THIRD BURGLARY S1IRS MERCHANTS Demand for Night Police Protec- ,.s ton in KensinBton
 
 LUNCH ROOM IS L001ED
Quartet Arrested After Automobile Turns Turtle on Beech Swamp Road-D. A. R. Elects Miss Saw age As Regeut-Briefs.

Aroused by another burglary, the third in Kensington within the past two months. store owners and resi- dents of that district have reached a high pitch of excitement in con- nestion with demands for night pro- tection.
 The latest burglary to be report ed Is the breaking into of the Tri- angle Lunch room. operated by George Hall of this towns. last night. The marauders obtained several car tons of cigarettes. boxes of cigars and about SIS in cash. which was cigar money left in the lunch room overnight. The cash register. which had been emptied when the owner left for home that evening. was found open. The burglars over booked about s in change which was kept in china cup under the counter. The total loss Is estimated at approximately $25.
 Entrance was gained through forcing the front door which faces on Pennington avenue, the main highway, which is traversed con- sidcrably throughout the night. The robbery is thought to have occurred between the hours of and 5 o'clock this morning.
 The owner of tho lunch room states that he believed that the rob- bery was accomplished by young sters, their inefficient manipulatlons in forcing the door pointing towards tnexperience in house breaking. Others advance the theory that the robbers were tho same who recently broke Into the establishments op- erated by Charles Anderson and Joseph Pedelli in Kensington.
 Headed by H. A. Suprenant. Ken sington druggist whose store suf- fered from burglars last fall, Ken sinEton merchants this morning formed to present to town officials their demands for night police pro- lection. The business men are unanimous in their support of the movement and action is promised within the near future. The point out that although the hre protection campaign has been given full sup port by town officials. their much leeded and urgent requests for con- alteration along the lines of police Protection have met with no re- slonse.
 When asked if their appeal to the officials would include requests for protection for the other two dis tries. leaders of the new move stattd that while as yet definite plans were lacking. the chief regard of the Kenslagton merchants would be for the protection of kensington. They claim that at present the town as 8 whole and Kensington especially is at the mercy of criminals who choose this place for an easy haul. Only once have they failed in their attemps to loot local stores. they point oat, and that occasion de- pended on a home made burglar alarm to frighten them away.
 It is thought that a meeting of the business men will take place soon and that petition to the town officials will bs presented before the
