A 16-year-old married “man” and his chum are being held for investigation at the House of Detention today fol- shop joseph. D street, shortly after 1 o'clock this morning. ‘The youths, Willlam Baker of 308, John Marshall place, whom police Jearned was married three years ago, at the age of 13, and Edward Coffey, 16, of 468 Louisiana avenue, surrendered to McCarron when discovered in the store and told him they had scaled the rear of the 1di; to gain entrance through the third floor window. Three traveling bags, heavily packed with revolvers, ammunition, binoculars, blackjacks and watches, were found by alice behind a counter, along with a njo. Apparently the boys were pre- paring to quit the scene when Mc- Carron arrived. A small amount of change, they are said to have taken from the cash register, was found in their clothing, according to police. The officer was patrolling his beat when the darkened interior of the store aroused his suspicions. Usually, Mc- Carron sald, an electric light is kept zumlng above the safe and cash reg- ter. ‘Turning his flashlight into the estab- lishment, McCarron saw Baker stand- mx at the cash register. The boy drop- behind the counter and Coffey, v\m was in another part of the store, crawled to his side. There they re- mained for several minutes before de- ciding to surrender. Coffey and Baker turned on the store lights, opened the front door and gave .up. A passing citizen summoned the sixth precinct patrol wagon. Other precincts were investigating today to determine whether the youths are wanted in connection with other house- breaking cases. They will be arraigned in Juvenile Court tomorrow on charges of entering Levy’s shop, McCarron said. Policeman McCarron searched Baker's Two Arlington Employes Involved in Dumping of Blooms Memorial Day. ‘Two employes at Arlington National Cemetery were suspended by Army au- thorities today pending further inves- tu-mn of the charge that flowers sent to the cemetery Memorial day were left on & dump heap instead of being placed on the graves of soldiers. The suspension of the two men was ordered by Col. Charles T.

One of the sprays came from an American Legion post in Pitts- burgh, and another from Philadelphia. These sprays bore the name and num- ber of the grave for which they were intended. Col. Mortimer said that while it s customary to leave loose flowers for the Girl Scouts to place on graves after the formal ceremonies of Memorial day are out of the way, Negus, apparently, erred in directing the truckload of sies to be placed with other fll.n flowers.
