He said that Uarbee had walked off
with his overcoat and had picked his

The detectives sought Barbee at his
horn-.. but he was absent. They
searched the premises, and found Fuz
hugh's overcoat hidden behind a rfas
meter. Ia one of the pockets wa? a
watch which Iddings identified as his.
While the detectives were waiting
fox a car at Seventh and Broad Streets
Barb-e passed. He was well-known to
Mdir.gd. and the latter pointed him out
to the officers. H?j denied the oharg-s

depths of humor in th? prosaic speech

Socialism is still far distant, and until i
it comes ore must be diplomatic.
A Wilderness of To>s.
Despite a leaning toward the apir- 1
itual which some yholarb have dis?
covered, the age is still predominantly
material. Christmas has trav. led far
from Us primitive observance as a day
of purely religious rejoicing. To-day
it fireworks, colored light?,
spangies. dwarf spruces aud toys.
All of these are in abundance In
Richmond. While New Yo: k and
other big centres of population face
high prices for b>lly and Christmas
trees, the Valley of the James will
know no i.uch scarcity. Manhattan
will pay from Tj cents to 13.00 for
its dwarf spruces, pines and tlrs. but
Richmond will get its supply for little
more than the cost of hauling. Scrub
pines are plentiful and hatchets are
cheap.
In the shops a wilderness of toys has
been on display for weeks. Buying
was brisk last week and will Increase
in volume daily until the grand wind
up on Christmas Eve. Again the signs
of progress are In evidence. Young
America is no longer satisfied with
the simple spade and pall which de?
lighted it in colonial days, and the
rag doll has borne inodishly dressed
offspring.

OPPOSES TAKING
OF MONTICELLO
Jeffersons Descendant in Rich?
mond Does Not Approve
Mr*. Littleton's Plan.
Cersouall:. I should very niucn
prater to have Mr. Levy remain In pos?
session of Montlcello than to have 11
tuken over by the l.'nitoei sftates gov
ernment A?:d.- fruin my feeling in
*.ne iniittei, 1 am opposed to the idea
of forcibly taking a man's private
property by congressional cna?.tmert.
1 don't think It's right."
That was the comment of Miss Agnes
)> Ki ncoiph. Kreat-great-Kreat-grt.it
daughter of Thomas Jefferson, when
asked laut night by a reporter for The
Times-Dispatch for an expression on
Mrs. Martin Littleton's campaign fag
wresting the Jeff? rson homestead from
the present owner. The proposal to
force Jefferson M. Levy to sell
Montlcello to ths government will be
brought to the attention of tmt Hani
of Representatives In Washington to
?.ay or to-morrow.
Miss Randolph was shown a ncwa
paper d'spat> h quoting a letter to
Representative Leap from Krank M
Randolph, of Keswlck. a cousin of
.Miss Randolph, to the effect that Mrs |
Martin Litt'.- ton's proposal for acquir- ;
ing Montlcello was "a travesty on Jus- j
tlce, a direct Infringement on Ameri?
can liberty and directly opposed to the '?
principles and sentiments of the bulK-|
-r of Montlcello."
Family Opposed to Plan.
"As far as I know," catd Miss Ran
dolph. "the whole famliv Is oppoeed
to Mrs. Littleton's plan. We all feel ;
that Mr. Levy has done much to pre?
serve and care for Montlcello that h?
has spent large sums of money tn '
keeping It In repair, and we feel grate
fa] to him for the many ^ourteslesi
which he has shewn ua. I can't say
the same for Mra. Littleton
"I should like to see the government '
take over an-1 -rare for the cemetery
which la about a quart?r-mile fioml
Montlcello. and which contains the j
graves of Thomas Jefferson, tils wife t
and about twenty of his lineal de?
scendants Xon? of the family lives
near enough now to take proper - Ul
of It and the government might prop- !
erly act as steward. Two of the de- j
cendenta expect to find In this plot t.iei r
last resting pla-e. an?i If the govern?
ment should decide to acquire the ceme?
tery they would insist upon retaining
the right to be burled there."
Favor* A. P. V. A. Idea.
Rather than to have Montlcello pas?
Into the hands of the government,
said Miss Randolph, she woukf prefer
to have It eome urwi-r tlie supervision
of the Association for the Preserva?
tion of Virginia Antiquities or a simi?
lar Virginia patriotic organisation
Such a plan, she thought, would be
preferable, too. to a stewardship by
the United Daughters of the Sonfet
eracy?an alternative scheme which
has gained currency.
Miss Randolph, who Is superinten?
dent of the Virginia Hospital. Is lineal?
ly descended from the framer of the
Constitution through his daughter
Martha, who married Thomas Mann
Randolph. The only other descendant
in Richmond Is Assistant City Attor?
ney George Wayne Anderson, who Is
a cousin of Miss Randolph, ana rorr.es
from the ssme branch of the family.
The cemetery is not part of the
Montlcello estate, while surrounded M
It. and it Is owned In common by all
the Aeaeea lants. Miss Rando.ph sal-,
that she was one of the two who ex?
pect to be burled there.
We Are Gratified
