CITY IN NEED
OF ADEQUATE
PROTECTION
RObberies Continue and
Authorities are Worried.
More Detectives Needed.

If the various precincts, as well as
victims, continue to report robberies to
Captain Carroll, of the Central office,
as rapidly as they have been doing for
the past several weeks, 1t is believed
that that official will ask the police
board to enlarge his staff.
Although the thieves have managed,
in the majority of cases, to get away
with a fair-sized quantity of booty,
no arrest has been made and little of
the stolen property las been recovered.
The biggest loser during the last few
days was Mrs. Ferdinand Bodskinsky,
of 20 Lille street. She reported at the
Fourth Precinct station last night
that someone had entered her room and
stole a handkerchief which contained
$495. The handkerchief, she said, was
In n of her dresses in a clothes closet.
She said she placed the money there
Tuesday and the following day it was
gone. She decided Ito conduct a thor
ough search before she reported the
case to the police.
Mrs. Bertha Blazer, of 1886 Littleton
avenue, reported last night that a dia-
mond ring valued at $22 was stolen
from one of her dresses in her room
w CQIlGSodIs AiiOIlA@l lObONA3
was H. Van Houten, of Al South Mum
avenue, who reported that his place
was entered early this morning and one
military suit, a dress and several bot
ties If beer were taken. Miss Stella
Monday, employed at ISL Abinger place,
notified the police that her employers
apartments, on the first and second
floor, were entered while the family
was attending the Changers picnic at
Verona yesterday, but she did not
know what was taken. Detective Ser
geant Horter and Policeman Gilroy
were sent to the house to investigate
and found the various rooms topsy
turvy.
Thieves entered the rooms of James Fer
roa on the second floor in a tenement at a
Stone street some time yesterday after
noon between 3 and A O'Clock and stole ar
ticles valued In all at about 1925. Entrance
was effected by a kitchen door, the thief
using a key, 1t is thought, and the exit
was made through the bedroom door and
down the stairway leading to the street.
The matter was reported to Captain Brown
at the Second Precinct station last night.
Ferroa is a stonecutter and at work at
the time the thief operated. Ferroa's wife
had gone to the grocery store. While she
was out the place was entered. Forty-five
dollars was stolen, iii addition to a dozen
silver teaspoons, a silver toilet set, dress
suit case, two razors. two revolvers and a
pair of patent leather shoes. Fortunately
for Mrs. Ferroa, jewelry she says is worth
$500 was not in her own home when the
thief got in. Her father was taking care
of the jewelry, she said.
