'Special to The Herald)
ROMA. June 27.—The attendance
at the opening fiesta of the series
of entertainments to be given for
the Mier road fund Sunday last
was so encouraging that the com
mittee having the affair in handi
have decided to have another one,
at Camargo Sunday week. The re
turns from the last fiesta were
gratifying and a nice sum has been
raised which will be applied to a
fund for grading and graveling the
highway from San ^edro to Mier.
Mier is only nine miles from San
Pedro on a road that has been
cleared and in use for nearly 200
years and which runs through a!
chain of gravel hills. This is the
same road over which Taylor?
army marched from Camargo to
Mier and thence to Cerralvo and
ultimately to Monterrey and in
later years the French army march-1
ed over it from Camargo to San
Pedro in an unsuccessful attempt
to capture the city of Mier.
In an earlier day the unfortunate
prisoners of Mier were led in chains
over the same road to Matamoros.

Eleven-Year-Old Raffles
Is Finally Behind Bars;
Charge: 150 Burglaries
I I h ii * 1. """ " I
CHICAGO. June 27.— Light fing
ered Joe'* Dowling, the Raffles who
has had half the police force of
Chicago on his trail at one time
or another in the last three years,
the big underworld shot whose op
erations have been a pain in the
nose and a thorn in the thigh ot
the entire detective force, is in Jail
here charged with 150 burglaries and
the theft of thousands of dollars
In jewels, plate and money.
Not a machine gun was used In
effecting his capture and no tear
bombs were required to subdue him.
The pinochle game of the reserves
at headquarters was undisturbed for
“Light-Fingered Joe.’* the bane o?
suburbanites, (he fly In police
force’s ointment of complacency,
was trapped and subdued by a Jani
tor’s wife.
Tells of Exploits
The Big Shot of the half-world of
crime broke down under police ques
tioning and admitted his depreda
tions. For several hours on end he
told names and places he had
broken Into and looted, the amount
of the swag obtained from each and
the methods of his entry uninvited
into other people's homes. Pop
eyed the authorities listened to him
as he Jauntily told of his adventures,
of tight squeezes and narrow
escapes Then his father arrived
and “Light-fingered Joe.’ the ter
ror of the citizenry, the "Lone Wolf"
of the house-breaking profession,
was taken over the parental knee
and larruped as he never had been
before in his 11 years.
In the “yellowbacks’* that had
led him into his career of crime, it
had never happened thus.
But his father was speaking.
‘'Tell them where you hid the
things you stole.” he was saying.
And “Light-fingered Joe” told.
Not onlv that but he accompanied
the police on a treasure hunt ror
the loot Half of it was found un
derneath a large rock on the Rain
bow bathing bearh on the south sice
near his home. The remainder was
discovered behind a loose block of
granite on the roof of a moving pic
ture theater. There were thousands
of dollars worth of jewels and
watches, silverware and a thousand
and one bits of bric-a-brac.
“That's all,*’ said the baby Raffles.
"Except my folks aren't to blame.
“I've been working on my own
hook I needed the money to have
a good time and I got It.
“I did all mv work In the after
noon.” Joe explained. "Tt was easy.
I d nng the front doorbell. If no
body answered. I’d go to the back
door and climb throusrh the ice
boxes where there was an outside
' door for ice. Sometimes I went.
; through transoms.
| "Most of the money T got was
! blown at the movies. “Easy come,
i easy go.’ But you can't get more
| than from $2 to $10 by breaking into
a hone, so the money didn't last
very long."
While policemen had searched for
him high and low. or. at least
searched for the desjjerate fellow he
was supposed to be. Joe had man
aged to live handsomely. He saw
| every picture show that was worth 1
seeing, he said, and those that were
not—you know, the kind that sends ;
a shivver up your back—he didn't
sit through.
The Apprehension
When he was caught, he was com- i
: ing out of an apartment building.
The Janitor s wife saw him and ask
ed him what he was doing.
“I was up to see my aunt §nd she
wasn't in replied the Big Shci non- >
chalantly.
“What is her name," asked the
woman.
“Mrs. Smith,-’ said the burglar.
And then was when Joseph was
taken by the ear and led within
while the police were summoned. .
In the “yellowbacks” it all came
out differently, oh, very, very much
differently.
