OPERATION Of GANG Of
HORSE THIEVES EXPOSED
Detective CannOn'S Trip to Somer-
vile Had DEMONSTRATING Results.
How the Crooks Operated.

There was a regular epidemic OF horse
stealing in this city and Pawtucket about
one year ago.
The thieves were smart and got out of
sight so quickly that no trace Of them
or their booty could be obtained.
Last week Detective Cannon went 10
Somerville 10 look at n buggy that had
been recovered from a gang OF thieves.
Hardly had he set foot in that place
than he discovered lot OF stolen prop
erty. The local police had no idea that

accompanied by local officers travelled.
picking up things here and there until
he had big list of property 20 be turned
over TO the owners.
The uncovering OF these thefts was due
to a runaway.
Boston and its environs were infested
by gang of thieves. whose ohiefI forte
was stealing packages from express
wagons
They were Timothy, alias Foxey Could
ing, Orrin i. Aylesbury and William w.
Aylesbury
One day last week they drove up TO an
express wagon at Somerville and stole n
chest of tea. When they made a second
raid on this wagon a small boy protested.
Leaving the buggy they were i'm to hold
an argument with him, they let the reins
loose. the horse ran away, the buggy was
wrecked and thus the police got a pointer
on the gang.
The first find Detective Cannon made
was that OF a horse and buggy stolen
from Clement Jetty. of Canal street, ten
days ago.
Next was a GoddarS .s9aggy belonging
TO Herbert A. Dean, and stolen from

The defence first introduced witnesses

of testimony was objectevs to by Arnold
Green, who is associated with Harry c.
Curtis as counsel for Riley, French &
Heffron, who claimed that the matter
of moving was one that was within the
good judgment OF the board of directors.
Mr.. Angel said that the other side had
shown what they claimed was the good
point of Mort Attleboro, he had the right
TO show the advantage OF remaining
here.
Judge Douglas decided 10 admit this
testimony though he intimated that I'm
less IL tended to show the business would
me ruined by remova, such testimony
would not be very valuable. Mr.. Angel
replied to Mr.. Green that there was no
doubt that Mr.. Green's clients Intended
TO run the business OF the corporation

The testimony was to the effect that
gas was cheaper here. that there was
more and better help here, that express
charges to New York were very much
less and that goods could be shipped very
much quicker. The men who testified
were manufacturing jewelers..
The hearing was attended by large

The thieves I'm every instance had sepa-
rated their booty. Buggies were repaint-
ed, harnesses doctored horses legs stain
ed 10 cover up white marks and then com
bination hitchups were. made TO deceive
the police.
Most of the horses were driven directly
10 Boston, where after being treated
some being clipped, others dyed, the gang
sold them on a weeks trial.
Every one of the thefts has been traced
TO these men, who belong I'm and about
Boston. by means OF receipts and checks
that have passed through the banks and
have been turned u& to the police.

hand the employees who are paid a stated
sum per week will be gamers under the
new law, for they not only get two hours
less 10 work each week for the same pay,
but they have also the added increase OF
ten per cent in wages which has Just
gone into effect.
Mr.. Hudson further explained that
every manufacturing establishment OF
whatsoever nature. where women and
children are employed, must come under
this law. but that the cotton and woolen
mills are the ones likely 10 be most az
fected by g.
I'm establishments like Brown e.
Sharpe's, he said. where but few wo-
men are employed, an arrangement may
be easily effected where the women may
be sent out at the expiration of the bs
hours. On the contrary in the cotton and
woolen mills II naturally follows that
the whole mill must come under the S.
hour law"
Mr.. Hudson was OF the opinion that
the two hours thus afforded the en-
ployes OF the mills under the new law
would be disposed OF by the manufac-
turers I'm this wise. that the mills. which
have hitherto started up at $3.50 in the
morning would start hereafter at Gas. and
the running time be used I'm bringing
about still earlier shut down on Satur-
day.

WILL
SEND A
MISSION
His Representatives viii o.
fIclally Attend the Coren alton
Exercises at London.

Rome, April SIN spite OF the opposi-
tion OF Cardinal Rampoila, the PapaI sec
retary OF state, the Pope has decided 10
send important special missions both TO
the coronation OF King Edward and 10 the
festivities IN Spain attendant upon the
coronation OF King Alfonso.
The cardinals opposition 20 sending Of
the mission 10 England was based on the
act that the British parliament did not
change the anti-Cathoic formula OF the
accession oath and Monsignor Merry Del
Val, whom the Ponun designed TO be
chef OF the mission openly refused to go
while the present wording OF the oath is
maintained.
Nevertheless the mission will be sent
and will probably arrive in London a few
hours after the religious ceremony. This
will be a repetition OF the diplomatic ma
neuver carried out at the coronation OF
Car Nicholas il. at Moscow. The aues-
ton OF the advisability Of the papaI mis-
sion 10 Spain was due to the compromise
effected by the queen regent I'm nominat-
ing the Spanish ambassador TO the vati-
can as her representative at the Pope
jubilee.
Under ordinary circumstances a roval
prince would have been appointed but he
would have been obliged 10 also go 10 the
quirinal thus creating a situation full OF
unpleasant possibilities
His Holiness was much displeased at
this step and decided toobe represented
AT King Alfonso's majority festivities by
the Papal Nuncio at Madrid.
IL Is now understood that Spain will
send grandea with an important retinue
10 specially invite the Pope 10 send a rep
resentative 10 the coronation who proba-
bly, will he Cardinal Nannutell or Cardi-
nal Cretoni, both former Nuncios at Ma
