Files Claim With Government for
Capturing Fay and Harris.

Richmond, April 25.-Luther L.
scherer, general claim agent OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, has
fled a claim against the Federal
government for $500 for his serv-
ices rendered in effecting the arrest
~ aLittle Dick" Harris and Eddie
Fav. and recovering $4,000 IN
stamps. which they stole when they
looted the Richmond postoffice IN
1910. The subcommittee OF the SEN
ate Committee on Claims on Thurs
dav gave hearing in the case.
The arrest of Harris and Fay,
who are notorious craftsmen, and
the recovery of most of the stolen
stamps was regarded as a remarka-
ble piece of detective work. 1t was
directed by Mr.. scherer, who traced
them by means of baggage checks
They were caught at the Grand Gen.
trail Station in New York, after they
had apparently eluded all pursuit
from Richmond.
They were brought back, tried IN
the United States District Cours'
convicted, heavily fined and eaen
sentenced to serve ten years IN the
Atlanta penitentiary, where they
now are.
The stamps stolen were worth $780,
600, but $4,000 of them were never
traced. A third man is believed TO
have made good his escape with
them. Recently Congress passed a
resolution freeing Edgar Allan, Jr.,

berry, of any responsibility. The gov
eminent also instituted suit to re-
cover the amount of the missing
stamps from Fay, who is said 10

months of study and deliberatlon,

ferred" to be used in the public
schools of Virginia during the next

accompanied by the specific declara-
ton that none of the books are final

mended because Of theSfact that the
prices quoted by the publishers were
believed to be exorbitant.
1t was declared at yesterdays
board meeting that the publishers
are, in many instances, asking much
higher prices for books in Virginia
than in other sections of the country.
This aroused the ire of the board,
but in order not longer to delay the
selection of the list, tentative selec-
tons were made, and committee
appointed to confer with the pub
fishers to effect a compromise in
prices.
The following resolutions were
adopted in reference TO the price
scandal.
1. That this board. without at
this time, adopting amy books or
obligating itself to adopt any books
for use in the public schools of this
State, declares its preference for the
following books.
2. That, in the opinion Of this
board, the prices asked by the pub
fishers for said books are too high.
g. That special committee Of
three be appointed to negotiate with
publishers, with view of obtaining
lower prices for all books offered for
use in the public schools of this
State.
q. That when said committee is
ready to report, the president is re-
uuested to call meeting of this
board to consider further action.
The committee of three was named
as follows: Superintendent Stearnes
Governor Stuart and Attorney-Gene-
raj Pollard.

WHY GOOD BLOOD IS RED

Why are we continually being told that
good blood must be bright red2 What
has color to do with the quality2
Just this. The oxygen in the air is the
great supporter of animal life. One busi-
ness of the blood is to take oxygen from
the air (which it meets in the lungs) and
deliver it to the tissues of the body.
When the blood, filed with life-sustain-
ing oxygen, is sent out by the heart it is
bright red. When it returns, filled with
impurities, and deprived of it's oxygen, it
10 dark.
From this it is clear that there are two
prime requisites of health, pure air and
bright red blood-the pure air to furnish
the oxygen, the rich blood to carry il
where it is needed. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills make tho blood rich and red because
they increase its power to carry oxygen,
actually making il 30 much moro able
to carry increased life and strength to
every organ of the body. Try. these tonic
pills and note the increased color in
cheeks and lips; SEQ how your nerves be-
come eteadier, you appetite better, your
digestion stronger, your step quicker,
your troubles lighter.
Building Up the Blood" is . handy
little book to have. 1t is free on request
