SNEAK THIEF CALLS
ON j. OF N. BOYS
Leaves No Card, But Takes
Away Several Hundred DOL
lars in Cash and JeweIry.

:. A sneak thief reaped a harvest in
cash and valuables at the University
Of Maryland at College Park last
Wednesday night.
Entering the rooms of forty OF the
students, the intruder, who probably
wore sneakers over his shoes or op-
Grated in his stocking feet, stole sew
eral hundred dollars in cash and much
jewelry.
The only one of the forty students
who heard the thief in his room was
John II. Painter who, however, admits
he was in a drowsy condition and did
not realize he was being robbed until
he later got out of bed and dressed.
None of the students had been in
the habit of locking their rooms, and
they don't intend to do so now. But
most Of them are sleeping with one
eye open, and woe to the thief should
he again make his appearance.
The students believe the thief is an
outsider who secreted himself in the
building and began his operations
after the boys had gone to sleep.
