EPIDEMIC OF BURGLARIES. Supt Bui! Says O.her Cities Are SufferingDong A'l He Can to Stop It.

"Buffalo Is not the only city suffering with an epidemic of burglaries Just now," said Police Superintendent Bull this morning. "Reports from Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, Rochester and other cities Indicate unusual activity on the part of night prowlers in each of the places mentioned. It looks as If prisons and penitentiaries In different Bectlons of the country had simultaneously disgorged burglars, and that the men liberated had started to work at once. We are using every means to check the epidemic In Buffalo and expect to have It under control soon. Districts like the Elmwood territory are receiving especial attention, and if the precautions now in force fall to bring about expected results, the number of men patrolling those localities will be Increased.

"1 can't tell you just what we are doing, because If you published it the men we are trying to catch would profit by the intelligence more than anyone else. We are working on clews which we hope will result In the arrest of the men responsible for the Henry Job and other burglaries. We are reasonably sure we know who did those Jobs, but we can't make arrests until we are definitely certain. "I wish you would urge householders to be especially careful Just now. Houses should not be left aione at night unless all the windows and dors are securely locked.

Diamonds and other valuables should not, under any circumstances, be left on dressers or In other pieces where burglars are most likely to look for them." WANTS HIS JOB BACK. Board of Public Works Must Show Cause For the Discharge of Samuel H. Wortman. Samuel H. Wortman.

HIS BODY WAS FOUND THIS MORNING.

Supposed to Have Been Overcome by Vapors snd Died Before Being Able to Call For Help. The lifeless body of Frank Casazza. an Italian employed as a foreman by Louis Onetto, manufacturer of macaroni and vermicelli was found lying face downward In an empty wine cask at 8 c-'olock thlB morning. Life had been extlrict for many hours. Death was due to- suffocation caused by the fumes from the cask.

Casazza, It went to the wine room yesterday afternoon, as was his custom. He drew off the wine 1n the 600-gallon cask and then removing the cap or opening on the head of the cask squeezed his way through the narrow opening to clean the Inside. The fumes from the sediment left In the bottom of the cask were too strong and It is thought that he suffocated within a few minutes after he entered. His brushes, which did not bear the appearance of having been used, were found lying beside him. Onetto himself discovered his unfortunate foreman when the place was opened this mornung.

The police were notified and Coroner Wilson was called. The Coroner ordered the body removed to the home of Gasazza's mother, 323 Upper Terrace. Casazza was 38 years of age and unmarried. He was the sole support of his widowed mother and sister. He had been employed by Onetto In various capacities for eight or nine years and was highly spoken of by his employer.

Casazza belonged to three or four secret orders and one of these bodies will take chaTge of the funeral arrangements. The family of Onetto. thought a great deal of Casazza and their grief at the tragic happening was deep. The shock to Casazza's aged mother was terrible. Mr.

Onetto broke the news to her as gently as possible, but the woman could not be comforted for some hours. TOM ALLEN UNDER ARREST Old Prize Fighter Charged With a Murder in His St. Louis Saloon. (By Associated Press.) ST. LOUIS, Feb.

Animal Was Bound Up Stairs, and Gave His Advisers the Laugh When He Reached the Top. A trained horse known as Bonner fooled a big crowd standing in front of Wonderland at noon today. Bonner's trainer had led the horse to the theater entrance on Main street, and stood there for some time, talking to an employe of the theater. The crowd supposed, the talk was relative to getting Bonner up the stairs, and discussed methods that should be employed. "Dey'll have t' lif 'lm troo a winder wld a derrick," remarked a small boy.

"Nix, dey'll put slats on de steps fer 'lm t' get a hold on, an' den letm walk up." said another. The men standing around solved the problem In as many different ways as the boys did. While everybody was wondering how the horse would reach the second story of the theater, Bonner's trainer released his hold on the horse's bridle, and before anyone realized what was going on Bonner was half way upstairs, going for the top 10 steps at a jump and making more noise than a railroad train. At the top he turned around and looked at the crowd, as though he was conscious of having fooled everybody. POLICEMEN DISCIPLINED.

It is known as the A'eponaet Waterproof Comptroller Knight's Figures Show That It Will Be Lower Than Last Year. ESTIMATES REDUCED BY OVER $200,000. Aldermen Probably WilT Make a Substantial Reduction in the Figures For the Parks. Comptroller Knight this morning finished his delicate task of pruning the estimates of the various city departments, for the coming fiscal year. At the meeting of the Aldermen this afternoon he will submit them In detail, with the cuts he has made carefully enumerated, and it will then devolve upon the Council to begin their annual wrangle over them.

Mr. Knight has not Impaired the condition of any department in his treatment of the estimates, but has merely cut out expenditures which he believes can be dispensed with this year, and has endeavored to do his part conscientiously In lowering the present high tax rate. Upon the figures he submits he estimates that the tax rate for the next fiscal year will be about $17.50 on each $1000 of assessed valuation. During the past year It has been $18.04. "Do you think the Council will cut the estimates much, as submitted by you?" he was asked.

"They will probably cut them about $200,000, principally In the Department of Parks, where an Increase of $155,000 is Rhown." "Why did you not make this cut?" "The Comptroller is required by the charter to transmit to' the Common Council the estimates of the Department of Harks exactly as received by him, so that, though he may feel that certain Items should be reduced or entirely eliminated, he Is prohibited by law from Interfering with them. "What Is the aggregate amount of pruning you have done?" "It amounts to over $200,000 In a communication to the Council, Mr. Knight says the Increase over the appropriations of the present fiscal year amounts to JH6.122.75. The total amount necessary for maintenance is. estimated resources from all departments.

total amount to be raised by general tax, $4,527,805.54. The Charity Organization Society rec ommended a large reduction or entire elimination of the appropriations for outdoor relief In the Poor Department Mr. Knight Informs the Aldermen he believes this Is a question they should determine. He also leaves to the Council appropriations aggregating $95,000 for purchase of flre boat ice breaker and new quarters for Engine No. 8 In the Fire Department; salary of $900 for an as slstant clerk and manager, and $540 for additional laborer in the Police Depart ment, He concludes: "I have placed in the estimates for the maintenance of the Buffalo Public Library an amount equal to 4-5 of 4-100 of 1 per cent, of the assessed valuation of the city, or which is about $300 less than the amount appropriated during the present fiscal year."

We feel sure that you would all receive considerable pleasure from these books without adding to your duties and should like you to make the experiment.

H. L. ELMENDORF. Superintendent. ONLY DETAILS TO BE SETTLED.

"It occurred to us." added Mr. Norton, "that the endless -chain plan would keen the books out too long, as they might get hopelessly out of repair by the time they had gone the rounds." He suggested that finding-lists be placed In each flre house so that the men Individually could make the selections they wanted, and then procure them di rectly from the library and return them to the library. "The trouble with that plan would be that it would take men away from the houses at the time when their presence Is needed, suggested Chief McConnell. Several plans wre discussed tentatively, and then Mr. Norton suggested a conference with Supt.

Elmendorf for the settlement of details. Mr. Elmendorf," said Mr. Norton, "is anxious to place the books within the reach of everybody who wants them, and no man In the country knows better what plans to pursue jto. bring about the best results.

Commissioner Malone and Chief Mc Connell willingly accepted the proposi tlon and will call upon Supt. Elmendorf as soon as he returns home, which will be within a few days. They went away well satisfied with the conference, since its main purpose had been accomplished that of making certain that the men were to receive the books. Nothing but the settlement of details of arrangement now remains. a great man.

It was because he wrote of the things he knew, and because he wrote of those matters which every man has known all along but could not say that he will forever hold a place In the hearts of men. He wrote to men. His lines were virile, strong, masterful. He was but rather the 0 tlmlst who saw In life all that was worth the living; and It was of this joy of living-remembering alwayB the tragedies that he wrofe. He was the prophet of Tommy Atkins and his red-coated brothers.

He told of their work and of their play. He knew them through and through, and they loved him as they should. He knew the priests of the temples. He told of them. He knew the beasts.

of the Jungles and told their stories as only he could tell them because he knew. He told of the Naulahka and the gems of India, and It was of these that he wrote with Mrs. Kipling's brother. Wolcott Balestler, In the "Story of East and West." CASE OF CHILMABOR. Grand Jury Found No Bill Against Murstein For Violating Factory Laws.

The Department of Health has been beaten in Its first case to have a person punished for employing children under the age of 16 years who do not hold certificates from the Health Department. A year ago a law was passed by the Legislature requiring all children under the age of 16 to apply to the department for certificates. The certificates must show the age of the child, and say whether It is physically able to perform the work called on to do. Recently Dr. Wende learned that Aaron Murstein of 1027 Broadway, a dealer In dry goods, had employed a 14-year-old boy who had never applied to the Health Department for a certificate.

Word was also brought to the department that Mr. Murstein also worked his employes more than 60 hours a week, In violation of the law, and did not provide separate toilet rooms for his men and women employes. The case was presented to the grand Jury last week. It was announced this morning that the grand Jury voted to find no bill In the case. Mr.

Murstein has discharged the 14-year-old boy, and has told the authorities he intends to live up to all the factory laws. This is the first case In this county where an employer has been prosecuted for hiring children who did not have the necessary certificates. FIREMEN VISITED THE MAYOR. Capt.

Feb. 27. Messrs. Rlos and Rivera, the Filipino Commissioners, sailed today on the steamer California for Liverpool. "INADA" StcII Buimu Cotlu uett.Peabody6Co I MAIttS John F.

Malone, chairman of the Board of Fire Commissioners, and Bernard J. McConnell, Chief of Department, had a conference with Nathaniel W. Norton, president 6f the Buffalo Public Library, at 11 o'clock this forenoon, for the purpose of carrying Into effect a plan recently suggested by the NEWS that of placing a selection of books from the Library In every Are house In the city. -Commissioner Malone opened the subject by requesting the Library management to place a small number of books In each of the 45 fire houses, stating that he believed that such a course would be for the advantage of the men themselves and would be for the good of the public service. "I am very glad you called, gentlemen." replied President Norton.

"The Library management Is anxious to reach all classes and conditions in the whole city to extend the benefits of the Institution to everybody. The Idea which the NEWS advanced and which you are advocating Is the correct one, and is In line with our policy of placing subllbrarlos in a part of the schools." Commissioner Malone suggested that the selection of books placed in each fire house be shifted to the next house at the end of a certain period, thus establishing an endles3 chain arrangement. "The Fire Commissioners will become the custodians of the books," said he, and will be responsible for their care. "The department will also attend to the procuring and return of the books." FORMAL PROPOSITION. Mr.

Norton then read to Commissioner Malone the following proposition on behalf of the Library: D.ar Sir There has been some discussion of late upon placing libraries In the police stations and flre company houses. The Buffalo Public Library Is anxious to meet all demands of this kind as quickly as possible, and the taxing of Its resources by the placing of stations and libraries in the centers of greater demand has been the only reason for delay of action In this di Rudyard Kipling whs born In Bombay, Dec. 20, 1865, and Is, therefore, just past 34. He was the son of John Lockwood Kipling, who, at the time of the son's birth, was the head master In the Industrial School at Lahore. The lather was a man of marked literary and artistic ahlllty, and, according to the men who knew him, a man whose work strongly Inlluenced that of his son.

Like most of the Indian-born English children, the boy was sent to England to school, and placed In the care of an aunt. It has been said that one of Rudyard Kipllng'B earliest stories the pathetic "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" was autobiographical, and that it told in some degree the sufferings of a homesick boy. This may or may not be true, but It Is still a fact that his He In England, away from his parents, was a nightmare, and that It had a tremendous bearing upon the quality of his later work. In 1SS0 he returned to India, and was made a sub-editor of the Lahore Civil and Military Gazette. It was then that he began writing his fascinating Indian stories, and (he verses which attracted so much attention over the two hemispheres in the middle eighties.

It was here that he wrote his "Plain Tales from the Hills," and It was here that Deever" first appeared in print. Afterward while still editor of the down country newspaper, he collected the tales and some of the verses, and published them in book form. They were printed In Allahabad, and the llt- Ue gray paper volumes which found their way Into the United States In 1X88 aue among the choicest of literary treasures. The books were Instantly successful, and during all this time the young author was doing more than a sub-editor's work on his newspaper. During the fever season his associates were sent to the hill country for recuperation or taken away to be laid under the deodars.

But Kipling stuck to his post, and during the season when It was almost certain death to stay in the city he ran his newspaper, doing the work of many men, and bringing to himself the knowledge that has made his stories the classics of India in this century.
