ANOTHER BREAK,
Organized Gang Apparent
yWorking New England.
Burglars Get $500 From Post
office Safe at Natiek, R. |.
Thought to Be Same Who Operated
in Maine, Mass. and Conn.

Providence, T. L.. Nov. 22.-The break
in the poStotfice at Natick today is an
other chapter in the history Of a long
series OF p"Stolflce robberies which
have occurred during the past few
months in TINS state, lower Massachu-
scttS and eastern Connecticut ana
Maine. 1t seems to be the opinion that
the robberies are the work of an or
gained gang of three safe crackers.
First they began in Maine and Mas
sachuSettS, then they jumped into this
state, and a few months later were
heard Of on the Connecticut border.
The booty is evidently being kept in
an abode in the woods. The first of
the series Of breaks began early in the
summer and for a while operations
were conducted wholly in Maine and
Massachusetts, the men working once
or Twice III connecticut. On THE night
Of SEPT. 80 they came over into Rhode
Island and entered the postoffice and
general store at Rockland, in the town
al ScItuatC, which borders the Connec-
ticGt line. Here they blew the safe
and got away with several hundred
dollars. They went back to Mas
sachusetts for Il time but on the night
OF NOV. they again visited this state.
Afer stealing horse and team from
the village of Chepachet they went to
the Mapleville postOflice. where thew
secured over 500 in stamps and money
after cracking the safe.
Encouraged by the success of their
previous depredations today found
them down in the Pawtuxet valley.
where they got $500 in stamps and
money from the Natick postoffice.
Only one man was seen in Mapleyilln
but it is still the belief that he could NOT
have accomplished the work done there
At Rockland three men were seen on
Il late electric car and today a glimpsa
OF what is supposed to be the same
three was caught Just as they were
running away with their booty.

The law is as strongly worded max

1t is no longer party matter.
The respectable element of this
community, without regard to the
ticket voted in the spring, stands
aghast at the open violation of the
law.
Are the officers inefficient? Are the
courts powerless? Is it impossible
to get an impartial jury?
The joint keeper laughs and says
he is not afraid of any of them.
The cases will not come up again
until March. The joints go on doing
business
If the defendants are convicted in
March they will give bond. appeal to
the higher courts and go on doing bus
mess.
The joint keepers laugh about 1t on
the streets and joke about it in the
courts and seem to be as proud of
their successful evasion of the law as
they are of their success in business.
Verify, it is question to be gravely
considered: What are you going to
do about it?'
