MI BICYCLES STOLEN
Washington an Excellent Field for
the Wheel Thief.

Washington has been termed the wheel
joen'e paradise. It is also a great fle'd for
bicycle thieves. Among the highest and
the lowest men, women, and children of
alt classes and all ages bicycle riding has
lifwwic a feature of eyery-dav enjoyment.
Likewise, the bicycle thief enjoys oppor
tunities here to ply his trade not found
clsewerc
Probably In no other city of equal size
in tne country is die wheel so generally
used. Twenty-five thousand bicycles are
said to be owned in Washington The
hanker, the business man, the department
clerk, and the laborer, all enjoy the priv
ilege of skimming over the aspba't of
Washington's streets, and bicycles are to
be seen in every port of the city In the
snlmrbs, also, the wheel becomes a practi
cal necessity, and at night the hundieds of
rapidly moving lanterns attest the value
and popularity of the bicycle
It is not surprising that the bicycle thief
ftourishes in Washington He has an ex
ceptionally wide range of action, and as
a role, can afford to be choice regarding
use selection of his plunder In many in
stances, bicycles are left for hours un
guarded at the doors of dwellings in re
mote sections of the city, while frequent
oases of loss could be cited in the down
town districts. It is true that owners of
bicycles attempt at times to protect their
property by the use of chains and patent
locks. The thief is equal, however, to thU
emergency. A small pair of nippers, dex
terously handled, cuts the chain and re
leases the wheel, which is appropriated by
the thief.
At Police Headquarters a special book ie
reserved for entries of bicycle robberies
This list is in the possession of Detective
Mailer, to whom ali bicycle cases are as
signed for investigation. Reports that
eome in from the various precincts are im
mediately entered in this book A general
sJamv. wltn description of the stolen
wheel, is then sent to every station, di
recting a search for the property Within
a short time an investigation is also start
ed by Detective Mulier, should any cle be
found upon which to work Where a wheel
is located, the owner is at once notified,
and dm propert) returned upon the signing
of a receipt which is filed by the po ice
for reference
Behind the disappearance of many bi
cycles is a story of organised business en
terprise, which, though unlawful, is.
donbtfess, remunerative In the larger
cities, particularly Chicago, gangs of
thieves are organized for the purpose of
stealing bicycles, which, after numerous
changes, are offered for sale as second
handed. In such cases the wheels are
skillfully altered, numbers are changed,
and the frames are cut down by the
dealers. To complete the disguise, in many
oases, the machines are re-enameled and
rspaluius There is no certainty that an
pjgMttsad gang works in Washington, but
the latins manner of losses reported to the
peNee makes such a conclusion appear to
he reasonable,

A SPECIAL POLICEMAN NEEDED.
One o L00K. After the Illecul Prac
tice of Medicine xind Uentistrj.
A week ago the Commissioners received
a letter from Dr J B Gregg Custis re
garding the detail of a policeman to en
force the laws in relation to the practice
of medicine, dentistr, and pharmac In
the District of Columbia; also offering sug
gestions as to the compensation of tho
members of the medical examining board
and the board of medical supervisors Tho
letter was referred to Health Officer Wood
ward for report, and his suggestions wero
received b the Commissioners esterday
Dr Woodward states that he agrees with
Dr Custis in that it will be necessary to
detail a policeman to attend to the enforce
ment of these laws especiall He states that
heretofore the men detailed for dut in the
office of the Assessor have done this work,
but they have not acquitted themselves a3
a man who was especiall detailed would
A policeman engaged iu such work would
soon become familiar with all the legal
practitioners in the clt, he states and
would also learn to Lvov, what evidence
was necessar to properl prosecute viola
tions of the law Dr Woodward holds that
the appointment of an officer to enforce
these laws is of as much practical im
portance as the laws themselves, as with
out such an officer the laws would not
have the desired effect .
In regard to the compensation 'or the
members of the board of medical examiners
and medical supervisors, Dr Woodward
regards the fee of $10 suggested by Dr
Curtis for each meeting as very reasonable
and he recommends that this amount be
paid in addition to what the phsiclans
composing the board now receive, which
depends upon the amount of work they do

port to the Superintendent of Police with
the suggestion that tho recommondatlons
