FIRST REGIMENT
Will GET ARM0RY
City to Purchase Property
With View to Erecting
Building.
OLD STRUCTURE CONDEMNED
Local Battalion Has Been Forced
to Use Streets for Many
Months.

Practically committing the city to
the erection of new armory for the
First Virginia Regiment. the Council
Committee on Finance last night rec
commended the transfer of a fund of
$50, 900 now set apart for repairs to the
old building to tho acquisition of the
three adjoining houses on Marshall
Street. with a view of charging the
site and opening the way to an appro-
priauon In next years budget for a
new and modern armory building. The
Grounds and Buildings Committee, at
the request OF Major Lawrence T.
Price. has asked s1e5,0oo for the new
building
The present armory was erected in
1881. Eighteen months ago Building
Inspector Beck reported that the old
wooden. truss roof was sasging. and
might give way. and the south wall
has shown serious signs OF weakness.
For months, therefore. the big bat
TALON drill hall has not been used.
The company rooms have been used
for storage only. and the soldier boys
have drilled in the streets Major
Price represented tina, a serious crisis
had come in the history of the bat
talton-either an armory must be pro-
Vided or the command would disiDte-
crate. Enlistments are already be-
ScH4iHS utHSuil " SeCuEe, ana several
OF the companies have barely the mimi
mum enlistment to secure their con-
tinuance
Totally Inadequate.
Major Price said that aside from the
defects in the building and its dan
gerous condition, 1t was not suitably
arranged, the company rooms being
dark and Ill ventilated. while the drill
hall is not large enough for a full bat
talon formation. The budget this year
contained an Item of $4,000 to put a
new roof on the old building and make
other repairs That amount has not
been expended. Major Price and those
associated with him decided that it
was throwing money away, and last
night the Finance Committee recon-
mended that this fund be utilized in
condemnation of the three adjoining
lots on Marshall Street thus giving
an ample site for new armory when
the funds are provided. The owners
of the property are said to have quoted
II to the city at s22,50o, but 1t is be-
l1eved that condemnation commission
ers will fix a lower price, and that
some thing will be realized from the
sale of the houses for removal
James n. Boyd, of the rirst Recl-
ment Association. stated that IL only
a small amount stood between the city
and a new armory. members OF the
association would endeavor to raise
as much as $1,000. or possibly more.

The detectives found out, they say
that Burruss was the clearing house

ored in their trips from one house to

advanced them money on whatever
THEY brought In without asking any
questions. The warrant charges him

night in the sum OF $1,000. The boys
are still in tho First Police Station

After the arrest OF the boys. the de-
tectives went after Burruss, who said
that he knew nothing. Many ques-
tons, however. elected from him the
fact that he had bought watches from
Smith at s. each. along with other
valuable property in the way of jew
elry. When searched at headquarters
Burruss had nearly s92 on his person
and some goods suspected to have been
stolen by the boys.
So far the police have recovered a
watch belonging to Miss Zelle Minor,
SoS East Grace Street; one stolen some
time ago from Professor Frank Cosby
and several articles of value from F..
A. Meyers. 71o East Franklin sA-eet.

russ the detectives searched his living
quarters and also the drug store in
when ne was employed. but found

THE WEEVIL is COMING
soon TO GEORGIA
Experts Say Pest Will Get
Here Next Year

Macon, Ga, March 10.-That the boil

at a point near Albany by at least
October 1, 1912, is the opinion Of
Frank A. OIds, secretary of the cham
who has just completed a 10000 miles
investigation tour through the South
Der of commerce of Raleigh, n. c.,
and Southwest in the interest of the
Manufacturers Record.
/ His trip carried him through tho
Northern part Of Mexico, through the
arid boil weevil districts of Texas
and through Louisiana and Mississippi
where the pests by their ravages have
devasted so much fine cotton land
Mr. Odds, while in Texas, and also
while in Louisiana, made experiments
with the weevil, such as subjecting tbs
insect to heat and cold and water, and
he finds that it is affected only D5
! the latter, and by it only slightly. He
says that the vanguard of the boil wee.
vii army has already reached Alabama
and is advancing in fan-shaped area
proceeding toward Southern and Cen
trail Georgia
Secretary Odds tour was made for
the express purpose of aScertainin2
just what the cotton growers of the
South Atlantic states may apprehend
from the boil weevil and the above
are the conclusions reached by him as
result of his investigations.
