Tfc y "yeggs" flourish i M the southern an ??' western parts of tt State and In the country districts c all the other States, especially those i the South. The safe blowing and robbery b "yeggs" at Port Chester last week ii dicates to those who know the habll of this queer class of criminals that band are working this way. It is o the cards for them to be heard froi soon in New Jersey or down on Lon Island, although in the past tt "yeggs" have bothered Long Islan very little. The men whose business it is to kno' 5 all about criminals, tneir ways an the peculiar marks by which the r work may be told, have had a har i time in studying the "yeggs." Qe 5 reason is that the "yeggs" are a con peratively new class. It is only within ten years that the have become known in this regidi If they were known previously in oth( , parts of the country detectives hei ? never heard of if. Very little of their origin is knowi ' but that they have a more complet f organization than even the commo American tramp is well establishei I Their work is all of one class.

They must not be confused wit 1 the country road tramp who loot a kitchens and hen roosts, because the do not belong to that class at all an hold sucE petty criminals in grea contempt. The "yeggs" are bright, cleve 3 thieves, who dress well and plan a their operations with care. Their chie 3 characteristic is .their utter fearlest 3 ness. When they mark a place for a rait they don't sneak up to it, throw or 3 guards and use other precaution; They just march up with their implt ments, break open as many doors a . may be necessary, charge the saf 3 with dynamite and touch it off.

Almost invariably 3 fusillade follows any attempt to intei 7 fere with "yeggs," and this evider ? willingness to shoot recklessly alway ; has the effect of keeping people of It must be remembered that th "yeggs" work almost exclusively i country places where there Is no oi ganized police force to interfere ,wit i them. Some folks think the "yeggs" ar ' gypsies, but they certainly don't shoi 1 any signs of belonging to that raci They don't camp out anywhere an - they are seen very little on the roa< 1 What road traveling they do is don by night, as it is a part of their bus 1 ness to keep their movements secre Occasionally "yeggs" are caugh' l Then they are found to be men of ui - usual intelligence.

A general alarm sent out over th surrounding country never seems t result in catching the participants 1 any of these raids. They seem to mel away. ? A remarkable instance of this o< I curred last summer in a small tow in Southern New York. A gang c j about thirty "yeggs" descended on th place. Instead of robbing stores the ^. lrrioa nut n <-nvpfiillv nlanned raid o j the residence district.

They walked through the niai i streets of the place with their loo y flred shots in the air and so terrified th - local police that the latter did not dar ? to interfere. * The next night they came aroun , again and went through the same pe formance.
