While very evident that such an ar

Daylight burglars broke into four
houses in Richmond Thursday after
noon, while the residents were away
from home. Nothing was taken at
two of the houses, however, while two
gold rings and clothes were taken
from the other two.
Six houses, including those Thurs
day, have been entered during the last
two weeks and police are inclined to
believe that it is local talent at work.
Screens were cut or glasses broken at
ali of the places
The home Of Rev R. D. Balwin, %
South Seventeenth street, rector Of
St PauPs Episcopal church, was one
Of those entered Thursday afternoon.
Entrance was gained by cutting a win
COW screen. Nothing was taken, how
ever.

Two gold rings and a small bank
containing $1.50 were taken at the
home Of Albert Fisk, 1106 South Sew
enth street. Window glass in a rear
door was broken by the thieves
A suit OF clothes, coat and another

Brubaker and his brother were taken
from 1915 North B street. Screen In

Land, living near, reported to police
that she saw one man carrying a suit
case around the house in the after
noon. She thought there was some
one home however, and didn't report
1t to the police at that time.
The fourth place entered was the
home Of Mrs. Ida Lemon, % South
Seventeenth street, where entrance
was gained by breaking a window
glass and then unlocking the window.

Accident Leads to Discovery
of Attempted Lead Smuggling

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Accidental
discovery that wire nails In consign-
ment for Sweden were covered with
lead caps caused the custom author
tiles to hold up a shipment Of 500
cases of the nails. The smashing Of
one Of the cases by a passing truck on
a Brooklyn pier led to the discovery
1t was said there was enough lead on
each nail for the manufacture of
rifle bullet and that the application of
shipping license contained no mention
of the lead simply stating that the
cases contained wire nails.
The cases have been standing on a
dock for about three weeks. The In
vestigation will seek to determine
whether the lead was placed on the
nails as subterfuge to get needed
war materials to German or whether
it was there for some legitimate pur-'
