CAN A MAN STEAL HIS
Own AUTOMOBILE?
Gar Los' by Major DeCamp Said to
E~-~e Becn Used by Former
Owner.

The pertinent and interesting cues
ton IL being debated IN Official cir
caes: Can a MAJ steaf his own auto
mobile? and ~ IT theft II a man APP
propriates such an autpxnohtle IL the
Aforesaid has presxc0sly been con-
fiscated by federal off3cars?
The question in point is that several
nights ago report WAS received at
police headquarters asking assistance
in locating an automobile belonging to
Major DeCamp. former provost mar
shall at Camp Lee. Tho AxReomobile
had been taken from in front Of the
Hotel Richmond.
Efforts were made to locate the car.
when 1t was learned that the car was
the same which had been driven by
Leo Kidd, well known in Richmond,
when he was held up on the highway
with a load Of liquor. 1t was further
learned that upon the night in ques-
ton Kidd WAS In Richmond on q
short furlough from Camp Humph-
reys, where he Ia located.
Then. upon further inquiry. 1t was
learned that a man had seen Kidd
get into the car, which was his own
at q former period. and drive away in
it. This statement has not been
proven. Kidd has not been inter-
viewed upon the question. II was said
last night. and II was not established
that he did take his own car for Z
little JOY ride that night.
Therefore. the question arises, ibid
he commit q misdemeanor, even
though he did take his own carp"
So far as could be lesarned last night
Major DeCamp had not located the
car The police are. In the meantime,
trying to and It for him. When Kidd
"A N Ss.h 0iv~ ~
said last night, he will be questioned
about the car, although there Is no
positive evidence that he did take IL.
The question was seriously discuss
ed by men high in police circles last
night.

TWO LOCOMOTIVES
ROLL OVER ON TRACK
Engineer Moore Injured Through IT,
setting of Engine---Cansed by
Spreading Rail.

1t was reported last night that En-
gtneer James Moore. who suffered
slight injuries early Wednesday even
ing. when two locomotives upset on
the junction track between the South
ern and the Atlantic Coast Line rail-
roads, at the south end OF Ninth Street
bridge, was improving, and would be
able to get around in few days.
The engines were attached to a
heavy freight train which was being
transferred from tie Southern to the
Coast Line. AS thu locomotives reach
ed the apex OF tho incline connecting
the tracks 81 spreading rail threw one
of the engines over on its side and
that pulled the other over with it, In
jumping Mr.. Moore sustained several
painful injuries. 1t was remarkable
that others were not hurt.
A wrecking crew got busy and in
very short while cleared the tracks
OF the debris, and opened the tracks.
The damage viii amount 10 several
thousand dollars,

AT THE
THEATERS
TELL THE TRUTH AND
SHAME THE DEVIL

One of the most severe tests ever
placed on a person is the self-im posed
task of mentally telling nothing but
the truth asserts Mr.. J. Henry Kc-
kenna, who is this season appearing
in the star part Of the comedy of that
name, In the comedy Mr.. McKenna
tells the truth for twenty four hours
and wins wager of thousands of
dollars.
Try II in real life" says Mr.. Nc
Kenna. When you get up in the
morning make up your mind to tell
the fundamentally cannot ac-
tually do it--and say the things you
would naturally say verbally, as you
do in everyday life. Keep count---if
you can--and see what long list of
lies will he on your tally sheet. The
result will amaze you. Seems like a
strong word-amaze-hut that ia just
what will happen to your mental truth
telling understanding. Start early.
keep 1t up all day. Be truthful in
your mental self. and you will retire
at night with an opinion, and more
excuses for the Lack of truth telling
faculties that will make you wonder
If there is any way to get along, pre-
serve your friends, retain. your self
respect and tell the truth one time
in ten"
In playdom, as set forth in Mr..
Montgomery's comedy. Nothing But
the Truth" which comes TO the
Academy Monday and Tuesday, with
a special Labor Day matinee on Mon
day it is the telling of the truth that
nearly costs Mr.. McKenpa his sweet
heart, his friends and his money The
entire scheme is SO real, so human.
so actually what real life should be.
as we are taught in early life. that
the close observer stops to wonder If
the entire scheme of truth telling as
taught in our early childhood. is not
OF necessity unlearned before we can
hope to become diplomatic. And it
has been said of some wise man that
only those who display diplomacy
can succeed Every member of the
cast in this comedy, including the
clock. is made TO lie, except one char
aCter, and he almost forfeits his wager
rather than stick TO the truth"

Street CAR COMPANY
WANTS Six-cENT FARES


As had been anticipated. ana AZ
officially stated yesterday by General
Manager c. B. Buchanan. of the Viz
ginia Railway and Power company.
that company will. upon the reorgani-
xatton of city council, ask for an
amendment 10 it's charter granting a.
slx-cent fare.
The present attitude OF members
of council is strongly against such
action This WAS shown in the course
of various discussions before tho street
committee when the petition for In
creased revenue was discussed. The
company was ask ed to present figures
showing why relief should be given
and the presentation OF such figures
did not at all satisfy many members
OF council.
IN the adoption OF the skip-stop ordi-
nance helps largely TO increase the
revenues, or al least to curtail the ex-
p~nditurcs Of the company. Members
OF council feel that the city should
meet the company half way, and II Is
believed a majority of them win sup
port a measure such as that xugEest-
ed by Councilman Z. q. English--the
abandonment OF the six-for-a-Quarter
AckctS ana the increase In the price
Of labor tickets from two for Ave
cents 10 three for ten cents.
Some councflmen believe the atti-
tude of the company in the matter Is
one Of trying to force the city to pay
all the increases in cost OF material
and Increased wages, while not being
willing TO split their dividends The
company asserts that this impression
Is entirely without foundation, but
that the facts win show that in all
other cities in the country the street
car companies are being granted In
creases in order to offset the high
cost OF material and wages. so that
good service may be maintained.
In making public statement yes
terday Manager Buchanan said that
as soon M the city granted the right
70 increase the fares the employees
would recsive an increase in wages.
It was said by councilman that II
that were the only reason for the pro-
posed increase the employees. who are
now receiving moro wages than they
ever did. might be patriotic enough
to decline to impose upon citizens
generally for any such increase
The company maintains that IL will
be impossible under existing circum-
stances to continue to give the good
service without more revenue.
