FAST MILES ARE
LOOKED FOR At
T0OAYS RACES
Matinee Goers Expect Track
Records to Go at Wee
quahic Park.
BY w. E. ERLER.

Great preparations have been made
by every one concerned for the matinee
of the Road Drivers Association today.
Every trainer on the grounds has his
charges cooked and Hrimed for a SUI
preme effort, and in all probability it
will be the greatest meeting ever run
off by the organization. Superintend-
ont Bross las spent considerable time
and labor on the track this week, and
it is lightning fast and in a condition
that will please the most fastidious
track driver. AS stated above the ma
iority of horses are in fine shape. Lady
Elkwood, however, one of the favorites
in the 2:25 pace, struck herself in her
work this week and will not start, as
she is to valuable a mare to take any
chances with, when not in a prime con-
dition.
That fast-hoppled PAGER from Fattin-
son has been drawn in the same class,
as she is being prepared to stand for
the change, and her trainer wont stand
for matinee racing at this stage Of the
game ard the owner wont interfere
with the trainers plans. Chief, the
fast black eeldins, is the victim nf a
b~lacksmith's error. which has put llin
out of the running in the 2:l9 trot ard
pace. 1t is barely possible, however
that he may start. Florence G.. the
bay mare in the stable OF Ike Hullv,
is going sound. and will be the %favorlte
in the 2:24 trot, and Prince Of Orange
and Gyd Walnut, who will start Or
record-breaking trips, never looked
better. Both are up to a very fast mic.

CRIMINALS MEN OF SCIENCE.
To OutWit Them Detectives Must
Make Use of Modern Methods.

The methcdl employed by criminals
have improved" '4Aey have be-
come scientific. The criminal of to-
day handles chloroform, opium,
morphia, with all the cleverness of
physician.
Again, the tools used by the modern
Jail bird are unrivaled masterpieces.
One amazing proof of the scientific
knowledge of the modern criminal and
his keenness in keeping abreast Of
modern discoveries lies in the follow
ing fact: Recently in Marseilles the
huge safe of a bank was rapidly
opened by means Of complicated APP
paratus which had only been invented
by prominent engineer ten months
previously!
But the detective also avails him
self of scientific discovery. Forrsar-
ly in cases of forgery, for instanSs. a
drop of water was placed on the
forged words. If the paper had been
scratched and its size removed the
water was Immediately sucked in; If
the paper had not been scratched the
drop remained for awhile on the top.
This process was primitive and spoiled
the document.
Nowadays the suspicious paper Is
photographed and on the proof the
marks of scratching are easily detect
ed by clear differences in the color.
Photography is used also in the case
Of forgeries made by means of chem
icals.
When heap of burned documents
is found in the fireplace thin sheets OF
glass are inserted between the burned
papers. AS soon as one sheet is on the
glass 1t is rendered less brittle by
means of special liquid and 1t is
unfolded and photographed. The
process is repeated with every sheet,
and after few hours all the docu-
ments are easily read
A process formerly used for the
classification Of blood stains consist
ed In examining them under the mi
croscope and from the appearance Of
the red globules the Investigators
would draw their conclusions as to the
nature Of the blood. Unfortunately
this examination gave no result when
the blood stains were not recent.
To-day a more .ssfentif1c method is
used. The staiA& washed; few
drops Of the water used are poured
into a tube containing some specific
serum from q rabbit inosulated with
human blood. When the addition Of
water produces in the serum fine de-
post and gives misty appearance
to the liquid one can be perfectly GER
tain that the blood stains were human.

Bucklin and will move his family from

Decoration day was fair, with a little
more wind than was absolutely necessary
for comfort but a very fair day. There
was large number Of people In Bucklin
perhaps the largest that was ever In
Bucklin at any one time before. The
parade was formed on North Main
street at 300 O'Clock a. m. and 1t was a
long one, when the head Of the column
reached the cemetery the rear was hard
| ly out of town. There was q little mis-
hap on the road to the cemetery, one Of
The floats broke down. There were some
pinched feet and some pretty badly
scared folks but no one was badly hurt.
At the cemetery everything moved
smoothly, the services were impressive,
The music was furnished by the Ford
and Bucklin bands. On the return trip
when the head OF the column had reached
a point just north Of the M. Z. church a
runaway team attached to an empty
lumber wagon, came tearing down the
street meeting them. II looked for a
minute as though some one must get
hurt but they did not, the team was turn
ed intoa cross street and the column
moved on again. The afternoon exer-
cises were held In large tent procured
for the occasion, because there was no
building available that was large enough
and by the way the tent was not large
enough to accommodate more than about
half OF the people. The exercises of the
afternoon and evening consisted of ap.
proprate songs, music by the Ford and
Bucklin bands, drills, Rotations and adj
dresses. The address of the afternoon
was made by A. j. Bolts of Coldwater,
and in the evening by the Rev. c. K.
Williams of Bucklin. Every thing pass
ed off nicely and the people seemed to
enjoy the day very much and will want
to come again year hence and pass
another decoration day with us.

IMPORTANT CASE DECIDED
By the Supreme Court Of Appeals Of
Virginia.

The Supreme Court of Appeals of
Virginia at Richmond on last Thursday
decided the case of Livie E. Johnson
ct. ais. VS.. Taze Smith.
The case was taken to that court
from the circuit court of Tazewell coun-
ty, and it involved title to about all the
property on which the village of Pound
ing Mill, twelve miles west of TazeWell,
is located.
Prior to the Civil War, Thomas Davis,
citizen of this county, residing near
Pounding Mill, died and left a will dis
posing of considerable real and personal
property. The case just decided by the
Court of Appeals arose under certain
clauses in the will. They are as fox
lowsl
al give and bequeath to my daugh-
ter, Rebecca Caroline Davis, the re-
naming portion of land that ] pur-
chased from James Davis, supposed to
be 80 or 95 acres, likewise a 60 acre
tract that l purchased from Thomas
Gillespie east of the James DAVIS tract;
further | give to her six negroes, Nell
son, Sylvia, Charles, Margaret, Stephen
and Fielding, and their future increase.
ITO have and to hold said lands and
negroes during her natural life, then
the heirs Of her body, if any, if no chill
dren to her SISTERS"
A subsequent clause in the said will
Of Thomas Davis was as follows;
81 desire that TO sale made by any of
my daughters of the aforesaid land or
negroes shall be firm and valid or bind
ing, unless the sale is made when single
or become widows, except for their
own convenience may change land with
each other"
Rebecca Caroline Davis after she
came into the estate devised to her by
her father, married. She subsequently
became widow, and during her widow
hood, sold the land which is involved in
controversy in the case of johnson ct.
ais. vs.. Taze Smith.
The contention of the plaintiffs was
that the will of Thomas Davis vested q
life estate in the devisees, his daugh-
ters. The defendant claimed that the
subsequent clause in the will vested ar
estate in fee by giving his daughters
power to sell the land when single OF
widows.
The circuit court of Tazewell county
decided that Rebecca Davis took fes
simple estate under the will of hel
father and that the sale of land made
by her when a widow was valid anC
binding. The Court of Appeals has af
frmed the decision of Judge Henson
and settled the titles of number O.
interested parties at Pounding Mill.
Taze Smith and the other interestet
parties were represented by H. C. Al
lderson and Harman & Pobst.

TEN KILLED
20 INJURED
Fatal Explosion Occurs on the Cotton
Packet H. N Carter.

New Orleans, Nov % Ten or more
persons are dead and twice that number
were injured yesterday when a boiler
on the Mississippi River steamboat, H
Nj. Carter, exploded near Bayou Goula,
about hundred miles north of New
Orleans. The steamer was on the way
to Baton Rouge from New Orleans
when the accident occlrredx There
were about fifty passengers aboard.
Fire added horror to the disaster and
the boat was burned to the waters
edge. Reliable reports from Bayou
Goula are to the effect that between
twelve ard fifteen persons are missing.
About the same number were badly
scalded, and 1t Is expected that several
of these will die.
The H. M. Carter, a stern wheeler,
one hundred and sixty-five feet long,
was a cotton packet and was built in
1906. This is the most serious river
disaster in fifteen years and the first
accident attended by so large loss of
life on any steamboat operating out of
New Orleans.

PARSONS MAKES DEMAND.
Asks CanVaSSiDS Board to Include Floyd
County in Fifth District.

Richmond, Va. November %. John
M. Parsons, Republican, defeated for
Congress in the Fifth District by Judge
E. W. Saunders, Democrat, today filed
demand with the State Board of Cam
vassers to have Floyd county included
in the Fifth District, on the ground that
the General Assembly of Virginia, in
redistricting the State and placing that
county in the Sixth District, was acting
without warrant of law and contrary
to the constitutions of both the State
and the United States, and that such
redistricting act should be declared
void.
This is a question over which the
board has no jurisdiction, however. and
a certificate of election was accordingly
awarded Judge Saunders. Certificates
were also awarded to the other eight
Democratic Congressman elected, and
to C. Bascomb Slemp. of the Ninth
District, the only Republican Represen-
tative in Congress from Virginia.
There appears to be hardly any doubt
but that Mr.. Parsons will contest the
election of Judge Saunders. The re-
districting bill of the recent Legisla-
ture, which took Floyd county out OF
the Fifth District, will probably be the
basic point of his contest. But he will
also make the assertion that the candi-
dacy of Matthews, lunatic, who has
both before and since been an inmate
of an insane asylum, was a move on the
part of the Democrats to insure his de-
feat by splitting the Republican vote in
the district. With the help of Floyd
county, which is Republican, Parsons
would have been elected.
