BURGLARS ARE
AGAIN ACTIVE
MANY R0BBERlES REPORTED
TO POLICE
Large Number Of Breaks Said TO Have
Been Effected Sunday While
Residents Were Absent
From Homes

More reports OF burglarles flooded
the police detectives headquarters
yesterday. Most of the cases were OF
class that lead the officers to believe
that they were committed by profession.
ais. However, the officers believe that
the burglaries are the work of an or
ganzed gang and they think they know
who the offenders are.
c. A. Schooley Of 4l6 Ganahl street
reported yesterday that a robber en-
tered his house early in the morning
by means OF q pass key. The intruder
ransacked the house and took SO. Some
other articles of small value were also
missed from the house.
During the absence of Frank Horn
from his home at sos Cornwall street
yesterday afternoon a burglar entered
by means of a pass key The thief
carefully searched the house and select
ed jewelry for his booty.
Shortly after the burglary at the
Horn residence a burglar entered the
home of Mrs. Lillian Price at 1888
Sheridan street, but took nothing. The
rohber gained entrance by crawling
through a rear window, which had been
left unlocked. lie was evidently
frightened, as he left without search
ing the house thoroughly.
Two thieves entered the home of
Charles Rahm at 62S North Soto street
yesterday afternoon and after ranSaCk-
ing the house took a considerable
amount of jewelry. The articles missed
were IS in gold, one gold bracelet with
eight s. gold piece spangles, three rings,
plain gold pin and neck chain.
Hope to Catch Offenders
Mrs. l.. w. Wheeler OF the Hotel
lockwood reported late yesterday aft
ernoon that while shopping in a Broad
way store a sneakthief stole her purse,
containing SIS, from between some bun
dies beneath her arm. Mrs. Wheeler
has no idea of the identity of the thief.
In discussing the affair the officers
say that they were unable to decide
upon the class of robbers. The indi-
cations are that the work is being
done by members of one gang, but con-
fusng evidence in clues battles them
somewhat.
zone thing is apparent" said an Of
ficer who had been Investigating the
cases, land that is that the robbers
are not amateurs. 1t is my opinion
that this work is being done by men
expert in the business but who are out
of "luck"-that is, they have been
forced to small work because they
have been unable to effect a large rob-
berry.
"Of course, this large list of robberies,
burglaries and attempts do look bad
for the department on the face, but
1 think that we will find that some of
them can be explained in another way.
Not ali of such burglaries prove to be
as serious as sometimes first reported.
We have been exceptionally free from
burglaries and crime this winter and,
Of course, we must expect some GRIM
inal work"
