THIEVES STRIP CARS
IN HEART OF CITY
Wholesale Depredations in the
Vicinity of Tenth and Eleventh
and Market Last Night.

IL was reported to the police this morn
ing that some one is making n speciality OF
removing red lights from the rear Of auto
mobiles parked in front of the City Hall
on King street at night. Presumably the
depredations are committed by gang OF
small boys some white, some colorcd who
show an unusual interest in machines be-
ing parked at that point.
Last evening red lights were removed
from n number Of machines parked op-
posite the Court House. The thieves
made a cleap sweep, taking the light bulb,
the red glass and the frame.
This is serious in view OF the activity
of the police in watching for drivers run
ming without red lights. because the lights
are taken off Mt night when Accessories
stores are closed giving the driver no
alternative but 10 drive home at the risk
of arrest or go home on trolley, leaving
his machine parked downtown. The lat
ter doesn { help matters any because IT ls
contrary to tho State law to leave n ma
chine parked on the street without show
ing the rcd light.
1t is TO he hoped the police will prom pit
" put stop TO this nuisance before some
innocent car owner is fined for sonnet hing
altogether beyond his control.
