she could not go out, but instead of
staying home she left the house and
did not return until late. In calico

Dusky Entertainer From
Dixie Feared Repetition
of Former Experience.

For a while this morning the appear
ance of Davis & Walker. the colored
entertainers, at the Orpheum seemed
to be rather doubtful. As it was a rep
resentative of the Allardt circuit was
compelled to accompany the pair from
Chicago just to lend moral support and
also to see that Davis did not contract
another case of chilled pedal extreme
ties.
This morning Davis appeared at ALL
ardt Brothers office in the Majestic
theater building, Chicago and declared
that because Of the floods that are now
overfowing the banks of the Kanka-
kee and Calumet rivers he would not
journey to Hammond lest he fall prey
to the angry waters.
Last night Davis read of the damage
that high water has worked in this sec
ton. His ideas of the flood were en-
iarged by the conversation OF a brother
performer, who averred that the Johns
town flood was a mere sprinkling OF
dew compared to what impended for
Hammond and vicinity.
Davis is from the south and when a
resident of Helena, Ark, experienced
the necessity OF clinging to the roof OF
submerged house for three days, with
out food or sleep.
Memory OF this terrible ordeal
| coupled with the wild outpouring OF
the other artist, made him seek tc
break the Hammond engagement.

The special grand jury, which has

day A III. at 10 o'clock. The jurymen

II is said that many Henrico coun-
~ people. including some of the most
prominent, have, whether Intentionally
or otherwise, come far short of max
ing correct returns on the tax in
terrogatories they turned in to the
commissioners of the revenue. 1t is re-
ported that many discrepancies have
been found in reports OF their per-
sonal goods and incomes, and that
measurements not a few have been
found so that there is good ground for
indictments.
The indictments, if returned, it is
said, VIII allege misstatements made

U. S. FAR BEHIND
in AERIAL FLEET
CONGRESS SHOULD MAKE A GEN
EROUS APPROPRIATION,
SAYS OFFICIAL.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Special
After a visit to Washington Monday
afternoon by A. f. wuppermann, Sec
rotary and treasurer OF the Moisant
Monoplane Company, of New York. IL
became known that the size of the
aeroplane factory, which the com
pany will build on the College Park
plot they are preparing to purchase.
VIII depend entirely on the amount Of
the next congressional appropriation
Tor aeroplanes in the United States
Army. Mr.. Wuppermann stated that
IL the United States made any attempt
TO keep up with the pace set by other
countries. his firm would build one of
the largest airship factories in the
world in College Park.
Contamination Of the deal. which
Will transfer the southern end Of the
aviation field at College Park to the
. monoplane firm, win be made within
lew days, as a result OF Mr.. Wup-
permann's trip here The aviation
school for women, which is to be es-
tablished, VIII probably be opened in
the spring. The erection of the fac
tory will begin as soon as the next
congressional appropriation for aero
planes is made, when the policy of
the Government in this regard will
be known.
What good are the huge battleships
OF the United States without aero
planes ?" Mr.. Wuppermann asked.
Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela and other
small American republics are unable
to build such large navies, but, on
the other hand, they are able to pur-
chase dozen or two aeroplanes. ana
with this fleet could blow to pieces
any navy that the United States can
construct. The United States is at
present far behind France and ether
European countries in aviation work.
France has just appropriated S4,-
100000 for aviation for the coming
year, while other countries are doing
likewise. If the United States follows
this lead, we Will erect the largest fac
/ tory in the world at College Park.
Nothing shows how much the
United States has fallen behind in
aeronautics as the manner in which
smaller countries are entering into it.
Mexico, which already has twelve
government machines, recently placed
an order with us for two more. Cuba
Is the possessor of three of our ma
chimes, and we have just contracted
TO furnish another dozen. An order
for twelve machines also has been re-
celVed from the Government of Vene-
Zuela."

FOR GOVERNOR
RGCHMO ND, VA, Special-I

RI c H MO Nd, VA, Special
For Governor. Westmoreland Davis,
Of Loudoun
For Commissioner OF Agriculture,
a. Is. Thornhill. of Appomattox
This is a ticket said TO be favored
by the officials of the Farmers Co
operative and Educational Union Of
Virginia, who are now working in the
hope of having Messrs. Davis and
Thornhill nominated in the Demo-
cratic primary next year.
Letters advocating the two favor
ties of the union already are being
sent out and it is limited that in the
months to come their hackers will
grow even more active than at pres
ent.
One writer even hints that he will
make disconcerting disclosures con-
corning Harry St George Tucker, and
that he also believes he can reveal
something hurtful to the interests of
Henry G. Stuart.
Be that as it may, the Farmers
Union is today recognized as po-
tential body, while il is everywhere
conceded that both Mr.. Davis and Mr..
Thornhin are substantial men with
many local friends.
Mr.. Davis is president of the yir-
ginia State Farmers Institute, which,
however, should not be confounded
with the Farmers Union.
He farms on an extensive scale in
Loudoun county, and recently has
come into prominence through his
contributions TO the press. which have
borne chiefly on agriculture.
Mr.. Davis it. VIII also be recalled,
was the head and front of the move
ment which brought about the pas
sage Of the so-called convict lime
grinding bill, whose constitutionality
is now being tested in the courts.
This measure has attracted wide
attention and is regarded as one of
great importance TO the farmers of
the State. 1t was specially favored
by Governor Mann.
The Farmers Union is enthusiastic
in its favor, though that is not its
sole raison detre. The union also
seeks to get better prices for tobacco.
and TO that end has jnaugurated ware
house movements looking to retention
of the crop for better figures.
Mr.. Thornhill, who is favored for
the important office of Commissioner
Of Agriculture. is business manager
Of the Farmers Union. He is a sue
