 From a feminine viewpoint it is one of the most interesting thor oughfares in the town. Quickly style centers arc frequently shown there within 4S hours after they are on view in ateliers on 2ristocratic Fifth and Madison avenue. On Division street, however, they arc often one-third to onc-haH cheaper. The street in many way : resembles an arcade, for overhead '.s an elevated structure which com pletely shuts off sunshine. and all day the shops glow with q pure white electric dazzle.
 Sales arc made almost solely through window displays. Mer- chants rarely advertise, and many have no names out front. Shops arr open all day Sunday and chorus girls take boy friends buy-buy there. Most of the merchants on Division street like to bargain.
 While there are a few strictly one price establishments, the larger number announuce first price as s mere "feeler." From then on one is supposed 10 haggle until a satis- factory figure is reached. Thus shopping becomes something of al adventure.
 Not all the customers are chorus and shop girls. Division has its | limousine trade. Nearby is Allen street offering a similar array Of garment shop5-not quite so gaudy and a bit cheaper. It is the first stop of push cart merchants in thel" march uptown.
 Shopping on the East Side is no. only cheaper, but one often finds A more pronounced courtesy.

POLICE SILENT
ON THEORY
Of CRIME
Sufficient Data to IndiCt
Suspect Asked by States
Attorney; Weapon Missing

RICHMOND, Va, May o.
Evidence gathered by the police
in the killing of Harry Rohm, As,
Well-to-do leather merchant, who
was slain in the hallway of his
home May II, will be presented
to the grand jury of the Hastings
court on June 2, it was decided
at conference between police
officials and Commonwealth At
torney Dave E. Satterfield.
Satterfield said that he hoped
the police in the meantime
would be able to uncover suffi-
cient additional evidence against
the party or parties suspected
in the killing to obtain an indict-
ment.
So far as is known, the police
have been unable to locate the
pistol used in the murder, nor
have they found any witnesses
who saw the suspected person or
persons entering or leaving the
home Immediately before or after
the Staying is supposed to have
taken place.
Although all officials connected
with the investigation have kept
silent on their findings, the gen.
eral supposition is that the case
they have built up is purely cir
cumstantial. Rohm is known to
have been threatened, and the
fact that, the day he was found
murdered he seemed to be nervous
and distraught, is regarded as
evidence that he had had trouble
that day which he regarded as of
more than passing import. In
vestigators have been faced with
maze of clues which have led
them to question a large number
of persons in Richmond.
Rohm is believed by the police
to have been alone in the house
at the time the murderer entered
Mrs. Rohm, her daughter and
son. Morris. told the officers that
, they left Rohm at 8 o'clock. The
time of the tragedy has been
placed at between and $50
o'clock, and a neighbor claims to
have heard three pistol shots
during that time.
The theory of robbery was
abandoned when a substantial
sum of money, a diamond ring
: and a watch we're found on the
body, and the house showed no
signs of having been searched
since nothing of value was taken
