BUSY BELOW dead LINE"
-Four Robberies in T5oo Weeks-
$1,000 an Plate Taken Yesterday.

Burglars have become so bold because Of the
scarcity of vigilant police patrolmen at night
that they have passed the dead line which
Thomas Byrnes established when he was chief
of detectives about twenty years ago. Operating
in the jewelry district, just below the line, they
have robbed two siverware shops a cutlery
store and cigar store in Maiden Lane within
fortnight.
The latest burglary in the street was discoF-
cred early yesterday morning at the store of the
Derby Sverware Company, No % Maiden
Lane. The store already open when the
first salesman arrived there, and it was plain
that thieves had been at work. for the many
silver plated dishes which had been displayed in
the front windows were missing.
The burglars had entered the store with a
false key, apparently They had not attempted
to open any of the safes containing solid silver
to the value of about $1,000 The robbery was
committed in view of the sidewalk, but no police
man reported it.
Two weeks ago the silverware store of George
W. Shiebler q Co, at No. I Maiden Lane, was
entered by burglars, who took articles valued
at $500 There was report that they were
scared by the shores of a policeman who was
". Cokefair. manager of the Derby Silverware
Company, said yesterday that there had been
more rObberies in Maiden Lane in a month than
in twenty years preceding. Maiden Lane until
lately has been almost exempt from visits by
burglars since Byrnes gave the order TO arrest
