ORWELL AVENUE STATION
RECEIVES CHRISTMAS GIFT
 FROM MRS. J L. HEATON.

Consists of Library of Sixty Volumes
 Among Them Set of Encyclopedias
 Books Handsomely Bound.
 Mrs. J. Edward Heaton of St. Roman street presented the Dixwell avenue po- lice station yesterday afternoon with a very fine library consisting of sixty handsomely bound volumes. These in- clude set of encyclopedias and many other valuable works.
 The presentation of this Christmas gift did not come altogether as a sur prise as Mrs. Heaton had informed Officer Taylor, who covers the St. Ro- nan street beat that the books would be sent to the Dixwell avenue station sometime on Friday, so that the off cers on duty were not surprised when an expressman drove up yesterday with a wagon load of books. A note accom- panied them which read, ITO the Dix well avenue police station.'
 The policemen belonginga to the sta tion were all very much pleased over the new library and wish to thank Mrs. Heaton for her fine Christmas present.

BUT LITTLE STEALING.
Strict Watch to Prevent shoplifting in
 All the Stores.

Strict Watch to Prevent Shoplifting in
 All the Stores.
 Captain Cowles stated last night that it has been very quiet in police circles for this season of the year. There has neither been as many complaints from the stores about things stolen or as many people arrested for theft as in the last few years. This is attributed to the fact that all the large stores have such big force of watchers to prevent loss. Nearly all the extra policemen in this city are doing duty at the stores and in addition there are large mum Der of private detectives. Besides this there are the floor walkers and the reg ular detectives connected with the de- partment are also, one or other of them, making constant visits to all the stores.
 It is q noticeable fact that the faces of the well known crooks who visit this section usually have not been seen. The police have had strict orders from their superiors to bring in all suspicious per sons.
 It is stated at the various stores that of course there is. some little stealing and that this is of course unavoidable Under the conditions, but it will amount to very little in comparison to other years.
