 Detective Bodeker knows Harry, and will be able to identify him if he Is the right man. The ten days which the Macon authorities stated they would hold Harry will be up about Saturday night, and should he not prove to be the man wanted here he will probably be turned loose.

Saloon Man Arrested on Serious
 Charged by Police
HIS BONDS SET AT $4OOO
Jake Loeb In Jail In Connection With Burglary of Birmingham Buggy co.-Detective Patton In Mont
 aomery to Investigate.

Jake Loeb, who runs a saloon at the corner of Eighteenth street and First al- ley, was arrested yesterday morning by Detectives Patton, Bodeker and Hamil- ton and Lieutenant Hagood on two charges, one of burglary and grand lar ceny and the other of buying receiving and concealing stolen property. The ar rest was in connection with the recent burglaries of the Birmingham Buggy company,s establishment at the corner Of Second avenue and Seventeenth street, and was made in Loeb's saloon.
 After being taken to the city jail a large number of his friends called there and tried to make bond for him. Judge Feagin set the bond at 5000 In each case, or $40O0 in all.
 Message From Montgomery.
 The arrest was made on the strength of telephone message which Detective Patton received yesterday morning from Chief of Police Gerald of Montgomery, stating that a trunk filled with harness had been intercepted and that it was sent from Birmingham to Montgomery. This completed the chain of evidence which the detective was working out and he went at once and arrested Loeb
 The stolen property amounts to about $1OOO, possibly more, and has been taken in three burglarlous instailments. Detec- tive Patton has been working for sev- eral weeks on the theory that white man was back of the burglaries and was sending the stolen property away. He heard that Loeb had lived in Montgom- cry and asked the police there to make an investigation.
 Working on Evidence.
 Detective Patton went to Montgomery yesterday afternoon to work on the evi- dence from that end of the line, and he expects to be able to bring back enough to convict the guilty parties. He will try to locate other property which was stolen from the same place and which Is supposed to have been sent to Montgom- cry.
 After satisfying himself that a white man was using a number of negroes to commit these burglaries, Detective Pat ton then tried to locate the stolen goods. He could get no traces of them here. and therefore supposed that the property was being shipped. He watched the express and baggage offices and finally located the trunk which was seized in Montgom- cry.
 The series of burglaries have caused such a heavy loss to the Birmingham Buggy company that they were forced to hire special watchman to protect the place. On one occasion the safe in the office was opened and considerable money and checks were taken.
 Loeb denies being guilty of either of the charges, and states that he will be able to prove that he Is innocent. He says he lived in Montgomery at one time but moved to Birmingham to open the saloon he is now running. He has a number of relatives and many friends in Montgom- cry
 Loeb had not made bond at late hour this morning. His attorneys, Stallings and Gaston, will make an effort this morning to get the bonds signed

PROTECTING THE BIRDS.

The protection Of birds has been
carried SO far in England that fruit
growers and farmers are complaining
bitterly of the raVages of thruShes,
blackbirds and buhincheS. These
winged beauties work great mischief

American readers Of British book

of the diversion of shooting young
rocks in the early spring with short

that the English rocks have not been
thinned out with sufficient thorough
ness. and these birds do harm TO va
