COPS SEEK BURGLAR
WHO ACTS PEEVISH
Housebreaker Steals Big Roll of
Confederate Money.

Every policeman in Washington
has been instructed to be on the
lookout for a burglar with a down
in-the-mouth expression. suffering
from bruises. said burglar having
kicked himself good for making a
mistake no sensible burglar would
have made.
The gentleman in question stole
a tremendous wad of Confederate
money from the home of Mrs. Clara
Geiger, III Sixth street northeast.
In his haste he neglected to look
at it second time after he had
taken it from a desk drawer. OF
course the money was valuable to
the owner, 1t being part of n col
lection she priced very highly-but
it was worse than useless to q
burglar because he could not even
buy a ham sandwich with all of 1t
unless he was fortunate to run
across someone who made a hobby
of collecting that kind of money.
Another thief, with little more
sense, robbed the home of Elinor
Perry, 1902 Seaton street northwest
and stole, a diamond ring, valued
at $40. The owner of the ring told
the police whom she suspected.

Industries or developments men who

ton. Men who were associated with
certain great industries were called
upon to make expert examinati tons OF

Mr.. Baruch accepted the offer on the
spot. And It seems TO have occurred
to him instantly that this man OF
science might be of avail in aiding
him to work our the serious prop
lem OF the refractories. incidentally
it may be said that one, high officer
OF the government has called atten-
tion to the Importance of SO treating
this industry In making up the tax
bill that it shall not be impaired.
Mr.. Baruch said that he was salts
fed that II was of the highest inI-
portance to place some highly quail
fed man in charge of the refra ctories.
and he asked the man of science what
he knew about refractories. In re-
ply he was told that this man had
very little knowledge of the industry.
Instantly Mr.. Baruch urged him. TO
accept an important post in this in
dustry. He did not say so but lie
made 1t clear that his idea was that 1t
was the better part TO take man
who had knowledge, experience and
skill in certain allied directions, and
to put him in charge of things where
he had no personal interest and with
which he had no overwhelming per-
sonal connections.
The Baruch Plan.
This solution of the problem has
been spoken of as the Baruch plan.
