Wilt's Sons, in Front street, some time yesterday. According to the police Baker was arrested to gether with George Beinhour, aged 9, and Paul Carchidi, aged 9. Baker was sent to the House of Detention at Harrisburg while the other two boys were left go on bail. The trio will be given a hearing before Jus tice of the Peace Dickinson in the next few days. After conducting an investigation of the robbery. Chief of Police Grove suspected the Baker lad of engineer ins the job. He at once set out to locate the boy and after several hours' search finally arrested him after a hard chase. The lad when arrested had on his person, a .32- caliber revolver and some money. At the time he was arrested Chief Grove asked him whether he com mitted the robbery and he declared that, he knew nothing of it. The chiet brought yousg Baker into the office of the furniture store where he i showed him a black footprint on a piece of paper. The lad, following out Chief Grove's orders, stepped on the footprint on the paper and proved to be the print of the boy's small foot. He later admitted that he was guilty of the job but refused to give the names of his accom plices. The robbery was discovered about 1 o'clock when Lee Wilt, one of the owners of the business, entered the office anil the morgue of the estab lishment.

Jackson Stuart, a well-known retired Pennsy painter, died Satur day at his home in Altoona.

The Swedish State railways have been recently trying a new type of i locomotive which is so constructed i that it only requires one man to look after it. As the result of the tests i the railway authorities have placed an order for one of these oil-burning : locomotives. The membership drive by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers is still on. To date nearly 100 mem bers have been added to local lodges. N. T. Helsey, chief train dispatch er of the Reading Railway Company, in this city, has been appointed train master. He succeeds C. E'. Chamber lain, who has been appointed assist ant superintendent to J. T. Tyson, superintendent of the Reading Di vision with headquarters here. The problem of relieving conges tion of railroad freight, which is be coming more severe throughout the country as the fall season approaches, is receiving the careful consideration not only of Goverment authorities in Washington, but of the leaders in many branches of trade as welL It is the opinion of those in close touch with conditions that the country is facing a serious situation, with no increase in freight cars and Govern ment demands on the railroads steadily becoming greater. Government control of transporta tion services is cutting ofT, one after another, the perquisites of railroad officers. The latest thing is the or der. just made, revoking the "franks" which were very generally issued by the express companies.
