Story Told by Anderson.
Before he became ungovernable, An
derson told the authorities that he had
been awakened about O'Clock in the
morning by his wife screaming and
by the report of a revolver. He said
he jumped out of bed in time to see
figure run down the hallway and
down the back stairs. He says he fol-
lowed and saw the figure disappear
in the darkness behind the hedge in
front of the house. Neighbors who
were reused by the calls for help, say
they found him on the lawn screaming
and calling the name of his wife. He
seemed to be hysterical and it was
with difficulty that they could learn
anything from him. They were afraid
to enter the house and sent word to

of the body.
No Foot Prints Could be Found.
Anderson told those who responded
to his calls that the man he saw ran
across the lawn and he attempted to
point out the way the slayer had taken,
but though thorough search was made.
no trace of footprints could be found,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
ground was soft from recent rain.
Neither could an opening in the hedge
be found
A broken lock on kitchen window
and faint marks on the outside, as
though made by a chissel or Jimmy"
were pointed. out by Anderson as proof
of the way through which the burglar
entered. Neighbors, however, say the
lock had been broken for several
days. They further assert that when
they arrived this window was closed
and the back door open. A close
search of the room and the premises
failed to disclose the revolver with
which the murder was committed.

Many People Are Giving En-
enlargement to Mayor
SchiIIinger'S Idea.
COMING BEFORE COUNCIL
AT THE MEETING ON NEXT MON
DAY NIGHT THE cITY's ExEcU-
TIVE WILL PRESENT HIS PLANS.

AS means of showing the senti-
ment that prevails among a great
many people relative to Mayor Schil-
fingers proposition to rebuild or re-
model the city's market house, on
South Sixth street, and to provide bet
ter facilities at the East End market,
it might be said that the members of
the Board of Works and the Mayor
also are receiving almost daily words
of encouragement from citizens who
have hoped for years to see the pro-
posed improvements brought about.
Next Monday night the City Coun-
ell will be given its first opportunity
to discuss the market house matter.
Mayor Schillinger said yesterday that
he would present the proposition at
this meeting and it is likely that he
will also suggest a means by which
the proposed changes may be brought
about without Gripping the city's
finances.

on the Validity of Peddling
Ordinance.
SHIVELEY FOR DEFENSE,
HE ALLEGES THAT THE ORDI-
NANCE is UNCONSTITUTIONA
IN THAT 1T DIScRIMINATES-
AN APPEAL is THREATENED.

Judge Converse at the conclusion of
arguments presented in the case of
the city of Richmond against Henry
Zuttermeister, Ford Curry and Harry
Partridge, charged with violating a
city ordinance by peddling bananas
from house to house, announced that
he would give due consideration to
the points of law involved and an
nounce his decision later
Attorney Ray K Shiveley, appear
ed for the defendants, and in his ar
gument made the contention that the
ordinance in question was class legis-
lation in that it Disseminated against
the peddling of fruits and vegetables,
though permitting meat dealers, milk
dealers, etc, to vend their wares
from door to door without interior
ence.
Attorney Shiveley made motion
that the affidavit charging his clients
with violating the ordinance be quash-
ed. 1t is understood that the defend
ants will carry the case to the higher
courts should the finding of the court
be against them.

1T is CLAIMED THAT BLOCK SIG
NAL SYSTEM is BEING OPER-
ATED IN A MOST CARELESS
MANNER.
Publishers Press.J


Washington. Dec. 31.-The Inter
state Commercial Commission is con-
sidering the question whether, under
a recent congressional resolution di-
recting an investigation on the oper-
alton of the block signal system of
the country, it has not authority to
make rigid investigation into the
shocking wreck on the Baltimore and
Ohio at the edge of the city limits
last night
1t may decide to have an expert
present at the coroner's inquest
which is to be held Wednesday. Feel
ing is running high in official circles
brought up for discussion in congress
Immediately upon reconvening on
Thursday.
Astounding statements made by the
experts of the Commission today are
to the effect that the people of the
country have been misled, that the
block signal systems are adding to
the safety of travel.
1t is charged that the rules gov
erning the system are flagrantly vio-
lated in order that the railroads may
do more business at the expense of
safety; that over worked and under
paid men are placed at the towers to
signal trains; and that excessively
long hours and discomforts in the
method of living combine to nullify
the benefits that are expected to be
derived from legislation

manding in loud tones to speak to
the Judge

seat, where she remained quietly until

clerks explained to Justice OlmStead
what the woman wanted.

Large Audience Sees Famous
Actress in Shakespeare's
"MaCbeth."
WAS GIVEN TWO BOQUETS.
AND ALL COMBINED TO MAKE
VISIT A MOST PLEASING ONE
x. OF c. THERE.

A fitting testimonial was given to
Madame Helena Modjeska at her
farewell appearance here in Mac
BETH at the Gennett last night An
unusually large audience was pres
ent and the play was received with
the greatest of enthusiasm Modjeska
was especially effective in her por-
trayal of Lady Macbeth. The famous
actress, will no doubt carry fond
memories of her visit here for two
of the most beautiful floral offerings
ever given to an actress at the Gen
nett We're presented to her. One was
a large bouquet of Richmond roses
with their natural length of stem,
while the other bouquet fully as large
was of delicate pink roses.
Many of the members of the
knights of Columbus with their wives
and lady friends attended, occupying
seats on the lower floor. This was
done as a tribute to Modieska in re-
turn for her favors at the last Ma
tional convention of the order at Los
Angeles.
The Palladium cannot give a long
criticism of the play. Suffice to say it
equalled if not excelled Ben Greet's
production of the same tragedy here
last sason. Company, scenery, cos
tunes and all combined to make Mo-
jeska's farewell a most favorable one
