TOOK PAPERS AND MILK.
-Four Months for Negro Who Stole
Six Sunday Stars.

Charles Smith, negro youth who says
he came from Pittsburg to washington
two months ago to look for odd jobs, was
given a four-month Jail sentence by Judge
Mullowny in the Police Court today for
the theft Of six copies of the Sunday Star
and bottle of milk in the neighborhood
Of 18th and E streets early yesterday
morning.
Before imposing sentence Judge Null
lowry had the following to say about
thefts of newspapers from private houses:
1T is the meanest. dirtiest sort of steal
ing because, while the intrinsic value Is
small, it subjects both the subscriber and
the newspaper company to all sorts of
inconvenience. There has been too much
of this sort Of thing going on in different
parts of the city lately. and I propose to
do my part In breaking it up
Complaints to The Star office have been
numerous recently of the thefts Of sub
scriberS' copies in the locality where
Smith was arrested. The police Of the
first precinct took the matter up. and
yesterday morning Bicycle Policeman
Walsh was detailed to watch for the cul-
prits. Walsh hid himself in a vestibule a
little before 8 o'clock. A short while
afterward a colored boy came along. the
policeman says. helping himself to all
the Stars he could lay his hands on.
When Walsh arrested him, it was testi-
fed. he had six under his arm, and the
bottle Of milk.

TO HAVE LARGER ENGINE.
Power Launch Virginia Will Be
Made a Faster Boat.

The power launch Virginia, belonging to
l. A. Clarke & Son of this city, is at the
wharf foot of 10th street southwest. hav-
ing her gasoline engine removed prepare
tory to the installation of a twenty -one-
horsepower engine that is expected to
make her considerably faster and more
able to tow railroad tie-laden lighters
from shoal-loading POINTS to barges lying
In deep water to load.
The Virginia will probably be ready for
service in the latter part of this week
The launch was in Occoquan employed in
loading a barge for Philadelphia when
her engine became disabled. She was
towed TO this city and after inspecting
her. her owners determined that it was
more desirable to put a new engine in
her than attempt to repair the disabled
one. The Virginia was built several
years ago for pleasure cruising and in
spection work and the engine now being
taken out of her was rather too light
for the heavy service required of 1t.
