one of the most drastic changes yet

Yesterday when the Richmond station
received telegram from the adjutant-
general in Washington stating that
hereafter the minimum height for re-
cruits would be placed 1t five feet. one
inch, and the minimum weight ITO
pounds. Prior to the new ruling, the
height was five feet four inches, and
the minimum weight 100 pounds.
Numerous applicants for enlistment
have been rejected for failing to come
up to the height and weight standards,
and. with these lowered, il is believed
that recruiting will he materially aided
The army recruiting station was yes
terday rc-cnforccd by the arrival of
Scrrcants Charles O'Donncll and John

here. One other sergeant is expected
TO arrive, and other men may he de-
tailed here later, the authorized
strength of the Richmond recruiting
party being twenty men. While moth
ing definite is known, il is expected
that the force here is being enlarged
for the handling of the men who will
lie chosen from Richmond under the
Sclcctivc draft act.
While cnlistmentS for the signal
corps are still light, Lieutenant Tay-
lor, in charge, is being besieged with
applications for information concern
ing this branch of the service, and il
seems certain that the quota from this
district Will be raised without difficulty
While men with technical training are
especially desirable for the signal corps
men without such qualifications, but
who have good educations, will he re-
ccived.

NElGHBORHOOD FEUD,
SAYS POLICE REPORT
Captain Sherry Finds No Antipathy TO
DIR. HnSemnnn AK Naturnli1cd
(.erman.

After detailed investigation of the
recent trouble in the East End, when
the residence Of DR.. r. w. Hagemann
was stoned, Captain G. a. Sherry, of
First Precinct, yesterday filed a COM
plctc report of his findings with Chief
of Police Louis Werner.
Testimony secured from residents of
the neighborhood in which the trouble
occurred. by men working under Cap
tain Sherry,S instructions, led to the
belief that the s,oning Of the Hage-
mann residence was the outgrowth of
neighborhood fcud, brought about
by childrcns difficulties, and not
through any antipathy OF the neigh
bors toward the Iagcmann family on
account of Dr. Hagemann being nat
uralized German.
Officers working on the case were in
formed that the Hagcmann children
started the trouble OH the night of
July . by throwing rocks at other chill
drcn in the street; four windows in the
HaScmann residence were broken and
the battle came TO AN end when one of
the HaSemann children drew a revolver
on the besicGcrs.
On previous occasion officers from
FIRST Precinct Station were attracted
10 the same neighborhood by reports
of rock battle, which neighbors
claimed was started by the HaEemann
children. Two families reported their
windows broken by the Hagemanns.
FROM Captain Sherry's investigations
ire ncighbors have only the kindest
ieciinEs toward DIR. Hagemann, who
In turn, has cvinccd no desire to insti-
tutc any prosecution
Othcers have been instructed to give
i'r neighborhood particula- attention.

Ride around City
Costs Groues $500
Buys Automobile Which Turns
Out to Haze Been Stolen
From r. S. Hudgins.

For n ride over the city and further
trip from Richmond to Petersburg
Robert N. Groves, claiming the latter
city as a place Of residence. is out
$780, Incidentally, as he stated to Cap
tain of Detectives Mcmahon. Barnum's
minute is far too small. Also. Groves
will buy no more bargains. that is, OF
automobiles. unless minute investiga-
ton shows that alls we'll.
Groves arrived in Richmond Thurs
day night from Petersburg about the
the police that for the fifth time. some
one had stolen his automobile from
Ninth and Broad Streets.
Groves was In Richmond to buy n
car. and he naturally drifted up along
Motor Row." on Broad Street.
Stopping Ito converse with a man
who had 1917 model of a popular
price car in tow, Groves dropped n Ques-
tion as to where a fellow might pick
up bargain in a car.
By an odd coincidence, the party to
whom he spoke had an idea that the
very car in which he was seated might
be for sale, but the owner would have
to be consulted. He had a good idea
however. that the owner would be will
ing to part with the machine for about
$500.
In order that Groves might see just
what a regular car was being offered,
he was invited to take ride over
the city. Comes the end Of the trip.
and the driver suggests that Groves
alight and walt for him to return.
Well and good. Shortly afterwards
the driver and the car returned, and
as the driver had expected. the owner
was entirely willing to SELL Groves
had the $500 handy. and the car and
money changed hands. The purchaser
started on his return trip to Peters
burg. and the selling agent decided
that he would accompany Groves.
AT Petersburg the agent disappeared
and Groves placed his car In garage
The next day. when Captain Nc
Mahon wired Petersburg that a car be-
longing to r. S. Hudgins had been
stolen. and asking that watch be kent
TOT It, Petersburg officers got busy
and made round OF the garages.
Then Groves discovered that he had
bought the Hudgins car. and there
was only one thing he could do.

Unpleasant memories.
