BURGLARS BUSY
 IN NEW HAVEN
Enter Four Stores Escape With
 S1,N0 in Case

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 26 R- Working in the business center of the city during the night, band of burglars entered four stores in Chapel street and made their escape with $1,400 in cash, some jewelry of undetermined value, radio instru. ments and penknives.
 The stores entered were Lofts candy store. Landay Brothers music store. the jewelry store of L. Pearlil and Sons and the W. T. Grant de. partment store.
 To gain entrance to the stores, the thieves scaled a 20 foot wall in back of the Pearlin establishment. They left burglars tools including an cleo tric drill and wrenches in Landay's.
 The men were forced to climb over buildings and down fire escapes and to Jimmy doors before they reached Lofts candy store. Here they broke open a safe by smashing off the knob and using a crowbar to gain entrance to the inner door. The safe was on an elevated section of the store and to avoid being seen, the men carried the safe to a rear room. They secured $1,4o0 there.
 The police this morning found finger prints on the rear door of the store and glove left in the office where the safe was rifled.
 First notice of the burglary came shortly after o'clock this morning when Miss Adeline Coml, assistant manager, opened the store. She found papers strewn around, the of flee upset and the safe on its back and open.
 It then was discovered that the thieves had been in the Landay and Pearlin stores before reaching the Loft store. The loss in the first two stores, however, was small.
 The burglars took nothing in the Grant store, using that store simply as a means of entering the other places.
