THE STRIKE FEVER has made Its APP
pearance in staid old Holland and in a
comparatively short time has spread al
most over the entire country, tying up COM
merce and bringing things to standstill
generally. Even the diamond cutters
have been attacked by the disorder and
have declared a sympathetic strike. The
latter class, however, are not calculated
by their action to produce distress on
any but themselves, as people can for
time, at least, do without precious stones.
The most serious phase of the epidemic
is the fact that railroad traffic has been
brought almost to standstill as have
also the wheels of most of Hollands in
dustries. This scourge of modern civili-
cation seems to be on the march, and
after running its course in continental
Europe it may next be heard of in Te-
heran, Bagdad and other places whose
manners and customs have changed but
little since the Hegira.

Resigned His Post.

London, April Tn the House Of
Commons today Hayes Fisher, Financial
Secretary to the Treasury, who was con-
cerned in the Telescriptor Financial
Syndicate, the conduct of which pro-
yoked comments last week, by Justice
Buckley, rose and stated that he wished
to resign his post as secretary. He did
this, he said, though he had done no
wrong, and though he was not liable,
he had voluntarily handed over f5, 1000
that the shareholders of the company
might be paid in full. Premier Bal
four and Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
man both spoke expressing sympathy
with Fisher. Fisher was director in
the company and accepted bonus shares
in it, believing it to be thoroughly re-
liable. The conduct of the company is
now before the courts.

A Modern RorRia.

Berlin, April THE mysterious case
of Frau Won Golitz, wealthy lady &C
cused of poisoning her first husband,
Karl Friebe, cameup for trial this morn
ing. According to the charges against
Frau Won Goltz, after she had poisoned
her husbands she discovered that the
law required her to share her husbands
fortune with her three sons. Shegoaded
two of these to suicide by diabolical per-
secutions, one shooting himself and other
taking his life by hanging; the third died
suddenly and it is charged that the pri-
soner poisoned him also. She then
found the coast not clear yet, as little
grandson 10 years old remained and had
the right to half the money. The grand
mother then began to plot his death, and
had nearly succeeded when the lad one
day accosted the Kaiser in the street and
pleaded for protection. The present
proceedings are the outcome of the lads

plurality is 5,7S6, and the entire demo-
cratic board of public service is elected.

scarcity of takers and Goulder enthu-
siasts were everywhere predicting an

DREAMS OF A TRUST IN CITIES. -'1n

the country is being settled, it seems
highly probable that we will have con-
tinuous city from Lynn, Mass, to Mount

Giddings, of Columbia University in
New York on Saturday. "The twelfth
census shows succession of large cities,
each with an elaborate system of subur-
ban villages stretching along the belt l
have indicated. Between Lynn and
Boston are several large towns and viii
lagos, and between Fall River and
Providence is a series of large towns, the
suburbs of one RUNNING into the other.

DIR. GIDDINGs, of Columbia Univer-

ty-fve years, at the rate this part of the
country is being settled, it seems highly
sprobable that we will have continuous
city from Lynn, Mass, TO Mount Vernon,
Va" Well, when Lynn becomes a
suburb of Alexandra, there will be a
veritable reuniting of the north and
south, though if this reunion is to be de-
ferred seventy five years, people of the
present day will take but little interest

Woman Murderer Executed.

London, April 7.-GeOrge Chapman,

convicted of the murder of his wife, by
poisoning, and thought by some to be
the mysterious Jack the Ripper, who in
1888 terrorized the Whitechapel district,

in January. The technical charge
against him was that of poisoning a
young woman who lived with him as his
wife. His two previous wives both died
under suspicious circumstances and an
autopsy on their bodies revealed the
presence of poison. Chapman claimed
he was an American citizen and it is
known that he lived in New York in
1894. A Polish woman who identified
him, however, claimed that he was a
Pole by the name Klosowski. At the
preliminary hearing in his case he was
also identified as one who lived in War
saw, and went under the name of
Severino BrosOwski.

THE STORY from South Carolina thai
the President has been embarrassed ovel
the Crum case, not so much by southern
criticism as by opposition among his
friends in the north, must be taken with
a grain of salt. That Mr.. Roosevelt
should feel embarrassed concerning the
incident but few right thinking men will
doubt. but that he does feel so but few
will believe after his persistency in
making the appointment against the
protest of the entire white population OF
South Carolina and after it had been
twice refused confirmation by the Sen
ate. Mr.. Roosevelt wanted to humili-
ate South Carolina and made himself
little by exercising the great power pos
sessed by the President. i'll he had given
the colored voters the recognition ne felt
they deserved in some place where local
conditions would not have been adverse
he would have saved himself a great
deal of trouble and adverse criticism If
not embarrassment.

ATTACK on NEIGHBoR's WIFE,
j. Crabtree, a machinist in the Roanoke
shops, is in Jail, there charged with
attempting to criminially assault the
young wife of p. p. Newbills, his next
neighbor. Thealleged assault took place
on Sunday morning. Crabtree says he
went to the house of the Newbils to re-
turn a razor strop and admits that he
was under the influence of liquor. Mrs.
Newbills stated that it was with great
difficulty that she fought him of. She
succeeded in pushing him out of the door
when he threatened to return at another
time and renew his attack. Mr.. Newbills
was away from home and on his return his
wife informed him of their neighbor's ac-
ton. An unsuccessful effort was made
to secure warrant on Sunday, as no
justice of the peace could be located.
Yesterday morning Detective Griffin ar
rested Crabtree at his work in the
Roanoke shops. He has wife, a grown
son and grown daughter and one younger
daughter. The police think the case
very strong one against him. Several
years ago he was chief of the police at
Radford and killed a man whom he was
endeayoring to arrest.

JUDGE CAMPBELLs DEFENSE.

Judge Clarence J. Campbell yesterday
presented to the Senate and House
copies of his defense against the charges
under which he stands indicted by the
House judiciary committee for malfeas-
ance in Office as Judge of Amherst coun-
ty. The paper was received and order
ed printed.
The trial will come off before the House
next Thursday. Judge Campbell is in
Richmond in conference with his friends.
Judge Campbell's answer reviews the
whole case, and is far from being con-
servatiye paper.
Judge Campbell denies the right of
the rIuusv ~ rOn'~.~ L;-J - -;4-~
numerous points where the committee
acted outside Of its strict rights in his
investigation. He declares the investi-
CATION to be a persecution on the part of
his political enemies. He calls them by
name and cites the reason each one has
for desiring his downfall-in each case a
political defeat. On Judge William G.
Lovinghe isparticularly severe, charging
that Judge Loving is defaulter to the
amount of several thousand dollars in
fiduciary matters as attorney, for which
widows and orphans in Amherst are suf-
fering today. He refers to Judge Low
ing as "1atter day apostle of purity"
and, referring to him as being indignant
that judge should be lawbreaker, de-
clares that Judge Loving inside of II
months had an encounter with his own
commemorative attorney.
One of Judge Campbel's contentious
against the right of General Assembly
to remove him is that he holds Office
under the new constitution, which he
took the oath to support July 10, 1902,
and, therefore, the legislature cannot
hold him amenable for anything that
happened before He further contends
that the General Assembly could only
Justify his removal on evidence secured
by both Houses as a whole, and that
single committee, or one division of
the assembly, is not warranted in max
ing such an investigation.
II is freely stated about the Capitol
that Campbell's friends are making an
effort to pair so many members in the
House that the matter will go by de-
fault for lack of the constitutional ma
jority of 81 votes. The impression is
that Major Conrad will not appear again
in the case, and that Judge Campbell
prepared his own defense.

TUESDAY EVENING, APRTL7. 1908.

MANY YEARS ago when Joann"
southcott pretended to be prophecies
and announced that she was about TO
fulfill the forecast in the 18th chapter
of the Apocalypse by becoming the
mother of "a man child who was to
rule all nations with rod of iron" a
large percentage Of the people OF London
believed in her claims, some even after
she was dead, and the authorities were
compelled to force her dupes to bury the
body. 1t was at first supposed that only
the unstable and lovers of the marvel
Gus were Southcottians, as they we're
called, until one day, while the craze was
at the high-water mark, a member OF
the British House of Commons arose
and announced himself a believer in
Joanna who, he averred, was about to
give London the honor of having
brought forth another Shiloh. The
sober-sided conservative colleagues OF
the man were amazed when they realized
that the Joanna Southcott imposture
had invaded the House of Commons.
History is ever repeating, itself, and a
case in evidence is the fact that yester-
day the modern Christian Science mania
found champions in the Virginia Legis-
lature. The opponents, however, are
weakened, as they admitted that were
they sick they would send for a doctor.
