BuruIarS Steal the Christmas
Receipts of Five and Ten
Cent Establishment.
LEAVE GLOVES AS A CLEW
Enter Building Through Glass
Rooted Extension-Police Sat
isfied That Thieves Were Ex-
perienced Burglars.

Burglars blew open the safe in a Harlem
and 10 cent store early yesterday morn
ing and got away with about 5000 in cash.
They covered their tracks neatly, taking
away with them all their tools, leaving only
a pair Of gloves. The safe door was shat
tered and not much opportunity was af-
forded TO the detectives to get fingerprints.
After an Investigation the police were sat
isficd that the robbery was committed by
sklful cracksmen. as nothing pointed to
the bungling amateur.
The robbery was in the store OF s 5.
Kresge, at Nos ls2 and le4 West 12ath
street Kresge runs chain Of stores. His
Harlem establishment always does big
business, and Saturday the Christmas
shopping made the receipts particularly
large. Practically all of the money was in
silver and small bills, and must have given
the burglars trouble in taking IL away.
William Clark, watchman OF Loews
Theatre, at Seventh avenue and lAth
street. was in the rear Of that building yes
terday morning at o'clock when he hap
pened 20 glance over at the Kresge store.
He saw that a big hole had been cut in
the roof Of a small wooden, Slass-rooted
extension. Investigating further, he found
the safe i'm the Kresge store sprawling
open, its door blown almost from the
hinges. lie informed the police.
\ wire hanging from one Of the electric
light sockets showed that the burglars had
used an electric Grill to bore holes in the
safe door Everything pointed TO nitro
clycerine as the explosive used. Rugs had
been taken from the store stock and
wrapped around the safe TO mufiie the eN-
ploson.
on the floor was a pair of heavy gloves
used TO handle the electric drill, and also
10 prevent finger prints on the safe door.
All clever burglars. according to the police,
wear gloves nowadays Stuck 10 the pane
of glass, which lay on the glass roof, was a
piece of paper 1t is favorite scheme 10

Nothing else I'm the store except the saie

Of Detectives Delaney, Hawkins and Nor

Another robbery in Harlem on sunday
night was in the cellar barber shop OF Al

from the wireless messages picked up by

messages contained many dots and dashes,
which to the trained ears OF the operators
spelled money. and It became evident that
the passengers were laying wager on
wager as TO which vessel would drop an

The Oceana was an hour out into the
Atlantic when the Bermudian pulled out
Of her berth IN the North River Saturday.
but carly Yesterday the Bermudian picked
up the light of her rival off the port bo,,
and gradually began 10 overhaul her, in
spite of the prayers Of the Oceana's pas
sengers that the furnaces be piled high
with everything bunable aboard.
II wasn't long after breakfast that the
first challenge sprang from the parallel
wires above the Bermuda's deck across
the intervening air 10 the Oceana. In two
minutes it had been accepred. ana the rest
of the morning was taken up in register
