VIRGINIA LEADS
IN ATTENDANCE.
Artillery Officers From This
State Honored With Com
mands. at Fort Riley.

Z Virginia has greater number OF
officers at the school for instruction
for the Held artillery at Fort Riley.
Kansas. than any other State In the
Union. This is one Of the interesting
bits OF Information contained in lct-
Ter received from Major r. NJ. Worth
am. the commander Of this branch Of
the Virginia volunteers. to his bat,
talon adjutant Captain j. C. Wise.
II may not DC generally known that
this State has a larger proportion of
field artillery. in relation 10 Its entire
militia force. than any other state.
The student officers at Fort Riley
have been formed into battalion units.
one OF which is comma nded by Ma jor
Workman and another by Captain Will
liam NJ. Myers. OF the Richmond How
,tzers. About ia5 artillery officers of
The organized militia are present. Vir-
GINA furnishing twelve.
At Work in Field.
Contrary to the system IN vogue in
the camp OF manoeuvrcs at San An
tonic, for artillerymen. the Volunteers
officers are actually required to per-
form field duties and to take charge
Of appropriate commands The In
structors nre selected with n View to
their fitness. and. being thoroughly
alive to the needs and Importance OF
the militia, are able to assist In the
solution Of many OF the problems AT
fccting the volunteer soldery.
Major WORKMAN is pleased with the
arrangements made for the instruction
and comfort OF the officers. and be-
lieves this years course will be even
more beneficial than was that of 1910.
1t is SO arranged as to enable the
students to handle the guns with elf
cheney, eliminating in three days of
fire practive With service ammunition
1t is realized that the delivery OF an
effective fre at the right place and
Mt the right time is. after all, the goal
of artillery. and it has always been
regarded as unfortunate that the gov
eminent. SO short handed In this arm
OF the service, does not provide anil
mails and ranges for militia artillery.
With which alone 1t can become SER
viceable.
The program at Fort Riley consists
OF round of instruction in gunncry
and Of selection. reconnaissance and
occupation CT positions The school
will continue until June Is.

SEARCH FARM
FOR DEAD BODIES
Indiana Mans Confession That Hc
Chopped Up Companions Body
Leads To Further Inquiry.

FOWLER, Ind, May 3.-Giving
CHASTITY details as to the manner In
which he disposed of the body, John
Poole, wealthy farmer, living near
here this morning confessed to Sherin
Shackleton that he had chopped up
the body of Joseph Kemper, employed
by him as a farm hand, and afterward
buried ii in the field near his house.
Poole denied. however, that the de-
liberately murdered Kemper, declar.
ing that he accidentally shot the farm
hand while they were hunting. A full
charge from a shotgun blew on
Kemper's head. Poole declared, the
gun being discharged while he was
climbing fence.
The latter part of Pooles story is
wholly discredited by Shackleton, who
declares that every indication points
to the fact that Kemper was murdered
In the Kitchen or the Poole home. A,
to Charles Clark and Charles Mack
two other farm hands who are missing
and now believed to have been slaiI
by Poole. the accused man declares
he knew nothing. He said they hac
left his place OF their own free will
and he had not heard from them since
This same explanation was previous
ly given as to Kemper, Sheriff Shack
Teton said
Scores OF farmers focked to the
Poole farm this morning, believing
that another Guinness Murder farm
may be discovered.
With the return of John Poole this
morning after being arrested near
Rensselaer, late last night on a
charge of murder, there was wild
rush toward the Poole farm, four
miles east of Fowler, where II was
stated bodies of former farm hands,
employed on the Poole place, might
be found.
The body could not be positively
identified as that of Kempe- as the
head was hacked with a hatchet, both
legs severed and the trunk badly mu.
tilated. Two other men employed by
Poole, however, mysteriously disap-
peared and today the entire farm was
dug up in the belief that other bodies
would be found. Other missing men
are Charles Clark and Charles Mack
At the time OF Poole's first arrest
he accompanied detectives TO field
back OF his barn and aided them in
digging for the body which his son
had declared would be found. He de-
MED any knowledge of body being
there.
Emory Poole stated that shortly
after Kemper disappeared bis father
began wearing the missing mans
clothes. On the day he disappeared.
young Poole also declared, he founi
a bloody hatchet on the porch OF the
house and his fathers boots were
bloody. Nothing has been heard OF
Kemper or the other two farm hands
since they first were missed from the
Poole farm.

100000 DOODLE
FUND RAISED
Money Reported To Have Been Sub
scribed To Bribe Ohio Legislator
Grand Jury Continues Probe.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 3.-Before
the second days session of the Frank
lin county grand jury is concluded
today II is expected that startling
confessions involving many members
of the Ohio legislature In bribery
charges will be in the possession or
William J. Burns, head Of the detec-
tive agency, employed to uncover the
graft in the Ohio legislature. Burns
has spent practically all of his time
here examining witnesses who may
be called before the grand Jury.
From a confidential source II has
been learned that many OF those inn
plicated in the Doodle disclosures
have weakened and are now ready
to tell Burns the truth. 1t Is expect
ed their confessions will be taken to-
day.
Already the house of representa-
tives is without O steering COMMITTEES
as the result OF the bribery charges
Speaker lining today accepted the
resignation of the six members OF the
committee who refused to serve fol
lowing the admission of Chairman
Nye that he had accepted two bribcs
ostensibly. however, for the purpose
OF trapping the bribers. Nye himself
then resigned and an entirely new
committee will be appointed.
With the resuming of the grand
Jury probe today, Prosecuting Turner
today turned down requests from full
ly a dozen legislators who asked to
be allowed to go before the grand
jury and testify. No one he announc
ed will be allowed to tell anything
that might result In immunity and
he declares he has sufficient evidence
without confessions.

Immediate passage of the Little
field ordinance, requiring automobile
drivers to stop their cars when ap-
preaching a street car that has stop
ped to let of or take on passengers.
Is urged by several members OF the
common council, regardless OF any
action that may be taken by the or
dinance committee, Friday, looking
toward the adoption of general
auto ordinance.
1T may take several months to
draft a general ordinance that Will
be satisfactory to all the interests
concerned" said Aid. Maurice keat-
ing. of the Fourth ward. In the
meantime the automobiles will con
tinue killing people on our streets un-
less something is done TO regulate
the trafic. don't think we could
do better than adopt the Littleheld
ordinance as ii stands to insure tenn
porary protection to our citizens. IL
won't cost anything except the ex-
pense of printing it, and when the
general ordinance Is passed, the Lit
tlefeld ordinance can be repealed
along with the others covered by the
blanket measure"
The only way well ever stop the
slaughter Of people on the streets IS
by adopting such an ordinance as
have submitted said Aid. Sherman
Li;tiefield, Wednesday. Il can see no
reason why the automobile people
should control our streets. People
who ride in street cars are far in the
majority. and think they have some
rights in the streets, just as well as
The automobilists No less than 200
people have called me up or spoken
to me about my measure and have
expressed the opinion that II Is the
best ordinance yet proposed in the
interest OF the public safety as far as
the automobiles are concerned.
One thing | know is that, II the
council doesn't incorporate the pro-
visions OF my ordinance in the pro-
posed general ordinance that measure
is going to have pretty hard shedding.
Nearly every alderman In the council
that | have spoken to Is in favor OF
compelling the automobile drivers TO
stop their machines when approach
ing a halted street car"
An ordinance similar to the Little
field measure Is now In force in Pitts
burg. and has practically put an end
TO automobile accidents In that city.
In response to an inquiry The Times
has received the following dispatch
from Pittsburg:
A strict enforcement of an or
