Wednesday morning tho detective department arrested two negroes, Ju lian Pope and Joe Bates, charged with stealing the brass fittings from the fire hose in Warehouse No. 2 of the Atlantic States Warehouse Co. Ju lian Pope made a clean breast of the whole affair to Chief Elliott, con fessing the theft and implicating his accomplice, Joe Bates. The negroes completely ruined 2.000 feet of hose, half of the equipment in the warehouse, cutting the brass noz zles and couplings off, and tucking the mutilated ends back into the folds of the coils. The robbery was discovered on Tuesday morning, which was fire hose inspection day, and immediately reported to the police. Some forty brass couplings and nozzles were missing altogether. At once the reports of the Junk dealers in town were looked up, and it was found that, on September 24th. R. Steinburg, a junk dealer at 1212 Broad street, had received 25 pounds of brass. The next day he reported 15 pounds of brass received. (On neither day did he give a description of the articles, though required by the city code to do so.) When the police visited Steinburg’s place they found tho. fire-hose con nections on his junk heap, and later, from his description, were able to ar rest the two negroes who had sold him the stuff. When Steinberg identified Julian Pope at the barracks yesterday the negro confessed, telling how he and Bates contrived to steal the stuff. Ho said that they reeclyed only 75c al together from Steinburg for their loot, which consisted of some sixty pounds of brass. The two negroes were committed to jail Thursday morning charged with larceny froi the house. No other charges have been made in the case. DR. B. F.
