RICHMOND BANKS
WELL PROTECTED
All Belong To State and National
Associations, a Fact Not
Generally Known

The banks of Richmond have re-
ceived their cards announcing the
fact that they are henceforth to be
protected by the celebrated Pinker-
ton detective agency, and have been
provided with a small m etal card un-
on which the above info mation is in
scribed, and this is attached to the
knob of the vault door. This will be
the first to greet possible intruder
who, in his wise way, will compre-
hend the significance of it. He will
realize instantly that the noted or
ganization will have men on his trail
and that they never tire of the hunt.
The local banks also have otheI
cards announcing their affiliation
with this protective service, just in
stalled. Besides this, there are the
national and state projections, since
each banking institution is member
of the state and national banking as
sociations This makes them doubly
safe, since these, or one of them at
least, employs the famous Burns de-
tective agency in ferreting out Grim
inals who make a speciality of rob
bing banks.
Kentucky has apparently been tho
victim of continued series of banl
robberies during the past sever
months and many of the thieves havf
been apprehended. Adjoining state
have also fallen victims to this clas
of professional crooks. Several of ther
are now being held for trial, while ::
number have been convicted. Die
Howell, with a number of pals, ro'
bed a number of banks in Ohio, ane
who was captured in Kentucky SON
time ago, is now in prison in Canto,
awaiting trial for murder, which +
committed upon being arrested. How
ell, who was arrested at Irvine, we
brought to Richmond for safekeepinf
and held for some time until requisi
ton papers were secured.

ed to a new front, the interior

be changes in the way of installa-

The plans call for a pretentious
front which will add greatly to
the exterior appearance and
complete transformation of the
interior, which will greatly en-
hance its beauty. The firm is
one of the foremost in the coun-
ty as well as the city and when
the contemplated improvements
are realized, the bank will be a
model one in every particular.

ARTIST IN MUSIC;
ALSO THEATRICALS
Young Woman Of Richmond
Given High Praise Through
the Daily Press

Miss Lillian Smith, charming and
accomplished daughter of Prof. G. d.

at Eastern Normal, who is at the
head of the music department of the
city high school at Harlan, is recog-

ably more than that. The truth has
permeated through demonstration
of the Power Of the Press fo, she
is credited with theatrical ability
quite out cf the ordinary.
Miss Smith returned recently from
Harlan, after her work for the term.
However, it was left to the Daily
Enterprise there to divulge her adj
dit;onal talent, FOR it says some very
nice things about her both as teacher
ant, musician. Miss Smith previous
to the closing of the school took an
active part in the theatricals and
personally handled the entire cast of
fifty people in a manner that caused
her to be given credit for presenting
the biggest musical entertainment
ever given there. Miss Smith had
charge Of the management from the
training Of the participants in their
respective roles to the presentation
of the most particular parts, a task
that not only requires much versatil-
ity, but an extensive knowledge of
stage effects, something with which
the average musician is ignorant of.
The extraordinary success attending
her efforts, while tardy in reaching
"home," will be none the less applc-
ciated by her many friends. So, as
well as being recognized as an artist
in her chosen field, she must De cred
tied with unusual theatrical talent,
keen observer, close student and
demonstrator and originator of ideas

stage spirit of today, which is saying
great deal.

DOLLAR BILL is
RAISED TO A TEN
Local Dealer Had 1t In His Pos.
session Several Days Before
Discovery Was Made

One of the cleverest pieces of work
in way of raising denomination of
dollar bill is in evidence here, the
bill having been passed at the harness
store of George w. Pickels, Second
street. The bill, as it was presented,
resembled a ten dollar bill so much
that it was some time afterwards, in
fact, two days after having been re-
ceived, when the artistic work was
discovered.
The bill, which is a one-dollar bill,
is still in the hands of Mr. Pickels,
and was presented by a man who had
some harness repair work done, and
the harness dealer is of belief that
he knows the identity of the man who
presented it. The work is very good,
considered SO by bank officials, who
have had considerable experience, and
federal service men who made a spe-
cial examination of latest bill to be
passed here. The letters, "ONE," are
covered with a small strip of paper,
bearing the letters, "TEN," and fit
into place so neatly that they would
not be noticed by the casual observer.
The figures are also covered and 9TH
ers pasted over them, giving the bill
the appearance of a genuine bill of
the greater denomination. This is
the first of its kind appearing in Rich
mond for years. 1t is said by bank
ers that a few years ago there were
a number of bills presented here, but
the workmanship on them was not as
clever as that presented by this bill
1t is not believed that there are many
of them here or that there has been
any attempt to pass them here. in
tenionally. One banker stated that it
was his opinion the work had been
done in some city and that the bill
might have passed through the hands
of many men before it was discovered
to be a raised bill.

CRECELIUS MAY
SUCCEED BOGCS
Richmond City Engineer Tipped
For Appointment AS Road
Commissioner

Reports are current in Lexing
ton and Frankfort that Col. c. F.
5Crecelius, City Engineer of Rich
mond, is to be chosen State High
way engineer by the new High
way Commission, to succeed Joe
S. Boggs, of Richmond, whose
resignation is in the hands of the
Governor, to take effect July /.
The selection of Col. Crecelius
would undoubtedly give eminent
satisfaction to everyone, es-
pecially here where his ability has
been SO we'll demonstrated. The
Lexington Leader had the follow
ing about the possible selection
of Col. Crecelius:
ga report is current that Major
Crecelius, a Kentuckian, will be
appointed Road Engineer by the
new State Road Commission, and
that in due time he will take over
the duties now performed by
State Road Commissioner Boggs.
The Leader could not confirm the
report last night since Gov. Nor
row and Green Garrett, the
member Of the State Road Com
mission from this district, were
both in Chicago attending the re
publican convention, but the ru-
NOR that Major Crecelius will be
appointed appears to be well
founded. Major Crece1ius. it is
stated, is not only graduate civ
il engineer. as required by the
new road law of Kentucky, but
has had extensive experience in
road building: He was engaged
for a long time by the United
States Government to supervise
the construction Of roads in Vel
lowstone Park, and as a Major
Of Engineers during the late war
assisted i'll repairing and con-
structing roads in front of Per
shing's army in France. The
State Road Engineer, it is pro
vided by law, is elected by the
Road Commission, bipartisan
body, on recommendation of the
Governor, and Gov. Morrow, it is
averred, is determined that this
selection shall be based absolute
ly on the merit and in conformity
with the letter and spirit of the
statute"
