Henry. Carter Stuart and other
State officials. z
The days ceremonies included a
luncheon, public meeting with adj
dresses, and a visit to various points
of interests.
An impressive part of the pro-
CRANE was the placing by Lieut..
Gen. Bridges and Capt. H. H. Spen-
der Clay of wreaths on the statues
to Gen. Robert E. Lee and Thomas
]. (Stonewall) Jackson.
Tie mission expressed deep regret
that time does not permit general
trip through the South. The State
Department, however, has expressed
a desire to have the commission de-
vote all the remaining time possible
to questions still pending. The yisi-
tors, therefore, found it necessary to
confne their trip to single day in
the old Confederate capital.

Emperor Nicholas and aimed against
France is given in the last issue OF
the Moscow Russkoye Sloyo to reacD
Paris. According to the story, the ex-
istence of the treaty was discovered
:by Count Witte in 1905 while the
peace negotiations between Russia
and Japan were proceeding at Ports
mouth.
Count Witte furious at the decep-
ton of the car informed the kaiser
that unless the pact was cancelled
he would refuse to countersign the
treaty of Portsmouth. AS German
bankers were interested in loan to
Russia this would hit them hard and,
the story goes, rather than have COM
plications in his economic policy the
kaiser yielded. Neither emperor how
ever, ever forgave Count White.
At the beginning of the war Count
Witte communicated the facts to q.
GIinsky, editor of the Messenger His
torioue. He bound the editor to keer
the information secret until he, Count
White, twas dead and circumstances
warranted the revelation of "Nicho!'
as inconceivable levity or treason
whichever you like"

come numerous complaints from var.
ious parts of the State of banking In
situations which havesg gone beyond the
legal rate of 6 per cent in fixing the
amount of interest charged farmers
who needed funds to pitch an unusu-
ally large crop.
The Council of Defense believes the
impending shortage of food stufts to
be the most serious of all problems
facing the State in its efforts to pre-
pare for the war emergency. An
army is provided for by national law.
Slackers who hesitate to serve at the
front will be dealt with by the strong
arm of the government. But the
lending of money to the farmer VINO
is trying to feed the army and who IS
sorely in need of monetary assistance
is in the nature of voluntary ser
vice into which the council will not al
low the element of greed to enter.

Richmond Police Comment on Reduc-

i Migrants.
Z otis an i'll wind that blows no

Richmond police officer VINO yester-
day called attention to the remark
able condition which obtains in local
criminal circles. at may be true
that they have shipped all Of our col
ored workmen out of town." said this
officer, "but they have taken the bad
along with the good, and we are not
now able to find any of our crooked
friends who for years gave the depart
ment so much trouble"
The policeman said that the Old
time haunts of worthless co1ored men
are today deserted and the number OF
robbery reports has decreased ae-
cordingly. "The only stealing which IS
going on in Richmond now" ne sald'
sis being done by worthless white
boys and young men. You Will see
them idling about the streets; they
are of the sneak-thief variety" he
also pointed out that at this time
there is no reason for any one TO be
without employment. Colored, as well
as white, labor is being paid tlp-top
prices, and employers report that IL
is almost impossible to get either Tor
any price.
Most people are inclined to attr'-
butte the exodus of the criminal ele-
ment to prohibition, but the ponce
hold to the opinion that it Is due To
the fact that out-of-town manufac'
tories, especially the munition plants
are offering high wages for honest
labor.
AT any rate, the crooks whose faces
arc familiar to the older police OF
ficers have vanished from Richmond
and the number of complaints Oh
thefts, therefore. has been reduced
