TO CALL MEETING
OF y. P. |. BOARD
Election of ]. D. Eggleston as DR..
Barringer's Successor Seems
Now Conceded.

Since the announcement several
days ago from high circles that SEN
timent in the board of visitors of the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute has
gradually swung to J. D. EggIeston.
the former State Superintendent of
Public Instruction, to succeed DR.. Paul
b. Barringcr as president OF the in
stttution, there has been q general ex-
pectation that meeting OF the board
would be called shortly. In fact, it
Is said that John Thompson Brown.
of Brierfield. chairman, Will issue n
call for the meeting on March 10. but
the day is fast approaching, and no
definite information 10 this effect has
been received in Richmond.
After the long struggle which has
divided the ranks of tho board and
pretty much the whole State. Mr.. De-
gleston's ardent supporters welcome
such u happy conclusion. There nc
tually seems no doubt that certain
members OF tho board, who have
fought the former Superintendent or
Public Instruction tooth and nail. have
come around to advocate his election.
and there is splendid prospect OF har,
mony when the next meeting is called.

gleston will not take the presidency
OF the Blaclssburg institute unless II

most cheering face, but back at the

address 10 him one last appeal but
she answered that she had not de-
cided what to do. She asked tho re-
porter eagerly whether or not he had
any personal intimation of what the
Governors answer would be.
The reporter told her what Tho
Times Dispatch printed OH Monday
that the Governor is almost sure To
deny tho appeal for mercy, but that
he VIII grant further respite of SOW

expected TO announce his decision to-
night and allow tho two men TO die

Governor Mann will arrive in the

Recent Note to Owner Ordered
Him to Leave Money in

The Photograph studio Of W, W.
Foster. liz North Ninth Street, was
entered early last night and the safe
which had apparently been left open
robbed of about $40 In cash. Three
lenses, valued at $3.50. several checks
and other valuable papers were not
touched. Entrance to tho place was
made by smashing a glass in a rear
door, after which the bolt was slipped
and the thief had little trouble In

investigation found the safe door, In
tho front OF the studio, othn and
papers and other articles scattered
about tho place. He at once reported
the matter at the First Police Station,
and Slr. Foster was summoned from
his home in Highland Park

Mr.. Foster said. "This steel box in
which 7 kept the cash has been broken
into. but nothing clso seems to have
been disturbed"
Got Note From Thief.
Mr.. Foster said that several times
lately his place had been entered and
small sums OF money and stamps
stolen from tho cash register. Not
long ago, no said, he received a note
which read: Leave money in the

lice at the time. but the matter was
not seriously regarded.
The photographer said that several
days ago three men. visited his studio
and acted suspiciously. Whether these
were responsible for last nights bur
glary Is not known. Mr.. Foster said
he thought he could possibly furnish
tho police with information which
may lead to the arrest of man to
whom he attributes the robbery.
After breaking in through the rear
door and rifing the safe the thief ap-
parently left through the side door,
which was found open by Campo

berry took place between 10 and IL
O'Clock, tho lights in the plnce having
been switched off at 10 o'clock by a
Waterman. The safe is located behind
desk. and any person could go
through its contents without being
seen from Ninth Street.

Rich, 10 years old, was found dead
and his sweetheart, Ruth Hamilton,
II years old, was found mortally
