BURGLA AIRS HOLD
HIGH CARNIVAL
They Broke Into Several Places
Last Night and Carried OH
Valuables.

Burglars held high carnival in VIII
minrton last night. They visited several
sections Of the city and got away with
some valuables. One place WAS ransacked.
USE .HArcHET ron JIMMY.
Burglars early this morning lummied
their way into the Gordon cigar store,
40 West Tenth street. and after thoroughly
ransackinr the place, carried away sport
ing goods valued az 500. The thieves at
first sought entrance through rear side
window. Shelves had recently been fulit
there and this balked them. They next
secured hatehet and long iron limmey,
which were used in forcing the rear door.
The two storage rooms had recently been
stocked with goods valued at several
thousand dollars In their haste the bur
glars overlooked two new adding machines
valued at $50 each. The fact that only
sporting goods WAS taken leads To the
belief that young white men, interested
in baseball, are the guilty persons.
Entrance TO the barber shop OF Frank
yinni. log West Tenth street, adjoining the
Gordon store was also attempted. A
transom on the second floor, Ia the rear,
had been pried open, but the mlscreants
were evidently frightened off.
Charged with the larceny OF money
from the money drawer of the sub-post-
Office at the southeast corner OF Eleventh
and Spruce streets on Saturday, Robert
Smith. colored, l7years old, was arraigned
IN City Court this morning, but, due to
his extreme youth, was turned over 10
the Juvenile Court.
Smith is alleged to have entered the
sub-postoffice Saturday shortly before
noon and finding no one in the store, made
himself busy by relieving the money
drawer of all bills and small change, the
total amount collected being about 81.
Hearing noise in the rear of the house,
and thinking someone was coming, smith
vaulted the ecounterand dashed upEleventh
street. Yesterday afternoon he was ar
rested on the west side of town, taken TO
the sub-postoffice and identified.
At Pennsylvania avenue and du Pont
street, at $50 last night, a strange man
was seen prowling about yards and shots
were heard. The police were called and he
fed.

to,is scr,iplcs"in in finding verdict Of guilty

MUNICIPAL GARBAGE
ACCUMULATES BUT
PLANT STANDS IDLE
City Uncertain What to Do Until
Bond Liability Has Been
Determined.
THE SITUATION is ACUTE

The collecting wagons Of the garbage
gathering contractor commenced their
Monday morning rounds today as usual
At o'clock. and have been steadily
adding tn the amount of material awaiting
treatment nj the city incinerating plant,
nj the foot of Madison street.
No further steps were taken over Sun
dav for putting the plant machinery IN
running order, or arranging to run 1t,
owing to the uncertainty as to whether
the attempt 10 operate by the city direct
would put Il legally in the wrong as regards
the prior rights of the bonding company
Co do the same thing
As late as last night none Of the city
officials interested had been able to get IN
touch with the proper parties in either the
Philadelphia or the New York office of the
American Surety Co, although several
efforts were made by them, rs well as
through the local representative, William
j. Highheld, who states that the papers
IN the case were drawn and executed IN
Philadelphia in 1915.
'srhe matter Of the bond WAS handed
for the Wilmington Sanitary Co. by the
u b Martin Co. Of Philadelphia, with
the surety company's local office there,
sssid Mr.. Highhcld.
$50 TONS FILED UP.
The amount of recently collected gar
hagr that has accumulated at the plant
" IN the neighborhood of $50 tons, con-
ssting Of what was brought in on the
three days Of last week during which the
machinery WAS out OF order, which has not
been touched, and the partially assorted
material which was IN process of handling.
Reports Cf larger quantities on hand refer
go h, n 10 81
spring. IN the interval between the burn
ing of the reduction plant and the fitting
up of the old incinerating plant This wa,
spread over the ground around the in
cincrator buildings and has been pretty
well cured by natural processes, TO that
II ls not q pressing problem.
The officials Of the Beard of Health
feel that by the and Of destructive chemi'
calls like qulcklime, any menace from the
new collections may be readily controlled
hut this addition will only increase the
problem of handling the accumulation
which Is no small matter.
City Solicitor Huxley expects 10 tak'
the matter up today with the bonding
company, when the status Of the matter
ought 90 hc asrertained and the city vii
know how IL can legally proceed.
The question having been raised as tc
why the Sanitary Co. collected the in
surance on the burned building, the
policy, il is understood, while standing
in the name Of the city, was made out foi
the benefit Of the company.
