Under circumstances OF such a
Suspicious nature that the police
are by no means satisfied with the
story OF suicide told them By Wit.
neeaes. Peter Adolphson. a laborer,
about 40 years old. met his death
this afternoon IN room IN the
Western hotel First Az. 8. and
" Washington ~. Unul these cir
cumstances are explained. Mrs. ".
&. Olster and Mrs.. Paul Grew, who
we're taken into custody shortly
after Adolphson came To hts tragic
end. will be detained az the city
prison. They tell exactly the same
STORY OF the incidents leading up
10 the tragedy. but Il Is not borne
out BY the position In which the
dead man Was found.
Third Woman.
According 20 the women. they,
with a third woman. whose name
Is not known, we're In Mrs, Olsters
room. where she was In bed. when
Adolphaon entered. lie was very
drunk. they say. aud without pre-
nmlnary words he staggered to a
corner. drew a sreyolver and de-
clared his intention or blowing out
his brains. Screaming IN sfright,
the women rushed from the room,
and had barely reached the hall
when they heard shot. Employees
OF the hotel quickly gathered and
on entering the room found Adolph-
son lying dead across the bed.
Suspicious Points.
The suspicious points about the
affair are that Adolphson, though
a rlght.handed man. was shot IN
the left ear. while the pistol with
which the fatal shot was fired lay
under the bed Death was un.
doubtedly instantaneous, and the
police do not understand how he
could have hurled the pistol under
the bed. or why he should have
chosen 70 fire the weapon with his
left hand.

VIII Aid Virginia Truckers.

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 30.-Great IN
terest is being manifested in the new
experiment station now being com
pleted in Princess Anne county, when
will be devoted to experiments OF
value to truck farmers. The interest,"
is general, owing to the fact that IL Is
the first experiment farm to be estap-
lished devoted exclusively to trucking
crops. .,.ov
The trucking interests in Underwater
Virginia are elated over the establish
ment of the station.
The State Agricultural Board has
made an annual appropriation OF s5,oOC
for the station, the Southern Produce
Company has set aside $500 to assist
in the establishment of the station,
and the Agricultural Department, OF
the Federal Government is pledged 10
contribute in various ways to the WORK:
Prof II. @. Johnson, formerly oi
Cornell and of the West Virginia Z III
versity. has been secured to take
charge of the station. There are %
acres of land in the farm, and IL Is au,
mirably adapted to the cultivation u

Moro than 1000 farm laborers and
domestics came to Virginia during the
last wear. all of them coming from
England, Ireland, Scotland, Norway y;
Immigration; Hnn says that one-half OF
these did not report to his office, but
that thew came as a result of his al,
vertising and soliciting in Europe ana
in response to letters from those who
came here and who were given homes
through the office of the commissioner II
of agriculture. There are very few OF
those who came here who are not
pleased with their surroundings, and
far less than per cent. of those VINO
came have returned. More are eA-
pected to arrive during this year.

Gen. Charles J. Anderson, adlutant-
general. has made public letter
Which he has sent to all the members
of the General Assembly setting forth
the claims of the militia of the State
and asking for an increase of $50, 900
in the appropriation allowed by + the ne
State and urging the amendment OF
the military laws so that the provi-
sions of the Dick bill will apply to
this State and enable the troops to
receive the sum of $50, 600 year from
the national government. Under the
provisions of the Dick bill the laws
viii have to be changed prior to Janu-
ary 21, so that this will be one OF 1ne
first measures to receive attention at
the hands of the incoming Legislature;
The impression is that the bill Will
become a law.
