BURG[AR|ES AND
 THEFTS REPORTED Progress Main Street Els tablishment Burglarized For the Second Time in Four Weeks
STEWART GETS DOPE
Young Negro Confessed to Theft Which Had Not Been Reported to AuthOrities-Iceb at Levy'S Home Robbed.

Early this morning, the second time within the past four weeks, the Pro- gress gents furnishing house on Main Estreet, was burglarized and Several hundred dollars worth of fine suits and other articles of wear carried away The thief or thieves entered the build ing through a transom over the front door, which is within stones throw of police headquarters and directly in view of the patrolman who is Isuppos- ed to walk a~beat along Main street. The store was burglarized in sim liar manner four weeks ago.
 When the proprietors of the place opened their store this morning they found their stock in a disordered con- dition, suits and other garments were recklessly thrown about the place and
 it will be difficult matter to ascer- tain accurately just how much goods were taken. 1t was estimated at the time of the first robbery that the firm sustained a loss of $500 by the first burglary. The value of the goods talk en last night will hardly reach that much, however.
 Ever since the burglary was con- mitted four weeks ago the authorities have been quietly working in an effort to apprtfe nd the guilty parties, but without s@acess. It is thought that the same thieves entered the building this morning. The fact that several fine suitcases were carried away leads the officers to believe that the rob- bers carried away their booty in them. The transom, over the front door, was found open this morning in the same manner as it was found af- ter the first burglary The transom was thought to be securely fastened last night when the store was closed.
 Other Thefts Reported.
 Monday afternoon when the dry goods department of Dreyfus big de- partment store was crowded with Christmas shoppers, negro woman made way with bolt of valuable silk and escaped before the theft was dis covered. The police are also working on this case.
 The home of Charles Levy on West Barraque street was burglarized Sun- day night and all the contents of a large ice box on a rear porch taken. Constable Frank Stewart walked in- to a negro restaurant on East Barra- que street last night and spied Lit Dewalt, a young negro, eyeing him rather nervously. He grabbed the ne- gro by the collar and after taking him to police headquarters frightened him into telling of theft in which he figured recently, but which had not been reported to the police. Con- stable Stewart knew that he had a bad reputation and he told him to "come across with all of it or he would send him over the road The negro, believing Stewart in possession of some information, told him that he had stolen a saddle from a horse which was tied to a post on Main street Sunday night, and had sold the sad dle to a man named Frederick for $2.
 He also admitted stealing several collars from Swift and Company's sta bles The stolen articles were recov- cred, but no owner can be found for the saddle.

On Tour Of Inspection


Il. A. Beals. United States weather
forecaster, is in the city for few days
on an inspection trip. Yesterday he
looked over the local situation and to-
day he win make trip to Fort Stevens
and tomorrow will 60 to North Head
and Fort Candy. After his work is
finished in this section he will go from
here to Aberdeen. His trip here is to
familiarize himself with local conditions
and see if the service can be improved
in any way. He il of the opinion that
this field is not covered as fully as it
should be and that regular observer
stationed here the same as formerly in
years past, would improve the service,
also that there should be change made
at the mouth of the river. When the
Office was established at North Head
the vessels used the north channel but
now days they use the south channel
and the station is too far away to prop
erly report vessels passing in.
