AMATEUR YECCMAN
C0NFESSES TO THEFT

Charles T, Schillingburg, postmaster
of Highland Springs. was arrested yes
terday by Sheriff Webb Sydnor and
Postal Inspector Dickinson, on a war
rant charging him with the robbery of
the postofflce, which occurred early
Monday morning.
The arrest followed a close exan1tna
ton OF the case which convinced the
officers of the guilt of the postmaster.
Sheriff Sydnor stated last night that
Schillingburg made a clean breast OF
the crime. saying that he destroyed the
records in order TO avoid arrest for
transportation of funds.
The robbery was discovered early
yesterday morning by the postmaster
and r. G. Moore. II was announced
that about $3.50 was missing and thar
the burglars had made a fire in the
center OF the floor in which all records
for the Office for the past three years
were completely destroyed The post
office is located in the Masonic temple.
which is hreproof building. and the
fire consequently did no damage be-
yond the destruction OF the records
and burning hole in the moor.
Sheriff Sydnor said last night that
schillineburg had made no statement
As TO the amount OF funds which he
had misapproprfated or on what date
1t occurred. Following his alleged
confession. he was taken to the Hen
rico county jail. where ne will be held
for hearing before the federal COM
missioner.

The speaker touched on the new
power plant of the college the Dooley
hospital and the new negro hospital,

is smaller than in years past. 1t has
never been exceeded in quality. he
said.
Need OF Doctors.
Men are being graduated" he said,
lat a time when their services are
greatly needed Doctors are neces-
sity and not a luxury. The mum her
of physicians in the United States is
sadly inadequate. This WAS one of
the greatest problems OF the govern
ment in the world war. The recent
influenza epidemic emphasized this
condition. Rural districts are with
out sufficient doctors"
DR.. Mitchell said in part: Rich
mond is the medical center for ten
million of people embraced in the two
Virginias and the two Carolinas. The
educational resources OF Richmond
are unsurpassed. You have the
Medical college of Virginia. the
Mechanics institute. Union Theologi-
cal seminary, Richmond college and
great public school system. headed
by John Marshall high school.
The growth OF the Medical college
of Virginia during the past year is
indicative Of the growth OF a number
OF years. Medical education In Rich
mond began in a small way I con-

BAKERS STATEMENT
First statement on the Mexican
situation came this morning from
Secretary Baker when he said:
There is no possibility OF
misunderstanding between the re-
public of Mexico and the United
States with regard to the protec-
ton of life on the American side.
In many instances previously 1t
has been necessary for tho Ameri-
can forces very briefly to cross
h@
forces. The sole purpose of the
American soldier is to protect
life on the American side.'
This afternoon, Mr.. Baker is
sued this statement:
Our dispatches from Mexico
show that as the result OF the
fight between the Federal forces
and the Villistas. wounded SOL
diers of the republic OF Mexico
were brought to the American
side and are being cared for in
our military hospitals. Refugees
from Juarez are being received
and cared for. When firing from
the villistas wounded persons in
FL Paso, an American force
crossed ne border to dispense
these bandits. The force will be
Immediately withdrawn to the
American side of the border as
soon as this object IL accom-
plished. This does not mean any
invasion or occupation Of Mexico
but merely the protection of lives
and property of persons on the
American side of the line. The
matter has, of course. been fully
explained to the authorities,
