Thieves Enter a Building on
Washington Row.
They Go Up the Spout and Get in a
Third Stsry Window.
Small Booty Secured and the Safes
Were Left Untouched.

There was a case of robbery on Wash
ing;on Row last night which did not
result very profitably for the perpetrators
but indicated good deal of recklessness
on their part.
The break occurred in the building oc-
cupied by Kimball Brothers, the Stand
ard Printing Company and the Akerman
Company.
The thieves effected an entrance through
a third story window, opening into the
water closet OF the Standard Printing
Company, which they reached by reck-
less piece OF spout climbing in the rear of
tho building.
The office of the printing company were
ransacked, the desk OF the treasurer,
George I. Paine was pried open, and office
furniture generally overturned.
The amount of the stealings in this
place, however. did not exceed ten dol
lars, including the value Of box of
cigars taken from the desk of
b. f. Briggs. From this Office the
thieves crossed the hall and got into the
Office of the Akerman Company by breaK-
ing the glass out OF the door. Here they Sc
cured only about dollars worth of stamps
and the contents OF the cash drawer
Three safes taat were in the office were
not touched. It was apparently the
work OF sneak thieves rather than OF safe
crackers.
The police have been notified and De-
tective Parker was furnished with a cigar
box corresponding to the one stolen.

Colonel Charles Warren Lippitt, the
Republican candidate for Governor, is
Rhode Island boy, bred in the bone. Born
in Providence, Oct. s, 1916, educa-
ted in Providence schools and
receiving his college education
in Brown University, whence he was
graduated in 1865. He has been identi-
with Rhode Islands business and COM
merce, and with its institutions, and has
always been active, vigorous, alert and
progressive in his ideas for
the advancement OF the States
interests in whatever line. Colonel
Lippitt is peculiarly qualified for the
Office to which his fellow citizens in the
Republican party have nominated him,
and to which the voters Of the State will
elect him on Wednesday, April 3, next.
Though for more than quarter OF a
century Col. Lippitt has given the closest
attention to his large business interests,
he has never failed to respond to any
call looking TO the furtherance OF
the concerns OF Rhode Island, and
he has been a leader ia many
business interests of the country at large.
Natural attainments, an analytical mind,
education and special training
in his youth, combined with
The gift of eloquence in no small
degree, have contributed to make Colonel
Lipptt prominent factor in work and
discussions affecting business and politi-
Colonel Lippitt was leading member
OF the Franklin Lyoeum, then in its
prime. He was president of the
lyceum in 1876 and 1875, and, together
with Colonel Henry J. Spooner, after
ward Congressman, participated In
stirring debate with two prominent rep
resentatives of the famous Brownson Ly-
ceum, debate that is referred to even at
this date, after 20 years, rs one of the
most notable meetings on the records of
the forensic gladiators OF these two organ
izations.
Colonel Lippitt and his partner won.
Colonel Lippitt has always been active
in the Board of Trade, and was in 1873, '79
and so, its first vice president, being
elected president in 1891, and again in
1882, when he closed his service in Office
with a notable address on Commerce in
Providence" which effort was distin-
guished by remarkable insight into
existing conditions and an equally
marked recognition OF future possibili-
ties for the commerce of this city and
State.
Colonel Lippitt also made study of tho
problem OF steamship subsidies, and an
address delivered before the Commercial
Club, OF which he was afterward secre-
tary, vice president and president,
was splendid contribution to the move
ment inaugurated by Republican states
men all over the country in behalf OF the
great national issue then beginning to be
prominently discussed.
The Providence Journal at the time
commented editorially on the address to
the effect that IL afforded "a vast deal OF
pertinent and important informa-
tion," containing mot merely
commercial, but patriotic sugges-
tions worthy of candid attention."
and further congratulsting the Club,
before whom the payer was read, upon
the fact that ZONE OF its younger members
should display a study, an intelligence
and business and literary capacity and
effort" such os that important ad-
dress displayed. Colonel Lippitt sub
