$4,000 THEFT
At THE WALDORF
Wealthy Guest Placed a Roll
of Bills on a Table While
Dining and 1t Quickly Disap-
peared.

The loss Of a roll OF bills amounting
60 5000 in the cafe of the Waldorf-As-
toria by a guest Of the hotel has startled
not only the patrons but the management
TO unusual activity. When one walked
Unto the big hostelry he found detectives
on every hand. A system OF espionage
has been established that has never had
its like in this city.
According to the story the fat roll was
placed on the table by one of the
wealthy patrons while dining in tho
cafe. His back was turned only a few
seconds. but when he reached for 1t the
money was gone The thief. whoever he
may be. has not been found. The hotel
management has advertised for the re-
turn of tho money but 1t will not expose
the name OF the loser.
There are many very wealthy men
stopping at the Waldorf, including
James II. Keene, Charles NJ. Schwao.
John w. Gates and other westerners.
There Is a report that the big rou be-
longed to one OF these. But they are
Got the only men who pack weighty
wadS of green currency. The racing men
and the brokers who frequent the place
often fash lust such amounts morning,
nooo and night.
There have been many robberies at
the Waldorf which have not been made
public. The one OF most recent occur
renee is that OF Mrs. Genevieve Haines,
Who is said to have lost q bag Of valu-
taurant. Mrs. Haines. who is the au-
th4r - sfIa,,tg ffarpa - IraD nn
which had a run here last year. had
removed her jewels from the safe de-
post and had taken them with her TO
the cate OF the Waldorf before going
to her rooms. She missed them soon
after sitting down ana they were never
recovered.
Smaller robberies have from time to
time been reported to the management,
which has done all In its power to bring
the thieves to bay. Commissioners Greene
has had macy instances OF theft made
known to hin and he has co-operated
with the hotel people.
The high-class crooks have looked
upon tho Waldorf as a fine stamping
ground. They, come from the West and
the South and take on the manner or
the so-called gentleman. Many of them
dress and carry themselves like the men
about town who spend money freely and
appear like substantial men OF the
world. These are the kind that the de-
tectives find 1t difficult to catch. They
secure their booty and are ava before
the police have a trace or an inkling of
their record.
The detective force of the hotel has
been doubled, and every effort is being
made to make the hotel corridors and
eating places as safe as the rooms.

26i, III males and 29s, 1882 male
The work of the mission" avs the
report, has not been confined to assist
ing immigrants landing at the port Of
New York. Its arm has been long
enough to reach across the Atlantic to
correct abuses that had crept in; and In
this connection we wish to say that the
agents OF the various steamship lines
were only too willing to cooperate with
us in the proper protection OF our young
girls while in transit"
When this report was submitted 70
Archbishop John NJ. Farley before pub
LEGATION he returned the cop to Father
Henry. together with a hearty letter OF
Endorsement of the mission and its WORK,
which Is incorporated In the printed &C.
port which appears in neat pamphlet
form. witt the harp OF Erin on its cover
and a fine half-tone portrait OF Arch
bishop Farley as a f~rontispiece.
