Full of Valuables, They Make
No Haul.

Graham Hobson, member OF the
BOARD of Aldermen, reported to the
police yesterday morning that his home
at IL North Jefferson Street had been
entered and ransacked by burglars at
some time during the last few nights
The loss was comparatively small. the
burglars taking only q child's savings

money. and a cheap pistol.
Detectives visited the house ysster-
day and found that the burglars had
made themselves at home. The noors
Were covered with dead matches. show
ing that the gas jets had been lit all
over the house and chests of drawers
were found to have been opened and
searched. Though there was much
other valuable property which could
easily have been carried away. nothing
else was removed. The savings bank
stolen had been placed side by side
with another. Yet the other bank was
left, only the one being taken.
Perhaps they felt sorry for the lit
tie ones" detective remarked, whim-
sicaily. Elise why shouldn't they have
taken both, especially as they had so

CHARGE HARTMAN
DELAYS REPORTS
Assessor OF Damages. Required
to Attend All Meetings OF
Street Committee.

Several members of the Committee
on streets last night made complaint
against Assessor of Damages a. C.
Hartman, who. it was said, had made
no reports since his election to the
office. though he has collected half of
one years salary. The question was
brought up when a member of the
committee asked for tho papers re-
Garding improvements on Beverly
Street. He understood that Mr. Har-
mans report was delayed on account
OF the lack of information from the
office of the City Engineer. Mr.. Boil
Ing stated, however, that all necessary
data had been furnished, and that so
FAR as his office was concerned there
was no cause for delay. In spite of
some opposition resolution was
passed requiring that Mr.. Hartman
be present al every future meeting Of
the committee.
Councilman Lynch called the atten-
ton of the committee to the fact that
certain streets of the city along which
the tracks of the Virginia Railway and
Power Company run are not being
sprinkled according to the provision
OF the ordinance. The matter. he
said, was one that should be attended
TO by the police department rather
than the Committee on Streets The
City Engineer was instructed to write
letter to Chief of Police Werner
requesting him to see that the ordi-
nance was carried out
Citizens of the West End presented
to the committee n proposition made by
w. s. Forbes. who owns the property
at the end of Monument Avenue. Mr.
Forbes agrees to give the city the
right of way through his property for
the extension OF the avenue for SIS
900. the space being i4o feet wide and
l,500 feet long.
According to him. the property is
worth from $4,000 to 100000. In
purchasing the land Mr.. Forbes con-
templated erecting residence. but
leaves the OFFER open TO the city. If
II is not taken up he will carry out
his plans. Members of the committee
were in favor of looking into the
proposition. and a committee consist
ing of Messrs. Ferguson. Gunst, Had
don. sullivan and Kahn. together with
the City Engineer and the City Attor-
ney, was appointed 10 make a report.
The Stable Committee reported on
schedule OF hours for employees Of tho
street Department which was accept
cd by the committee. Hereafter mem
bers OF the force will report at the
stables at 6 o'clock a. NJ. and be on
the job at Z o'clock. They get one
hour Mt noon for lunch and stop work
at 1870 In the afternoon. These hours
do not apply to the drivers, who have
to take care of their duties at the
stables after the regular workers are
discharged for the day. On Saturdays
the entire force ceases work at 1
o'clock without having the week day
hour for lunch.
On account OF the difficulty in OBJ
tanning brick in this city. and the fact
that all OF the local contractors have
ms much or more work than they can
do in the regular time limit Mr.. Boil
inG recommended that bids for work
be advertised in out-oftown papers so
as to facilitate the work of the de-
partment.

Is Forthcoming.

Colonel w. II. Chapman, agent for
the Second Virginia District. United
states Internal Revenue Department,
with headquarters in Richmond, was
in Washington yesterday supposedly
In conference with Commissioner Royal
Z. Cabell with regard to(his rumored
removal to Baltimore. Friends OF Col
onel Chapman and those in the local
branch OF the service have been very
much aroused by tho persistency of
the report. and the matter has been
given SO much publicity and promi-
nence that Colonel Chapman. 1t is un-
derstood. determined to consult the
departments chief and have the mat
ter settled. What the result Of yes
terday's conference Will be is a matter
OF speculation.
Commissioner Cabell denieu any in
formation to the Washington CORE
spondent of The Times Dispatch. from
whom the following telegram was re-
ceivcd last night:
Although he declared day or two
ago that in his opinion the liquor peo-
pie were not interested in the reported
transfer OF Colonel Chapman from
Richmond to another field OF duty. and
that II they were after any one It
was w. W. Anderson. special agent,
'he matter is eVldently being coASid-
ered by Commissioner Cabell.
CnbcIl Won't Talk.
To-day Colonel Chapman came to
Washington. but his visit was guarded
with the greatest secrecy. Whatever
may be the reason for his visit to
Washington. no one will find out from
Mr.. Cabell. When Mr.. Cabell was seen
by The Times-Dispatch correspondent
and asked for information bearing on
the matter. he was as ,.umb as
clam. and positively declined 10 dis
cuss the question in any of its phases
mir. Cabell was asked again II he
contemplated tho removal of Colonel
Chapman because of the alleged inau-
ence that the liquor people were bring
ing 10 bear to have him transferred to
another post. To this the commission
er said that he would give no infor-
nation whatever. Asked II he would
say where Colonel Chapman might be
found in Washington. in order that
The Times-Dispatch correspondent
might see him. the commissioner
again politely eidestepped and begged
to be excused from a further discus
sion OF the case. Mr. Cabelrs refusal
to talk about the case or TO say where
Colonel Chapman might be found leads
TO the belief that a transfer OF the
latter may be determined upon"

Articles Of incorporation for the Cooperative Burial and Industrial Association, new Pine Bluff con- cern, were filed in the office of the county clerk here yesterday and the company will establish an office here within the next few days.

 The company was organized for the mutual benefit of it's members. The object of the company is to pro- vide benevolent and cooperative as- sistance among it's members and their families in cases of sickness, accidental injuries or provide burial of members or ereficiaries.
 The members of the new company are all we'll known business men of this city. They are fair and honest in all their dealings and will doubt less make success of the new con- Dany
