BAGGAGE THIEVES
ARE At WORK.
Represent Themselves to Be
Legitimate Transfer Men
and Secure Trunk Checks
ARE NEW ARRIVALS

A clever gang of baggage thieves is
at work in front of the ferry building.
It's members are confidence men and
not sneak thieves. They obtain checks
for baggage from incoming passengers
by representing themselves to be
agents of transfer companies. These
companies, however. are mythical
bodies having existence only in the
minds of the confidence men. Once the
baggage check is obtained, the trunk is
taken from the claim room, and the
passenger is lucky if he ever sees his
baggage again.
This gang has only been working a
few days, but in that time it has vic
timized several passengers. Local trans
fer companies have heard of the gangs
methods and have set out to capture it's
members.
The discovery of the gangs presence
came about through Thomas H. Ryland
of New York, guest at Hotel Dor
chester. Ryland is a jewelry salesman
and his trunks represent value run
ming into the thousands He gave his
checks to a plain looking individual at
the ferry building who represented
himself to be an agent of the DAY
light Transfer Company"
Ryland waited until night for his
trunks to arrive at the hotel, and when
they did not put in an appearance he
went to the telephone to complain to
the manager To his surprise he found
that the Daylight Transfer Company"
was not listed in the telephone book
nor the business directory. Inquiry at
the hotel brought no evidence of any
such company, and, in fear lest his
trunks had been made away with by a
pretender, he hurried to the main bag
gage office. The trunks had not been
taken away. He waited for the alleged
baggageman in the hope of nabbing
him, but the man who had taken the
checks did not put in appearance.
Similar cases have been reported
The transfer companies are determined
to catch the offenders and bring them
to Justice.

William p. Geary Succeeds
II. II. Sanborn, Who Goes

H. H Sanborn, assistant general
manager of the Queen Shore Railroad,
has resigned his position and is to be
succeeded by William P. Geary, for
many years agent for the Southern Pa

Bowen stated when he left here that
he was going to Utah TO build 175 miles
of railroad for himself" He is asso-
ciated in the Mormon State with
Chadwick and Sykes, contractors of
this city who recently invaded Utah to
operate on the coal road which is said
to belong to Bowen.
There is a rumor on foot that Bowen
and the contractors are planning a big
railroad venture in Utah. 1t was whis-

Pine Tree. Made Into SIX.

About five tons of artificial silk are
now manufactured daily in Europe,

This is one of the many modern prod

Robert Kennedy Duncan, now profess

for the manufacturer. For instance,
he writes. "A pine tree is worth $40 a

bleached. it is worth s55; which, turned
into ,viscose and spun into silk, is
