to fears that the sinking Of the launch

The articles consist Of two sailors

killing of Judge Gabbert but that he
alone had started out to murder the
judge with a bomb and that this was
without any suggestion from Hay

gestion made months before.
Still another crime was confessed
by Orchard during his testimony to-

MILEAGE BOOKS DON'T SELL
THERE Is LITTLE DEMAND FOR
THEM NOWADAYS.
NO SPECIAL BENEFIT IN THEM
About One-Fourth the Commercial
Travellers Out OF Norfolk Use the
Two-cent Mileage Books, the other
Threefourths Buy Local Tickets.

The Norfolk sale OF two-cent mile
age books, good in the hands of bear
er and good for the transportation Of
any number OF persons up to the limit
OF mileage in the book, has been slow
in Norfolk railroad Offices.
It is claimed that commercial trav.
elers do not buy the books as readily
as 1t was supposed they would, travel
ing men stating that as they can buy
local tickets as needed for the same
rate charged for the books that there
is no decided advantage In the pur-
chase of the book ticket. It is esti-
mated that about a fourth of the trav-
cling men who leave Norfolk use the
mileage books while the other three
fourths now purchase local tickets.
Companies which provide transpor-
tation for their salesmen, the packing
companies in particular, are liberal
purchasers of the mileage books.
These companies do not purchase
mileage books at their home office but
send orders for the books to be deliv-
cred to the salesman at the latter's
stopping place.
When the mileage books were placed
on sale 1t was said that a heavy sale
was not looked for and 1t was not
thought that there would be the de-
mand for such tickets that there had
been for the old reduced rate mileage.
The tickets are sold by the railroad
companies in compliance with a state
law.
