by Detectives Peter Daily and Thomas
Devne OF the Pickpocket Squad last
night at Eighty-fourth Street and Cen

Prefry smiled at the detectives and told
his companion there was evidently a
mistake of identity Stepping aside
to converse with the officers he ad-
mitted being Prefry, but asked that his
name be not revealed to his compan-

to call the lady up as soon as he had
explained matters at headquarters.
When Detective Daily later searched
Prefry's apartment he found twenty
five suits of clothes, the same number
of shoes, hats, walking canes and
scarfpins. The officers reported later
that their captive semed to have every

Albany are momentarily expecting an
other outburst Of rioting because Of

non-union crews employed by the
United Traction Company in its effort
to break the carmen's strike which has
lasted nearly five months.
Trolley cars were in operation to-

right away and spoke of it.
"Ee has stopped shaking that rattle
on the end of his tail because there

with those poison fangs he carries;
but, as said before, he gives warn

THAT is the name of certain long,
pointed teeth" replied Mother Bear.
Most of the Snake family have teeth,
but only the poison people have fangs.
These are long teeth, one on each side
OF the upper jaw, and are just for
biting and putting the dreadful
poison into the blood of the one bit
