NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-There was a
distinct improvement in the security
market, bears covering their contracts
and the special work of bulls interested

noticeable. There was but little real
reason for the better feeling and the
higher prices which were established in

the close when it became rumored that
the Western roads would be granted
about 20 per cent of the increases they
had asked, and the Eastern roads about
80 per cent. If this report should prove
to be we'll founded there would be
sufficient back of it to cause a decidedly
sharp recovery on which more stock

DOG ARRESTED ON
CHARGE OF THEFT
Judge" Einstein, of Canine
Court, to Arraign Him as
Habitual Criminal.

At last. the bread thief has been ap-
pretended.
With two loayes tucked under his arm
or. rather. under his chin-the thief
was caught with the goods this
morning by Policeman Scriven, of the
Sixth precinct, and locked up, not tr
The station house, but in the pound
where Judge" Samuel Einstein, en-
voy extraordinary and minister plcni-
potentiary from the District OF Colum-
bia to dogs in general, will pass sentence
on him.
( 1t might be well to explain that the
thief who has stolen bread from door
steps all over the city during the last
two weeks is a dog-just big, shaggy
stray dog, of no special breed. without
a collar or tag, and apparently without
a home or a friend.
Escapes From Officer.
For the last two weeks reports have
been made at the different station
houses that bread was being stolel
from doorsteps every morning. PolicE
all over the city were searching FOL
the thief, but not a clue to his identity
was obtained until Sergeant Sanford, oi
the Second precinct. saw the dog car
ryinC away two loaves from n house
near Ninth and NJ streets northwest
Sanford managed to rescue the Dread
but the thief escaped.
A few hours later the police OF the
other precincts could hardly believe
their eyes when a lookout" was re-
ceived for a dog wanted on a charge OF
larceny. 1t was the first time In the
history of the department that an ami
NAL had been formally charged with
theft.
Standing in front of the house at 3O6 F
street northwest, Policeman Scriven was
surprised to see a dog, wagging its tail.
run past him, and start to carry away
two loaves of bread from the porch.
SCriven, after an exciting chase through
Judiciary square, caught the thief.
Marched to Station House.
Back to the station he marched with
his hand on the dogs collar.
Take the prisoners name and ad-
dress and lock him up on a charge Of
larceny" Scriven told Desk Sergeant
Murphy.
Who are you talking about?" in
quired Murphy.
Il mean just what l say added
Scriven. This prisoner is under arrest
for stealing"
Finally it was decided to turn the dog
over TO Mr.. Einstein, who will sit as
judge of the canine court and pass
sentence.
II will arraign the prisoner under the
habitual criminal act," said Mr. Elm
stein.
