The Grave Charge Which Confronts
Livingstone Heinline.
ROBBED His SISTER OF DIAMONDS
The Precious Stones Taken From
Her Engagement Ring.
ANOTHER ARREST FOLLOWS

Grand larceny is the charge against
who was arrested this morning by Detec-
tfves Parham and Gallaher, and locked up
at the first precinct station. The young
man admits having taken two diamonds
worth 1928, belonging TO Miss Nellie Helm
line, his sister. Had there been nothing in
VOWED other than the mere taking of the
jewels, the sister would have forgiven him,
she said, but for certain reasons she shows
no signs of forgiveness and was apparently
relieved when she learned that the detec-
tlves had taken her brother into custody
She alleges unwarranted interference with
her property, and incidentally with her love
affairs. 1t is said his conduct resulted in
severing the troth between the sister and
her prospective husband
Miss Heinline, it is understood was en-
gagged to be married to a resident of Chica-
go, receiving her engagement ring some
tlme ago. She did not wear the ring at all
times, and when it was not on her finger ii
was kept in bureau drawer with another
ring rot quite so valuable, at her home No
'Io North Carolina avenue A few days
ago, When she got ready to go to social
Satherlng, she wore her rings and it de-
Neloped that instead of genuine diamonds
the settings were of the penny popcorn
bag variety. She had had the ring long

thought, but how the setting could ever
nave been changed without her knowledge
she could not understand. Subsequent in
Eestigation. it is said, showed that her
orother had perpetrated the cruel fraud on
her. -'' 'ii
A Caustic Letter.
When this was discovered it was too late
10 save her painful explanation, and per-
maps the loss of her lover She had adj
dressed him a note on the subject of the
sol1dity of paste diamonds and what else
She put in the letter probably no one other
than the young man and herself will eyer
know. "
Young Heinline was very much surprised
When he learned of the action his sister
had taken against him, but he made no
objection to going with the officers He is
nineteen years old and is a son of the late
eX-Pol1ceman Heinlne. He was a member
of the 1st Regiment District of Columbia
volunteers. Since his return from Cuba
he has had no employment. When arrest
ed he talked freely of his offense admit
tlng his guilt and expressing a willingness
to take the punishment that might be
given him.
Another Arrest.
An hour after he had been locked up at
the first precinct the detectives arres, ed
another young man on a charge of receiv-
ing the diamond taken from Miss Helm
lines engagement ring. His name was
given as Samuel NJ. Marks. He is young
married man, and lives at No. 80 D street
northeast. Heinline pawned the diamond
worth $75. for $50, and sold Marks the
ticket for 81. The latter then redeemed the
stone, and when the detectives recovered
the jewel it had been set in a pin. Marks
was sent to the sixth precinct station, to
be held until he gives bond.

A CHANGE MADE.
transfers From AnacOstia Line to
Metropolitan Cars.

A change was made this morning I'm the
operation of two of the Anacostia street
railroads. The horse car continuation of
the Capital Railway Company. running
from the electric line at Anaeostia to the
navy yard gate. where transfers were given
to the Capital Traction Company, were
withdrawn, and the horse cars of the old
Anacostia road began making trips to
Maryland avenue and Az street southwest,
and issuing transfers to the Metropolitan
Railroad Company at that point
Inc Anacostia cars have previously been
making trips from Anacostia to 18th street
and Florida avenue northwest running
partly over the Belt line tracks No one
seemed able this morning to give any rea-
son Tor the change put in effect on the An
acostia line. AS is well known, however,
both the Metropolitan and Anacostia roads
are now owned by the street railway syn
dictate, and it is pointed out the change
means that the syndicate's roads will now
have passenger traffic distributed among
them without sharing with the Capital
Traction Company, as was formerly the
case.
The change was not welcomed in Ana
costa, and when 1t was learned this morn
ing from notice posted at the Anacostia
office what was being done there were
many expressions of indignation. 1t was
said the service to the navy yard had been
the best given in years.
The long ride now in the slow horse cars
to the point where transfers are issued to
the Metropolitan line is what the people of
Anacostia are objecting to, and there was
talk this morning to the effect that a meet
ing will be called TO discuss the matter 1t
is said that, under the new arrangement,
about six cars will be taken off the Ana
costa line. 1t is further stated that some
thirty men will be thrown on the extra list,
awaiting their turn to run the seven cars
placed in operation this morning.

be made by Rev. J. ]. Muir. pastor of the
E Street Baptist Church; Rev. w. S. o.
Thomas, the pastor of the church, and

The edifice, which was designed by Frank

THE condition of the Ell Paso schools,
as described by the superintendent, is
most promising. Financially the
schools are in better condition than
they have been for some time. How
ever. it appears that there is no room
reserved for expansion, but that the
school houses are already filed to
their capacity. A prominent member
of the school board said last night
that If there were accommodations for
twice the mum Der of Mexicans now at
tending the Aoy school enough Mex
leans would readily be found to fill
the vacant places. 1t is a shame that
any children should go without
schooling in this community because
of lack of accommodations.

WAR has begun, according t.

WAR has begun, according to
one report, and now there 10 to
be fierce struggle between the Beers
and their British cousins. Contrary to
common belief the Beers are more
closely related to the British than they
are to the Germans. This being true
there will be something of the ferocity
of civil war in this conflict. The Beers
are splendidly armed and we'll organ
fighting upon their own ground
with their base of supplies
well covered and with unlimited money
resources. However, it Is quite true
that England with her fleet can COM
pletely cut off supplies from the out
side. The fate of the little republic Is
certain but 1t will cost England a vast
amount of money and fearful loss of
life before the war can be ended. The
town of Dundee, which is reported to
have been taken by the Beers with
heavy loss to the British. is just over
the boundary of the South African Re-
public, in Natal. 1t ia on a main line
of railroad, connecting johannesburg
with Pietermaritzburg, and the sea-
port of the latter town, Durham, on the
Indian Ocean. It is less than one
hundred and fifty miles by rail from
to the sea. The control of this |
line of communica alton even for short |
time would be of immeasurable value |
to the Transvsal. The progress of the |
struggle will be closely watched |
,the world.
