him in the grip of two policemen, and
recognizing him. told his father, William
Clayton, a stationary engine fireman.
Have you the wanderlust, or are
you a gypsy?" asked the court. Several
more questions were propounded before
the boy replied. II appears ne has been
curling himself up every night on front
porches. Judge De Lacy asked him II
he were taking the fresh air cure.
Il don't want to go home" he told
the court.

Thief Makes Effort
To Enter Curio Place

Report was made to the police Of the
First precinct yesterday that an attempt
had been made last night TO enter Han
cocks saloon. 1234 Pennsylvania avenue
northwest. The would-be thief removed
a pane of glass from one of the ground
floor windows in the front Of t1e build
ing. Access to the place could easily
have been gained after this, and that
the establishment was not ransacked Is
believed by the police to be due to the
fact that the intruder probably was
frightened away.
The proprietor of the famous old tav-
ern, which boasted Daniel Webster and
many other celebrities among its Gus
toners in the early days. Is Of the
opinion the thief probably was after
some of the Souvenirs and relics for
which the place is famous. Some OF
these are regarded as almost priceless
by the owner, and have been much
sought after by culio collectors.
A careful inventory, however, reveal
ed that everything was intact. A pc
culiar feature of the affair is the fact
that the would-be robber carried away
the glass he cut from the window.
