Philadelphia. Aug. 2l.-Count de Gloria

Station this morning, on his arrival from,
New YORK He was elegantly dressed
From the tip of his pointed boots to the
crown Of his glistening silk hat, he gave
the appearance Of something Just libera ted
fron hand-box. He was taken to City
Han, where it was learned that lie was
wanted in Pittsburg for larceny.
A warrant had been sworn out for him
in tnat city by a Fannie Smith, young
woman, who claimed that the count had
jewelry belonging to her.
The count asked TO be permitted TO send
telegram TO his friends in New York
This was granted bin. He was at a loss.

had not seen Fannie Smith for about
three years. Then she was a member of
Il singing class he was conducting in
PittsDurg. He said Miss Smith fell des-
perately in love with him and presented him
with a ring
The count said he received a letter from
Miss Smith yesterday to meet her in

LLOYD MAKES NO DEFENSE
Judge Kimball Sentences Him to
a Year in Jail.
Said That He Stole the Law Books
to Save Himself From
STRIVING.

Thomas ". Lloyd, the former employe
of the Congressional Library detected
yesterday in the act Of stealing valuable
books from. that institution, entered
plea OF guilty to the charges preferred
against him in court today.
The prisoner. man of middle age, trem-
blingly listened to the damaging words OF
the witnesses. He was well dressed, but
his bloated face and bloodshot eyes told
but too plainly that drink had been his
ruin.
MIR Kearney, acting librarian OF the law
library, testified that he had missed
number of valuable volumes, and suspected
that the defendant was the guilty person.
Yesterday, when he called and asked for
SOME books. he determined to satisfy him
self upon the point of Lloyd's- guilt, and
accordingly brought the volumes asked for
and placed them on a table in an alcOve,
shutting the gate after him. AS soon as
the man left he found that one OF the books
was missing, and sent one of the employees
OF the library TO notify the police TO place
the alleged thief under arrest.
Mr. George f. Curtis. law librarian,
gave most damaging testimony against
Lloyd. He asserted that books worth rs
much rs $500 had been purloined. He hal
suspected the prisoner. but for months coulG
prove nothing against him. He requested
the court to protect the library, which had
los1 books that could never be replIced.
The prisoner made no defense and was
not represented by counsel.
In answer to an inquiry from the bench
he said that he was formerly lawyer, and
at one time held position in the library.
HeSost this place. Whether it was through
his incorporate habits or not he did not
say.
why did you take these books?'' Judge
Kimball queried.
Il lost my place, your honor, and was
starving was the rejoinder.
How long ago did this begin?''
Il don't exactly remember the time +"
He furthermore related how he hal sold
the pilfered property to local book dealers
He had more at home. AS the defcndanta at
tempted no defense sentence was at once
pronounced, and Lloyd was given eleven
months and twenty-nine days II jail

A PLAN OF ROOSEVELT.
Thinking of AnaIgamating the Line
and Engineer Corps.

If after long and careful study of all
conditions Acting Secretary Roosevelt be
leyes that an amalgamation OF the line
and engineer corps can be effected with
benefit TO the Navy he viii in the near
future make an application to Congress
fer power to create the change,
Mr.. Roosevelt said yesterday that his
plan was in very crude shape, so crude
that he declined to discuss it, although he
said that he had the subject under con-
sidera ton. From another source it was
ascertained that TIE plan to be consid-
cred by Mr. Roosevelt contemplates the
dissolution of the engineer corps as il
exists today and the education of cadets
at the Naval Academy in the future in
such way as to enable them upon grad
uation to perform the duties of n navi-
gator as we'll as these of an engineer.
a short time ago Prof Ira N Hollis, of
Harvard College, formerly an engineer,
wrote Secretary Long on the subject. He
suggested proposition for the reorganiZa
ton of the service, which the Secretary
thought embodied some excellent ideas.
Secretary Long submitted the commu
nication 10 the Assistant Secretary, with
request that Mr. Roosevelt obtain some
suggestions and opinions from the more
important officers in the Navy. Mr.. Roose-
velt, in his business like way, acted at once
and requested the views of number, among
whom were Capt. r. D. Evans Capt. P.
Fl. Cooper and Commander F. E, Chad
wick, and also Engineer in-chief Melville
and Lieut. -Commandef Wainwright. 1t

General orders, No. 8, current series,

for the purpose of excluding all persons
except those who have a right TO visit

1t is believed that governors of States,

tions for these works, ft may be in.

edge Of the subject when questions in

cordngly the said General orders, No. o
viii he amended so as to authorize visits
of governors of States. Senators and Rep
resentatiycs, upon application TO the Sec
retaiy OF War for the necessary per1nis-
sion.

States, without the written authority q

Neither written nor pictorial descrip-
tions OF these works will be made for

Secretary of War, nor viii any inforina-
Uion be given concerning them which is
not contained in the printed reports and
