DETECTIVE TRUMB0 BUSY
ELEVEN COMPLAINTS IN WEEK

Bicycle thieves have been abnormally
active. They have taken wheels faster
than Detective Trumbo. specialist in
such thefts. can properly attend to COM
paints
There IS a theory obtaining in police
circles that several bicycle thieves have
combined forces and are secreting their
plumber or are sending II away from
the city. Such scheme was worked
several years ago Detectives located
hiding places and recovered scores on
wheels. On another occasion the plan OF
the thieves was to sell the stolen prop
erty TO railroad laborers in Virginia.
1t is easy to steal bicycles. 1t is easy
to disfigure them to prevent identihca-
ton.
Owners OF whee.s are even more care
less with their silent steeds than they
were years ago. Few think OF using a
lock on wheels when left about the
streets
Invitation to Steal.
The leaving of wheels about the
streets unprotected said a member OF
the police department last evening. lis
practically an invitation to dishonest
persons to steal them. II they were
locked the temptation would not be SO
great. Dishonest persons would be
afraid of being detected In the act OF
breaking a lock or chain. Such conduct
would undoubtedly attract attention and
be the means of getting more bicycle
thieves behind the bars
Last week eleven wheels were stolen
Owners entered complaints at police
headquarters. Detective Trumbo did
what he could to help them. Those re-
porting losses were Harry Wilkerson.

Trumbo Hard at It.
Last evening Detective Trumbo was
mailing descriptive lists Of stolen wheels
to police departments and dealers in this
city. Baltimore. Cumberland and other
places in Maryland and Virginia.
When stolen wheels are taken from
here to other cities some. taken by per-
sons unable to pay car fare, are aban-
doned. while others are sold to dealers or
| individuals. Most troublesome to find
are those sold in the country.
So great has been the increase In the
number OF thefts of wheels during recent
months that Maj. Sylvester may have to
detail two men to investigate such cases.
Detective Trumbo, who has had charge
of the work for several years, has not
confined his labors to the bicycle thefts.
| In recent months ne has been called upon
| to perform other service.
During the last quarter. however he
managed to- recover more property. than
any other man in the detective ONCE, al
| though he did not make as many arrests
as some others. The property he recov.
| cred was valued at $1,O92.

TEASING BAD HABIT THAT
ALL SHOULD TRY TO

Perhaps there Is no habit so easily
acquired, SO greatly INDUCED in or so
universally disagreeable TO humanity
as teasing. In no phase or condition
of life can It possibly prove other than
q selfish pleasure, and IL possessing
no desirable qualities why encourage
or cultivate Il?
Teasing borders almost invariably
upon injustice. and Is so frequently
