Gonzales. the young Mexican who was re-
Gently arrested here for stealing from sew

record as a thief and shoplffter. Capt.
-Beardnaan said that from the information
furnished by the Philadelphia officials Con-
zaies Is not only o good" thief but rs
dangerous. They said that when he was
caught in the act OF stealing . Buit Of
clothes by the proprietor OF q store he as
saulted the latter with q long knife thereby
obtaining his freedom However he was
caught q few days later and served SIX
months IN jail.
According to the ginformation furnished
by Superintendent Collins OF the Chicago
police. Gonzales was arrested there in 1900
under the name OF Rufus Youngsell upon
a charge OF larceny and served three
months in the house OF correction. The
police officials Of Kansas City, Mo-, report
that he was arrested>in that city In 1908
under the name OF RafRh Gonzales for
shoplifting. but they were unable to give
the disposition OF the case.
In both Kansas City and Chicago Con-
zalss told the police he was q Mexican.
and in Philadelphia he commended that he
was q Chilean. Capt. BoGrdman said this
morning that at the time of GonEales'
arrest here he looked upon him as q sea
soned crook" and not a novice at the game.
and 1t was for the purpose OF satisfying
his supposition and to have the mans
record in the local criminal identification
bureau that he solicited Information from
other cities.
while working In Washington Gonzales
would enter a clothing store and under
the pretense OF purchasing q suit OF
clothes he would try several on and at an
oppOrtune moment would make his exit
from the store attired in a new suit.

USE OF ELECTRIC ENGINES.
No Ordinary Locomotives on Union
Station Approaches.

In the event Of the various railroad COM
panies which will run into the new union
station failing to accede to the request of
the Commissioners that they use electric
motors to bring their trains into the Dis
strict Instead of the ordinary locomotives
q means Of eliminating smoke, congressional
action will be asked by them to compel the
use OF electricity. However. Commissioner
Macfarland. who first suggested the use
of electric engines at the new station, said
today ithat he did not believe 1t would
be necessary to invoke this congressional
action. as he is of the opinion that the
railroad companies will be able to comply
with this request by the time the station
is fully completed and occupied.
The substitution of electric motors for
smoke emitting locomotives. he says would
cut out the greater part of the remaining
smoke nuisance, and add to the comfort
OF the travelling public, and would save
the new station from being disfgured by
smoke and gases. The Pennsylvania rail-
road and the New York Central, he I'M
derstands, are preparing to electrify their
terminals and lines Manhattan Island
and doubtless the same thing would be
done here.
On Saturday last the Commissioners, at
the suggestion of Commissioner Macfar-
land, sent q letter to the presidents of the
eight railroads which will run into the
union station requesting the substitution of
the last conference between the Commits
s!oners and A. r. Shand. chief engineer of
the Pennsylvania railroad the question of
eliminating the smoke and gas nuisance was
discussed freely and at length. 1t was
on this occasion that Mr.. mcfarland en-
phasized the necessity and Importance of
electrifying the local terminus, saying this
would not only be gratifying to the Com
missioners but to the public at large.
The Commissioners said today that they
expect q settlement of the question within
a few days. and that the congressional ac-
ton will not be necessary, unless the atti-
tude of the companies Is not satisfactory.
The Commissioners have been informed
within the last two or three days by local
railroad officials that 1t is only a matter
of time before the electric motors will be
adopted by all the railroad companies In
the principal stations on their lines.
Joseph Crawford. general agent of the
Pennsylvania railroad, said today that this
company is experimenting with electric
motors on Its Long Island division. but the
results show so far that these motors lack
q number OF things which VIII have to be
remedied before they can be made practical
Bile. However, he thinks that In year or
SO all of these defects win have been over

stituted for the smoke-emitting locomotives
