night, addressing the Italian-Ameri-
can Political Club, "but I am not one
of them. l am unwilling to take an
important step in any matter OF
great moment without first lnvestl-
eating it"
The Mayor thus justified the posi-
ton he has taken in dealing with the
problem of commercialized vice. He
lcited his appointment of commission
of fifteen to aid him in finding So
luton of the problem as a pract'ca
demonstration of his attitude towards

WHY RICHMOND Is
WON The BANK
Convincing Claims Has
Proved Selection Was
Proper and Wise.
EXPERT TESTIMONY.
Widely Known Statisticians Say Vir-
ginia's Capital City is Logical
Point For District.

Richmond, April 1G.-The designa-
Ition of Richmond as the location for
a Federal reserve bank was ap-
!proved yesterday by two of the most
widely known banking experts In
this country-Charles A. Conant, OF
New York, and O. P. Austin, former
chief of the United States Bureau
of Statistics, and now private con-
sulting statistician of Washington.
Each man has made a careful analy-
sis of the figures compiled for the
use of the organization committee
lin Washington. Mr.. Austin reports
as his conclusions:
"When compared with the facili-
ties which any other city of the area
could offer, l consider the final de-
termination of the area and the Sc
lection of Richmond for the reserve
bank as a logical and wise conclus-
ZION, and believe it will be SO recog-
nized when subjected to the test OF
business operations under the new
law"
Mr.. Conant reported: Richmond
has convincing claims under any rea-
sonable appointments as one OF
the reserve banks of the South"
Mr.. Conant is the author Of 4
number of books on banking, which
are the recognized authorities He
! has been called into consultation by
several countries in connection with
currency legislation, and has de-
vised and installed new financfa! sys-
/ tens for several of the South Amer
lean republics. AS a consulting ex-
pert on banking he stands at the
very top of the profession.
In the beginning Of the fight Tor
reserve bank for Richmond the
executive committee headed by Oil
YER J. Sands, retained Mr. Conapt,
| regarded by the committee as one
of the leading experts in banking
! and currency matters in the world
! to come here and advise the commit
/ tee as to whether he thought Rich
mond was properly located and
whether the committee was Justified
! in making an effort to secure one OF
the banks.

mers were looking over jewelry IN
Rosenthaps curiosity shop, 1856
Broadway, three doors below Thlr-
ty-seventh street New York,
at 2 o'clock yesterday even
ing, when young man, wearing
raincoat and soft hat, appeared out
side the show window.
In the shop, besides the custo-
mers, were four clerks and a girl
cashier. The man quietly entered
the vestibule, drew a long chain and
padlock from his pocket, made a loop
in the chain and, playing IT around
the door knob, drew it taut to an
iron bar, fastening the door so it
could not be opened from the inside.
To make sure the chain would not
slip, he put a paddock on it.
Because Of the storm not many
nersons were on Broadway at the
time. After claiming the door the
man quietly stepped outside the YES
thule and looked into the window,
where were many trays of jewelry.
The man then threw brick through
the show window and calmly helped
himself to the most valuable jewelry
in the window. He secured between
$4,000 and $4,000 worth Of jew
