Smithsonian Officials Dismiss Thief Plot To Steal Curios
New York police report of a plot to steal Smithsonian Institution curios for rewards is dismissed as impractical by Richard Rathbun and W. De W. Ravenel. They cite multiple keys, guarded cases, limited valuable items, and reliance on guards and locks. They warn no museum rewards exist and doubt a successful theft. A cyclone then hits Flores Island in the Azores causing crop damage.

Special to The Washington Post from Stamford Connecticut, September 1. Joseph Horne, superintendent of the Stamford plant, confirms the Yale & Towne Company supplied keys and locks for the Smithsonian Institution and the National Museum in Washington.
