WRIGHT REPORTS ACTIVITIES
OF DETECTIVES DURING 1920
PnpeHf Viilard at I2#8(ld'>-19 Stolen
In Iticfcmond? A*lu (or Foor
More Slentka.
That the detectlvo bureau of Rich
mond recovered two-thirds o* the
property stolen in Kichmond during
j919, la the statement of Captain A. j
,S. Wright, head of the bureau, in his
annual report to the Chief of Police.
The tot*! amount of goods stolen was
valued at $298,155.3'J, while tho re
covered property was valued at $194.
1J4.19.
Because of the additional burdens
ot the department, Captain Wright re
quests four additional detcctives for
1020.
Arresta during the year exceeded
tho total of any previous year. 1,329
persons having been taken Into cus
tody by the department during 1'J19.
Tho Increase is due largely to the ox
cflsslve number of petit and grand
larcenies, as well as fugitives from
justice arrfcetod In Richmond for other
places, Tho latter totaled 105 arrests
While tho doiAbined arrests on
ldrceny chareos were 432. One person
was arventod for attempted murder,
atJd four on murder charges during
the yoar.
During the year 433 persons were
bfought to the Richmond onice, finger
printed, photograpiied and descriptions
taken, with copies of each identillca
tlon forwarded to the Identification
ilUreau, Washington, D. C., and to
many other polioa departments
throughout the country.
OUlcers of the itichmond Detectivo
Hureau responded to 2.839 robbery re
ports through the yoar, and aHslBtod
in the search for 112 missing persons
reported to tho department.
Efforts of the detective bureau were
'not confined to the limits of Rich
mond, 360,000 circulars for stolen
automobiles having been sent out;
1,661 letters received and answered,
<md 685 telegrams acknowledged by
the department.
In spite of the acooihpliflbmenta or
the bureau, Its duties ai*e increasing
as shown In the report for 1819, and
it is expected that 1320 will even ex
coed tt?e activities of the past year.
Kor that reason, Captain Wright states
In his report:
"Owing to the vast amount of busl- 1
ness that has been assigned to this
bureau, it I# a physical Impossibility
to glv? full justice to the complain
ants with our limited force, and should j
the hlerhest standard of efficiency be
maintained. It will be absolutely neces
sary to assign more tnefk with this de
partment. 1 would, therefore, respect
fully suggest and recommend that four
more men be selected from the uni
formed force."

Woman Says He Is Grand,
While Man Says He's
' Menace.
ROMB, Jan. 17.?Foreigner a who
visit Kiumo and enjoy the hospitality
of Gabriolic d'Annunxlo, the "poet
warrior," who rules thefe, are by no
means agreed as to whether his ad
Venture In Fftimo should bo supported.
Two American women who recently
returned from that city are enthu
siastic about the poet. One of them
said that ho seemed to her only the
"embodiment of a spiritual movement,"
and thnt "hi# enthusiasm carrlos one
away from all thought of hlni other
than as the herald of his great Idea.
He t=eems to bo a voice front another
world."
A hard-headed American Journalist
said on returning to Home: "It is
all hunk. It's the worst pipe drfcam
1 ever ra.n into. Some dreamers and
Idealists may sympathize with D'An
ntniKio's adventure, but I cannot tee
anything hut harm In it for Italy.
It is a blow to tho discipline of the
army and navy and a menace to the
Italian gove/nment. At. first It was
rather amusing, but one gets tired
of farce."
Apparently there Is a wide diver
gence of views Rmone Italians as
among foreigners as to the value of
the D'Annunzio expedition. Many
Italians who aro enthusiast lo about
it at first have chilled on second
thought. This especially Is true
among members of the conservative
parties, who attribute tho great gains
of the Socialists in the recent gen
eral elections to the extreme National
ist movement w? typified by d'Annun
zio.
