TINY SCHOOLOY -) AS ADETECTIE oung Son of Sergt. Michael Rein * Successfully Shadowed and ' Caught an Alleged Trainer of Juvenile Culprits. THEFTS HAD BAFFLED FATHER A LONG TIME. Disoouraged, He Finally Took the Youngster from School and Put Him to Work Upon the Case. ‘A very small detective is fourteen- wvear-old John Rein, but he has just succeeded in bagging a trio of youthful erooks by the use of straight out-and- eut detective work learned from his frrher, Detective-Sergeant Michael Rein. More than that, John's work has brought attention to the operations of a Yang of thieves who have been corrupt- \hg east side school children, and as a jesult there will probably be le: hg of pockets and robbing of stores in Ihe shopping district in the future. Harry Winters, an eighteen-year-old boy, of No. 242 East Third street, who has one under a number of different names and is a very skilful thief, has been ing around the Fourteenth street and 'wenty-third street stores for the past few weeks with smal! boys whom he has taught to steal, Detective-Sergeant Rein noticed him some time ago and degan to watch him. But Winters ts a ‘very shrewd young man, He knew Rein was a detective, and he was careful not to do any business when the officer was In sight. John Helped His Father. Rein was very anxious to catch Win- ters and his young proteges red handed, ®0 he took his son John out of school @nd put him on the trail. John was very proud of the trust imposed in him and for days he followed Winters and two young Hebrew boys from place to place. He saw the bovs steal things from women's chatelaine bags and smuggle things from store counters, all of which they would pass to Win- ters, who was generally hovering about. Young John was able to get very Ploso to the thieves, who were mere Phildren and we was thus able to ob- rve their methods without detection. ‘he youngsters were so small that they pould crawl under a woman's arm with- put being seen, open her bag and }mpty it without her knowing any one ‘was near. John reported regularly to father and yesterday Detective ein decided to follow his son when e latter took the trail and see if he fouldn’t catch Winters in the act. John trailed the trio to a hair-dreasing blishment at Sixth avenue and Fit- Yeenth street, in front of which a lurge crowd was standing. Winters -d his two assistants wriggled their into the crowd, with John close behii. Ina minute John came,out with word that the thieves had already stolen a watch and a pocketbook. Rein then plunged 4nto the crowd and grabbed Winters, while John bagged the two boys. Win- ters tried to throw a pocketbook and a ‘watch away when he was arrested, but yWas prevented. ‘Taken to Headquarters, The three prisoners were taken to Po- lice Headquarters, where the two young boys sald they were Hyman Goldberg, twelve years old, of No. MS Ludlow atreet, and Jacob Lipnik, ten years old, ‘of No, 18 Stanton street. Goldberg ts a pupil at Public School No. 1 at Suf- folk and Rivington streets, and Lipnik Rttended Public School No. 140 at Nor- folk and Rivington streets. ‘The boys admitted they were thieves, and sald that they had been taught to ateal by Winters, who had also edu- cated a number of their school com- panions in crime, Goldberg said that Winters had used Mim and Lipnik steadily for four days ind that they had turned over a lot of plunder to him. ‘The three prisoners were arraigned in e Jefferson Market Court to-day and eld for examination on Friday, 0 ee ‘FRIEND FOR GIRLS WHO TRIED TO DIE Mrs. Gichner, of the Baroness Clara de Hirsch Home, Will Provide for Them Until They Find Employment.

Fyne Goldberg SHOT THE MAN WHO BEAT HIM AT POOL Watkins Found the Change in; His Coat Fifty Cents Shy and, Fired a Bullet Into the Victor of the Game. After being defeated in a strenuous game of pool this afternoon Joe Wat- kina drew a revolver and fired a bul- let into the bosom of William J. Thompson, the victor in the pool game. Thompron is in Roosevelt Hospital at the point of death. The men are negroes and live in the! upper west side negro district, Thomp- son at No. 2% West Sixty-first streot, and Watkins in. Sixty-fourth streot between Tenth and Eleventh avenues. The pool game was played in a saloon at No, 204 Wost Sixty-first street. While the game was in progress the men hung thelr coats and vests on hooks on the wall. Watkins searched hin coat for money with which to settle for the game and found his supply of cash 50 cents short. He accused Thomp- son of stealing it and followed the accusation with a bullet. After the shooting Watkins ran down Sixty-first street, followed by a mob of negroes. He entered the house at No. 21, ran to the roof, crossed over to No, 23 and then ran down to the street, where he ws captured by Po- liceman Tierney. A crowd of negroes surged around Tierney and his captive. The police- man did not know whether the crowd wanted to rescue Watkins or kill him, so he signalled for help. As the dis- trict 1s dangerous the policemen who responded to the call weer by no means gentlo in handling the crowd and riot- ous conditions prevailed until Watkins was safely imprisoned in the West Sixty-eighth street station-house. When the excitement died down Wat- kins was taken to Roosevelt Hospital, where Thompson {dentitled him, THEATRES HURRY TO OBEY LANS|: They Push Forward Alterations So as to Avoid Being Closed To-Morrow Night by the Mayar as Threatened.

MAYOR T00 YOUNG TO KISS. BRIDES Performs His Second Marriage Ceremony, but Blushingly De- clines to Take Advantage of His Prerogative. Thomas Callan, a wealthy west side property owner and liquor dealer, was married to-day by siayor McClellan to Rose Elbel, It was at the request of District Leader James J. Hagen that the Mayor agreed to officiate, and Hagen was to have been best man at the wedding. But he arrived at the City Hall after the ceremony, and while Boniface Callan was proudly in- troducing his bride to his friends. “All over?" exclaimed Hagen, as he hustled Into the reception-room at the City Hall, “Why, I didn't think you were going to pull off the tying match in such @ hurry.

Two of the Mayor's office attendants were pressed into service, and In the reception-room the wedding | took place. It was observed that the word “obey” was omitted In the rite: The bride, a tall, handsome woman— is thirty and he ffty-five—had re- vested that the word be omitted.

DETECTIVES HAVE HIM UNDER SURVEILLANCE. Authorities Are Said to Have Discovered New Evidence and to Be Working Along New Lines with Success. Despite the lack of prosecution on the part of the District-Attorney’s office, Tomasso Petto, alias ‘The Ox,"* may yet, t in asserted, be brought to trial for alleged complicity in the celebrated murder. When Poetto left the criminal branch of the Supreme Court last Friday, freed by the abandonment of the caso against him by Assistant-District Attorney Healy, he returned to hin old haunts in Mulberry street, where he was met and {dentified by Secret Service men, who immediately Informed Chief Wilkie, of the Secret Service Department. ‘That was Chief Wilkle's first intima- tion that Petto had been set tree by the loca! authorities. That night Petto, who was in a Mott street restaurant celebrating his release from the Tombs with his countrymen, got a telephone call and immediately left the merry party saying he had to go away from the city, That telephone message was sent from the public telephone booth In the Criminal Courts Building. Acting on the suggestion of Chief Wilkie, the Secret Service men detailed to the Italian quarter followed Petto to Portchester. There is a large Italian colony in Portchester, among whom Petto has many frieuds, He remained there until Monday and then réturned to this city, followed closely by Secret Service men who kept Inspector Mc- Cluskv informed. Any attempt on his part to leave the country will be frustrated, it Is asserted, until District-Attorney Jerome finally dismisses the indictment against him, ABEEL STARTS BACK 10-MORROW It Is Believed that the District- Attorney Will Find Great Dif- ficulty in Trying to Convict Him.

Ogden Goclet, jr.,” when he made love to Miss Eleanor Anderson, a pretty telegrapher in the Grand Hotel, starts back to New Yori from Welland, Ont,, to-morrow, Abeel ts charged with forgery in the third degree, and by many lawyers it is belleved the District-Attorney's office will encounter rather peculiar difficulties Jn the effort to convict him, In order to become acquainted with Miss Anderson, Abeel ts said to have presented to her a note of introduction on which the name of J. B. Van Every, the vice-president of the Western Union ‘Telegraph Company, 1s alleged to have been formed. The question brought up by several lawyers is, if it is proved that Abeel did present the letter to Miss Ander- son which was signed with Van Every's name, whether this letter misrepr sented or injuriously affected Mr, Every as the law defines. Both Mr. Van Every and MI son will be called as witness Abeel.
