room behind the prison bars at the
third precinct police station presented such
a contrast with the home of Mr. w. c.
Mcbride that Matthew Fahey was unable
to enjoy life last night. Mr.. Mcbride lives
at 1928 X street northwest, but his home
Is unoccupied while he is spending the sum-
mer at Bar Harbor. Young Fahey went to
the house two days ago and gained an en-
trance through the basement window which
he closed after entering the premises. He
was perfectly at home and enjoyed his
new surroundings, which were far better
than he had had at his home.
Nothing more serious would probably
have happened had II not been that Mat
thew was short of funds and in order to
get small amount of cash he disposed of
some silverware that he found in the
house. He got money enough to enable
him to rush the growler" and something
to eat, and after enjoying life away from
the house for season he returned yester-
day afternoon. He was seen by small
boy to crawl through the basement win
dow. Policemen I.auten and Emerson went
to the house to make an nveStigation and
gained an entrance by climbing through
the second-story window. Matthew was
preparing to carry off more valuables to
sell at a second hand store, and when he
heard the ofhcers enter the house he hid in
the bath room. 1t was only after the po-
licemen had threatened to shoot him that
he opened the door and surrendered
AT the station he admitted that he had
sold n number of articles of silverware,
and they were recovered from dealers in
Georgetown. This morning the prisoner
was measured and photographed at police
headquarters and was afterward taken to
the Police Court, where a charge of house.
breaking was preferred against him. The
case was continued, to be heard after the
return of Mr. Mcbride, and the prisoner
was committed.

Expansion Of Becker's Baggage and
Leather Goods House.

Expansion is the surest and most evident
sign of progress, and Beckers baggage and
leather goods house has kept steady pace
along with the growth of the city. Several
years ago the demand for more room ne
cessitated the move to 1928 + street, where
1t was possible to make what was regarded
as the largest display of trunks, baggage
and harness on one floor to be seen in any
city In America. And Becker's store has
expanded again. He has moved right next
door into the big double store, 1924 and
1875 F street, thus securing a floor space
fifty feet front by 100 feet deep, or 5000
square feet of floor space. The rear half
OF this immense floor is devoted to the dis
play of trunks of every size and descrip
ton, all Of the famous Becker quality. On
one side of the front half is the display Of
fine harness and splendid line of London
saddlery. while the opposite side is occu-
pied by the stock of suit cases and bags
The center front portion OF the store is
the Mecca of leather novelties-choice ar
ticles of every sort, from foremost manu-
facturers at home and abroad. 1t Is a
store ample enough In proportions to ac-
commodate an exhaustive stock.
