The Chief is in receipt of a letter
from Ous J. Soderberg, a former Itcd
Cloud boy, who is now a member of
the New York 1'ollce Department.
Soderbcrg will be remembered by a
large number of citizens here, although
it has been about seven years since
he left here. He has been on the
police force of New York City for
about five years, and has reached a
place where he is now drawing better
than 8100 per month, and writes as
though he wus entirely satisfied with
his chosen work.
He states that there are some 10,200
men on tha force, aud to use his own
words, "they Bre for the most part, all
of them holiest aud fearless." lie also
speaks of an important arrest in
which he taken an active part, and
encloses a copy of The New York
Kvcnlug Telegram, which gives a de
tailed account of the arrest.
The clipping follows, and will prove
interesting reading:
Chased up the flro escape of the
building at No. 70 East Tenth street
amid a rain of bullets to which tliov
paid no heed, two alleged safe blowers
battled desperately with a lieutenant
and a policeman early today on roofs
extending along Tenth street and
fourth Avenue. Several times when
the policemen had been felled near
the edge, they opened lire with their
revolvers on the men as they tried to
escape, but missed them. The two
were finally overpowered after being
knocked down with blows from the
butts of the revolvers, ou the roof of
the Elberou Hotel, at So. 7.1 Fourth
avenue.
The men, with another arrested
after a chase over fences and a dis
charge of shots after bitn, were locked
up in the Katit Fifth street police sta

and a kit of safe blowers' tools were
found uear the safe, the bit? outer
door of which had been blown orjen.
Lieutenant McCarrick and Police
men Farrell and Soderberg chanced to
be together early today at u relieving
post at Tenth street and Fourth Ave
nue, when they heard the mullled
sound of what seemed to be an ex.
plosion.
"That sounds like a safe being
cracked," said McCarrick. 'There's
beeua lot of that going ou lately.
Let's Investigate."
They traced the sound to No. 70, on
the second floor of which the Cloak
and Skirt Workers' Union has its
headquarters. Knowing the way of
thieves, they went to the rear, being
admitted to the yard of No. 77 by the
proprietor of a lunch room. Just as
mey got mere tney saw three meu
desoendlug the fire escape. One was
near the bottom.
The three policemen leaped over the
fence. One of the men in the mean
time had reached the yard aud was
climbing over Into No. 81. Farrell
fired a shot to halt him. The mau dis
appeared over the fence. Actiug on
an order from the lieutenant, Farrell
went iu pursuit. '
McCarrick and Soderberir stcrtnd nn
the fire escape after the other two,
who started to ascend to the roof the
minute they saw the policemen, lie
fore McCarrick aud Boderberg began
climbing up they each tired two shots
at the men in the hope of compelling
them to come down. They Ignored
the shots.
The men were out of sight when the
police reached the roof. After a
search lasting three minutes thv
found them hiding under a wator
tower on thu roof of the Hlberon
Hotel. McCarrick aud Soderberg cov
ered the two with their weapons and
ordered them to advance. They obey

In the meantime Farrell was having
a bitter fight with the other man.
whom he dragged from the fenco as he
was trying to climb over Into No. 8.1
Farrell was knocked down with a
kick, but held on to the prisoner. He
rejoined McCarrick and Soderberg
when they returned from the roof.
While the police were investigating
after the arrest of the men they found
that a small safe in the rear of the
furniture store of S. Rovlnsky on the
ground floor had been chisled open.
They could not learn how much monev

Henry Klelmnn, secretary of the

WHAT'S THE PRICE OF A GOOD
SUIT OF CLOTHES ?
WENTY-FIVE dollars. You can buy our clothes
for less than that $20,, $ 1 8, $15; you can pay more
that-we have very fine clothes at $30, $35, $30.
But $25 is a good average price; most men who appreciate
good quality and style in clothes, good tailoring and fit,
are willing to pay as much as $25.
Hart Schaffner & Marx
suits at $25 will surprise you. You'll get all-wool fabrics; trimmings, linings and other materials
of a high grade; tailoring of a very high order -the things that make a suit wear well, and
shapley. You'll get the value of best style standards and orginality of design; you'll get clothes
that fit you well,
it
And you'll gain from $10 "to $20, either in greater value'at ihe price; or lower price
for similar value.
Better see how true this is;
when you see the clothes.
$25 is a price you can afford, and you'll say so
Better come and look at the new spring styles
