R0BBER GANG BROKEN UP
BOY FLAT THIEVES SENT TO
REFORM SCHOOL.
Convicted on Many Charges of Loot
ing Apartment Houses OF
Valuable Articles.

Four colored youths. members of what
the police term a gang of young fiat
thieves" arrested recently by central Of
flee detectives, were arraigned before
Judge DeLacy of the Juvenile Court yes
terday afternoon. Three of them. Her
bert Green. Frank Mercer and John Stew
art, fourteen, fifteen and sixteen years
old, respectively. were sentenced to the
reform school until they become of age.
The fourth. Seymore Anderson, fifteen
years old, was acquitted because of the
lack of evidence.
There were no less than seven different
cases of housebreaking and larceny
charged against the boys, and as each
case represented a special assignment in
the central office. a large force of detec-
tives was in the court to give testimony.
The testimony showed that already S1CO
worth of property stolen by the boys at
different times in the past several months
had been recovered. and the police were
still on the hunt for more.
The testimony revealed that the three
convicted boys made their entries into
the places they robbed by means of Win
dows pass keys, and helped themselves
to anything they could conveniently carry,
ranging from clothing and bric-a-brac to
expensive jewelry.
With the convictions the police believe
they have finally solved the majority of
the puZzling thefts and robberies reported
during the winter and fall.

TWO SIDES OF BRIDGE MATTER
TUG OWNERS AND RAILROADS
PRESENT CLAIMS.
Chamber of Commerce Committee
Hears Arguments For and Against
Hinged Stack Proposition.

Railroad men and tugboat men met yes
terday- afternoon and discussed with the
committee of the Chamber of Commerce
on freight and transportation both sides
of the question raised by a bill which
may be brought before the House shortly
to require all tugboats on the Potomac to
be equipped with hinged smokestacks
thus obviating the necessity of opening
drawbrdges. The railroad men are very
much in favor of having the bill become
a law, and yesterday cited instances OF
delays of trains and cars of from five
to fifteen minutes several times every day.
On the other hand. the tug owners de-
clared that to put hinges on the stacks
would be hardship, would entail extra
expense in the way OF equipment and
would mean that a larger crew would have
to be carried on each boat. The matter
was discussed for two hours and then re-
ferred to a future meeting for set
Element as to whether or not the cham
Der would be asked to indorse the bill.
The railroad men brought into the argu-
ment the statement that several thou
sand people enter Washington daily over
the bridges across the Potomac, and that
many of the trains and cars carrying
hundreds of people. are delayed because
tusboat with a scOwload of stone is APP
preaching the bridge passing through
the draw. The electric cars were said
to be the greatest sufferers in this re-
spect.
The tugboat owners said that there are
about fifteen tugs owned in Washington
and Alexandria, and that many of them
are equipped with pilot houses so high
that the draw bridges would have to be
opened for them whether they carried
hinged stacks or not. According to law
the whistle has to be placed two feet
above the pilot house; the exhaust pipe
must be the same height as the smoke
stack for mechanical reasons. and the
Flagstaff has to be a certain height in
order to carry the proper signal lights.
Therefore, all the projections would have
to be hinged. and an extra man would be
required to attend to them
Inasmuch as several of the tugs have
the high pilot house and the bridges have
to respond to the whistle for the draw
bridge, the river men could not the
justice of requiring the change proposed.
The discussion will be continued at a
future meeting. The tugboat men were
sounded on the proposition of allowing the
railroad people and others interested in
portion of the extra expense involved.
but no definite reply was received. The
matter will probably come up at the
next meeting.
