W0MAN's CLOTHES
TORN FROM BODY
In This Way Only Could Flames
That developed Her Be
Put Out.

While ne immediate serious conse-
qnences are anticipated. doctors at
the Virginia hospital fear that Mrs.
Lillian Childreas. "a years old, can
not recover from the effects OF burns
she sustained Wednesday afternoon
while washing clothes on her premises
on Darbytown Road.
Mrs. Childress. II appears, was in the
act Of handling a kettle OF water over
an open fire in the yard when her
apron suddenly caught fire. Screaming
in terror. she rushed to her mother
nearby and while the latter was en-
deavoring to put out the flames she
ran off In another direction toward
her brother in-law who finally sue
ceeded in relieving her terror by ac-
tually tearing the clothes from her
body.
On examination. physicians found
that Mrs. Childress. who is the mother
Of several small children, had been
fearfully burned about the arms. body
and chest Mr.. Earnest Childress. her
husband. was net ut home at the time.
Mrs. Childress was hurried into the
city In a spring wagon to Virginia
hospital where it was stated Thursday
morning that, although she appeared
| to have recovered somewhat from
shock incident to the burns, she was
suffering greatly. II was feared that
she had inhaled some of the flames
but examination proved that these
! fears were ungrounded, IL Is said.
The doctors cay that had Mrs.
Chiidress stood sttli. instead Of tanning
the flames by running about her prem
ises she could probably have put out
herself before being burned seriously.

HUSBAND MUST TAKE
CARE OF HIS WIFE
Under the New Law Justice
Crutchfeld Works Thursday
Morning.

For the first time since the Legis-
lature enacted a law that compels a
husband to support his wife. whether
the wife lives with him or not a case
OF this kind was brought into Police
Court Thursday and was continued
until the 21st, there being very con-
fiicting statements made.
Mrs David GILLIAN accused her
husband of non-support. She alleged
that he had been out at night and
had not properly supported her; yet
she said on the witness stand that
she would not go back to his home
and live with him,
Justice Crutchheld was in a guam
Diary until Commonwealth Attorney
Mlnetree Folkes came to his assist

gave a magistrate the right to make
husband pay alimony.

that has been brought here" said

ALL MUST BLOW
THE SAME TUNE
Ordinance Proposed Requiring
Use of Automobile Owners of
Uniform Signals.

If an ordinance which will be In
trcduced on the floor Of the city coun-
ell be enacted all automobile owners
will. under penalty of law, be re-
CURED to equip their machines with
uniform signals or horns--a law now
In force In several of the larger
cities.
At present there Is considerable
rivalry among automobile owners
over the ioudness and unique fea-
lures Of their horns. One machine
Will foot. another emits honks like
mastcdon gander. another shrills ana
shrieks while q fourth gives vent to
unearthly yells sufficient to make a
dead horse rise up out OF his grave
and run away.
Members OF the council recognize
that horses in Richmond would soon
become accustomed TO uniform
signal. and that in a very short time
but little danger would result. II
is shown. however. that town horses
would never cease to be frightened
by the constant multiplicity and
variety of noises that now assail his
ears, and to remedy this and make
traffic saner and safer within the city
linaits a determined night will be mace
by the more conservative councilmen
for the passage OF the ordinance,

JOSEPH VENDING
CAUGHT in FRISCO
Has Been Captured and Has Ad-
mitted His Identity.
by Associated PreSs.)


San Francisco, July 30.-Joseph
Vending, wanted in Louisville in con-
nection with the murder of Alma Kell-
ner, was taken into custody this morn
ing. He admitted his identity.
The arrest came as a surprise. 1t
was announced two days ago that
Vending was believed to be in San
Francisco, and when this announce
ment was published in the newspapers
detectives trailing Vending said that
the man read of his being watched
and gave them the slip.
Vending was captured in Third
street lodging house by two detectives
of the local headquarters office. He
made no resistance, and the officers
say that he admitted to them that he
was Vending. The detectives are
now endeavoring to secure a confes-
sion from him; but up to late hour
this afternoon he continued to deny
his guilt.
