SCHEME NEW TO DETECTIVES
Earlier Report of Same Kind oi
Swindle Puts Sleuths
on Trail.
Roberta Boddia, a colored woman,
living at i<>?>4 West Leigh st,..'.. weal
to police headquarters yesterday und
told bow blu had lost $luu by a swindle
which iiiii.si have taxed the ingenuity
?I thoae w!i> plaaaed it it happened
that a similar complaint was received
on Thursday from Georgiaana Kagland,
of iiii Brown Street. Deiecti\es aera j
immediately put to work on the case |
after they had learned the method
employ) l by the fakers. The WOOWs,
it seems, had saved rather comfortable ,
sums of money, but since so many of I
them nst by the recent failure of aj
colored bank they reached the conclu- !
Slotl that tile btsl place to hide cash I
was in the Louse. Casting aside I lie- j
thought that af'ur ail the Dank la
the safest place. Chief of Detectives j
McMahotl got from Roberta at? accu?
rate description of .the Mmflammlng.
Wanted an i-Ivea Spilt.
Two uthei negroes who pretended to
be h.-i Hiiicds persuaded her to walk
;ib >ul a bit. and as they were ambling
along one of the fakers uttered a|
scream and picked up a pocketbook.
which she had that moment dropped I
without putting Roberta wise. Mak- j
ing a secret examination, nhe an- I
nounced that the purse contained $500,
enough money to buy ail the chickens'
that were ever hatched in Georgia. ,
?'Being as we is all friends," said
the chief of the (limflammers, accord- i
lug to Rebecca, "we must dee-vide dis j
money like all Gaul."
?'Fore Gawd, an' how is all (Jaul
dee-Tided?" remarked flimtlammer No. 2. ;
"Into three parts, you nigger," re- .
marked No. 1.
Being good at mathematics, the '
crooks announced with much gusto '
th it SSOO could not be split between !
three frlneds equally without Stinging
somebody, and it wouldn't be fair to:
shave that part which rightly belonged .
to Roberta.
Wanted Something Easy.
So a conference was held. It was
suggested that Roberta go home and
get that $100 which she had concealed
behind the picture of the Bull Moose
on her kitchen wall, fetch it along so
there would be $S00, and the division j
would be as slick as an eel. Koberta
took the bait She hotfooted :t home,
reached up behind the picture of the !
Bull Moose and brought forth the 100j
iron men. The two friends awaited her
arrival. They took her money, put it
in the purse, and suggested to Roberta!
that she slip up to the corner and see !
if she could cast her lamps on a frantic
man in a silk hat, who was looking
down dose to the sidewalk for the fat i
wallet.
"We'll dee-vide dis while you is
gone," they told her. and when Roberta
got back they had gone. Also it is
supposed that they had split her for
tuna into two equal parts. Roberta j
saw no trace of the frantic man in the I
silk hat.
They fleeced Georgianna exactly I
that way.

Strong Resolutions Call for Sup?
press ion of Juvenile
Vice.
Initial steps toward the formation
of a permannt 01 ({animation of women
to roihdt the so-called ? juvenile vice |
wav'e" in Richmond were taken yes?
terday afternoon, when representatives!
of various women's leagues met in the
headquarters of tin- Woman's Chris-)
tian Temperance League Of America,
IT. South Third Strtet. Several reso- I
unions were passed, which are to be
presented to BBC different women's
organizations of the city and re?
ported back to the committee which
Biel yesterday.
Most original Of these resolutions;
wjs that which recommended that
the City Council appoint chaperons I
for each of the moving picture shows
In Richmond, whose duty it shall be
to keep guard over unescorted girls
and to exercise the usual perogetivea
of the chaperon. So far as is known,
such action by the Council would j
blase a trail In municipal guardian?
ship.
Calls for Ceanorehlp.
A second part of the same resolu?
tion calls for careful censorship of j
the vaudeville portion of the moving,
picture offerings, proposing that alt
vaudeville acts receive the stamp of |
approval of a municipal board of cen?
sors before being permitted to be giv?
en on the stage.
A call for the re-enactment of the:
old Curlew law was also made.
While the meeting yesterday was,
not permanently welded into an or-1
gsnisstion, it was representative of
every woman's civic and religious body
in the city.
Those present were Mrs. Norman V.
Randolph, of the Associated Charities:!
Mrs. B. B. Valentine, of the Equal Suf-I
rage League: Mrs. C. V. Meredith, of!
the Girls' Training Association; Miss
Minor, of the Nurses' Settlement: hUssl

Visiting Nurses' Association. Mrs. F.-. E. j
Michaels, of the board of managers
of the Methodist Institute, Hiss

W. A. Burrows, of the Mothers' Club:;
Mrs. George King, of the Kings';
Daughters: Miss Mays, of the Spring;
Street Home: Mrs. W. R Burrell. Mrs.:
S. T. Ledman and Mrs. Georgia May
.lobson. of the Woman's Christian Tem?
perance League of America.
Adopt Many Resolutions.
The resolutions drawn up and adopt?
ed for presentation to the various or?
ganizations were as follows:
Resolved. L That each representative
go back to her own organization and I
get the Indorsement of the action of the
Mayor and the Police Commissioners j
in their effort to get the next Legis
latnre to pass a law raising the age i
of consent from fourteen to eighteen ?
years.
2. That we strongly condemn the '
double standard of morals for men and j
wonapn and urge tljat fathers and |
mothers train their sins as well as
their daughters In the necessity for
purity of life.
That we recommend that the pub
He sohoolhouses be used as social cen?
tres for healthy recreation for the>j
boys and girls of the city, under proper J
supervision. i
I That wc ask the Council to ap- !
point ? haperons for each moving pic- |
ture show and that the vaudeville por?
tion of trie show shall pass the hoard
of censorship.
5, That every effort be made to have
denn and attractive boarding houses
for working women at, rates that they
can afford to pay, supervised by a ca?
pable woman, and so located that they
would not have to live in st.cii con?
gested conditions as are now found in
most boarding places where they can
afford to go.
'V That the proper authorities be
i ur?red to originate and enforce the
(Cut few bell throughout the cltv.
I 7. T.'.at we further call upon the pul?
pit to aid us in our efforts to raise
the standard of morals of our young
men to that required of our women:
also that we urge the ministers to
bring these questions of moral reform
before their congregations at an earlv
date

Police Carry Out Order When

Were Not Provided.
TOOK BULL BY THE HORNS
Inspector Claims That lie
Couldn't Find Anybody at
Theatre to Obey Order.
Aft lncr upon orders from Building
Inspector Beck, issued through Chief
of I'oliee Werner. Patrolman Jacobin!
last night ordered M. Li Hofhelmer.
owner, to close The Utttt Theatre,
which adjoins the Kmplre. Though
vigorously protesting, Mr. Hofhelmer
dosed the house at the end of the per
formance In progress when Jacobinl
conveyed the order. It cannot be
opened without permission of the
Building Inspector.
It developed that the management |
of the theatre had never obtained a j
permit from the Board of Public
Safety to open. The Little Theatre '
?ras opened far the rlrst time on Step- '
tent per z. and at that time an inspec?
tion showed that it was not properly
equipped with B re-escapes and there j
were no proper signs indicating emer- ;
g? DCy exits. The defects were of a
character that could be remedied In i
a short while, and the building was
allowed to be thrown open to the pub.
He with the understanding that fire
escapes and exit notices b<j installed ;
at once.
Notices, it was said, were served j
repeatedly upon Mr Hofheimer to com. ;
ply with ihr law, but bo attention was j
paid them. i
Took Case to Theatre.
Deputy Building Inspector Smith'
yesterday reported that no steps, had ,
been taken toward compliance with)
the city ordinance. Inspector Berk
immediately communicated with Ma?
jor Werner and asked that the po?
lice shut up the theatre at once.
Before Smith had formally report**!
the matter the local manager of the
theatre referred him to Manager Ed.
P. Lyons, of the Colonial Theatre, who
disclaimed any knowledge of the af?
fair. As lesse. Mr. Hofheimer, it is
claimed, said he would do nothing, and
apparently the.re was no one in Rich?
mond to direct the erection of signs
an-i flreescapes unless the consent of
.lake Wells was obtained. As no one
wished to assume any responsibility,
the peremptory orders to close went
forth.
Fire escapes on the building are]
made necessary by reason of the fact]
that the .cressing rooms of the Km-j
pire Theatre are in The Little Thea- i
tre. The work demanded by Inspec?
tor Beck can be done very quickly. I

So potent wit the appeal for help
in behalf of the woman and children
who are to be sent back to Australia

that contributions are still coming in

necessary amount for the expenses of

more than enough was on hand, hut
money continued to come in yester?
day until $61.67 more had been re?
ceived, making a total of |36> 6: Hi all.
The additional soms will be moist
gratefully received. The $3>0 was
needed for railroad fare and steani-r

especially for a woman suffering from
tuberculosis. There are other inci?
dental expenses. All the funds will be
handled by the Instructive Visiting

gration and the special rate tickets 0:1
