EXPERT BURGLARS
BECOMING SCARCE
Places Being Taken by Des-
perate "Yegg" Detective
Report Interesting

Interesting statements relative TO
bank robberies IN the United States
during the last year are contained in
the annual report Of Pinkerton's Nat
ional Detective Agency to the American
Bankers Association. copies OF which
were received la Washington to-day
During this period only eighteen
banks which are members OF the asso-
citation were robbed and the burglars
got away with but s21,50O.O1. while
eighty nine n-members lost a total OF
$137. .SO9.27.
Referring to past robberies. the re-
port says:
Prior to 1895 banks yearly lost hun
dreds Of thmousands OF dollars through
the operations OF professional expert
burglars. forgers. sneak thieves. and
hold-ups. The former expert profess
sional bank burglar. who operated
noiselessly with fine tools, has been re-
placed by the desperate "yegg," who
works clumsily with dynamite or nitro
glycerin on banks in small communi-
ties with little or no police protection.
and whose success and escape comes
from his reaching and leaving the scene
OF his crime by keeping concelaed in
the day time and walking OF riding on
freight trains at night, and being ut
terly regardless of human life, not hesi-
tating to shoot to kill TO avoid arrest or
naturalization.
THE former bands Of professional
forgers have been disbanded. most OF
most of them have been convicted oi
J are fugitives from justice in foreign
countries. The losses now to banks b,
forgery are mostly by the amateur o
beginner: there is but one band of dan
gerous forgers now operating. w,
know their indehtity. but have not We
been able 20 locate the presenters q
perfect the evidence for the arrest an
conviction Of the principals. The for

posit and Trust Company
Set Up New Claim

On behalf of 81 creditors OF the in
solvent California safe deposit and trust
company a petition was fled in the
superior court yesterday by the De-
positors' collection company for sums
totaling ssS,2419s.
The petition is of great length. COW
ering go typewritten pages. 1t was
prepared by Attorneys Charles c. Boyn-
ton and o. c. Wilson. The lawyers con-
tend that the sums sued for are in the
nature of preferred claims. the money
having been deposited in the bank two
or three days before it suspended pay
ment.
Under decisions already rendered by
Judge Seawell in connection with the
banks affairs they consider there is a
good chance of recovering the $SS.241.
The petition asserts that the money is
unlawfully in the hands OF Receiver
LIE Breton, and prays the court to order
him to pay it over to the claimants.
