The guard room at police headquar.

for dogs. A handsome collie followed
four women down street last evening.
and as they "just couldn't take time
to take him back home" they brought
him into police headquarters and
asked that he be taken home by q

she might miss "a couple of hands of

The dog remained in the quarters

FINE SHOWING FOR
THE ATLANTIC

Fine progress was made during the
year Just ended by the South-Atlantic
Life Insurance Company, whose home
office is in the Mutual Building. and
which Is in every way a Southern in
stitution.
Especially is this true of the last half
of the year. when business was push
ed and new and active efforts We're
made by the management for good re-
suits. The percentage of new business
issued during the latter period over the
former was 1853. and premium Increases
$50 per cent. The increase in expenses
was only IL per cent. The insurance
gained eos per cent, and renewal pre-
miums % per cent. The amount paid
for policies allowed to lapse and sur
rendered decreased So per cent.
The company is now planting new
and strong agencies in many of the
South-Atlantic states. Two well-train-
ed life agency men have been at work
in the South for several months estab-
ishing new agencies, and the company
announces that 1t has good openings
for a few live agents.
The outlook for 1907 is very bright
for the home company, II based upon
the strong pun up" made since last
June, those In charge feel confident
that the increase In business will be
even more fiattering during the new
wear.

literature. dreams of deriving his work
because of this fact. The alchemy of
his Incompatible genius turned avery.

his raw material Is lost sight of. So.
too, the religious genius OF the Jewish

that wonderful instrument for It's faith,
It's hope and its law. which 1t has found

TELLS WHY PLAN
WAS ABANDONED
Mr.. Whitehead Explains James
town Building Matter to the
Chamber of Commerce.
CAN GET SPACE ELSEWHERE

Hon. John Whitehead. of Norfolk. COM
missioner OF the jamestown EXPOSITION.
addressed at the Chamber OF Commerce
yesterday afternoon a meeting OF gentle
men Interested in the exhibit of Rich
mond manufactures at the exposition,
and offered an explanation of the aban-
donment OF the plan to provide a special
Virginia manufactures building, as con-
templated. The meeting was rather
poorly attended, there being only eight
or ten gentlemen present. Mr.. e. C.
Laird, president of the Southern Manu-
featuring Company, presided.
The demand for space, Mr.. White said,
was great, n the exposition officials
found that no other space would be left
for a Virginia manufacturers building
unless one We're erected at once. Under
these conditions 1t was deemed best to
provide for the transfer of the Virginia
manufacturers exhibits. which had ap-
piled for space to the building In which
they would be properly classified and
shown After all the Virginia manufact-
urers who had applied for space In Vir-
ginia building are provided for In the
general manufacturers builders, there Is
Still left therein about 1900 square feet
of space. which the manufacturers of
Richmond may secure 4 they desire. The
exposition company has stopped consid-
ering applications for space In this build
ing from outside manufacturers until
every Virginia manufacturer who desires
to preempt space can secure the oppor-
tunity to do so. It is understood, Of
course. that this space can not be held
for them indefinitely.

ACCOUNTANTS To
STAND BY REPORT
(Cont!nued from First Page.)

School Board, said last night that he fully
endorsed the report of Boudar e. Co.
When shown the report in the afternoon
papers of Mr.. Hechler's statement, which:
Is given above. he expressed the fullest
confidence in the accountants, and in the
faithfulness and accuracy of their report.
The books of the county are so badly
kept says Mr.. Bryan, that 1t Is i'm
possible to know where the State money
is. State money is used 10 pay county
taxes and vice versa, and the school
funds are not kept separate"
Supervisors Involved.
Mr.. Hechler is quoted as saying that
"All I have has been with the knowledge
of the board of supervisors The mem
bers of the board could not be reached
last night. The present board consists
of Messrs. Frayser (chairman). Saunders,
Browning and Barnes.
If the charges of the grand jury are
made good when the case comes TO t'la!,
and Mr.. Hechler car s~ubstantiate this
statement. it is possible that there may
be further developments.
The talk about the courthouse Is all
statement, it is possible that there may
ton in Henrico next summer, and several
candidates for the position of treasurer
are already In the field. A friend of
Mr.. Hechler's remarked yesterday that
If the followers of any other candidate
were assisting In pushing this investiga-
ton, they might find it to prove a
boomerang which would kill the chances
of their own candidate by vindicating
Mr.. Hechler.
Some interest has been expressed in
regard to the nature of the proceedings
before Judge Scott. Section s2l of the
Code of Virginia provides for trial of
cases of malfeasance or misfeasance IN
office to the effect that elective officers
have a right to trial by jury, the infer
ence being hat appointed officers may
be emoved by the court appointing them.
Mr.. Hechler was appointed to fill the
%unexpired term of the late Mr.. Todd. and
some doubt has been expressed as to
whether his office would, IN the meaning
of the statute. be an elective Office.
Mr.. O'Flaherty. of counsel for Mr..
Hechler, said Yesterday that they had not
Yet decided whether they would ask q
jury hearing or not.
cit Is a matter of general knowledge that
the practice of advancing taxes under
certain conditions, which practice has
been positively denied by Mr.. Hechler,
has been a mattertof general observance
in many of the counties Of the State. So
great was the abuse In this matter, how
ever. that q member of the Constitutional
Convention stated that methods of pre-
venting the custom had been discussed
for two days on the floor of the ccnven-
ton. 1t was as aAresult of this practice
that the constitutional provision was
made that a county treasurer could serve
but two successive terms.
