ARMY TEST IN COURTS.
Can Soldier Shoot to Kill Outside Of
Government Property anyone Who
Steals from Uncle Sam?

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 2S.-Lieut.
Ralph w. Drury and Private John
Dowd of the Ninth United States infan-
try, were today placed on trial, charged
with the murder of William Crowley,
Is years old, September 10, 1908. Crow
ley and Il number of other boys are said
to have been caught stealing inside the
arsenal grounds. Drury ordered Dowd
to shoot.
The question at issue is: Has Unit
ed States soldier the authority to kill
Il man outside of government property
who is suspected of Il crime within gov.
eminent property? The case was finally
taken to the United States supreme
court where it was decided to turn the
men over to the civil authorities and put
an end to the question for all time.
The questions asked by the common.
wealth attorney during the examination
of jurymen gave rise to the belief that
the prosecution would not ask for a YER
dict of murder in either the first or sec.
Ond degree, as the attorneys simply
asked the jurors if they had been sol.
diers, an affirmative answer bringing
forth a challenge from the common
wealth's attorneys.

ALLEGE MURDER MOTIVE,
Police Arrest Car Man Whose Wife Died
in Operation Performed by
Dead Doctor.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Suspected of
knowing something about the mysterious
killing of DR.. Charles W. Townsend of
Staten Island, Friday night, the police

ing, l.. l., and is said to have eIoped
with a prominent young woman i'll that
place. Her parents objected and Bell
and his young wife removed to Staten

about the country, and at the time of
the earthquake was employed in San

no friend of his, but that he had moth
ing whatever to do with the murder

Before death he admitted that he knew
who shot him but refused to tell, be
cause he said he did not want any other
lives sacrificed.

The object Of the jamestown expo
sition is, primarily, to celebrate the
three hundredth anniversary Of the
first English settlement on American
soil which, as history records, occurred
on the thirteenth day of May 1907, on
a peninsula that juts into the James
River about thirty-five miles from its
mouth. The little band Of hardy pio-
necrs named the place Fort James,
later James City and finally James
town. That it may be understood why
the Jamestown exposition will be held
at Scwells Point on Hampton Roads in
stead Of at or on the original site OF
jamestown some forty miles away, and
why the exposition will be opened on
the 2Gth Of April instead Of on the
18th day Of May, paragraph in eX-

OF course the exposition will have its
midway, in this instance called the
War Path" where all kinds of con-
cessionaires will interest and amuse
the curious and mystify the unititiated.
All the usual attractions will be found
here, augmented by such as time and
demand usually produce.
The prevailing style of architecture
is colonial and the various state build
ings are all near the water front, from
which may be seen the broad expanse
of Hampton Roads and the naval and
in fact all the nautical maneuvers that
Will take place there next year. Many
of the exhibit buildings and all of the
State buildings will be permanent
structures and after the exposition will
be converted into hotels, club houses,
residences and the like, so that the
exposition grounds will in reality re-
main as Il beautiful and historic point
Of interest for all time to come.
Ample provision is being made for
the entertainment of all who may visit
the exposition at the Inside Inn on the
grounds, which has accommodations
for about 3,000 people and at the va
rious hotels, summer resorts, private
boarding houses and private houses
in the following places which are
all connected with the exposition
grounds by steam and trolley lines and
by numerous lines of steamboats,:
Norfolk, five miles; Fortress Monroe,
four miles; Old Point Comfort, three
miles Newport News five miles; Ports
mouth, eight miles; Ocean View, three
miles, and many other places of less
Importance about the same distance.
The transportation rates here and from
a distance and the hotel rates will be
low and always commensurate with the
