BURGLARS ARE BUSY
IN SPITE OF POLICE
SNEAK TAKES MONEY FROM
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
Steals Six Dollars Which Had Been
Left in a Nurses Desk to Buy
Clothes for Little
Patient

Burglars and sneak thieves continue
to commit robberies in spite of the efforts
of the police department and detective
bureau to bring them to halt.
Six burglaries were committed early
yesterday morning and were reported to
the police.
None of the thieves was caught.
One of the reasons given by the de-
tectives for their failure to capture the
burglars is that a report of the robbery
is not made to the station until several
hours after it is committed
For this reason the only way the
officers have of catching the thief is by
watching those arrested on suspicion in
the hope of finding stolen property on
him. or by finding some of the stolen
goods in pawnshops.
Early yesterday morning a sneak thief
entered the Children's hospital, 769
CASTELAR,, and stole $6 which had been
left in the head nurses desk.
This money was to be used to purchase
clothing for a little child taken there
some time ago. 1t is thought the sneak
thief knew the money had been taken
to the hospital and had watched where
it was placed.
Morris Sofsky, proprietor of the store
at 365 East First street, reported to
the police yesterday that a burglar had
entered his place by forcing rear
window and had carried off goods valued
at $3.50
Burglar Steals Clothes
Among the articles taken by the thief
were four suits of Clothes two coats and
two vests, nine watches and a number
of watch chains
Lucy Ludlow, 442 East Twenty
street, reported that a burglar had en-
tered her room and stolen five gold rings,
two of which were set with diamonds A
small brooch was also taken. The total
value of the stolen articles was $3.50.
Mrs. John McNelly, 1888 East Washing
ton street, reported that a gold neck
chain and a valuable brooch We're stolen
fl ON her home some time early yesterday
morning. Mrs. McNelly was at home at
the time but did not hear the robber in
the house.
Urbano Cerero, a Mexican boy, re-
ported that a room worker had entered
his room at The Piedpoint, 1171a East
First street. and stolen a silver watch
the young man inherited from his father.
Harry Ford, 1910 East Fourteenth street,
reported to the police that S. in money
and two gold watcnes were stolen from
his room by burglar some time yester-
day morning. The entire house was ran
sacked but nothing else of value was
taken.
