BURGLARS At WORK. II
Three Residences in Raleigh
Entered During Night.
Not Much Was Secured and Burglars Seem
Only to be After
Money.

Three burglaries in one night in Raj
eigh is the record.
These took place between midnight and
the early hours of the morning yesterday
and in each instance the robber or rob
bers only carried off the money that
could be found. and though many things
were scattered about nothing of any
value was missed except the money.
One of the places that was robbed was
the residence of Mr.. John Monte, corner
of Bloodworth and Jones street. 1t is
evident that entrance to the house was
gained by the dining room window
though marks about the door knob show
that there was an attempt to pick the
lock-
The thief took nothing but money, Sc
curing four or five dollars from the
pants pocket of Mr.. John Monte, Jr.
having entered his bed room. 1t is
thought by some that chloroform may
have been used In the dining room the
table silver was on the table, as Miss
Monte had entertained the Bachelor
Maids during the evening and the sill
yer had not been put away. This was
scattered about, as were other articles
but none were missing The loss was
not discovered till yesterday morning as
no one woke during the night.
Through a window to the dining room.
at the home of Rev. Alvin Belts. corner
of Morgan and Person streets, burglars
also entered during the same night
Every room in the house appears to have
been visited as many things were scat
tered about trunks opened. and a gen
eral examination of everything in sight
made.
But here again only money was taken,
this being from a purse on the bureau
Mr. Belts watch was there also, but it
was not taken. and a number of rings
which must have been seen were also
untouched. At Mr.. Belts no one awOkc
and no noise was heard.
The sthird robbery was near Mr. John
Monies, at the home of Mrs. Dick, who
resides on Jones street A window at
the back of the house furnished means
of access to the thief. who at this home
also seemed to want nothing except
money. and who is not supposed to have
taken anything else From Mrs. Dicks
a small iron bank, with few dollars in
it was taken, this being found yesterday
in the yard of the Raleigh Male Academy
where the thief had thrown 1t after get
ting out the money.
Besides these thefts from residences
number of chicken houses have also
ben robbd lately, and there is suspicion
that an experienced hand is at work in
the city. In the three robberies just re-
ported. though. the robbers entered tn
sleping room of the people, no one was
aroused, and this leads to the suspicion
that chloroform or some drug was used
The police are doing all they can to
locate the robbers who have left no
clue. 1t is wise. in view of these rob
berries, for all househoders to see that
their homes are protected at night

STATE NORMAL EVENT
Practice and Observation
Building Dedication.
February II the Date. Students Raise $40, zoo
For The Students Building
EunI

February II will be a day long to be
remembered at the State Normal and
Industrial College at Greensboro.
President McIver, who was here yes
terday stated that on that date the
handsome new Practice and Observation
School building would be formally dedi-
Gated.
There will be a gala occasion a that
time for President McIver has the as
surance that a number of distinguished
educators and orators will be present,
among these being Dr. J. l.. NJ. Curry Mr..
George Foster Peabody, President George
T. Winston and others.
The completion of this building marks
a greatstep forward in the life of the
school. for the home of the practice and
observation school has heretofore been in
frame buildings, but by the opening Of
this new home the pupils will be trans
ferred to quarters in a handsome brick
building erected as modern school
house.
In April President Elliot, of Harvard
College will visit the Normal College
and will deliver an address on either the
fourth or fifth, coming from Greensboro
TO Raleigh to speak at the A. & NJ Col
lege here.
President McIver is enthusiastic about
the coming commencement of the State
Normal. This will be on May %, 26 and
81, and it will be the Decennal celebra-
ton of the college, which was establish
ed Just ten years ago.
This will be made memorable by the
laying of the corner stone of the Stud
ents Building" so named because its
erection is guaranteed by fund of $10-
900 which comes from the students of the
institution. There will be banquet at
this time and MANY prominent speakers
will be present, in addition to large
numbers of the alumnae and former
students.
Another step forward for the college
spoken Of by President McIyer, is that
one years additional work has been pro-
vidcd for resident students. This en-
ables the college to give to its graduates
the bachelor degrees that are conferred

time the veteran waved his eye glasses
emphatically and reiterated his state
nGent.
The railroad is sort of mercurial
indication of the state of the country
tributary to it," he declared, IF the
country lis poor the railroad will be
poor A low rate is not the result of
competition. it merely shows how low a
rate the railroad can afford to give. DO
you suppose that a man in absolute
control of a railroad. having no COM
petition could raise rates to an unjust
degree and prosper? The minute he did
he would hamper the commerce on which
his road lived, and when ne did that you
would hear of road passing its divi-
dend. 1t is principle that road must
give the lowest rate it can. / always

Mr. Hill averred in answer to further
Interrogation in regard to tho effects Of
competition, that commercial war be-
tween roads really resulted i'll higher
tariffs.
'They cut each other to the heart,"
said he. land then patch up an agreee-
ment, whereby everything is higher than
ever The rebate system is part Of
competitive warfare. and you know the
rates the general shipper gets thereby.
He pays the freight which the large
shipper had lodged. Roads are boun
tc hustle for business and they will do
much to secure the patronage of a large
shipper"
Mr.. Hill was then asked if any asree-
ment had been made, express or other
wise respecting the division of traffic
or earnings, which involved the North
ern Pacific, the Great Northern or the
Burlington? He replied:
mo understanding directly or indi-
rectly.'
''Or with the Union Pacific system?"
he was asked.
"None whatever" he replied.

Burlington. and j. C. Stubs. Traffic
Manager of the Southern Pacific and

Waterbury Democrat., 1902-12-05

With regard to trust legislation, says
Washington correspondent, some SEN
ators say that there will be none. and
others, among them no less influential
a man than Senator Frye, president of
the senate, asserts that the Sherman
law will be amended in accordance with
the recommendations Of Attorney-Gen-
eral Knox. The policy of the republi-
cans, as outlined for the correspondent
by well posted democratic senator,
will be to pass such legislation as Mr.
Knox has requested and as the presi-
dent viii urge, at the same time assur-
ing the trusts that so long as they have
a republican administration they will
have nothing to fear from the attorney
general, but if they permit the demo-
Gratis to win there is no knowing to
what extent democratic attorney-gen-
eral will go in order to destroy the
trusts. In this way. says the senator
referred to, the republicans hope to
make. of the trust law a club with
which TO extort campaign funds from
the trusts in 1904.
