FOUND THE NEGRO
nd STOLEN GOODS
Detectives Arrest Robert Phillips
on Charge of Breaking Into
Store of H. Schwartz.

The store of Herman Schwartz No.
905 Byrd Street. dealer in groceries and
liquors, was burglarized last Sunday
night the robbers getting a goodly sup
ply OF whiskey and tobacco. and yester-
day afternoon Detectives Wren and
Gibson, of department. headquarters. ar
rested Robert Phillips and Ten CashLlE-
ton. Both parties are colorsI. 1t is
stated the former has made q confession.
in which he duplicates the latter as hav-
ing been principal TO the housebreaNins.
while he was only an accessory.
An entrance to the store was effected
some tirse after midnight, IT the
rear doors being forced open. After
helping himself to everything. in sight
the burglar departed. taking care to close
the door tightly. On this account the
robbery was not discovered unit Schwartz
opened UP for business yesterday mtTn-
ing.
Immediately upon learning Of the burg
larry the storekeeper made a report OF
the affair TO the office of the Police Chief.
and Detectives Gibson and Wren were
assigned to the case. They went to work
at once. and it was only short time be-
fore they had facts pointing to the guilt
of Robert Phillips in their possession.
Yesterday afternoon about 1 o clock the
officers located Phillips in room IN a
dwelling on the Canal bank, in the rear
of Seventh Street. In some way the ne
gro became aware of the presence OF
the plain clothes men. He locked the
room door, intending TO effect an escape
through a window.
However. Phillips reckoned wrong, for
Detective Gibson was at the only Win
dow. while his partner was opening the
room door with key he had secured
about the place. When ne finally gained
an entrance into the room Phillips was
trembling like leaf and making tu-
tile effort to conceal a pint bottle of
whiskey, which had evidently been
stolen.
In the room a large supply OF tobacco.
whiskey and cheroots were found. and
all of it is said to have been taken from
the Schwartz store last night. In the
face OF such Overwhelming evidence
Phillips admitted his guilt but placed
the burden of the robbery on the shoul-
ders of Darlington. who was later ar
rested.
The police do not believe Darlington
had anything TIC. do with the case. and
he may be turned out some time to-day.
It is their idea that Phillips IS simply at
tempting to make 4 scapeSoat out OF the
other negro
The detective officers are receiving the
congratulate ions of fellow members OF the
force fcr the speedy manner in which
they arrested the party guilty OF the
robbery and recovered a greater part OF
the stolen goods

DON'T LIKE PARIS GREEN
State Chemist Taylor Thinks Its Use on
Tobacco DANGEROUS.

Tobacco Dangerous.
State Chemist and City Coroner Taylor
has recently been studying the question
Of using Paris green on tobacco plants
to kill worms. He of course, is looking
at it from the scientists point OF view.
DR.. Taylor says that unquestionably
the practice is dangerous, and is going to
hurt the sale of tobacco wherever 1t can
be shown that a farmer has used the
preparation for killing worms. He thinks
that it will be taken into the plant and
will affect it. Paris green is full of ar
senic, and this drug will get into the
plant, and with every chew or smoke the
consumer will be loading his system with
one of the most dangerous of all poisons.
And, then, who's going to buy tobacco
which has it's reputation spoiled by as
ISOLATION with arsenic?
DR.. TAYLOR refers to the case of the
beer in England in some way becoming
affected with arsenic. The people found
it out. and at once let beer made in Eng
land severely alone. The same thing will
happen to Virginia tobacco. he thinks, il
Paris green is used as a worm destroyer.

It is known that Mr.. Braxton has been

a strong hope which borders close on to

This plot Is powerful one and
deals with the adventures OF a

the ruin of a happy family and the
separation of wife from her hus-
Dand and children, in order that
she can contract a marriage with
the husband and thereby gain his
fortune. She Is prevented from
doing this, however. by the timely
interference of two characters,
namely a Frenchman and an Irish
servant woman, who, in their re

Little Lille Rosewood will inter
pref the different roles and the
scenic effects are said to be most
