LEXINGTON, VA, Special.-The
report of Captain b. II. Simmons.

an inspection made Of the Virginia
Military Institute on April is, 1911,
and now first published, again places
that famous school as Glass "A - dis
unguished. Ever since the United
States Government inaugurated the
inspecting of military schools
throughout the country by army Of
ncers detailed from the general staff.
the Virginia Military Institute has re-
tanned its position in the class listed
as next to West Point in military eff
Hciency, record which few. if any,
other military schools in the country
can claim. Although the list, as an
nually published, contains the names
or the ten most efficient schools ar
ranged usually in alphabetical order,
and although all of these institutions
are officially classed as equal in
merit 1t has been unofficially stated
at headquarters that the Virginia
Military Institute stands easily at the
mead Of even these distinguished
schools.
The report is too long to be given
IN fun, but among other things. Cap
tain Simmons states that the school
is essentially military, with a high de-
gree or importance attached to the
military instruction by the faculty;
t.AC 'obGlS DGlIlS required TO De con-
unuously in uniform. The military
spirit is excellent, as is the zeal with
which military duty is performed; and
the training is fully sufficient to quail

mission as a lieutenant of volunteers.
he general appearance at inspection
was excellent. and Captain Simmon
says further that the cadets them
selves are neat, intelligent, soldierly
IN bearing and impressed me very ia
vorably."
The report is very gratifying to
superintendent +. w. Nichols, and to
the commandment Captain S r
Gleaves First Cavalry, United States

that the school at this inspection was
unusually small, over $50 men having
been lost through dismissal or resig-

superintendent expects to matriculate
enough men to fill the barracks to its

The boys had been to the butchers

younger boy carried the meat. Sud

to be cross between a St. Bernard

at 1t and the dog buried its fangs in
MS arm. The little chap continued to
night, but as he kicked and hit out
with his free hand the dog tore the
flesh OF the arm.
A crowd gathered, but none dared
so to the rescue of the child. The dog
seemed to tire OF tearing the arm, and
christening his grip he dug his teeth
into the boys stomach and was drag
ging him about the sidewalk, shaking
him and growing.
Makes Dog Release Hold.
1t was then that Emmett Burns. Of
313 East One Hundred and Thirty

the Mortified crowd. Burns sleeves
NNAO LOlAe0 anu ne carried no
weapon. He made for the dog and
seized him by the throat, pressing his
thumbs into the windpipe. The dog
released his hold on the child's stom-
ach and tried TO attack Burns. but he
was not equal to 1t. With a dexterous
twist, Burns threw the dog on its back
and called out:
Get me a ropei"
Before the rope was brought the
dog squirmed and scratched Burns
bare arms with his paws. Policeman
Duane, of the Alexander Avenue Sta
ton. arrived and got a moose about
the brute's neck, drawing il taut. Then
the dog was taken to the station and
placed in a cell.
The injured boy was taken to his
home as his mother rushed out. he
had been told by her older son that
Richard was being torn to pieces by
wild dogs. She saw the dog being
dragged away and she begged the po-
lice to shoot it.
IF you won't do it," she screamed.

DR.. Preston came from Lincoln Hos
pital. He advised that Richard be
taken here at once. and added to Mrs
Flood:
Your boy is in a very critical con-
ment he will die"
Boy Is Badly Torn.
The doctor found that the flesh of
the arm and the stomach had been
badly torn and chewed. Mrs. Flood
however. would not consent to her
sons leaving her and called in the
family physician.
Shortly after the dog was placed In
a cell. Michael Cerussi. who has a
marble yard at One Hundred and
1hirty-fifth Street and Third Avenue
appeared at the station and demand
ed that the dog be turned over to him.
He's my dog" said Cerussi. land

The dog was refused him. It is not
thought that either of the dogs was
mad. but that they were driven almost
crazy from hunger.
Burns would not be treated by an
ambulance surgeon and went to his
own doctor.

APPLE BARRELS
HOLD TOO MUCH
RICHMOND.

RICHMOND, VA, Special
The Virginia fruit growers are be-
ing worked" by buyers from the
Northern markets. That is what they
declare in letters 10 Secretary Walter
Whateley, Of the Virginia State Hor-
ticultural Association. Mr.. Whateley
has taken up the subject of the pack
ing of apples and the size of barrels
TO be used.
1t seems that some Of the buyers
in their efforts TO facilitate the ship
ment of apples" have been furnish
ing barrels to the growers, and il has
also developed that the barrels thus
furnished have been not below the
standard size required by law. In
deed an investigation discloses the
fact that the growers and packers and
shippers have been "stung" for about
a peck of apples in each barrel. The
barrels cost about s or 10 cents each
and the apples are worth about %
cents the peck.
Just hSure ii up and see if the buyer
from the markets does not get all
that is coming to him.
For the Information of dealers, buy
ers and growers OF apples the follow
ing is the standard size for barrels
used in Virginia for packing apples:
"A barrel for use in packing, SELL
ing or shipping apples shall be of the
following dimensions; Head diameter,
II Is inches; length of slaves, p 1-2
inches; bulge, not less than Ga inches.
Every person buying or selling apples
in the State by this barrel shall be
understood as referring TO quantity
or size Of barrel herein specified"

the Georgia penitentiary for the muir
der of W. ]. Cornett fifteen years
ago, a few months before he made
his escape from prison and went to
Danville. Va, where he became Chief

1t is the belief of his lawyers that
Governor Smith will be more inclined
TO look with favor on the petition
than was his predecessor, Governor
Brown, who turned ii down after the
Prison Commission had passed favor

that the Prison Commission had seen

citizen since his escape will play, they
believe. a strong part in any action
that Governor Smith may take.
Mrs. Hoard Durham, sister of
STRIPPING, and the woman on whose
account the killing is claimed to have
been committed, was in the city last
week, and made two attempts to see
Governor Smith. Her trouble in get
ting an audience grew out OF the fact
that the Legislature is in session. and
Governor Smith is very busily occu-
pied with matters of State.
The Legislature will adjourn in
