BURGLARS MAXE
COMPLETE JOB
Rooms' Ransacked and Much
Valuable Jewelry Carried
Away.
While all th<> house was emply. the j
occupants having gone out to per- j
form various duties, one to pay house |
rent and a gas hill, the residence at J
210 South Randolph Street was broken '
Into and entered some time between 1
nnd .1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and j
blisses Beatrice Boyle and Agnes Mc
Cready returned to lind themselves, j
between them, tin losers of about 1200 '.
worth of Jewelry ,
Entrance was effected through a j
.side window, and the thieves were
evidently deliberate In their opera'
.tioiiH. They went upstairs to the sec?
ond story, where they went through
nnd ransacked all the rooms and broke
epen two trunks. The Jewelry and
three sf> bills were taken from the
trunks. A fur co.ii and parts of other
female paraphernalia, which would
have brought good returns In any
pawnshop, were found neatly tied up
nnd bundled The thieves were evi?
dently frightened off before they had
completed an Inventory of the'r plun?
der or decided to leave behind the
least portable portion of their loot.
Bureau drawers were found open and
emptied, th' contents beipg strewn
ubout on the floor Everything else In
the rooms was truned upside down,
iind It seems that the thieves were
.thorough In their search for valuables.
Dem-rlplloD of Loot.
In the assortment Of jewelry stolen
?were two opal rings, a diamond ring,
a gold rope chain and cross, on wh'ch
was inscribed ''Beatrice, 1909;'' a gold'
brier-let, other nold rlnits. a gold opal
ring on which was engraven "M. .1 T.
to A. McC.;" a sold locket and rope, on
Which was engraved the word "Aggie."
a set of stag knives and half
n dozen silver spoons.
It Is the opinion of the police that
the thieves watched to see when every?
body had left, and then forced an en
tranre. They had ample time in wh'ch
to work, and left liule behind which
appeared to them of value.
NO NEW STATION
NOW CONSIDERED
?Revival of Ancient Rumor Un?
founded?Enlarge Facilities
at Elba.
Reports said to be current yester
?day In regard to the erection of a
great passenger station on West Broad !
Hlreet by the Richmond, Krederlcks
burg and Potomac Railroad Company
?were denied yesterday by officials of
the company, who state that the only
plans of that character now on foot
uro for an enlargement of passenger
facilities at Elba. For twenty years
.past the railroad company has owned
? lid acquired property on West Broad
Street as occasion presented. It now
owns the Richmond Baseball Park, the
grounds of the Hormltase Oolf Club
nnd a large tract near the Intersection
/.f the Belt Eine and Broad Street
Road. Just at the western edge of
the new city limit's. It was at this'
point that the latest report Indicated j
thai the road contemplated erecting t> ?,
Tiew passenger station?one that would |
allow all throuch trains to go baek j
out over the Belt Eine, and so pro?
vide for the eventual abandonment of
the present trii'-ks down Belvldere
Ktr<et through the ,-iiy.
While In a general way some such
rdan has been talked of for years.
W. D. Duke, assistant to the presi?
dent, said last night that no Immedi?
ate proposition looking to this end
was now before the company; that in
fact the only matter relating to pas?
senger facilities in Richmond was the
enlargement of Elba That very neat
nnd attractive little stop on West
Broad Street, intended primarily for
r-uburban service to A?hland and In?
termediate points, has been outgrown,
end it? facilities will be Increased In
pome way. though no new station IS
anticipated for the present.
Probable Flnol Outcome.
Ultimately the general plan will no
doubt be carried out. the tracks in)
Broad Street and Belvldere Street!
abandoned, and the present Byrd |
Street Station reduced in size and con-;
verted Into only a suburban station for
local nnd Petersburg trains. All
through trains, both of the Coast Line
and Seaboard, could then be brought
Into the new west end station, which
would also accommodate all trains for;
Washington and points North. Mean?
while the Belt Line railroad. In anti?
cipation of further growth of the city
westward, has he<n eliminating grado
crossings by Installing overhead
bridges for Cary, Grove and Broad
Street Loads. Just beyond the new city
limits.
The Belvldere Street franchise Is a
perpetual right, which the city, under
opinion of the Citv Attorney, cannot
revoke, but both the present City At?
torney and his predecessor, Charles
V. Meredith, have held that the city
may Impose reasonable restrictions.
Prayer Meeting.
Beglnninc to-morrow afternoon at 3
o'clock weekly prayer services will be
held at the headquarters of the Wo?
man's Temperance League of America.
15 South Third Street The opening
meeting will be condurted by Mrs
William McBaln. These services,
v.iilch will l.ast one hour, will take,
place every Wednesday afternoon.

Straightouts Prepare Brief for!
State Committee's Considera?
tion To-Night.
Several members of the Norfolk
county factions came to the city yes- I
torday to attend the meeting of the J
State Democratic Commltee, which will
be- called to order by Chairman .1 Tay?
lor Lllyson in the assembly hall ol
Murphy's Mote) at S O'clock to-night
Complete silence still surrounds the
report which the subcommittee will |
present as the result of Its Investiga?
tion of the June primary in Not folk
county
Secretarv J. N Brenatnan has made
arrangements lor adding machines ami
expert operators to tabulate the <jftl
eial returns of the recent primary. It
Is expected fhat mcpst of the members I
of the committee will be present.
Counsel for tin- Norfolk county j
fetratghtouts have forwarded their !
brief to the members r>f the commit?
tee It says In part:
"That there still exists In the coun?
ty of Norfolk an alliance or combina?
tion between certain leading Republi?
can officeholders and certain leading
and minor Democratic officeholders,
with tneir respective adh.-rents. the
purpose of which Is to perpetuate
themselves In their offices, and that
this -.omblnation Is equivalent to noth?
ing |es3 than a betrayal of the cause
of true Democracy In Norfolk county.
"The exnstence of such an alliance
Is negatived only by the very unsatis?
factory testimony of certain persons
who hold offices or pecuniary con?
tracts under the fusion government of
Norfolk county, while It Is over?
whelmingly proven by the testimony
of numerous strnlghtnut Democrats
and iJemocrata not connected with I
this contest or even voting In Norfolk
county, by the testimony of former
Fuslonlsts and former Republicans,
and by the very recent and remark?
able letter of the Republican head ol
the alliance put In evidence."
.Need OrftMIc Action.
The contestants, Tn concluding theli
brief, a copy of which has been
mall?d to every member of the State
Committee, make the following dec?
laration:
"It is submitted that the anomalous
and long-continued abnormal politi
can conditions of Norfolk county
make drastic action necessary at this
time, to the extent of a repudiation of
Cromwell and his associates by the
State Central Committee as candi?
dates on a Democratic ticket; it being
firmly believed that if they are recog.
nized as Democratic candidates there
will In November be a r.-petitlon of
the three elections held since the
adoption of the present Constitution,
keeping the control of the govern?
mental and political machinery in thai
hands of the Republican national
committee-man from Virginia, notwith?
standing the fact that for every qual?
ified Republican voter In Norfolk
county there are two qualified Demo?
cratic voters, and putting It in the
power of himself and his allies to Ile
publicanize. even to Africanize, the
? ounty and nullify the beneficent fran
< hlsc provisions of the Constitution.
