DETECTIVE FORCE ENLARGED.
Step Necessary in Order to Cope With
Bicycle Thieves.

Bicycle stealing has been engaged in TO
such an extent recently that Maj Sylves-
ter has found it necessary to increase the
force of detectives engaged upon the work
of investigating such cases. Detective
Trumbo has been engaged upon the work
for several years. but the increase in the
number of thefts has been so great that it
was found impossible for one man to per-
form the work. For that reason Bicycle Po-
hcemen Williams and Barrett have been
designated to assist in the work They
went on duty at headquarters yesterday and
have already rendered assistance to the
officer who has charge of the work. Police
man Williams today recovered a stolen
wheel. He arrested colored boy named
James Brown, sixteen years old who lives
at 92t E street southwest. and locked
him up. The officer recovered the bicycle
! oi J. w. CLANCY from the boy. The wheel
was taken from where il had been deposited
in front of the Interior Department. When
;rlaccd under arrest the boy said he bought
the wheel from another boy for - cents.
Seldom day passes that several reports
tot thefts of bicycles are not reported. It
sometimes happens that tie waee.S have
sjust been ridden off and abandoned but
even this is violation of tho law 1t is
believed that the adoption of the suggestion
toi MAJ. Sylvester, that the wheels be num-
bored. would reduce III" number Of thefts
and hc a great protection to the owners of
.SUcU vehicles
