tives and friends Of the Kemon and Herbert
families were at the wharf to meet the
party and render what assistance they
could. They were also anxious to learn ad-
ditional particulars about the manner In
which the five people lost their lives 1t

in the dangerous place known as Kate s

oHARaED WITH BURGLARY.
Co1ored Man Arrested on Bowen Road
for Stealing Chickens

Mounted Policeman Michael Raedy Of the
Anacostia district made what is considered
to be an important arrest this morning
about O'Clock when he captured young
colored man on the Bowen road and locked
him up On charges Of burglary. The pris-
oner gave his name as William Smith, his
age as twenty-four years. and said he lived
in South Washington. It is alleged that he
robbed the chicken houses on the premises
Of Policeman Sontag and Edward Kenney,
on Good Hope Hill. Nine chickens taken
from the former and fifteen from the lat
ter were recovered by the policeman after
he had locked up the colored man. The
fowls were dead and were in two sacks.
1t Is the claim Of the police that the pris-
oner Is the man who has ratded chicken
houses in Maryland, Virginia and the Dis
trict during recent weeks. About 1000
fowls have disappeared from the different
premises in the two states and the Dis
trict, and the authorities have been making
strenuous efforts to put a stop to the steal
ing. 1t has been the habit of the burglar
to rob two or three places in neighbor-
hood, and then ride off On horse he would
taAe from stable The Information the
police had was that the colored man would
put the stolen fowls in two sacks, throw
them across the horses back. and then
ride to the city, where he would abandon
the animal.
Mounted policemen have been instructed
to be on the lookout for colored man on
horseback. and such a sight greeted Police
man Raedy this morning while he was rid
ing along the road not far from Good Hope
Hill. The policeman started in pursuit OF
the man, who was speeding his horse, and
fired one shot at him. Unfortunately, In
steering around farmers wagon the po-
liceman was thrown from his horse, and
the alleged burglar escaped in the woods
In order to get into the woods 1t was nee
essary for him to abandon the animal
which proved to be the property of Mr.. w.
L. Shipley of Good Hope, from whose sta
BILE it had been taken. The colored man
had gone through barbed wire fence and
had torn a piece Of cloth from his coat
Later when Smith was arrested 1t was
found that his coat had been damaged, and
the piece Of cloth taken from the fence fit
ted a hole in the garment.
In the woods not far from where the
man had gone through the fence the po-
liceman found the two sacks Of chickens
He also found galvanized iron tub which
appeared as If 1t had been used for scald-
ing fowls Smith, as the prisoner gave his
road about an hour after the pursuit ana
placed under arrest He went to the Ana
costa police station without giving the po-
liceman any trouble. In his pocket was
found an open knife with a sharp blade. A
sharp instrument had been used in cutting
off the heads Of the chickens. The pris-
oner declined to discuss the question OF
chickens or to say anything more than 10
give the name mentioned and claim his
home is in South Washington. He is held
for further investigation, and the Mary
land and Virginia authorities will be noti-
fed of his arrest
