It is the talk around Daniels- ville, where court is in session, that Col. Tom Brown, solicitor general of the Northern circuit is to enter the field this year as an opponent of Con gressman Sam Tribble. The forecast is considered as au thentic and there arc many who be lieve that the race had been planned for some time. Col. Brown has many friends and despite the fact that he has done his duty fearlessly as solic itor general he seems to have lost few friends by so doing. It is expected that his definite an nouncement will be forthcoming in a few weeks at farthest. Tribble Will Run. Congressman Tribble has made it known that he will stand for re-elec- Tfce engagement of another of the children of former President Roose velt has just been announced. Kermit is to wed Miss Belle Willard, daugh ter of the American ambassador to Spain and former lieutenant governor of Virginia. The marriage will take place prob ably this spring. Miss Willard is a real Virginia belle and one of the moat beautiful girls ever seen Washington society. The Willard family, whose home is in Richmond, is one of the oldest in the state. The New Willard Hotel was named after it and is now owned chiefly by the American ambassador. This engagement has been brewing for a long time. More than a year ago Kermit Roosevelt and his sister, Mrs. Richard Derby, were guests of the Willards on a long hunt through Virginia. Mms Willard was one of the guests at the wedding which made Miss Ethel Roosevelt Mrs. Derby. Kermit Roosevelt, second son of the former president, is twenty-four. Since the summer of 1012 he has been in Brazil, and is now an officer of the Anglo-Brazilian Iron Company in Sao Paulo. He is tall and well set, and has won honors as an athlete. He interrupted his studies at Har vard in 1909 to accompany the colonel or. the latter’s African hunt as p’no- ! tographer to the expedition. In the fall of 1911 he resumed his studies at Harvard and was gradual in June, 1912. A daring attempt at .robbery and probably assault took place at the home of Mr. Philip Abelman on Dougherty stfeet 'at about dark yes terday. * [ It seems that no one was at home at the time except the housegirl, Alice Reed, who heard some one moving | about in one of the rooms, and on in- | vesi.igai.iiiK found a r.cgzo rr.zr. h*d»»g | in * c!«sovi, glee that articles in the room had been tampered with. A3 she waa ’ih the act of passing by a closet a negro caughi hold of her dress und tore her apron. She «creamed and the man fled, overturning a table in his hurried flight. - It is learned from the police today that there are n« new developments in the ca3e. N They have as a clue the negro’s hat, that bears the trade mark of an Abbeville, S. C., firm. The man had evidently been in the house quite a while before he was discovered by the servant as a general disturbance of the furniture showed, yet strange to say, nothing was taken of any real value. The police are working dili gently on the case, and it is thought there will be developments before nightfulj. Another Nervy Negro. Late yesterday it was reported to the police that an unknown negro had walked off with a handbag belonging to Mrs. Robt. Pearce, haying taken it from her place of business on Broad street. Two negro men came into the res taurant of Mrs. Pearce and asked for a few matches. Mrs. Pearce, not sus pecting anything wrong, turned to the rear of the place to get the match es. When she turned to hand the matches to the men, they were walk ing out of the door, and' soon disap peared. Then it was found that handbag containing seven or eight dollars belonging to Mrs; Pearce had disappeared. The police are working on this case. . > AFLOAUND HER PASSENGERS SAFE Wireless Was Too Weak to Give Ship’s Position—The Rescue Vessels.
