The shooters nro somewhat dubious concerning many of the neighborhood prizes, for the reason thnt In previous years many of them proved to be myths, nnd Investigation brought out the fnct thnt no prizes were nwarded by the or ganizations which mnde nllurlng prom ises. Tho captains of tho various clubs show lltlo Interest In neighborhood prizes, bo cause the extra marching Is dllllcult for those who uro burdened with heavy and cumbersome enpus.

"D-D-D-DONT SHOOT," CRIES "BOLD BURGLAR" "Ah Sullender," Says 11-Year- Old Negro When Cop Covers Him in Cellar The swish of Policeman Moore's club as he twirled It was tho only noise that disturbed the stillness of tho night. Then "Help! Police! Burglars!" Moore stopped twlrllne his club. The rapid clatter of his heels on the side walk and the repetition of the call for help substituted dn for nocturnal quiet. A sprint of 100 yards or so and he traced the crle3. hey camo from 302 South COth street. 'Around the back," called the samo heavy masculine voice from the second story window. Moore skirted to the rear of the house. He examined his revolver as he ran. An open window above a wooden shed showed how the burglar had made his entrance. Moore climbed up over the roof of the shed and through the window. Within It was pitch dark and terribly quiet. "Come out or I'll shoot," shouted Mooro into the darkness with a "to whom It may concern" manner, "D-D-D-Don't shoot, mlstah,' came a thin voice from a corner. "Ah sullender." Moore, saw the whites of two big eyes glimmer, but he did not shoot. He grasped a shaking, huddling form by the Bhoulder and lifted the burglar In his arms. All he could see was the big white ejes and a row of pearly teeth. The rest was not distinguishable from the black background. Today the prisoners' slate at the 55th and Pine- streets station has this entry under the name, age, address, color, con dition In life captions; "Howard WlUon, H years old, 117 Fel ton street, black, single." The charge Is attempted burglary. The police there say they have captured their youngest burglar. Howard told, the police that he had been "put up to It" by another boy and that they wunted to "burgle" the house at 301 South 60th street, next door to the home of John Mulligan, where, he was captured.
