POLICE HEARING
IN death FLAT"
Accused Prisoner of Ten Smiles
While Being Examined

Chicago, Nov. EN- her own fiat
at 495 East Twenty-ninth street, the
scene of the last two of. ten mys-
terious deaths, with which her name
is connected, Mrs. Louise Vermilya
was formally arraigned today on the
charge of numbering Policeman Ar
thur Bisonette.
The staging of a police court scene
in the death fat was dramatic
climax to forty-eight hours of con
slant watching and questioning dur
ing which, by various methods, the
police attempted in vain to obtain
a confession from the woman.
AS the charge of murder was read,
Mrs. Vermilya lay upon her bed I'M
moved, stolid, yet smiling cynically
at times. She was recovering from
an attempt late Sunday night to COM
nit suicide. Near by sat Miss Lydia
Rivard, fiance of Bisonette. Jeal
ousy of Miss Rivart led Mrs. Vermil-
va to poison Bisonette, the police
believe
Behind Miss Rivard sat a brother
If Richard T. Smith, who, while liv-
ng with Mrs. Vermilya as her hus-
and, died under circumstances SINH
tlr to Bisonette. Smiths body was
exhumed at Henderson, ILL.,, and ex
animation for traces of poison is be-
ing made today.
Nearby sat DR.. Ralph Vermilya,
step-son of the accused woman,
whose father and sister died in Mrs.
Vermilya's home under mysterious
circumstances.
DR.. L. L. Hertell, who signed
Smiths certificate, told the police
that from recent development he be-
lieves poison will lbe found in Smiths
body.

STATE TO OPPOSE
PLEA,0F INSANITY
Counsel Prepares as Date Of Ben
Hubard'S Trial Draws Near

Lynchburg, Va, Nov. 6.-An-
nouncement is made here today that
George E. Caskie, of this city, has
been associated with Common
wealth's Attorney Whitehead, of
Nelson county, in the prosecution of
Ben Hubbard, the slayer of DR.. j..
A. Petit, in Nelson county last Sep
TENDER. The case is to come to
trial at Lovingston on November
14th, and the case promises to be
a hard fought one.
1t is known that the State will
stoutly resist the effort of the de-
Tense to establish the insanity of
the accused and this means that a
large number of witnesses will be
summoned for rebuttal testimony on
the part of the prosecution.
1t will be recalled that Drs. A. S.
Priddy, j. S. DeJarnette and DR..
w. F. Drewry. superintendent, re-
spectively, of the State epileptic colo
ny, the Western State Hospital at
Staunton and the Central State Hos
pital at Petersburg, have had several
conferences with Hubbard in order
to enable them to testify as to his
sanity.
While the report of these alien
lists has not been made public there
is little doubt but it will be thai
Hubbard was not responsible for the
murder of DR.. Petit. At least the
prosecution seems to be taking thai
for granted and is at work to rebut
! the evidence of the alienists.
The case will be tried before
Judge Gordon, unless there should
be a change Of venue, which is moi
now expected, and John L. Lee an6
Lewis H. Brown, of Lynchburg, will
represent the defense.

DR.. ]. M. FiNNEY HAS
NOT REACHED DECISION

Until he is formally notified that
he has been selected to succeed DR..
Woodrow Wilson as president of
Princeton University, DR.. ]. M. T..
Finney, the renowned Baltimore sur
geon who on October 9 performed a
delicate operation on the late Archer
Harmon, at Hot Springs, Va, in an
effort to save his life, has made no
announcements as to whether or not
he would accept.
DR.. Finney is an alumnus of
Princeton and a warm friend of
Woodrow Wilson's, who is an alum
nus of Johns Hopkins University.
The qualities that are said to recon-
mend him particularly to the Prince
ton authorities as a presidential pos
sibility are his executive ability, his
deep knowledge of science in many
branches and his ripe experience as
a man of public affairs.
DR.. Finney, who was a one-time
member of the Baltimore School
Board, recently acquired additional
fame as the inspiration of Mr.. Pres
toms scholastic slogan-"men of the
Finney type"
The formal election will take place
in January.

cobweb or shadow designs. Those
in large patterns are much worn and
are usually in the shadow mesh with
a silk-run design in the form Of a

Tinted veilings, in which there is

Many of the new skirt models are
in overskirt effect, some being edged
with fringe. The drop skirt is usu-
ally of satin or velvet.
Fringe will be seen on nearly all
of the new costumes for afternoon
and evening wear, on house gowns,
neglige, parasols and even on hats.
Many of the new skirts are fitted
with seam over the right hip and
a long straight dart over the left
hip.
The new models show high-waist-

WASHINGTON AWAITING
RESULTS WITH INTEREST

Washington, Nov. g. Official
Washington is displaying more than
an ordinary amount of interest in
tomorrow's elections for an off-year
The returns from Massachusetts and
Rhode Island are anxiously antici-
pated, for national issues have fgur-
ed most conspiciously in the contests
in those two States, and as conse
quence the results will be regarded
as some indication of the drift of
popular opinion concerning the par
ties. 1t is possible that these results
may leave the outlook no clearer
than it is at present, but if for any
reason one party should show de-
cided gains in the voting, the fact
will be classified as an indicator of
what may happen in the national
election next year.

HIGH COURT HAS
BEATT|E APPEAL
Case Will Probably
ed Latter Part of Week

Richmond, Va, Nov. 6.-Counsel
for Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., having
filed with Judge James Keith, of the
Supreme Court, their petition for
a writ of error in the case, the fate
of young Beattie is at this time in
the hands of the Supreme Court of
Virginia.
1t is possible that Judge Keith
may act upon the petition himself,
but in view of the near approach of
the regular term of the court this
is hardly probable.
The belief is strong, however, that
the Beattie case will be one of the
first to be considered upon the con-
vening of the court, next Thursday.
Upon that day, it is probable that
Beattie will be carried to the peni-
Tertiary, as the law requires that
all condemned men must be carried
to the State prison not later than ff-
teen days before the dates set for the
execution.
Governor Mann said yesterday
that he would take no cognizance of
the case until the Supreme Court
had acted. That being the fact, the
court will, in accordance with legal
procedure speedily consider the
Beattie case, unless Judge Keith de-
cides to act in recess. This will be
done so that the governor may have
time to act before the day set for
the execution.
AS it stands now, the fate of the
young man is entirely in the hands
of the Supreme Court. And with
the shadow of the electric chair full
upon him, Beattie, in the city Jail,
still carries that air of confidence
that has enveloped him since the
first. Every day numbers of people
go to the Jail to get a look at the
conedmned man. Few of them gain
admittance, but they seem satisfied
with stray glimpse of the man as
he walks back and forth in his cell,
on the Marshall street side of the
Jail, Immediately above the main en-
trance.

Staunton's compactness it would
seem is reacting to it's advantage in
the matter of a fire station. While

of this number have been added re-
Gently at a total cost of $4,000.
They are equipped with auto-hose
trucks, steam heat and instantan-
eous water heaters, the latter sup
plying shower and tub baths. Up
stairs every convenience and comfort
is supplied for the men, while down
stairs every moedrn appliance has
been installed to facilitate quick
work
The stations are of exactly similar
design and in outward appearance
resemble residences. The Roanoke
department employs fifty-seven full
paid fire fighters and four call men.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION
ISSUE In LYNCHBURG

Lynchburg, Va, Nov. with no
opposition to the regular Democratic
nominees for the general assembly
in Lynchburg, the only interest in
tomorrow's election here lies in the
vote on compulsory education. While
there has been little agitation over
the question, the opposition to the
proposition appears to be small and
it is expected that a large proper
ton of the vote will back the city
school board in it's efforts to bring
this change about.
Lynchburg will be the first city
in the State to vote on the question
of compelling all children between
and IL years to attend school, at
least, three months in every year.

Largely through the generosity

of their craft, nearly all the forty
four members of "The Fair Coed"
Company have been furnished with
the means to take them to New York

'Pitiful indeed was the condition
of these unfortunates, who, young

for New York to try to secure some
money. The women of the cast be-
came hysterical, while the men stood
around in hopeless inaction.
"The worst of it was that they
had nothing to eat. One of the wom-
en-, faint with hunger, was discovered
in the wings of theatre Saturday
afternoon and made to devour a
meal when her fare to New York was
given her. Saturday night one of the
men confessed to having tasted since
the previous evening, too proud to
go further into debt to the kindly
disposed people with whom he had
been boarding.
''Three of the women who were
furnished with railroad fare are mar
ried, and refused to leave their hus-
bands. They called on a man who
had busted himself in helping the
situation, and meekly asked permits
sion to remain until another day, in
the hope that the husbands might
secure the funds to go with them.
They were nerveracked and exhaust
ed from worry and nervous tension.
Members of the Jefferson de
Angels Company gave literally to
the fund, as did the Bijou and other
theatres. Some of the actors and ac-
tresses receive good salaries, and did
not hesitate to help the ex-'Fair Co
