The theft of pearl necklace, valu-
ed at $625,000 has been reported to
the Scotland Yard, London, authori-
ties. The pearls are alleged to have
been stolen during transit by post
from Paris to dealer in London.
The robbery was discovered in Lon

package in which the necklace had
been dispatched was opened. The case
contained only pieces of sugar. As
the sugar was of French manufacture,
the necklace was probably distracted
in France.

Richmond, Va, July 17-Reorg-.
anization of the regimental forma.
tons of the state infantry, in orde,
to meet requirements of the United
States military authorities. 1t is
stated that neither the First Batal-
lion, First Virginia Regiment, known
as the Richmond Grays, or the indie
pendent battalion known as the Rich
mond Blues, will be affected by the
changes.
The Secretary of War has recently
called attention toi the requirements
of the Dick bill, which regulates gov
ernment aid to state militia, in which
regiments are required to have twelve
companies each. The First Virginia
Regiment, under command of Colonel
w. ]. Perry, of Staunton, and of which
the Richmond Grays, under Maj. L. T.
Price, composes the first battalion,
meets this requirement, having twelve
organized companies.The second reg
iment commanded by Col. r. F. Leedy,
has but nine companies. There is no
Third Regiment. The Fourth Regi--
ment commanded by Colonel Goodwin,
of Emporia, has but ten companies.
The Richmond Light Infantry Blues,
composed of four companies, COM
manded by Maj. E. W. Bowles, con.
astitutes an Independent command.
In order to bring the Second and
Fourth Regiments up to the Govern
ment requirements, it will be neces-
sary to organize five new companies.
The old company in Harrisonburg will
probably be reorganized. and steps
will be taken to organize four adidi-
tional companies in other places. One
sugge stion was that the companies be
reassigned to regiments, the Rich
mond Grays to continue as the First
Battalion, and the Richmond Blues to
form the second, the two local battal-
ions, with four nearby companies, to
compose the First Regiment, with
regimental headquarters and. band To-
Gated in Richmond. This plan has
several times: before: been suggested
but has been found to be not alto
gether feasible, and is not IN ac-
cordance with the wishes of the Off
GERS and men forming the local COM
mands, who prefer that each main
tain its separate identity. No for
NAL orders have been issued in regard
10 the reorganization as yet, but Ad-
infant General w. w. Sale and Bri-
gasidier General c. c. Vaughan, Jr.,
commanding the First Brigade Vir-
einia Volunteers, have been in CORES
pondence with War Department Off
cials in regard to the matter. 1t is
probable that without interfering in
any way with the First Regiment,
that Colonel Leedy and Colonel
Goodwin will take steps shortly to
bring their commands up to the mil
itary requirements of twelve COM
panies EACH. thus assuring the United
States government allowance for uni
forms and other equipment and ex-
penses.
