Kept Poison In Her Bracelet.

New York, July S.-With the courage
of Cleopatra, a beautiful young wo-
man, who gave her name as Mrs. Otto,
and said she was the wife of a Nevada
lawmaker, has carried cyanide of potas-
sium in her bracelet for months, to end
her life if she met with an accident in
an automobile.
The startling discovery was made af-
ter the young woman and her compan-
ion, who said he was Warren G. Noble,
of New York, had been arrested in
Greenwich for violating the speed laws.
Sheriff Ritch caught them, after chase
of miles throughout the principal streets
of the city to the Indian Harbor Yacht
Clubhouse.
AREN'T you afraid to travel so fast?"
the sheriff asked the young woman.
''No; I'm willing to take my chan
ces," she replied 81 have driven fast
horses and have ridden in automobiles
going seventy miles an hour
''You might be MANNED for life in
some accident, said the sheriff.
Pulling up the sleeve of her coat the
young woman displayed beautiful gold
bracelet.
There's poison enough in that" she
said, Ito put me out of my misery
should anything like that happen. 1
always carry it."
Drawing up the other sleeve of her
coat, she showed an emblem on a string.
"Do you belong to that7'' she asked.
''You ought to. 1t will keep you from
all harm"
''The woman was fined $50 by the
court. She said she had gone to Green
wich to look over machine owned by
John Tyson. son of the late Commodore
Tyson, of the Riverside Yacht Club, and
was setting the pace for Tyson in try
out when she was arrested.

Old Geronimo Wants to Fight.

Cache, 1. T., July 9.--The old Apache
warrior Geronimo, who terrorized the
Southwest for many years with his
bloodthirsty band, while attending
celebration at Cache under parole, as
the guest of the Comanche chief, Qua
nah Parker, made an attempt to escape
across the Texas pan handle into New
Mexico.
Geronimo was missed from the In
dian camp for about eight hours and a
detail of soldiers from Fort Sill cap
tured him several miles out of Cache
yesterday.
The old warrior had heard of the trou-
bles of the Apaches in Arizona, who,
according to reports, have threatened
to go on the war patch. The chief says
he wanted to go with his people and
help them fight.
He has been having family troubles
lately, his eighth wife having left him.
Recently he drank liquor to excess and
lay out on the reservation all night.
Geronimo recently joined the Dutch
Reformed church to WHICH President
Roosevelt belongs, in the hopes, it is
said, of obtaining pardon.

Speakers for the
State Farmers Institute

Excellent progress has been made in
arranging the program for the next
meeting of the State Farmers Insti-
tute, and while it is not complete in all
its details many persons will be inter-
ested to learn the names of number of
the speakers who have agreed to be
present and deliver addresses.
The Hon. w. M. Hays, Assistant Sec
retary of Agriculture, will deliver two
addresses, one on the Future of the
American Farmer" and the other on
The Value of Technical Education for
the Farmer" Prof. Hays is too well
known to need an introduction to the
farmers of Virginia.
DR.. A. G. Melvin, Chief of the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry, Washington,
d. c., will discuss the Eradication of
Ticks in Virginia." which means so
much to large part of the State.
Prof. A. d. Shamel, of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, will discuss the "Im-
provement of Tobacco and other Farm
Crops" Prof. Shamel is a specialist in
his line of work, and is in a position to
give much valuable information to our
tobacco growers, and they will no doubt
be delighted at having an opportunity
to hear from one who is an authority on
this important subject.
Prof. Rommel, of the United States
Department of Agriculture, will give a
talk on the American Carriage Horse,
and what the Government is doing to
stimulate an interest in the breeding
and development of horses of this class.
DR.. S. A. Robinson, of Covesville,
Va, will read a paper on the Food
Value of Milk, " and DR.. Chas. A. Can
naday, of Roanoke, a paper on the
''City Milk Supply" These papers will
both be handled by experts in their line,
and the dairy business is growing Sc
rapidly in the State that their remarks
will certainly be listened to with much
interest and benefit.
DR.. Paul Barringer, the President
elect of the Virginia Polytechnic Insti-
tute, will also be present and discuss
the subject of can Open Field for In
dustry." Undoubtedly all of the mem
bers will be glad to have an opportunity
of meeting the new President of the
V.P.I.
Road Building will be considered in
detail by Capt. F. st. ]. Wilson, State
Highway Commissioner. This is a sub
ject of vast economic Importance and
the part the State is playing in improv-
ing our highways through the use of
convicts will undoubtedly provide one of
the most interesting features of the
meeting,
These are but few of the more i'm
portant subjects. In addition it is prop
er to state that summary of the. re-
suits of feeding over 400 head of beef
cattle, and 160 or more of hogs and
a large number of calves will be pre-
sented. There will also be a report or
the result of the work of the Depart,
ment of Field Experiments at Blacks
burg.
1t Is needless to say that there is a
treat in store for all who attend the 4th
Annual Meeting of the Virginia State
Farmers Institute.

MAY PAY MILLIONS
Judge Lands Has Final Order In Famous
Csse Ready with Exception Of Fine,
Which Many Think Will be S2e,-
100000, the Highest Limit.

Chicago, July s. AS result of the
hearing of the Standard Oil case in the
United States Court, the prediction is
made in some quarters that Judge Lam
dis will impose the maximum fine of
$29, 240, 900 which the comprny faces un-
der its recent conviction. Not a fact
was developed, it is argued, upon which
plea for clemency could be based.
1t was brought out that the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana is but one arm
of mighty corporation whose annual
earnings are from $50, 900, 5000 to $780,
600, 900. Thus, the maximum fine of
$29, 240, 900 possible under the conviction
on /, ,462 counts for the Indictment rep
resents less than one-half of its earn
ings for one year.
Lands STRENGTHENS THE RECORD.
The period covered by the Indictment,
however, was eighteen months, being
parts of three years, so this maximum
fine, it is said, would hardly be con-
strued as ''cruel and unusual punish
ment" by court of last resort. AS
Judge Lands is desirous of closing the
oil case as quickly as possible, he may
not consider the documents to be sub
mitted to him.
The information secured yesterday
may be deemed sufficient, and without
further investigation he may impose the
penalty when the tariffs which H. F.
FELTON, was ordered to produce are sub
mitted to the court tomorrow. The i'm
piled purpose of Judge Landis in bring
ing out clearly the exact status of the
lO-cent rate was also to strengthen the
record in the case.
Little, if anything, regarding this
rate cropped ont at the trial. Appar-
emily it was purposeiy withheld, as to
introduce it before a jury might have
injected error into the case.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY SILENT.
District Attorney Sims refused to
give out an intesvieW after the hearing
was closed. He declared tnat he could
not make prophecy of what would fol-
| low.
THE case is pending, until the final
judgment Of the court, - said Mr.. Sims,
''and for that reason cannot discuss
its future possibilities or the courts &C.
ton in the past. All 1 can say is that
it is the biggest prosecution have ever
had on my bands, and 1 have done the
best could to accomplish my duty as a
government attorney"
From other sources in government of
ficialdom, however, it was said that
Judge Lands has his final order in the
case ready, with the exception of insert
ing the amount of the fine, and after
the hearing it was expected this would
be the maximum.

Department Of Justice Will Ask the
Federal Court TO Name Receiver.
SUCH A COURSE MEYER
BEFORE BEEN PURSUED
Idea Is For Agent Of Government to Take
Charge and Administer Affairs Of Cor
pOratiOn According TO the Law-Same
May Be Applied to the Powder Trust
and Others.

Washington. July SIT is under
stood that the Department of Justice
has adopted a new and highly impor-
tant plan in connection with its pro-
ceedings against the so-called tobacco
trust. After asking the court to issue
subpoenas to defendants requiring
them to appear and answer the allega-
tions collected in the bill, and asking
that the monopoly complained of be de-
clared illegal and in violation of the
Sherman antitrust act, the department
in its petition, which probably will be
filed in New York within a few days,
will ask the court, if in its judgment
the interests and the facts as disclosed
demand such action, that receivers be
appointed to take charge of the busi-
ness and administer it in harmony with
law. Such a course, it is said, if
adopted, would require the receiver
taking charge of corporation to adj
minister its business with view to the
gradual disintegration of such monopoly,
that is to say, such receiver, in admin
lstering such business, would from time
to time be expected to sell and dispose
of the different property units compos.
ing such monopoly in such way as to
preserve all the essential rights of the
stockholders and at the same time ulti
mately give to the general public the
beneGt of competition between separ
ate and independent corporations ol
business. 1t Is understood that the
plan has never been before adopted il
the prosecution of trusts, but it is more
than likely that the same plan will b'
followed in dealing with the so-callet
powder trust and such other trusts, i
the peculiar facts in connection will
each would justify such action.

Distinguished Visitors From
Japaa Reach New York

New York, July 8.-A distinguished
party of Japanese naval officers who
have been studying the European dock
yards, shipyards and other establish
ments for the production of warships
material, are among the passengers to
reach New York today on the steam
ship Carmania. The party is headed by
Admiral Baron Yamamoto, of the inn
perial Japanese navy, ex-minister of
marine, and the others are members of
his official staff.
The party will be in the United States
about one month, during which time
they will be shown every consideration
by the government. Tomorrow they
will be received by the president at oys-
ter Bay and later in the week they will
be guests of the Japan Society at lunch
con at the Hotel Astor. A visit will be
paid to the jamestown Exposition be-
fore starting across the continent

War Talk Sole Topic.

Washington, July s.-fhe war spirit
is growing in military circles here. The
japanese situation is the sole topic. eff
the japanese think they can whip the
United States, " said o prominent naval
officer today, 81 shouldn't be surprised
if ske took the projected movement of
United States battleships to the Pacific
as an unfriendly act and declare war. If
after measuring her physical and finan-
cial strength Japan decided she might
get the worst, she probably will accept
the movement as it is intended by the
United States and the traditional friend
ship remain unbroken. Some day if the
United States becomes involved with
another power, We may feel japanese
enmity."

Richmond, Va, July 9.-It now seems
to be pretty well determined that the
Southern Railway company will be
forced to face many suits for damages
growing out of the recent Fourth of
July excursion to West Point, when
twenty-five hundred people were forced
to remain in the open without feed and
shelter all night because of the inability
OF the company to bring back to Rich
mond the persons that road had taken
to the resort in the morning.
These suits are to be brought on the
part of the men, women and children,
many of whom suffered from the cold
and other privations.
The company, it is said, advertised
that the excursionists were to be taken
down in the morning and brought back
in the evening.
The failure of the company to bring
the excursionists back caused the loss
of the Fifth of July as well as the
Fourth to working men.
The point is made that the excuse of
the Southern that it did not have enough
cars for the purpose is not a good one,
in as much as the company must have
known that it would take as many cars
o.bring the people back as it had to
carry them down. The company had all
day in which to prepare for this con-
tingency. Many of the contemplated
suits are now being prepared and will
probably be filed within short time.

gene Schmitz, convicted of exorting
81, IT'S from French restaurant keepers.
was today sentenced by Judge Dunno,
to five years imprisonment in San
Francisco penitentiary. The pronounc-
ing of sentence followed a dramatic
scene. After Judge Dunno had over
ruled the motion for a new trial and for
stay of sentence, he directed Mayor
Schimtz to stand up and then delivered
to him a stinging lecture for his crime.
Both Schmitz and his attorney inter
rupted to insist that the judge confine
his remarks to pronouncing sentence,
but the interruption served only to in
crease the severity of the courts re-
marks.
