners of the property believe that
the work is carried on boldly in the day
time when the thieves can enter vacant
houses without creating suspicion. They
could not cut the pipe at night without
a light which would be bound to arouse
neighbOrs at such time. The plan is to
cut the pipe during the day and cart it
away in sacks after dark.
There is a suspicion abroad among
house owners that certain pawnshops act
as fences and thus provide a ready market
for the plumber. The chief of-police
thinks that this kind of HOUSEKEEPING
is the work of bad boys and not strictly
professional thieves. 1t is believed, on
the other hand, that the miscreants are
old hands at the business.
Owing to the inability Of the police to
locate the guilty parties, there is some
talk among real estate men of employing
special police to patrol the residence dis
tricts with an eye single to vacant houses.
A gang of lead pipe thieves operated ex-
tensively in Minneapolis about six years
! ago. 1t was not until Mounted Officer Ed
| Hoban, now a member of the New York
police force, shot and mortally wounded
one Of the ~thieves-a young man of re-
spectacle family, who lived on Fifteenth
| avenue Shat they suspended operations.
! 1t is believed that we'll directed shot
| in the present instance would prove eff
| cacious. .-5 r- -'.
Minneapolis is not the only city in
which lead pipe has been Offering an ex-
| ira inducement of late to thieves. In
| Chicago. Jane Adams of Hull house is
| quoted as saying that the craze for lead
| pipe is one of the most fruitful sources
of crime among juvenile offenders. She
! declares that there are certain modern
Fagans in Chicago's ghetto district who
offer the boys special inducements to GO
| out after lead pipe, and furnish them with
| the means of getting rid of their plumber
as rapidly as they help the plumbers
| business. T|

the lower dam For several weeks crew
of workmen have been filling a hole 12O

Interesting Slip OF a Witness in u
Gambling Case.


Gambling Case.
There have been two suits brought IN
the municipal court during the last few
weeks to recover money lost in gambling
houses. A case was tried yesterday
where Harry Shears asked the court to
grant his claim of $500 for money lost to
John Flanagan, Carl Blake, Louis
Wiley. w. A. Tanner and Michael Shelly,
known as the Syndicate"
The interesting part of the testimony
was that of Charles Ebert, who went on
the stand in order to refute the tale of
losses by the plaintiff He said that the
gambling house in question was closed
from the time when Fred Briggs made
bis trouble until last August Tom
Brown he said, told me to keep II
closed up absolutely until had authority
to open it. and saw that his instructions
were obeyed.'' He was asked what au-
thority was meant, AMI he explained that
in his opinion 1t was authority from
Brown.
Judge Holt took the case under advise
ment and will give his decision later.

CORBETT AFTER JEFF

San Francisco. Dec. 10.-James ].
Corbett has at last flung down the
gauntlet TO Champion Jeffries In real
earnest. Through his brother. Harry
Corbett, he deposited $25O0 with Sam
Thall yesterday as a guarantee OF his
desire to make one more effort to re-.
gain the worlds championship title.
Mr. Thall is to be the temporary stake
holder. Corbett wants to fight for the
championship next May or June before
any club which may be mutually agreed
upon.
Jeffries gave Sbarkey and Fltzsim-
mons an opportunity to retrieve their
lost laurels and Corbett asks no great
er concession. He has been living
carefully and has taken regular exer-
else in anticipation OF some day max
ing his temperance in the ring. His
present stand is taken in the hope Of
pinning Jeffries down to something
definite. In the language OF the day,
"it's up to Jeffries."
