experienced detectives who hold wide
ly divergent opinions on the subject.
Some are convinced that many women
steal simply because they cannot resist
the temptation TO obtain something for
nothing. Certainly many women steal
articles for which they have no use
and who are so well off financially that
there is no need to steal. Others hold
the opinion that "a thief is q thief

need or one who steals as q means of
living without working. Certain 1t is

I'm watching suspicious persons and
detecting thieves, secret signals and
words are employed that to the unsus-

"Of course, many shopllfters study
to disarm suspicion both by their gen

Many shoppers carry suit cases, as
do hundreds of honest shoppers, and
on taking their place at a counter leave
the suit case partly open at their feet,
so that articles may be quietly dropped
therein when the salesperson is not
looking. small purchase being made

DR.. Audrey and Miss Dslrymple were
the first to arrive; they came together
Awdrey with bright and cheerful smile
on his face, and perfectly calm Miss Dali

staunch and true for all that.
Next came Sir Roland Firkin; we had

how to conduct the inquiry. He was
nightly pleased with his own importance.
Then Bax and Mrs. Yeames arrived :;
Mr.. Bax pulled and gasped. bowling to one
and then the other with solemnity; Mrs.
Yeames passed TO her seat, after a low
obeisance to Sir Roland, without reeog-
nizing Dr. Awdrey and Miss Dalrymple,
except by drawing down her lips and con-
tracing her nostrils as she might in pass
ing an unsavory dust heap.
As the clock struck three Mrs. Bates,
who had been waiting outside, gave a sin
gle bang at the door and was introduced !:

of conscious virtue, gave her a strong re-
semblance to Mrs. Yeames-for the rea-
son, peFldpS, ludl tntiI airs sprung III

garity of mind.
Lynn Yeames came in two minutes
later, painting with the haste he had made,
and beaming ell over with that frank,
generous smile OF his. He looked round
the room, saw DR.. Awdrey standing beside
Miss Dalrymple, and srrode up to him,
head erect, shoulders back and his hand
out, as if to say before us ALI do not
share this common Ill opinion OF my old
friend"
DR.. Audrey stood perfectly still. and
looked straight in Lynn's face without
moving a muscle, letting him stand there
with his extended hand untaken. With a
sigh and shrug ynn dropped his hand
and turned away.
Mr.. Bax approached the table, put his
knuckles ON it, and, after bowling to Sir
Roland Firkin, said impressively:
Il was given to understand this was
to be an amicable inquiry. The hostile
attitude of DIR. Awdrey towards my
friend, Mr.. Lynn Yeames-"

the thief is placed under arrest, taken
out of the place as quietly as possible
and removed to police station, where
she is searched by the police matron,
and a charge of theft made against
her. The experienced shoplifter usually
seeks to make as little disturbance az
possible when caught, relying upon
quieter methods of getting out of her
dilemma.

en- In this capacity is absolutely neces-
sary, for women can do excellent work
where men would be worse than use
less. For instance, if male detective
should be seen in the crowd at bar
gain sale or at a counter where an UNI
usually large number Of women were
congregated, the suspicious of any wom-
an shoplifter in the crowd would be i'm
mediately aroused and she would trans
fer her activities elsewhere, where no
man was directly in evidence.
Arresting Thief.
''When a detective notes the theft of
any article she follows the thief from
counter to counter and thence out of
the store, where the offender is ar
rested, not by the female detective,
but by one of the male detectives of
the establishment, who has been no
titled hurriedly by one of the statesmen
or saleswOmen. who are uncommonly
quick to take in such a situation,
knowing the identity OF the men or
women detectives; or by some police
man near the store to whom the female
detective would appeal. The arrest of
a shoplifter never is made inside the
store if it can be avoided, and for two
reasons, one being the probability of q
scene being created, which is to be
avoided, while the likelihood of the
case against the shoplifter sticking
when 1t comes up in court is much
greater if he or she is found with the
stolen goods in their possession out
side of the building.
",rhe best detectives are those who
are unobtrusive in manner and appear
ance. as to attract attention is the last
thing desired in that work. Then they
have strict orders not TO remain at one
spot too long. They are to keep NOV
ing about in a careless way.
zone of the chief deterrents to shop
lifting in the New York department
stores is the fact that 1t is known by
these criminals that vigorous and de
termined steps are now taken to prose
cute them when arrested, and a long
stay at Sing Sing or Auburn prison Is

RESTS WITH PRESIDENT.
WM Decide Fate Of Eight Military
Academy Cadets.
FFrom The Tribune Bureau. j

Washington, July 24-President Roosevelt
will decide whether the eight cadets of the Mill
tary Academy who have been suspended for
hazing shall be dismissed after a years sus-
pension shall be severely reprimanded and per-
mitted to re-enter the academy. All the papers
in the cases of the cadets. including the testi-
mony which justified the recommendation of
dismissal and which Colonel H. L. Scott, the
superintendent of West Point. is understood to
have emphatically approved, Will be carefully
considered at Oyster Bay before final action is
taken.
The dismissal of a cadet from the Military
Academy. like the dismissal of q midshipman
from the Naval Academy, requires the action Of
the President Hitherto in such instances as
the present the young men so adversely affected
exercise such political or Congressional infu-
they possess to obtain executive Glenn
ency. In instances this leniency is mani
tested, and particularly when 1t is shown that
there are extenuating circumstances. 1t is
considered. however. that it is. entirely in the
interest of the discipline of the Military Acad-
emy to approve the recommendation of the su-
perintendent when the dismissal Of cadets Is
involved
Probably the only relief for the eight cadets
who have been sent home will be by legis-
lation invoked at the next session of Congress
for the special benefit Of the young The
policy Of the War Department has been in oppo-
sition to legislation OF this character. and any
attempt to restore the hazing cadets to the
Military Academy is destined to be vigorously
resisted by the authorities largely for the rea-
son that the return to West Point Of cadets who
have been dismissed constitutes an injury to
academic discipline, the effect Of which is likely
to be far-reaching.
Secretary Wright, who returned to-day from
trip of inspection of the manonuvre
camp at Chattanooga, Tenn. received a call
from the eight suspended cadets. Mr.. Wright
had not had time to examine the report which
had been submitted to him.
After a few minutes Of informal talk with
the young men. all of whom. the Secretary said,
impressed him bright. manly fellows. Secre-
tary Wright said:
Now, honest, boys. tell me just what you
did to get yourselves into this scrape."
Cadet Rossell, an honor man of the first class
and son of Lieutenant Colonel William T. Fos-
SELL of the engineer corps of the army. stepped
forward as spokesman. He said perhaps he
had been more to blame than any Of the others.
but he felt that had committed serious
offences He explained frankly and briefly the
nature of the hazing Of the plebes. "Bracing,"
Rosseu explained. "an exaggerated form of
bringing a plebe to attention. " He said that
all of them had been through such an expert
ence, which. far from being brutal or hu1niliat-
ing, tended to make the right sort Of men of
cadets.

His mother has visited him since he was
sent to Bellevue, although she was in this city
yesterday and the prisoner expected 10 see her.
His wife visited him yesterday. as she has each
