New York, Dec 13.-A big moving van robbery was prevented today by twelve policemen, who captured an entire gang of robbers and $5,000 worth of furs, silks and embroidery which was packed in huge bundles and waiting for vans to 6arry it away. Soon after midnight the police were told an amazing story about three men who had been seen climbing the roof of a six story factory building in Wooster street So fiimsy was the means of ascent that the police woule not climb it in pursuit of the thieves, but surrounded the building lying in wait
 About 4 a. m. the police arrested four men coming from an adjoining tenement, three of whom they charge climbed out of the factory. The other, they say, was picket. When the fac tory fireman arrived before daylight he let the police into the building, where they found several wagonloads of goods packed in rude bundles near the street door.
 The men under arrest are William Kelly, James Reilly and George Ryan, charged with attempted burglary, ana William Fernandez, arrested as sus- picious person.

CONFIDENTIALC
Drug Company Bookkeeper Twelve Years-$3,OO0 Taken Loan
 Sharks Got It All.

Chicago, Dec William J. Smith. for twelve years confidential book keeper for the Robert Stevenson Drug Co, was arrested yesterday for forgery.
 Although he had taken almost $3 900 from the funds of the company in less than a year, little or none of it was spent on himself, as was evi- denced by his appearance when arrest ed. His clothing was old and worn and his overcoat was not warm enough to protect him from the weather.
 The money all went to the loan sharks" he said. They kept threat ening to garnishee my wages, and knew if that happened I would lose my job and be unable to do anything for the children"
 Smith lived with his wife and two children in cottage.
 My first false step was taken about three years ago, when a friend of mine invented a candy slot machine" :" Smith said II borrowed S200 from the money lenders and signed a note for S350. which he borrowed to nut the machine on the market. We'll, it fell through. I lost my s20O. my friend disappeared and I was at the mercy of the money lenders.
