TWO ARE Hello ON
BURGLARY CHARGE
Joseph Sebring Confesses Hav-
ing Stolen Whisky and
Champagne.
HIS PAL ENTERS DENIAL
Refuses to Plead Guilty and Is
Placed Under 81 900 Bonds for
Preliminary Hearing.

Pleading guilty to the charge of bur
glary and larceny preferred against
him as the outcome of the robbery
of the saloon of Peter DeKuyper at
1921 Second avenue, New Years
night, Joseph Sebring, arrested yes
terday by Detective William Caulfield,
was today bound over to the grand
jury under bonds of $1,000. Patrick
McAnaa, arrested along with Sebring,
charged with the same crime, refused
to enter plea of guilty in the court
of Magistrate c. J. Smith and his
case was continued till next Saturday
morning, at which time it is thought
there will be sufficient evidence to
warrant the court in holding him to
the grand jury. His bond was fixed
at 1000 and he will await hearing
in the county Jail.
TAKE WET GOODS.
1t is the statement of Dennis Ben
nett, complainant in the case, that
two cases of whisky and eight bottles
of champagne, valued at $25, were in
cluded in the list of wet goods stolen
Entrance was gained through a rear
door, the saloon was ransacked and
the robbers made away with the
liquor long before opening time next
morning. When the robbery was dis
covered, the police were summoned
and at once the victims were asked
| if the two men now under arrest had
been seen lettering around the place
An affirmative answer led to the issu
ance of the warrants and their arrests
yesterday. 1t was quick work on the
part of the police department and i
is more than probable that witnesses
will show that the right men have
been gathered. There is a possibilit!
that Sebring will gladly turn state!
evidence and tell of the entire rob
berry. The goods that were stoleI
have not yet been recovered.

BOTH MATERIALS
MIGHT Be USED
Second Avenue Merchant Sug-
gests Asphalt and Blocks
in Pavement.
LATTER \ BETWEEN RAILS
Thus Affording an Opportunity to
Test Both Side by Side
Pleased With Attitude.

'Inasmuch as the sentiment seems
to an extent to be divided between as
phalt and wood blocks for the repair
ing of Second avenue, why not use
both" remarked a long time Second
avenue business man this morning.
las l understand it, the Tri-City Rail-
way company is decidedly opposed to
the use of asphalt between the rails
for practical reasons, but is not averse
to wood blocks. AS a matter OF fact
the employment of this material on
Third avenue would seem to indicate
preference for this material on the
part of the railway company.
81 am not a property holder on Sec
ond avenue, but l am tenant OF long
standing, and in so far as the best in,
terests of the street are concerned,
am naturally concerned in having the
best. 1t is the tenant who is to fee
the benefit of a good street or the dis
advantage of the poor street quite as
much as the property holder, for what
is to the improvement of the street is
to the benefit of business, and, in the
end, it is business that makes tht
street. So as business man l am in
terested. Therefore l suggest the try
ing of both kinds of material-the as
phalt on the sides and the wood block
between the rails. This would affort
an opportunity to test both side b,
side.
A GOOD SIGN.
'It is certainly gratifying to an in
terested observer to note the harmon,
and unanimity of expression wit
which the Second avenue propert
! holders have gone into the repavin
; of the street. This is cheering to mel
, chants who rent large percentage @
/ the property, and it must be encouras
ing to the entire city. There are n
: obstructionists among the Second ave
nue. property holders. They are, as
: take it from reading the papers, wit
, one accord for repaving the avenu,
and doing it right.
( The only thing that has worried m
is the possibility of delay in the fin;
choice Of material. There is consider;
Bile to do, and winter is about ha
: spent. The details and other prelin
: inaries ought to be pushed through &
D., rapidly as possible, to the end tn;
S the court proceedings may be dispose
< of and the contract let, so that actu
J. operations may begin as soon as Il
frost is out of the ground in Il
spring.
AVOID DELAY.
L do hope, therefore, that the col
: mittee in charge of the canvass to a
certain definitely the preferences
y the property holders will not delay i
a work, and that the property holde
= may at an early date have their NEE
; ing to authorize the board of publ
- improvements to proceed"

When Glen Goble, of the firm of

Nineteenth street this morning he
