ATE POISONOUS SEED
LITTLE ANNA WILLIAMS NAY,
DIE FROM EFFECTS.

Anna Ruth Williams, the four-year-o old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George Williams
Of 2007 Rosedale street northeast, ate a
large quantity Of seeds from timson weed
yesterday afternoon, and as a result the
little girl is at the point of death and her
parents are almost Frustrated with grief.
The little girl was the hostess at a small
party at which were several of her friends
Of about the same age yesterday afternoon,
and the guests gathered on the commons
back Of the girls home on Rosedale street
northeast. On this lot a large number OF
Jimson weeds have been allowed to grow,
and they are laden with pods.
While playing with her companions on the
lot little Miss Williams was attracted by
the Misunderstanding pods and. without
knowing their dangerous character, she
plucked number ana devoured the seeds.
In about half an hour she complained OF
illness and sought her mother. She be-
came worse and soon was seized with con-
vulsions. Her companions informed Mrs
Williams that her daughter had eaten a
quantity of the seeds.
The effect of simple remedies applied
failed to give relief, and the parents tele-
phoned for physician.
When the doctor arrived he found the
little girl in commissions. Emergency meas
ures were taken and she was sent to the
Casualty Hospital
Late last night It was stated at the hos
pltal that the childs condition was no
better.
the children were playing when Anna Will
liams ate the poisonous weed shows that
the plant has f1ourished there without check
during the present season.

POLICE CHIEFS TO MEET
MAJ. SYLVESTER'S PLANS FOR
THEIR ENTERTAINMENT.

Major Richard Sylvester, superintendent
of police has returned from a trip to Nor
folk, Old Point and the grounds Of the
Jamestown Exposition Company. The ques-
ton of meeting place for the association
of police chiefs next year has not yet been
determined upon, but the favorable impress
sion made upon Major Sylvester bythis trip
will, it is believed unquestionably result
in the selection of this city. The meeting,
it is understood. will take place in April
or May, shortly before the opening of the
jamestown exposition, and 1t is his belief
the visiting police officials will have much
better time then than if they wait until
the crowds of visitors reach the exposition
grounds.
1t is Major Sylvester's intention to have
the association hold business meetings in
this city and to conclude the session with a
trip to the exposition grounds.
Speaking of his trip to Star reporter
last night, Major Sylvester said:
Il recently spent a day with the chief
of police and exposition authorities in Nor
folk, with a view of ascertaining the pros
pect for a satisfactory visit on the part of
the members of the International Police
Association, who may convene in annual
session in Washington next April or May.
The jamestown exposition grounds are half
an hours ride by trolley from Norfolk.
The same time is required to make the
place from Old Point, and 1t is in short and
direct communication from Virginia Beach
and other pleasure resorts. No more pic
turesque spot could have been selected.
ut looks out upon Chesapeake Bay, Fort
ress Monroe and the Rip Raps being in
plain view, and upon this water front a
great naval review and picture of the Mont
tor and Merrimac fight are to be produced.
The grounds are inclosed by fence Of
honeysuckle and rambling roses, and tropi-
cal trees and plants embellish the interior.
Cement walks and good roadways are being
constructed.
MANY foreign military companies, with
their bands of music, have registered to be
present, SO that the whole affair will be q
great attraction. The only difficulty
could discover at this time is hotel accom-
modations for the thousands who want to
go there
THE different nearby resorts have splendid
and large buildings, and an inside inn is to
be erected. Mr.. Consoles, the leading hotel
man, will~also enlarge his houses, but even
then there will, IN my opinion, be a dearth
of rooms. 1t is to the advantage of the
affair that the winter season is open, al
lowing the work to proceed, and those who
could not get into a hotel would not object
to bracing sea breezes outside. The eX-
position headquarters are in full blast, and
space is being taken up every day.
Il am sure the results will be beyond
anticipation, with the great number of
railway facilities and waterways for reach
ing the point from the twenty or thirty
nearby patriotic states"
