SAY BOY ROBBED
MANY PASSENGERS
Trying to Fix Immigrant
Thefts on Youth.

In the arrest of eleven-year-old Frank
krunen, Of Uniontown, Pa, on Wednes-
day at .the Union Station, railroad de-
tectives believe they have the thief who
has recently been rlfiing the pockets of
passengers on the immigrant trains pass
ing through Pennsylvania. Frank was
arrested Wednesday at the Union Sta
ton, when he was found by the con-
ductor OF q train hiding beneath an
overcoat in one of the coaches. The
boys father was communicated with, but
the parent replied that because of poy-
erty he would be unable to send for his
boy.
| Detectives who arrested the boy testi-
fled that they found a gold watch and
two SO bills when Frank was searched
number of secret pockets were found
In the boys clothes.
According to the boys story, he met
man who said he was going to New
York and the boy replied that the great
metropolis was his destination too. The
man then took the boy on a train and
hid him under his overcoat. Frank told
Judge Do Lacy that his travelling COM
panion had three twenty-dollar bills and
two tens.
He said that the man dropped the two SO
bills and his gold watch on the floor
and that he picked them up. Frank add
ed that his drunken companion went into
the next coach with a colored man and
that when he returned he no longer had
his three twenties.
Judge De Lacy did not believe the story
of the boy. He thinks that Frank has
escaped from some correctional institu-
ton. Che train on which the boy was
found was an immigrant train. The
boy admitted that he frequently sold pa
pers on the immigrant trains between
Uniontown and Connersville. Detectives
believe that the youngster has committed
a number of robberies which have re-
Gently been reported by passengers OF the
immigrant trains passing through Penn
sylvania.
The petition was withdrawn at the sug
gestion of Judge De Lacy. and an infor-
nation was prepared, charging the boy
with trespassing on railroad property.

TAKOMA PARK.

Considerable excitement was caused In
Cedar street yesterday afternoon when
workmen attempted to connect the new
gas main. The flow of gas from the
pipe was sufficient to overcome about
half a dozen men, ali of whom were
finally revived by the use of stimulants.
Considerable comment was caused by the
manner In which the man in charge of
the work treated some of the men who
were overcome. The police finally pre-
vented him from roughly handling the
men. Most of the men as soon as re-
vlved would rush back into the hole only
to De pulled out again in few minutes.
Red Cross Christmas stamps have been
placed on sale at Mattingly's pharmacy
1t is hoped that the residents of the park
will use them on all packages and letters
to help the cause for which they are
issued.

FARM ELECTRICITY MADE.
Wallu Walla TillCrs Find Gasoline
Dynamos Are Big Aid

Walla Walla. Wash, April 90
Electricity is to play a great part in
the farm life of the Walla Walla val
ley, according to ranchers of this vi
cinity and engineers who are engaged
in the work of constructing the plants
More than a dozen farmers of the
country near here are installing such
plants, and will develop the electric
ty for their own use.
1t is cheaper, farmers assert, who
have tried it, to own a small electric
plant and to operate it by a gasoline
engine than to buy the power, and
it costs no more than half what the
local public companies are asking to
generate the power at home, they
say.
Many farmers have water power
chat will enable them to generate all
the electricity they need. Power site
holders are lucky. for they are now
planning to do The chores by cleo
tricity instead of by hand.
