Frank York, Carbon County solicitor, of Nesquehoning, is receiving the congratulations of people today on his assuming the much needed office of Chief of Police there, by the capture of a youth caught in the act of breaking into York's meat market, which adjoins his home, at 1 a.m. today.

Mr. York modestly disclaims any undue credit for the act. He attributes it to a pint-size terrier, which kept up an incessant barking until Mr. York leaped out of bed, procured a gun and proceeded to investigate.
