Police in every large Eastern city
are on the lookout for the men who
burgIarized two Richmond stores and
escaped with valuable goods at an
early hour yesterday morning. They
were traced to Washington, and ac-
cording to information from the au-
thorities there, a trio OF men, closely
answering the description OF those
wanted here, left there for Baltimore,
and are believed to be In hiding in
that city.
Three men are believed by the local
police to have been implicated In the
robbery of the Hub Clothing Company.
Inc. III East Broad Street and the
jewelry store of Schwarzschild Broth-
crs, Second and Broad street. which
were entered between midnight and
dawn yesterday morning. The loss Will
probably total $4,000. most OF which

The burglary was one of the best

The Hub Clothing Company was the
first place entered. The entry was
made through the ceiling Immediately
over the show windows, and at no
time were the burglars in the least
danger OF being seen at their opera
tions on account OF the mahogany
pletely cut off the view OF the store
interior from the street. The men
were working from n room in Murphy's
Hotel Annex, directly over the store,
and cut through the floor with the
auEcr. saving hole just large enough
for medium sized man to squeeze
through. This work was probably
done on Friday afternoon. the men not

store until ready to complete the job.
, Once in the store the best of tho
stock was picked over. and many valua-
