BOY BURGLARS USE
A WIRELESS PLANT
Modern Methods Are Employed
by Young Criminals in
Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, July 25.-When Po-
licemen Bowe and Browning yesterday
arrested four boys, whose ages range
from IA to IL years, in a deserted
shack at the corner of Blades and
Winter streets, they did not know that
they had unearthed anything more
than gang of youthful petty thieves,
but today it was discovered that this
gang has been operating the most
modern and down TO date burglars
club" ever found in the city. with
wireless telegraphy as one Of its prin-
cipal features.
Arthur Smith. II years of age, seems
to be the ruling spirit. of the gang,
and he was also the operator of the
principal wireless station. Four other
stations were operated, and members
of the gang were kept informed of
one another's movements by wireless,
according TO the police
In fact. il was discovered today that
there are seven members of the gang
and that Smith was able to communi-
cate with three of the~ members after
his arrest at the shack and acquaint
them with the presence of the police
and permit them to hide They were
captured today.
John Brown, Is; Burnett Ward, Is,
with Smith. All reside in the neigh
borhood with their parents. but it is
alleged they have been engaged in
petty thievery, bicycle stealing and
burglary for months. A deep pit near
the central wireless station operated
by Smith contained much loot. The
police say Smith has confessed.
