A NEW MOVEMENT Or
VIRGINIA FARMERS
They Organize to Promote Improve
ment Of Roads, Agriculture,
Schools, Transportation and
Sanitary Conditions.

Washington, July 6.-Under tn.
guidance of the Southern Commercial
Congress, a "Graeter Prince George
League" was organized in Disputanta
Prince George county, Virginia, on
June 20. The purposes of the new
league are to unite the progressive
forces of the county for local develop
ment. Bohemian and German immi.
grafton having already benefited the
county is to be encouraged, and com
mittees OF the league will immediate

provements, and attempt TO center
public attention on the agricultural,
school, transportation and sanitary
needs Of the county. The league is
affiliated with the Southern CONNER
cial Congress and will do for Prince
George county what the congress, as
a national movement, is doing for the
whole South.
The Greater Prince George League
is the first of its kind to be organized
in Virginia, and owes its success to
the county board OF supervisors,
through whom the preliminaries we're
conducted with the Southern CONNER
cial Congress and the Prince George
Business Mems Association. After a
conference between the Southern Com
mercial Congress and the board of
supervisors late in April, a joint meet
ing of the board of supervisors with
a select committee composed Of two
citizens from each of the five county
districts, the Prince George Business
Mems Association and the Southern
Commercial Congress was arranged
for June 20 in Disputanta. At this
meeting the Southern Commercial
Congress was represented by Leroy
Hodges, commissioner of immigration,
who outlined the new work of the
league and discussed the labor and
immigration needs of the county.
An executive committee was elect
ed, composed of the officers, with the
president as chairman, and three men 1
from each county district. A mass |
meeting of the citizens of Prince
George is to be called later in the
to perfect a permanent organiza-
ton, at which time a number OF PROM
inent men will speak, including the |
governor Of Virginia, officials of the |
Southern Commercial Congress and
government officials.

Golden, Cole, Dee 52N,-- Following
the testimony of Mrs. Concetta For
gione, an alleged eye witness of the
murder of Mrs Maria LaGuardia last
August, for which Mrs. Angelina Car
ramone is on trial here the proseeu-
tion closed the second day of the trial
by putting on half a dozen witnesses
in an attempt to prove that Mrs. Gar
ramone and three companions were
in this city on the morning of the
murder. The object of the prosecution,
IL was said, was to forestall any at
tempt on the part of the defense to
establish an allbi.
Mrs. Forglone's daughter Stella, an
other alleged eyewitness, will be plac-
ed on the stand tomorrow to corrobo-
rate her mothers statement as to how
the murder was committed.
Mrs. Forgione the first witness call
ed today. told her story of seeing Mrs.
Garramone cut Mr.. LaGuardias throat
with a butcher knife. Her narrative
varied only In few minor details
from the story she told the sheriff
and district attorney three months
ago. She told of coming to Golden on
August 49, with her daughter. Mrs.
Garramone, Mrs. LaGuerdia the
baby and Cellanto. She said the par
ty spent the day looking about the
hills ostensibly in search of Mrs. La
Guardla's husband.
Next day the witness said, the four
women went to the top of Table
mountain to find LaGuardia. In an eX-
cited vein Mrs. Forgione told how
Mrs. LaGuardia, becoming suspicious
of Mrs. Garramone, began to walk
hurriedly down the mountain, and
how Mrs. GarramOne ran after her,
catching UP with her at the edge Of
a deep arroya The rest of her testi-
mony dealt with the oft repeated story
as to how Mrs. Garramone induced
Mrs. LaGuardia to lift her veil on the
pretense that there was an insect on
her neck, and that Mr.. Garramone
caught her victim about the head with
her left hand and with her right hand
drew the butcher knife across Mrs
LaGuardia's throat.
"She then took roll of money
from Marias dress, testified Mrs.
Irorgione "and gave me and Stella
part of it, and made us swear to
keep still We then went to the rail
road and Angelina made Stella put

declared that the agreement between
the companies affects foreign com

divert part thereof from the natural
channels of free competition into fix

added, obtain not that which would

R|CHEsON TRIES To
EMASCULATE
HIMSELF
Boston Clergyman Accused of
Murder InfIictS Serious In
jury With Piece of TIM Doc
tors Complete Operation.

lBy Morning Journal Special Leased Wire.1
Boston, Dec. 20.-Cries and groans
breaking the stiffness OF the early
morning hours at the Charles street
Jail, today led to the discovery that
Rev. Charles V. T. Richeson, awaiting
trial on the charge of having muir
dered Miss Avis Linnell. had mutilat-
ed himself severely with a piece OF
tin.
So serious was the wound that IL
was found necessary to perform an
operation Immediately.
Later in the day the surgeons said
the operation was entirely successful
and that unless blood poisoning de-
veloped the prisoner would probably
recover within two weeks
County authorities, Jail officials
and counsel for Richeson refused 10
comment upon the possible mental
processes that led the accused man TO
the determination TO injure himself,
or what influence his act might have
upon future legal proceedings in his
case.
District Attorney Pelletier, who will
have charge of Richesons trial, set
for January 10, made brief state
ment in which he asserted that the
trial would begin on the date as
signed.
The district attorneys declaration
that Richeson would be strong
enough to appear in court on jan
uary Is, was corroborated by one or
the surgeons who attended the
prisoner
Although Richesons counsel would
give no intimation whether the de-
fense would seek a postponement or
take any other action because OF
Richeson's act, they did say that the
accused clergyman had wounded him
self in an attempt at emasculation. !.
1t was about a. m. when jail
attendant heard Richeson crying:
Doctor, oh, doctor, come; DOCTOR
quick"
He summoned two attendants and
they found the prisoner lying on the
floor bleeding and suffering intense
pain.
BJ -Moa, 900 shrdlu etao etao $
i've cut myself-Fm bleeding to
death" Richeson told them.
The prison doctor said an immed-
late operation was necessary and
three surgeons were sent for. The
operation occupied considerable time
and at its conclusion it was an
nounced that it had been suecessfui
and that the prisoner was expected 10
make a speedy recovery.
1t was through a short term pris-
oner who was released today that
news OF Richeson's act first became
known to the public. The jail offi-
cials had made no announcement III
the matter until they were questioned
about the reports brought out by this
man.
When Richeson came from under
the influence of an anaesthetic ne
had nothing to say. BY order OF the
surgeons he was not questioned by
any one, and will be kept quiet un-
til he gains strength.
