Booty Taken.

Reports of a dozen or more burglaries ana
robberies in the dwelling house district and the
upper East Side have sent detectives scurryins
about in a vain attempt to spread net Tor a
big catch Thus far their efforts have oeeh
futile and in the time reports are coming
regularly of bold robberies which seem TO De
committed with systematic precision
Since Sunday night numerous reports nave
come of burglars entering houses between 42d
and ssth streets The biggest hauls made were
in the homes of Anson B. Moran broker, with
offices at No. % Broad street. Albert Rathbone'
a lawyer, whose office is at No. "a Wall street.
and the home Of Mrs Philip Sands. No 139
East sgd street.
Some time on Sunday night the robbers
gained an entrance to the Moran home at No
1873 East 64th street by climbing a fence and
forcing a side window. They stripped the place
of silverware obtaining booty valued at about
S., 900
The burglars then evidently climbed fence
between the Moran house and that of Albert
Rathbone who lives directly in the rear of the
first house at No 13O East 65th street They
ransacked the house for silverware and jeweiry
and made haul valued at several thousand
dollars Among other things missing from the
Rathbone home is q gold bracelet studded with
fifteen diamonds, a number of watches and a
Loyal Legion pin which was valued very hlghiy
by Mr. RathoOne-
A man. employed by Mr. Rathbone to care for

that a rear window had been forced Mr. ana
Mrs Rathbone had spent the night at the home
of a relative. They were informed of the ROD

From the Rathbone house the burglars are
supposed have gone directly to the house OF
Mrs. Philip Sands, where an easily opened rear
burglars made off with another bag of silver
ware. valued about $500. Reports of other
entrances to houses in the neighborhood, where
the burglars were not successful, have been
made to the police
The boldness with which the outlaws operate
is shown by the hold-up of Daniel kusrna, of
No. 344 East 10th street, who robbed of an
overcoat almost within the shadow of the East
51st street police station The police believe
that the same robbed Kusma who have
been robbing houses in the neighborhood-
Kusma with companion, he told the po-
lice and had stopped for a chat in the shadow
of the Children's Hospital, directly across the
street from the station house He said he was
approached by two men, and while one held him
the other stripped him of his overcoat-a new
coat. which he said cost him SO.
Kusma reported the robbery to Lieutenant
Mangin and detectives detailed on the
case. Detectives working throughout
