Another (Sang Busy
Oneratlons of what armear to have
been an organized gang of burglars put
the neighborhood of Twelfth and I.u
icrne streets into a turmoil early this
morning.
Four houses are known to have been
entered and attempts made upon a
number more in the neighborhood. The
early rising of several residents upset
the calculations of tho thieves, and
they were frightened away. As far as
is known their loot was Tery llttlo
compared with their trouble.
Houses entered were those of Alfred
Gerstenlower. 4025 North Twelfth
street ; Fred Hahn, 4023 North Twelfth
street: Claude Angeny. 4027 North
Twelfth street, and James F. Flaherty,
4037 North Twelfth street.
Marks were found upon the window
ledges of a number of other houses In
the neighborhood. It is believed the
burglars cither found the houses diffi
cult to enter, or did not have time
enough to finish the job before day
break. Entered Through Window
The Hahn home was entered, as were
the others, through a parlor window
opening upon the front porch. The
thieves went through the lower floor
carefully, making their way from the
front to the rear of the house and
escaping through the yard In the rear.
The peculiar feature of the robberies is
that the houses seem all to have been
entered from the front and left by the
rear. This would indicate that a num
ber of burelars made a simultaneous
onslaught, for the police point oat that
one or two men, after entering the front
of a house and leaving by the rear,
would naturally enter the next house
through the rear and work toward to
the front instead of continually run
ning around the block.
Every drawer and possible hiding
'place for valuables In the house of Mr.
Gertenlower hail been upset and tum
bled about in the search. He said this
morning it was impossible for him to
make an estimate of his losses, but
they were small, as he had few valuables
wbero the burglars could reach them.
Jimmied Window
Mr. Angeny told of the robberies this
morning. "Although my front window
was jimmied open," he said, "we lost
nothing. I arise early to go to busi
ness nnd I believe the thieves heard me
moving about and left by the window
through which they bad entered the
house. When I examined the front
porch I found jimmy marks beneath
all three windows. Only the center
window was open, however. I eues
the fastenings of the others resisted the !

Councilman Walter, speaking on the

said. "If you do this you leave cannon

The robbery occurred shortly before

scene.

A delegation of a dozen bankers, man

has been vacant since the death of John

Mr. Flsler was recommended by the
delegation ns n successful manufac

Ono of the speakers pointed out Mr.
Flsler was a member of the Pennsyl

has tho indorsement of Joseph R.
Grundy.
"I won't comment on nnybody." snld
the Mayor, "because I have n number
of names under consideration. I have
known Mr. Fisler for many yean. I
know his qualities, I know everything
that has been said nbout him here Is
true and that he is nn all-around good
man."

The Mayor smiled nnd slapplne one of
the delegation on the back, Raid: "What
do you think of a man who can brine

Havana, June 30. Cuban cane
crnwers. stiirar mill owners nnd brokers,
claiming to control the sale of 2,180,000 I
sacKs of unsold sugar, were on recorn
today as definitely pledged not to offer
any more sugar for Bale until the price
had reached twenty-four cents a pound,
tho level reached during the last half of
May.
This decision was reached nt a mass
meeting held last night, which wbr pre
sided over by Miguel Arango, president
of the Association of Haclendados and
Colonos, of Cuba. At this meeting n
committee of twelve, headed by Arango,
was selected to act as the exclusive hell
ing agency of those represented at the
meeting.
Participants pledged themselves to
withdraw from the market nil offers for
the sale of sugar nnd to sell none except
through the medium of tne committee,
which is pledged to make no sales for
less than twenty-four centR n pound.
The amount of unsold Cuban sugar
was estimated by a member of the selling
committee nt 3,020,000 sacks, their
holdings of 2,180,000 sacks, leaving only
1.740.000 sackR -under outside control.
Efforts are being made to bring these
into the pool.
Both Pennsylvania nud Reading of
ficials expressed satisfaction today with
the strike situation.
The most notable improvement was
on the Schuylkill division of the Pmn
nylvanla Railroad. It was possible to
rcmovo nil freight restrictions on this
line, nnd Broad Street Station officials
nnnounced embargoes on all other lines
would be removed spcedllv.
At ,i o'clock this afternoon, the
tennsylvanla Railroad removed the em
bargo at Philadelphia on export grain
and on coal shipments, except coal for
water transhipment at tho Greenwich
piers. Coal for transhipment Is still
under an embargo, and subject to

one of his plnymates and knocked un'

he may have sustained a fractured skull.
Local dealers had not heard of the
plan of tho Cuban planters to hold their
raw sugar supply for twenty-four cents
a pound. The sugar expert o one sys
tem of chain stores said thero had been
no reflection of tho Cuban schemn in
tho sugar market thus far. Offerings
this morning, he snld, were mado freely
and Indicated no stringency.
"No doubt sugar nt twenty-four
cents in Cuba would make thp retail
price higher," this authority said, "as
the dealer would havo to pay anything
that was asked If ho needed the sugar.
However, the dealers have tried to keep
the prico down right along. In 'May
when our stores wcro selling sugar at
twenty-three cents n pound some of
it cost us ns much as twenty-seven and
one-half cents. The present retail price
is as high as any that has been
charged."
Another big sugar buyer said he had
folt lately that sugar prices wero more
likely to go down than up. However,
if the Cuban market forces price to
twenty-four cents a pound, ho Raid,
the retail price mny go as high as thirty
cents.
