‘ POLICE ENIOY FLATBUSH LIFE, 3-Cottage Station More Allur- ing to Bluecoats Than Thief Chasing, Neighbors Say. MANY HOUSES LOOTED. Citizens Talk of Vigilantes if Appeals to Mayor and Cropsey Fail. ‘Wacle Joe Kouenhoven drew up the ade of the “company room" window tm the Kouenhoven home in Kouen- even Lane, Flatbush, and squinted through the @lamond-paned glass at ‘three little frame cottages across the commons, in chimneys of which wisps of emoke were curling in a cheery, bamelike fashion. “There they be, those po—iice,” he ald, and his Inflection was anything Dut friendly, “with thetr chairs drawn ‘up to the fire, a-whittling and a-playing Binochle and checkers or else nibbling @ried apples and cookies, if they were fn @ store at The Corners instead of Tepresentatives of Greater New York's great po—iice force sent out here to} Protect the citizens of Fiatbush—and | every man-jaok of those citizen: dling in his boote for fear o' burglars ‘The cottages at which Uncle Joe G@irected his malevolent gaze are the headquarters of the new 174th Precinct, New York Police, and surely the stran- gest quarters that any member of this city’a “Finest” ever found himself in When the Fiatbush citizens dectded wome months ago that their locality ‘wae becoming too popular with the Independent and Benevolent Brother- hood of Burgiars and appenied to the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen for More police protection they were ap- eased by the assignment there of a captain, two lieutenants, four sergeants and forty patrolmen, A Three-Ply Station. Instead of building a station, the heads of the department, yielding to the siren volce of a Flatbush real estate agent, leased the three dainty Uttle cottages in East Thirty-Atth street, near Flatbush avenue, and for twenty days the protectors of Matbush have had their quarters in surroundings de- signed for commuters whose artistic as- Pirations are supposed to run to golden oak bedroom sets, axminster rugs, horse-hair sofas, rubber plants and cuckoo clocks, The middie cottage—the three stand alone in the midst of a snow-covered plain not far from the weatherveaten, century old Van Rensselaer mansion, With its low-hanging Dutch eaves and ite vit Pump in front—is used by Capt. John Reith and the leuten- ants, with the desk in the front room downstairs. The other two are vsed by the sergeants and the men, all of whom have gone in for country life so enthustastically that the Benevolent Burs! have continued their opera tions with Joy and vigor unrostratned. Burglars Don't Mind. Three times in as many weeks bur- @lare tried to enter the home of T. b. Acketson, one of Flatbush’s real estate operators—mot the one who effected the lease of the three cottages, however— and Wednesday night one of them got into the vestibule. The Ackersons French bulldog bit a piece out of his Jeg as he got away with Mr. Acker- #on's new fur coat and high hat. ‘I ran out to the front door and fired ‘one shot at the fellow,” said Mr. Ack- erson, “but mised.

Burning up fuel and working like a slave to do it? There’s a far better way to get clean iclothes.
