TO ESTABLISH POWDER MILLS.

The Inventor of High Grade Powder
Wants to Locate Near Roanoke.
Mr.. Mason e. Leonard, of Adams,
Mass, is in Roanoke to enlist the atten-
ton of capitalists in the establishment
of plant for the manufacture OF smoke
less powder, dynamite, gun cotton and
other high explosives. The day OF black
powders has about gone by and all the
leading governments of the world are
conducting extensive experiments with
brown smokeless powders.
The best tests with black powders at
the Spring field armory with the service
charge in regulation Springfield rifle
only develop about 1900 feet initial
velocity per second. with a pressure of
$4,000 pounds to the square inch. The
standard now sought by the Government
is 1000 feet initial velocity, with q
pressure not to exceed $4,000 pounds.
This test is extremely severe, and has
never been reached continuously Mr..
Leonard has, however. as the result of
several years careful study and expert
ment. produced powder, which at tests
made by Government officials at SPRING
field early In July stood far above any
other American powders, and practic-
ally equalling the best European pow
ders. With q thirty three grain charge
his powders develop on successive tests
1912 velocity, with $4,000 pressure;
1000 velocity, with Sc, 600 pressure; 1924
velocity, with 3S.s0o pressure; and 2.0O2
velocity, with 4O,SOO pressure.
If Mr.. Leonard can succeed in estab-
fishing plant, he is entirely confident
in being able to secure extensive and
valuable contracts with the Government
for manufacturing his powders. Be-
sides, there are very few powder mills
in the South, and the Southern demand
for powders and high explosives is large
and constantly increasing. Nitric and
sulphuric acids are prominent elements
in the manufacture of explosives, and
saltpetre and iron pyrites, from which
they are made, are found in inexhausti-
Bile quantities in Southwest Virginia.
MIR. Leonard is stopping at tho South
ern Hotel, where he can be seen or ad.
dressed for q few days.

Hall Resentencad

Talton Hall, the desperate who killed
Policeman Hylton at Norton some time
ago, was resentenced Friday afternoon
to hang and the day of his execution
fixed for September %. His lawyers
have made every effort to obtain for him
a rehearing by the supreme court, but
the motion was ovcrruled. He has been
confined at Lynchburg and was escorted
to the place of trial by heavy guard.
After sentence was passed upon him he
was carried back to Lynchburg, where
he will be kept in jail until short time
before his execution. He is reticent
and will talk very little to any one.

WATSON TEsTIFIEs.
Will Call Names If Requested
by the Committee.

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-ISpeciall-
The names of the mem bers of Congress
whom Watson, of Georgia, had in his
mind whom he wrote in his book about
drunken Congressman on the floor of
the House, did not come out this morn
ing in the investigation of the special
committee appointed yesterday to in
9uire into the charge made by Watson
Tho latter was the first witness. He
said that he knew enough to substanci-
ate the charges he had made.
He would regret to mention names and
would only do SO under compulsion. He
had in mind two members present dur
ing the debate of the silver bill at q
night session early in March, when he
wrote about members Keeling on the
| floor OF the House in state Of intoxica-
ton.
The phrase drunken speakers debat-
Ing grave questions" referred to one
speaker on one occasion only. during
the Noyes- Rockwell contest. In his
opinion that speaker was in state of
maudlin intoxication. In front of the
speaker was a cup and saucer. Its con-
tents were replenished several times,
and 1t was noticeable that the more he
drank the more he wandered in his ar
gument.
Watson testified that he heard the
speaker say to page, Bring me more
of that stuff-that whiskey." That
gentleman the witness regarded as a
lovable and honorable man and one who,
no doubt, regretted the occurrence as
much as any one else possibly could.
Watson added that he would not shrink
from mentioning names if forced to the
issue. His hesitation came entirely
from desire to shield the persons con-
cerned. Chairman Boatner said the
committee would consider whether or
not 1t would ask for names

linger long within the tender memo

moment and the many other graceful

is rapidly filling up with the young and
the old. The beaux are not so SCARCE as
elsewhere; prominent among them is
Mr.. X. Campbell, Of Washington, whom

was failure.
The young mao then went and pro-

The Oklahoma craze has broken out
afresh among the negroes in the western,
partof Tennessee, and hundreds of them
have emigated from this section within
the past few days to the alleged prom
ised land. Farmers in Shelby and Tip
ten counties are unable to secure labor
ers at any price to harvest their crops,
and they have become alarmed over the
prospects OF wheat, corn and cotton
rotting in the fields. In number Of
cases negro tenants have jumped their
own crops and sold them in the fields
for song to obtain money to pay their

JUDGE LYlsROoK INJURED.
He Fell From Car at Rndford,-Now at
Hotel Roanoke.

Hotel Roanoke.
Judge Lybroox, of Stuart, Va. who
was we'll known in politics several years
ago and vas one of tho "big four" in
readjuster times, was very badly in
jured several days ago at Radford He
and his family were On route to Giles
county to visit his brother and spend
the remainder of the summer. When
they neared Radford on train No the
brakeman called out Bradford" and
the judge, not knowing the train also
stopped at East Radford. got off with
several small children, two of whom
were very sick at the time.
His wife had not gotten off, when he
again got on the train to see what had
become Of her. At this juncture tho
bell rang, and the cry of 'all aboard"
was heard. and in his dilemma he did
not know what to do-leave his wife on
the train or 60 to his crying children.
The train began to move when he de-
cided he would again get off, and rs he
attempted to step off tho train gave a
sudden lurch and he, being old and
feeble, lost his balance and fell. His
there was an intense rupture of the lig-
aments around the bone from the hip
to the knee. He was Immediately car.
ried to the Radford Inn and surgical
aid summoned.
The reason for his not seeing his wife
on the train was that she had gone in
the closet to arrange her dress before
the train stopped; then the car door
was opened, which prevented her from
getting out. The family came to Roa-
noke yesterday on No. 4, the colonel
being brought on stretcher in the bag
gage car. and are stopping at Hotel Roa-
noke.
A TIMES reporter visited him in his
sick room, and found him reposiug on a
cot, his wife and little children in at
tendance. When asked by tho repor ter
what he thought OF the political situa.
ton Of Virginia the colonel replied:

believe there is less talk of polite J
now than ever saw on the eve of a
