ROB Second
APARTMENT
IN DAYLIGHT
Ccontinued from first pagel

AConIlnutu from DTsl pdBtJ
ment 'on Thursday afternoon, has
caused the police to suspect that the
burglaries are the work OF profess
sionals. possibly men from Philadel-
phia or New York, who are securing
plunder here and disposing Of their
loot in some other city. Although a
strict watch has been kept
recently on local pawn shops,
little. If any, of the stolen jew
elry has been located here,
which would seem to Indicate that
the thieves are disposing of 1t
through outside parties.
The Delaware Apartment has an
open hallway and any one may
wander through the building, either
entering by the front door or from
the fire escape in the rear. In the
robbery of the Smith apartment it is
thought the burglars went up the
fire escape and entered through a
window opening into the hallway on
the third floor.
Entrance to the apartment was
effected by prying loose the rabbit
strips" on the door frame, inserting
a knife blade and pushing the lock
back.
owing to the frequency OF this
method Of gaining entrance TO apart
ments, a number Of apartment house
tenants have inserted a metal plate
back OF the rabbit strip" which is
said to prevent any one inserting a
knife blade even though the strip
is taken entirely Off.
That the burglars have been well
repaid for their work Of the past
week is shown by the list OF stolen
articles furnished the detectives,
consisting OF gold watches. stick
pins, rings, etc. The burglars, in
most cases, have not disturbed many
valuable articles OF jewelry. which
were OF such character as to be easily
identified. but have confined their
thefts to articles that may easily be
disposed Of in pawn shops in any
city.
owing to the frequency OF these
apartment house robberies. Captain
of Detectives Benson has requested
that any one noticing suspicious
looking strangers lettering in the
vicinity OF apartment houses shall
Immediately telephone the Detective
Bureau.

needed because most of the bathing
suits this year arc sleeveless The

don when one emerges from the
