 Officer Dolan reported that the bakery truck was going west on Lafayette street and the other car was going south on Washington street, according to the driver. Me- lander said he was driving at the rate of 20 miles an hour, and Sour ii said the truck was not going fas- ter than eight or ten miles an hour.

YEGGS WELD SLEDGE
 ON SPINE77A'S SAFE
Burglars Obtain Little Loot in Store on Main
 Street

James A. Spinetta's store at 4Ss West Main street, was entered about o'clock this morning through a window on the west side of the building. and the safe pounded with a sledge hammer which broke the combination knob and the handle, but so far as is known. nothing was taken except some bananas and oranges. A box in the cash register was smashed but no money was found.
 Sergeant r. A. McAvay. who was detailed to investigate the case, learned from woman who lives above the store that she was awak- ened about 5 o'clock by noises down. stairs, but she thought a clerk or the proprietor was opening early, and she did not bother to investi- gate. Had the police been notified then, they would probably have made a capture for the marauders must have been at work for some time, judging by the damage to the safe, and Vso in view of the fact that before it was worked on it had been dragged from its place to a hidden poMt, despite it's weight.
 In other places that have been en- tered at night during the past few weeks, sledge hammers have been found beside damaged safes. and the police suspect that one person or one gang is operating in this way. Tn. head of the hammers are bound by store aprons or other cloth to deaden the noise. as the blows are struck on the knobs and handles. Near the Spinetta safe, nail puller and sharpening iron were also found.
 Sergeant McAvay found that the building was entered through a window on the east side. but as the trap door leading from the cellar to the store was locked. the burglars were obliged to retrace their steps and make another entrance through 8 window on the opposite side.

TWO CARS DESTROYED BY FIRE IN GARAGE Damage of $2,2O0 Caused by Blaze on Booth
 Street

The second garage fire in this city in week did damage estimated at approximately s2.200 to garage and three automobiles at 122 Booth street early this morning. and threatened several tenement houses in the surrounding neighborhood. Had the garage been of frame con- struction, the fire would have spread through the street, according to the firemen, as the flames were shooting through the doors on two sides when they arrived. and the wooden verandas of a brick tenement house were only q few feet beyond them.
 The building is owned by Marion Zaleski, who also owned one of the automobiles. W. Stokarski owned one car and the name of the owner of the third was not secured. It was the latter car that is believed to have caused the fire. as 1t was driven into the garage about 80 minutes be- fore the blaze was discovered. AL though the building Is of brick. the doors are wood and there is a wood- en partition running through the interior. It is possible that the par tition took fire from the car.
 The flames did not reach the sec ond story, although the sheathing on the interior was badly burned. Discovery was made in time to sum- mon the firemen before the flames reached the upper section, other wise there would have been slight chance of saving anything. Two of the automobiles were practically de- stroyed. and the top was burned off the third. The fire department was called by an alarm from box 336 at Booth and Broad streets at 1855 o'clock and the recall sounded at 2:52.
