UNUSUAL THEFT
♦ lIOUSE-STEALERS ARRESTED PARIS, February 25. An ironmonger living at Puteaux informed the police commissaire that a three-cornered house, andthree iron sheds, one of which was 45 feet high, and a six-foot fence, all the property of the Railway Department, had suddenly disappeared. The commissaire visited the scene and verified the story. To-day the police arrested a gang of seven, who were charged with house-steal-ing. ''The Times" correspondent recalls a former incident which now must be regarded as a comparatively modest feat, when burglars stole a massive staircase while the householders were asleep. The growing ambitions of thieves have resulted in a suggestion that the Eiffel Tower should be closely guarded!
