FOUR BOYS HELD
FOR ROBBER|ES;
'FAGIN' SUSPECTED
Young Prisoners Accused OF
Looting Stores.
THREE PISTOLS FOUND

Suspected Of ten burglaries, accused
OF two. and believed to be members OF
an organized band of juvenile thieves
under the tutelage of a "Fagin,' four
boys, Ianging in age from twelve to
sixteen years, were captured by the
police of the Sixth precinct yesterday
and are being held at the House of De-
tention, awaiting arraignment to-day
before Judge De Lacy on charges of
housebreaking
EVIDENCE On BOYS.
Three revolvers, a handful of cart
ridges, packages OF cigarettes, chewing
gum, candy, and other treasures alleged
to be the fruit of midnight prowIings
were taken from the youthful prisoners.
the police say. and will be submitted in
evidence in addition to the confession,
which officials claim, the boys made
shortly after their arrest.
The boys arrested are Leroy Murray,
fifteen years old. of Isl Massachusetts
avenue; Matthew Vucinovich, sixteen
years old. Of 81 Massachusetts, avenue;
John Hand, sixteen years old, of S0S New
Jersey avenue. and Albert Sutton, twelve
years old, of 632 Third street. They were
taken in custody by Policemen Beaure-
gard, MalOney. Evans, and Mccarthy.
Search is being made for a man who
played the Dickens role of ':Fagin," it
is believed, and initiated the lads in the
art OF thievery. Officials are skeptical
of the supposition that the lads not only
planned but executed the robberies with
out the guidance of an older and
shrewder head. The police believe the
man has learned of the arrest of his
pupils and escaped from the city.
List of Robberfes.
Charges against the lads include the
robberies of Angelo Da Prata, at 227 d
street northwest and William Gray, at
PA H street northwest, both of whom con-
duct small stores and carry stocks Of
candles and other supplies tempting to
youth.
Da Prata's shop was entered between
midnight and o'clock in the morning
through a rear door, pried open with a
Jimmy" A revolver, about 80 pennies,
cigarettes, and chewing gum
were stolen. Gray's cash register was
broken open and its contents taken.
The police expect to show that three
other robberies committed within the last
two weeks were perpetrated by the band
Of boys. Officials declare the lads may
have been carrying on their alleged dep
relations for months.

the White House. was at the New VIII
lard Hotel steaming mad. President
Taft was in the embarrassing attitude of
having his secretary advocating one man
and his Postmaster General another. Mr..
Hilles. however, stood firmly by his guns
and there was no doubt at a late hour
tonight that New will be the chairman
OF the committee.
The friction that has arisen over the
craftsmanship Of this committee has led
to talk of the possibility of New being
elected chairman of the national COM
mittee instead of Hill. to bridge over the
time until the committee selects another
chairman after the convention.
Postmaster General Hitchcock declared
tonight that he was being misrepresented
in the situation: that he had not entered
it voluntarily, but had been invited to
the conferences at the White House.
