/’ BURGLARWPTURED. Seven Members bf a successful Gang RoundedlUp In Brooklyn. " WOMAN FOUND AMONG THEM Kinny Country Heuses Robbed Within a Radius of Fifty Miles of New York. Enormous Quantity of Plunder 'Found at the Rendezvous. NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—The police have trappeda gang of burglars that during the past summer has been sacking suburban and country houses for 50 miles around. A pile of plunder man high awaits identifica- tion at headquarters. Some of it has al- ready been recognized, and the proprietors of several houses in Summit, N. J., that were robbed—the 'dogs having previously been poisoned—last week are now digging in it. - Six bicycles from the Singer coun- try house at Larchmont have been sorted out already, and a lot of property stolen 'rom Harrison Hallet of Bridgeport, Conn. It was at the latter’s house that the gang stole a music box that went off and played “ The Night Before Larry Was Stretched” while the thieves were carrying it ofl. They tried to silence it by stuffing a towel into the works, but it wouldn’t stop, and they finally left it in the street, where it stood playing the tune to its end, when the po- lice came up. The prisoners who are locked up at po- lice headquarters arc Max Loewenstein, 17; Julius Bollinger, 25; William Werner, 22; Frank Faltzaarth, alias Ferdinand, 26; Henry Heinke, 17; Henry Miller, 24, and Mary Miller, 28 years old. Most of the young men live in Bowery lodging houses, which Superintendent Byrnes called nurs- eries of crime. The woman tried to sell a pawn ticket for $157 for $20 in a Bowery shop and was spotted by Detectives Dorn, Krausch, Pinker and Barrett. They followed her and arrested her when she joined Loewen- stein in the street. The boy squealed and led the detectives 'to a room at 26 State street, Brooklyn, Where the whole gang was in session. It was scooped in. An immense pile of plunder was found and loaded on awagon. It was brought over the river. While the detectives were in the house Heinke came in with a bicycle and was arrested too.» 7 Important Arrests. Detectives are still in the house waiting for other thieves, who are expected hourly. The real importance of the arrests did not dawn 'on the police until they saw the vast pile "of stuff brought over from the thieves’ den. It was clear that it was the product of many thefts in many places, and word was immediatelysent around to the suburban places when e the most re- cent news of housebreakers’ raids had cgme. Harrison Hallet came down from Bridgeport on the first train and prompt- ly identified a lot of the property as his. The thieves got away with nearly $1,000 worth of his belongings, though they had to abandon the telltale music box. Hard upon his heels came Warner C. Bulkely of the Whiting Manufacturing company at Broadway and Eighteenth street. Mr. Bulkcly lives at Summit, N. J. He told Captain O’Brien how, on the night of N CV. 11, his and seven other houses in the town were robbed. It was a mystery to the villagers next morning, when they woke up to find their houses sacked, how it was that they had slept through it all. Not a dog had barked, though there is no house in Summit with- out a watchdog. But the mystery was dispelled by the discovery that all'the dogs in town were either dead or dying. The thieves had poisoned them. Mr. Bulkely sorted out his own property from the pile and sent word to his seven neighbors, who made tracks for Mulberry street with all possible speed. The bicycles from the Larchmont house were recognized from the description in the possession of the police. They got seven all told, with the last one which Henke rode up to the meeting on. How much of the stolen stufi has been pawned and finally disposed of, as the woman was trying to diSpose of the pawn ticket when arrested, no one as yet knows. The police believe that they have only got hold of one end of a story of robbery that will grow the more the longer they pull at it. They think, from the boldness of the gang’s operations at Bridgeport and at Summit, that suburban burglaries without end may yet be laid at its door. They are hard at work trying to do this. The Knights of Labor. ROCHESTER, Nov. 20.—The only business of importance to the general public in the Knights of Labor general assembly today was the adoption of the recommendation - of General Secretary-Treasurer Hayes that the National Brewers’ union, N0. 35, should either sever its allegiance to the Federation of Labor or to the Knights of Labor, and that no man can become a member of the Knights of Labor whose first allegiance is to another order.

WEEKLY -No;RwALK QGAZ'I‘EIE ‘ . OENSURB FOR A NAVAL SURGEON. Findings of the Commission In the Train- ing Ship Enterprise Cases. .« BOSTON. Nov. 20.—Thc findings of the board of commissioners of the Massachu- setts Nautical Training school in regard to the training ship Enterprise were submité ted to Acting Governor Wolcott, with the result that the commission has requested the navy department to detach Dr. Olcott, surgeon of the ship. The commissioners say that the surgeon did not at all times lhow the professional solicitude toward his patients that his position demanded, but left too much to the nurse. They sum up the charges against Dr. Olcott by saying “that he showed less interest than was due in minor cases; that he should have exer- cised closer supervision over the nursing and have taken greater precautions as to the use of brushes, but that the illness and deaths of Cadets Brown and Clare are not attributable to neglect by him or by any other person on board the ship.” The commission further finds in his case: ‘ ‘ That Dr. Olcott by carrying lighted cigars with him into the sick bay did not show proper respect for the sick; that be dis- obeyed the explicit order to keep a journal; that he showed at the best inexcusable carelessness in mutilating the nurse’s jour- nal, but that he was not intoxicated on board ship nor incapacitated for his duties by use of liquor. But the commission feels it a duty to say under the circumstances that it does not consider him a desirable officer to retain in the school, and that his application to the navy department to be detached from the ship has its approval. ” With reference to the charges brought by James P. Clare of Quincy, whose son died after leaving the ship, the commissioners find that “the ship was properly provision— ed when she sailed; that the complaints made to the commander received immedi- ate attention; that the complaints as to tHe food are wholly disproved and should be dismissec . ” ' Relative to the charges that the nursing was incompetent, the commissioners find that the provision for the care of the sick was such as is usual on such ships and was sufficient for any emergency that might reasonably be expected. The sick bay was large, airy and clean; the nursing as good as could be expected on shipboard; the food proper. Of Commander Eaton the commissioners say: “We desire to place on record our con- fidence in him as a humane and just su- perintendent, as a skillful Ofiicer and ther- ough seaman and as an efficient com- mander. His bearing throughout this in? vestigation has very favorably impressed 'the commission. ’ ’ THE HATFIELD-M’OOY PEUD. A Brave Detective Is Now Fleeing From Vengeance of Enemies. WILLIAMSON, W. Va, N ov. 20,—J. H.‘ Clark, the detective who recently arrested the notorious Cap Hatfield, is now himself fleeing from the vengeance of the Mounts and their friends. Clark and M. S. Bevins undertook the arrest at Dclorme of Ander- son Mount, who some time ago killed his cousin in Kentucky, and for whom a re- ward was ofiered. They found Mount in the custody of his father, charged with some infraction of the West Virginia law. He refused to be arrested and the usual battle followed. Clark and Bevins killed Mount and mortally wounded his father. Realizing that they had made a mistake in trying to arrest a man already in custody, the detectives fled. The friends of the Mounts at once offered a reward for the de- tectives and a party started in hot pursuit. The pursuers managed to shoot Clark in the shoulder, but have not yet captured him.

Revolution Threatened by. n hieinber of the Reichstng In Debate. ' BERLIN, Nov. 20. -——The debate on the iadical motion in regard to the practice of dueling in the army and the case of Lieu- tenant Baron von Brusewitz, who recent. 1y murdered Herr Siebemann in‘a cafe in Carlsruhe, was resumed in the relchstag today. ’ ' Herr Heller, a Bavarian deputy and a lawyer, defended the procedure of the mili- tary courts, which, he admitted, might be amended. He was not prejudiced in favor of it, but the procedure gave every defend- ant a fair trial. Herr Heller denied the statement made on Tuesday by Herr Bebel that the public prosecutor always presided, over military courts. Herr Rickcrt said he was not disposed to hold the army or the army system respon- sible for the act of Lieutenant von Bruse— witz. General Reichlin-Meldegg, a Bavarian officer and deputy, protested against the attempts of the Radicals to compare the Bavarian military institutions with those of Prussia in order to make the latter ap- pear miserable. The German army, he said, ought to be one, and it was desirable that the same system of procedure should prevail everywhere. Herr Lenzmann. Richterite Radical, said that the German people had waited long enough for reforms and they must now press-them without delay. He deplored the fact that the debut of General von Gossler, minister of war, had been such a lamen- table failure. Hc gave an instance of the tendency of a military education in, the story of a Baden recruit, who, upon being asked who were the internal fees of Ger- many replied, “Civilians.” . Herr Lenzmann concluded by saying that the government must beware. If reforms are longer withheld, the nation might have to resort to a volksnothwehr (a people’s self defense action). Some one on the government benches called out “Revolution!” whereupon Herr Lenzmann said, “I wanted to avoid a for- eign word, but if you like it I will call it revolution. ” At this there was tremendous cheering from the members of the left. General von Gosslcr,1ninistcr of wars made a very feeble reply, which was only partly heard, owing to the frequent inter- ruptions by gibes, laughter, etc, in which he said: “If you continue your attitude against the army beware. If the army is now silent, its irritation is increasing. ” Dr. Schonstedt, minister of justice, ad- mitted that the army dueling code must be reformed, but defended the government as trying to do the best it could in view of the circumstances. Count von Mirbach followed Dr. Schen- stcdt, making a fierce attack upon Herr Lenzmann for having, as he alleged, gone beyond the latitude of speakers in the house and threatening the country with revolution. » LEVIED ON A BABY’S OORPSB. Sherifi‘ Didn’t Know It “735 In the Un- dertaker-’3 Shop. FALL RIVER, Mass, Nov. 20.—Suit has been brought against Deputy Sheriff Sam- uel Hadfield to recover $10,000 damages for injuries done to Mrs. Le Blane, whose infant the sheriff attached and spirited away, 1 crhaps unwittingly, last Monday. Undertaker John T. Martin owed a bill to Dr. Samuel T. Kelly and failed to liqui- date it as rapidly as the physician wished. Deputy Sheriff Hadfield was called in on Monday to place an attachment on the cof- fins, carpets, chairs and other fittings of Martin’s establishment. Hadfield did his work so well that when he retired from the shop only the paper on the wall was left. Among other things seized by the sheriff \vas a box containing the body of the “in- fant Le Blane, ” late of 302 Pleasant street, which, according to the records in the board of health, was dead and ready for burial. The board had issued a permit for its interment. But the body was not buried, so far as the undertaker or the health authorities know, and a hunt for the body is now in progress. Mayor Hooper \Vins, BALTIMORE,NOV. 20.—A special dispatch from Annapolis announces that the court of appeals has handed down an opinion in favor of Mayor Hooper of this city in the mandamus proceeding against him by Tax Collector Noble H.
