MURDER PROOF AT GRAVE.
Evidence Hatpin Reached Heart Of
Andrews at Roanoke.

ROANOKE, Va, January 14.-There
were sensational developments yesterday
In connection with the strange death of
William A. Andrews, the young white
man whose dead body was found hanging
to a tree on Mill mountain. on the out
skirts Of Roanoke. last Sunday. An
dreWs was. married here Sunday of Christ
mas week, and left his bride Monday of
last week to go to work. He was not
seen again until his frozen body was
found Sunday hanging to a tree. The
feet were touching the ground and the
mans hat was on his head. The body
was shipped to Bedford county Monday
for burial.
Relatives there grew suspicious and de-
layed interment until yesterday. At the
grave an uncle of the dead man demand
ed an investigation, which was made by
DIR. Kabler, and, it is said. this resulted
in finding a number of small holes in the
breast, one of them penetrating the
heart The wounds evidently were made
with hatpin.
1t is believed by many that Andrews
was murdered before being strung up. 1t
is alleged his life had been threatened if
he married the girl whom he welded.

KING OF SPAIN IS To FLY
HIRES WRIGHT TO TEACH HIM
HOW TO DO 1T.
He Has an Aeroplane Already and
Defies Official Warnings-Wright
Brothers to Come Home.

PARIS, January 14-Alfonso, King OF
Spain. is preparing to become an adept
in the art of flying. He has already
acquired an aeroplane of the Wright
model and is soon to become a pupil OF
Wilbur Wright.
Alfonso has an ambition to live in his
tory as the first monarch who ever navi-
gated the air as pilot of his own aero
plane. When he has finished his course
of instructions under Wright he means
to travel about the immediate neighbor-
hood of Madrid in an aeropIane instead
of in an automobile.
Representations made by court officials
respecting the risk to his life have had no
effect upon him, the king takes much
pride in being up to date in matters Of
sport Where he got his flying machine
is mystery. 1t is thought the machine
was manufactured for him i'm the aero
plane workshop of Leon Bolle at lie Mans
last autumn
His engagement as tutor to the King
of Spain is one of the reasons why Wright
will be unable to carry out his project Of
giving public exhibitions at the aero
drome of Juvisy for the benefit of the
Italian earthquake sufferers.
He says his aeroplane has been shipped
to Pau, where he must train three pupils
according to his contract with the French
company which owns the rights i'm his
patent for this country. Alfonso will be
his fourth pupil as soon as he has finished
his work at Pau.
Much regret is felt in Paris that no
more exhibitions in flying are likely to
be given by Wright in or near this city
Orville Wright, who has just arrived
here. says that the sums of money to be
gained by them are too large to permit
him and his brother to daily much longer

Has Not Received Credit Due Him.
In his, quiet way Mr.. Ryan has done
many things for the public good for
which he has never received a word of
credit. In the fall of 1907, during the
early days of the panic, he worked with
J. Pierpont Morgan, James Stillman and
George F. Baker in strengthening the
threatened banks and allaying an excite
ment which would have carried down
many solvent institutions His great
resources, his financial genius and all
of his energy were devoted to the work
of checking the panic before it got be-
yond control. For days he slept no more
than two or four hours out of the TWEEN
ty-four. No one worked harder or more
effectively yet Mr.. Ryan's name was
never mentioned among those who saved
the day" One of his friends, annoyed
at seeing credit going to others who were
much less deserving. suggested to him
that he allow the public to know what
he had been doing.
No" he replied with a grim smile. "a
lot of people wouldn't believe It, so say
nothing about 1t"

His Virginia Plantation.

His Virginia Plantation.
His particular pride is his plantation
at Oak Ridge. close by his birthplace at
Lovingston, to which he now intends to
retire. 1t is considered the most beauti-
full home in Virginia, and is surrounded
by an estate of 1000 acres, laid out by
a landscape artist. He has some of the
best OF blooded stock, the star of which is
Highland Eagle, the most celebrated of
saddle stations, horses and cattle, thor
Oughbred dogs. On his last trip from
Europe he brought over four great st.
Bernards for breeding purposes. The
sentimental side of Mr.. Ryans nature is
seen everywhere about the place. The
magnificent house was built around the
old one so that the latter was entirely
preserved; the little power house, which
runs the electric light plant, is an exact
reproduction of an old blacksmith shop
in which Mr. Ryan played when a boy.
The only modern looking structure on the
place is a schoolhouse built for his en-
ployes
Mr.. Ryan goes to Oak Ridge for rest
and recreation. 1t is his retreat from
care and responsibility. He will transact
no business there nor allow business to
be talked of. He knows every animal on
the farm and they all know him. He
spends hours every day among them.
patting them and talking to them. Next
to his farm he enjoys visiting among
the old friends and neighbors of his
childhood, every one of whom calls him
'Tom,'' and would be rebuked if he
didn't, and having the negroes sing old
plantation melodies. When he is in his
New York home, longing for the quiet
of Oak Ridge, he stretches out on
couch, turns on a photograph and lis
tens by the hour to old songs of the
south.
Believes in Future of the South.
He has residence in the old-fashioned
part of 9Th avenue, New York, and an
other In Washington which formerly be-
longed to Reverdy Johnson and Harriet
Lane Johnston, who presided over the
White House while her uncle, James
Buchanan, was President. Mr. Ryan is
deeply religious, and has a private chap
ell in each of his homes, including the one
in Washington.
He is a firm believer in the future of
the south. But for the civil war, he
says, all of the great trunk lines would
have been built from north to south in
stead of from east to west. However, In
his view the south does not now need
more railroads as much as it needs better

When district court was convened,
this morning, the damage cases of A.
A. Andrews vs.. the Northwestern
Telephone Exchange company and
A. F.. Harris, as manager of the
company, were taken up and after
some of the testimony had been in
trodnced by the defendent, the
cases were dismissed, at the request
of the plaintiff.
In these suits, Mr.. Andrews
sought to recover the sum of 5000
in each, that against Mr.. Harris
being for alleged slanderous words
used by the defendant against the
plaintiff; that against the company
being for damages incurred from
moving telephones from Mr.. An
drews' O fiji &c and residence.
Whether Mr.. Andrews will start
new suits is not known.
Mr.. Andrews had associated with
him in the trial of the cases, Henry
Funk]ey and E. E. Mcdonald of
this city, while the company and Mr..
Harris were represented by John I.
Dilley of Minneapolis and John F.
Gibbons of this city.

Gagnon was taken up, J. H. May
bury and Mr.. Judson, of the firm of
Judson & Fulton, both of Crookston,

ments were submitted this afternooa.

lin, the court set aside the order
of the justice forfeiting the bail

Winona, Mimi, Sept. 2O.-In the
most important utterance he has made
since his occupancy of the White
House President Taft here, in state
which is the hotbed Of the "insurgent"
movement within the Republican
party, defended the Payne tariff bill
as the best tariff measure ever passed
by a Republican congress and hence
the best tariff bill the people have
ever known.
The president boldly asserted that
the insurgents who voted against the
bill had abandoned the Republican
party.
"Was it the duty of the member of
congress who. believed that the bill
did not accomplish everything that 1t
ought to accomplish, to vote against
it," asked the president.

country, the interests of the party, re-
