the BAREFOOT" BURGLAR IN
NORFOLK.

Although Newport News and Hamp-
ton have received considerable atten'
zion from the barefoot burglar dur
ing the past two years. the lower Pen
insula by no means has been the only
scene Of this mysterious prowler'
operations. In fact. the burglar prob
ably has visited more houses In and
around Norfolk than he has ON this
sideNof Hampton Roads. He was IN
Newport News last Wednesday morn
ing and was traced from j. w. Gun
ter's home to the Chesapeake & Ohio
passenger station by the police de-
partment's bloodhound 1t was sup
posed that the fugitive probably
boarded the early train FOR Richmond.
hut II he did he lost no time In head
ing back this way again. for he was
in Norfolk Sunday night. Yester-
days Landmark said:
"The home OF Mr. and Mrs, F. l.
: Barlow. on the Cox farm. near Port
Etheridge. in that village, were en-
tered by burglars on Sunday night. Al
the Barlow house the entire down
stairs seemed to have been ransacked
Tor money. but nothing was taken but
silver cigar case. which was drop
bed in the yard. The burnt ends OF
cigarettes were found scattered
around, Indicating that a vast deal oil
smoking was done in the coarse OF
the burglars operations and the
smoke Gould still be smelled when the
occupants OF the house aweke in the
morning.
1T is thought that the burglar be.
came alarmed after he had forced an
entrance 10 the Office wing OF DIR
Etheridge's home and left without
taking anything"
II the barefoot man had left. a
letter OF explanation behind it would
not have been more evident that he
was the intruder at the Port Norfolk
homes. The ransacking Of the Bar
low house for money, the fact that
nothing was taken when no money
was found. the throwing away OF 3
SILVER cigar case and. finally. the
cigarette butts are unmistakabls
characteristics CT the queer individual
who has ben heard from so often In
this neighborhocd.
Although the police departments Of
10th Norfolk and this city have usee
about every conceivable method h
their efforts to capture this burglar
after all II probably will be more Of
less accidental when he finally Il
landed behind the bars. Almost al

rosing II his swse. No trace OF an,

OF in Norfolk by this man ever ha.
been found.

VEGETABLES AND
BUTTER BOOSTED
WITH MILK RAISE

Following the advance in the price
of milk from eight to nine cents a
quart, butter that sold at 80 cents a
pound was today listed by grocers in
the Centre Market at SO cents.
The retail price of milk has been ad-
vanced because of the scarcity of milk
and the higher price the wholesalers
have to pay to farmers, owing to the
long spell of very hot weather. the
grass In pastures being dried up and
the cows are yielding only half their
usual quantity of milk. Several whole
sale dealers have advanced the price
to retailers and others said today that
they will have to do 1t also
: Butter was advanced in price from
two to four cents a pound. Because OF
the hot weather fresh vegetables are
getting scarce and prices have ad-
vanced a little Bakers have decided
to sell only ten-cent loaves of bread.
This will be hard on poor people who
have bought five-cent loaves for years
UNLESS we have heavy rains soon
said grocer. 81 fear that the price
of milk and butter will 60 higher. Milk
is very scarce and this causes the in
crease IN the price of butter. The
weather and the trusts which control
nearly all food products now are max
ing 1t hard for poor men who have
large families"

Writer, to Run for Congress
Again This Fall.

eoineiaent aiffas the statement Of
Woodrow Wilson announcing his will
ingness 10 accept the Democratic

Club makes a formal plea to the
voters of the Seventh congressional

The appeal. which is dated July Is.

made his formal announcement, refers
to the excellent run made by ''Chimmie
Fadden." as MIR, Townsend is best
known as a writer. against Congress-
man r. Wayne Parker two years ago,
and predicts his election on this occa-
sion. This is the appeal:
Dear Sir-We desire to enlist your
interest in favor of the candidacy of
Edward W Townsend for the nominal
tion for merlper of Congress from the
Seventh Congressional District. Two
years ago, in a presidential year, Mr..
Townsend led a hopeless fight and cut
off his opponents normal majority
more than 5000 votes.
''Mr. Townsend's qualifications for
the office are recognized and acknov-l-
edged by every Democrat in the district.
He has worked for lhis living With his
hands and his head. He knows his
country Our party representation in
Congress will be measure bly, improved
in character If we send a man of his
type from the Seventh New Jersey
District
He is experienced in politics. He
has written and published. besides the
delightful stories that show his SYM
pathies with all sorts and conditions
Of men. a serious historical study Of
the Constitution of the United States.

petent critics His Democracy Is of
the kind that never falters. He is NOT
a Democrat one year and something
else another. He has faith in the judg-
ment of the people.
I'VE hope his nomination will be
unanimous in the convention. A COM
mittee consisting of Harold NJ Ander-
son. Richard w Barl1ley. Peter ].
Carey, Edward A. McDermott and
Otto c. Wierum. jr.. has been appoint
ed for the purpose of advancing Mr..

rest Gillespie telephoned his wife that
he would be over the following day
and told her to be prepared to go away
with him; that he had secured fine
position. He was caught as he vas
coming out of saloon In Plane street
That night his wife waited on the
veranda of her State street home.
When she heard of his arrest she said
she would never have anything more
to do with him; that he had broken
all his promises of reform.
When Gillespie was arraigned in this
city his lawyer made a successful fight
to have him tried in Camden. where he
was wanted for forgery. return to
New York might mean a life sentence,
as on two other occasions he had been
convicted and. under the laws Of New
York State. a third conviction meant
a life sentence Gillespie took calmly
his sentence of seven years. He Is said
TO have declared that he much pre-
ferred seven years in Trenton than the
possibility of a life sentence in New
York.
Immediately following the escape the
news was sent to the police of all large
cities From what can be learned Gil
iespie had been planning the getaway
for some time and is believed to have
received aid from the outside.

ing, Says Rumor.

special story In the Chicago Tribune
today, under washington date line.
Secretary Richard A. Ballinger will be

Joint con gressional committee which for
1--WE months has been making an ex-
haustive investigation of the conduct
of affairs of the department of the In
terior and of the bureau of forestry OF
the department of agriculture.
The investigators who concur in the
majority report. which carries a con-
demnation of the course of former Chief
Forester Pinchot, j. R Garfield and
Louis R. CLAWS, according to the Tr-
bune story, are Senators Nelson. Flint.
Sutherland and Root, and Representa-
tives Mccall. Denby and OImstead. 1t

will be filed declaring Secretary Balm
ger guilty of the charges made against
him, to which the signatures of Sena-

sentatives Madison, James and Graham
will be attached.

port was drafted by Senator Nelson
and that of the minority by Represent
ative James. and that In addition Rep
resentatives Madison has written his

that Secretary Ballinger acted within

ment with respect to the Cunning

and that he was justified In his criti-
cism of the reclamation service, and
in his abandonment of the policy of

f1ict in almost every particular with
the majority report.
