MINISTER CHARGED WITH MUIR
DER.

At the third a+journed session of the
coroner's jury In Suffolk which has
been investigating the dsa!h Of Rev.
James L. Smith, colored, who had been
mysteriously missing from his flock at
Reids Ferry, Va, since last August, a
verdict was brought 10 yesterday that
Smith had come to bis death from the
effects of blow from blunt instrument
In the hands OF Rev. Ernest Lyons, also
colored, who already Is in custody. No
hail va. allowed. BJth preachers were
followers of the "ssncti6ed" sect, and
Lyons Is alleged to have killed Smith to
secure the psstorate, which he did.
Lyons explained the absence of Smith
by saying that his father was i'll iu Will
son, N. O., that he had gone of to get
married, that he had trouble about a
femsle member of his flock, that be
could not raise $40 conference dues, and
that be was conducting revival In New
port News. Smiths body was buried
aud afterWard dismembered and thrown
into Nsnsemond river, where it wss
found, buried by the county, but again
taken up when q clew pointed to foul
play.

AUTO LAWS ARE

State Loses Income From Fail

Requirements
BY K. K. PHOmmedieu

Ihe present automobile laws OF the
state, although good in many respects,
are sadly lacking in others The law
which requires that purchaser OF an
automobile must register the same
within five days after purchase of the
same is one of the most important
and yet one that Is most freqilently
violated. There is a vanity about the
Iact that ones register number is OF
low denomination. Automobilists seem
to believe that it is an outward sign
tnat they are veterans in the game,
and although buying cars of a later
make than the one for which the orig
maj number was issued continue TO
dispiay the original number. Some do
this out of vanity and others do not
want to give up the So required by
law The police authorities of the
state DO not pay any attention to this
part or the law. AS long as an auto
mobile displays a number that con-
quired by law the owner can go unmo-
