 Committed Suicide
Especial from United Press. )


 Washington, Aug. l9-Four year old Virginia Peterson, almost dead from starvation, was rescued this after noon by the police from locked room in local apartment house where for days she was held prisoner with the dead body of her mother: The carefully locked windows and doors led them to believe that the mother, suddenly deranged, had plan ned that the child should follow her in death.
 For two days neighbors in apart ments nearby had heard the p1aintive cries of little Virginia and several had seen her fearful face pressed against the window panes. But no one thought the child was a prisoner in a death chamber and lowly starv- ing. Her little feet battered back and forth across the room and she tug ged at the cold hands of her mother and pounded with her baby fists on the unyielding door until, today, when the police burst into the room.
 They found the little golden haired baby crying pitifully on the floor. so exhausted that she could not move. Only the reek of carbolic acid pene- trated to the corridors and this caus- ed the neighbors to investigate.
 The door could not be forced so the officers broke a window and climbed through. On the bed lay the black ened body of the mother, her face and hands fearfully burned by the acid.
 Little Virginia lay on the floor a few feet away, as still as the cold body of her mother. She was revived by the officers and rushed to the hos pital in an automobile, her weak voice whispering. over and over again, Where's mamma?"
 Mrs. Sarah E. Peterson was a widow and as near as the police can deter mine was recently employed in one of the government departments. She went to the Rievera, an apartment house on H Street, Northwest, last October. Virginia was the only other occupant of the flat.

carefully compounded of ingredients
whose medicinal qualities are recognized
by the medical profession itself as the

For over three decades Foley's Honey
