Fodts saloon at 345 Arch street, which netted cash amounting to Ifearly $500, were committed Satur- day night Two prisoners appeared In police court today and were put to plea on charges of burglary They were caught with the goods on them. Henry Quinlan visited Del Mastro's barbershop and filled up. a satchel and while so doing was detected. He proceeded to make a nasty exit by way of the rear window, through which he had gained admission. He led his chassers down Church street and was apprehended in cafe. Gar kin Manoolian is the other alleged burglar. He was found supplying himself with sole leather at Lacava's shoe store on Commercial street and Patrolman McCue placed him under arrest after a chase.
 The burglary at Fodt's saloon at S45 Arch street was profitable. Aft er the days business MT. Fodt placed his receipts in the ld-fashioned safe which stood at the end of the bar in the back end of the saloon. He went home while his men continued with the work of cleaning up. The - a'clock About 4:3O Sunday morning other men who had work to do in the place went there and noticing the safe was not in it's regular place be- gan an investigation. Downstairs in the cellar the safe was found the top of it smashed in. Peering into tht opening, which was sufficiently large to admit a hand, they saw the contents had been extracted. Be side the safe was an old axe. Louis Sci pei, one of Fodt's employees, is of the opinion that it was used to get into the safe. The top of the safe was badly demolished. Four thicknesses of metal were penetrated. Mir. Sci pei is of the opinion that there were at least two men in on the job. He forms that conclusion from the fact that he and another man were re- 'uuired to move the safe because it was so heavy. Entrance was made by way of a cellar door. MT Seipel barred the door last night and had to use considerable strength to put the bar in position.
 Arch street is one of the business streets of the city and is regularly patrolled by policemen.
