May Affect Home Guard.

Lynchburg Va, Nov. 13.-The
Lynchburg Home Guard may be af-
fected by the recent action of the
state Military Board, when appropria-
tons for Virginia militia commands
were put on new basis.
Instead of payments of a lump sum
for each officer and enlisted man pres
ent at the annual State inspection, the
average attendance at the State and
Federal inspections and summer en-
campment will form the basis. The
new rule will considerably reduce the
appropriation of practically every
command in the State.

FIND DIAMONDS ON SHIRT
Customs Inspectors Discover
$1,000 Worth IN Second Cabin.

Uncut diamonds worth 5000 were found
by customs inspectors on Meyer BARCLAY,
a second class passenger. who arrived
yesterday aboard the steamship President
Grant.
Acting upon information from outside
sources customs men carefully examined
the baggage carried by Barclay when
the steamer docked at the pier in Ho-
boken. The passenger first declared that
he had nothing dutiable. but when he was
told that he would be searched he made
vigorous protest The search revealed
package OF stones sewed to Barclays
shirt. They had been entrusted TO him,
he said. by a diamond dealer in Amster-
dam. Holland. He was to sell them in
this country on commission.
immigration authorities have detained
Barclay for the purpose OF making an
investigation as 10 his fitness as an allen,
but II is probable that Collector Malone
will secure his surrender in order that he
may be prosecuted on charge OF SNUG
