COMMITTEE WILL
 INSPECT WORK

For the purpose of determining whether the Southern railway must tear down a bridge on Twenty eighth street and build a new one, and whether that company must participate in the construction of an underpass at Fifteenth avenue, com mittee of the council will probably visit the scene of the new construction this week.
 It has been announced that the commit tee to which this question was referred had appointed a subcommittee to look into the proposed work on the ground and report to the general committee later.
 The improvements that are being made in that section of the city contemplate the construction of a concrete underpass at Fifteenth avenue for the proposed loop of the Norwood car line, which is to re- turn to the city on that avenue rather than on Twelfth avenue, as is now the case. The Southern railway owns the right-of-way at the two points crossed by the car line, and is resisting the efrof;s of the city to force their contributing to the work.
 l., Sevier, general agent of the company, will accompany the committee to look over the proposed work.

MANY bURGLAR|ES
 ARE REPORTED
Police Puzzled Over Series of Burglar Reports Con-
 ing From One Section

4 series of burglaries confined to sev- eral blocks on the Northside have been worrying the police and detective depart ments considerably and the matter came to head yesterday morning when eight men reported to the department the loss of money during the night
 Detectives Williams, Murphy, Jones and Gates took the case and spent yesterday in an effort to unravel the mystery of the supposed burglares. The burglaries have been going on for a week and are con- fined within the limits of Fifth and SeV- enth avenues and Seventeenth to Twen- ty-sixth streets.
 The burglaries last night were on Fourth and Fifth avenues and in no case did the thieves leave the least trace of their work In the majority of cases the entrances to the residences were made through the windows of the second floor.
 The police have many theories to the Identity of the burglars, but it is thought that they are two professional porch climbers. Acting on such a theory tie detectives are watching the haunts of such crooks closely.
 It is practically impossible for the detec- tives to locate the criminals, as they have taken nothing in any case but money It is useless to watch the pawn shops, as there is nothing to pawn. This is taken as going to show that the burglars are unusually clever.
 The following men reported to the de- tectives, that they had been robbed of various sums of money during Saturday night:
 Harrison Howell, 241o Fifth avenue, North, $25o in money. Entrance through q window.
 F. F. McCaley, 241S Fifth avenue, Northi s14 in money. Entrance through window
 S. Lauderdale 24O0 Fourth avenue. North, s7o in money. Entrance through window.
 A. M Tell, 240O Fourth avenue, So in money. Entrance through a window.
 A. M Slaughter. 24so Fifth avenue, North. s4SO in money. Manner of en- trance unknown.
 J. T. Grant 243O Fifth avenue, North, s2 in money. Entrance unknown.
 A. M. Randall, 243O Fifth avenue, North. st in money Maner of entrance un- known.
 w. M. Fancher, 621 Twenty-thrd street, faorth, one pair of trousers containing some money. Entrance through window.
 At 7:45 o'clock last night the burglar alarm at the police station went off. reg istering Twenty-second street and Eighth avenue, North. The detectives, headed by Capt Martin Eagan, hurried to the sceno in the patrol wagon, thinking that the burglars might be those who have been giving the police so much trouble during the past week.
 When they arrived at the house they searched the store thoroughly, but failed to find any burglars. Investigation showed that the wires connecting the de- partment with the alarm had gotten crossed and the alarm resulted.
 The officers returned to the station house much chagrined, but Captain Fa- gan, determined to have his joke, came very near locking up two detectives and A reporter. who rode on the inside of the patrol. The men were seized by the war dens and hustled inside before the mis- take was discovered, when the laughter was uproarious

Mystic ShrinerS To
 Entertain Friends

Arab patrol to contribute to the fun of the performance
 Beautifully engraved souvenir a-o- grammes will be distributed to the stern CT sex, while the fair ladies will be pre- sented with delicious candies. The two latter items are to take the place of the added 50 cents which will be charged. For the price tonight is s1, rather than 50 cents. as is the custom. The Shriners promise to make up in value for the extra disbursement
 It has been frequently gossiped that a rooster combat will be a feature of the evening. This Is correct. But for fear some attendants would be timid in that regard the following official manifesto has been sent out by the commander of the patrol, who is James Richmond Ms- Gregor:
 Tn the hope that the finer feelings of some of our friends may not be ruffled over a rooster fight on Shriners' night al the Bijou I wish to announce that the only blood to be spilled will be from some alleged chicken breaking a blood vessel trying to get away from McGregor's Chickasaw. That is all, boys and girls.
 Noble McAdory cannot interfere with the passing of a few feathers-three, in fact-so no one must think there will be any undue excitement caused by the fight.
 'I have a wireless from the training quarters of Chickasaw to the effect that he will come back, although the last fight in a Frisco gon' pretty near caused a bereavement in the camp

He wals { St Mary's at the morning service whe1 the Rev w N. Claybrook presented ' large class for confirmation. The bishd, in spite of his recent illness felt abll to occupy the pulpit and preached thu sermon to the class
 He sought by illustration to impress upon the members the duties and re responsibilities of their new relationship t the church.
 Tt Is customary to say of him who hal taken part in this service. He has joine; the church, said the bishop. 'Suppost, we put the church for a moment upon he| plane of any other organization wh b may be joined" Suppose a man joi the Masons or the Knights of Pythi. or some of the other similar organizs tions which are doing a great work il the world. Has he not new duties an3 obligations to meet? Suppose he joins bank, a law firm or any kind of~-sae cantile organization. Are not his r abilities increased? Would he do his if he did not contribute his effort. means to the success of the ente with which he has identified himself 4 not his relationships changed and ha not a new duty?
 But God has placed the church c much higher plane than any of th He has made it resemble the fami where our ties and obligations are mo binding And so when we enter th. church we assume responsibilities anl duties of the most exalted kind. dutieI which so many of us are apt to overIoos and misinterpret.
 ''Our best guide in these matters is 6 study of the life of our blessed Lore Jesus Christi
 The bishop then cited examples from the life of Christ to show that the high est duties of the man who identifies him. self with the church are ito be about my fathers business" and ito go about do- ing good"
 The church was filled yesterday and the music under the direction of Mrs. Gus sen was unusually impressive.
