Eighteen boys, arrested by the police
Of the 'Sixty-ilfth street aud Woodland
avenue station for robbing boz cars on
the Philadelphia, Baltimore and wash
inrton Railway, are in the House Of De
tentou and the police say they will in
crease the number by ten today,
In the last few weeks there have been
numerous thffts from the cars and the
police. tuspecting professional thieves,
have been watching specially for them.
They were much surprised when they
caught the first boy leaving the yards
with merchandise from Il car. This lad
was arrested and gave the names OF
several others. who. he said had robbed
"ars. These boys were found and they
i'm turn implicated others. Almost every
boy arrested gives the name Of at least
one other. The police have recovered a
considerable quantity of merchandise
',ricd in character, concealed about the
lads homes.
1t appears that the boys, having
learned TO pick coal along the tracks
conceived the notion that breaking iuto
cars aud rohbing them was no more
serious an offeuse.
