Some scores of small boys who bathe
at the City bathhouse on largest Is
land will have to provide themselves
with bathing suits for awhile-or swim
in the nude-on account of an un-
foreseen scarcity in the supply of free
bathing suits.
This scarcity is caused by a gang
of small boys from the lower end of
the city who broke intothe bathhouse
some time Sunday and stole forty one
new suits that had been placed there
by Playground Instructor George H.
Hill, few hours before. A steel row.
boat from a locker nearby was also
taken.
Detective John Murnane was noti-

about a dozen of the suits-and took
the names of the 7wearers who will be
given a hearing before Mayor Royal
charged with the theft. The rowboat
was recovered by the detective-five
feet under water below the dam.

early last FRIDAY morning two mask
ed men held up passenger train on

vers and made clear getaway with
SO registered packages of mail. The
amount of the loot is estimated at not
less than 100000, and postal .authori-
ties admit it may be $lO,0OO,O00. The
packages We're taken from pouches that
had not been opened. The money had
been sent from the Treasury to various
western banks. Central Station is in

of West Virginia.
As soon as the robbery became known
