POISON KILLS BABY,
VIRGIHIANS AROUSED
Victim Is Four-MonthS-Old
Infant of Fairfax Coun-
ty Family.

All OF Fairfax county is aroused today
over one of the most mysterious poison
ing cases ever brought to the attention
of the authorities.
The victim is the four-months-old
baby Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. S. Collins, of
Westwoodford, who died last night,
after lingering nearly forty hours, as the
result of being given a dose of laudanum
by an unknown person.
The poisoning Of the baby occurred
Thursday afternoon, but the fact did
not become generally known until this
morning, following the death of the
child An inquest has not been held,
but physicians, who were called in i'm
mediately following the discovery Of the
chiid's condition, pronounced it a case
of laudanum poisoning.
A bottle of laudanum, which was
usually kept on a high shelf in the
Collins home, was found to be missing
Attorney Foard, OF Fairfax county, is
at work on the case. and arrests are
expected to follow before night.
Sends Girl For Eggs.
Last Thursday, Mrs. Collins, whose
husband is attached to the Geodetic and
Coast Survey OF Washington, sent a lit
tie colored girl, named Frances Will
liams. who is fourteen years of age, to
the house Of neighbOr to buy some
eggs. Returning home, the girl, il Is
saids punched a hole ia each end Of the
fifteen eggs she had secured.
Wnen Mrs Collins discovered what
had been done, she severely scolded the
girl, and then went herself TO the house
OF another neighbOr TO buy more eggs,
leaving the girl in charge of her four
months'old baby, and her little daughter,
who is two and a half years old
A few moments later Mrs. Collins re-
turned and found the baby in deep
sleep. Ali efforts to arouse the child
tailed. Becoming alarmed, the mother
then summoned two physicians, who i'm
mediately decided that the child had
been poisoned with laudanum
Heroic efforts were made TO arouse the
BABY, but the child remained in a con-
slant state Of Inconsistencies, sue

IS PREPARING
FOR STRIKE AGAIN
Prospects for Walk-Out of
Post and Wiremen Grows
Stronger.

PARIS. May s.-The prospects of
paraIyzinR strike throughout France
were heightened today by the failure OF
the seven postmen. who on Thursday
organized the pOstmens' union, to ap-
pear before the court of discipline.
Neither did the several members Of the
court who are connected with the
postal department appear to sit with
the courl
The seven employees, who were al
ready under suspension, will undoubted-
~ be dismissed, which action Is likely
TO be followed by the immediate declar-
alton Of a strike of postmen, tele-
graphers, and telephone operators.
The charge against the postmen for
which they were cited to appear be-
fore the court Of discipline, were at
tacking the government and parliament
at a public meeting. and advocating an
anti-patriotic organization.
Every Government employe who Joins

minister Of public works. This threat
is intended to intimidate the employees.
but the strike sentiment is now almost
unanimous. Opposition TO a ssslCe by
all except the extreme socialistic press
has dampened the ardor of some of
those who were active in the former
strike, but the newspapers can hardly
be expected 10 have a deterring effect.
Railway locals are now voting on the
strike question, and the result will un-
doubtedly be in favor Of joining the post
men and the tclegraphers. The director
OF the military railway department to-
day warned the Government that his
men were not competent TO run the reg
ular trains and that but little help could
be furnished by his department.
The immense mercantile class, par
ticularly the small merchants which
seems TO be the special object of the
unions hatred, is arming in anticipation

District Attorney began today to in
vestigate tine charge brought by a
Washington woman against John
c. Davis, an attorney, alleging that
he had obtained nearly $1,000 from
her.
These Developments, fsllowing
the arrest of Davis after an exciting
chase last night, were:
The issuance of information

bezzIement and conspiracy to de-
fraud, and charging his brother,
Martin T. Davis, With conspiracy.
Stream of Callers.

totaling nearly 100000 rather than the
near 5000 originally named by the
Washington woman who asked fer
Davis arrest.
The police raided the Office Of John
c. Davis. in the Columbian building,
taking possession OF all books and pa
pers.
Immediately afterward the office Of
the Potomac Building and Loan Associ-
alton. Of which Martin T Davis Is
secretary. was taken possession of in
the same manner, and the sffce effects
moved to headquarters. A preliminary
examination of the papers of John c.
Davis furnished little help in unraveling
the present mystifying case.
The District Attorney asked that bail
be fexd at $4,000 instead of S1O.OO0. as he
first requested. The District Attorney
also asked that Martin T. Davis should
not be released on less than $4,000 bond.
Estimating of Total.
An estimate that Of the total amount
said to be involved, perhaps $4,000 was
supplied by prospective investors of
Washington and about $4,000 by people
of Alexandria. DIR. Robert L. wilkins
and William E. sisson. Of Alexandria.

former saying that he had given thc
Attorney between $4,000 and $4,000. and
the latter declaring that ne had ad-
vanced 100. The estimated the total
Alexandria advances at about $4,000.
Officials Theory.
The theory upon which the District
Attorneys office / snow working is that
John c Davis obtained the funds from
the investors and that he turned over
at least a portion of them to bis broth

It is claimed that when the insistent
lenders would demand some showing
for their investment they would be
shown or given pass books indicating
that the money had been deposited with
the Potomac company.

city cannot avoid the payment of such Judgment by refus.
ing to vote bonds. The judgment would be enforced by q
levy Of taxes on the property of the citizens. If the bonds
are voted the judgment can be paid by the proceeds of the
bonds, end the interest and expense of running the water
works will be paid out of the revenues derived from the
sale Of water, without additional taxes on the property Of
the city.
NUMBER 1s-
It must be remembered that the valuation, $685. 600,
includes the whole plant of the water company in the city
of Omaha, South Omaha, Florence and Dundee, and not
merely the portion pertaining to the city of Omaha. The
bonds for 100000 heretofore voted concerned alone the
portion of the plant in the city of Omaha and the pumping
station at Florence.
NUMBER IA
The voting of these bonds will defeat the effort of the
Omaha Water Company and the Omaha syndicate to Sc
cure q franchise, and will secure municipal ownership for
the people at the earliest date possible.
These are a few of the reasons why we unanimously urge
the voting of these bonds.
We have given the matter our best consideration, and
believe good business Judgment dictates the approval of the
bonds,
