William J. Woodson. a building con-
tractor. has been held for court next
week to answer a charge OF murder.
Woodson was in charge of building
which had a concrete roof. and the sup
ports were removed while the concrete
was still green" Moses Taylor, ne
gro laborer, was caught under the roof
and his life crushed out. The coroner s
jury placed the responsibility for the
accident on the contractor. and he mas
been arrested to answer for the death OF
the man. 1t is also understood that he
will have to answer a suit for damages
from the dead mans relatives, and he
will be charged with violation OF the
building code In removing the supports
to the concrete under the specified twen-
ty-one days. Several persons were badly
injured when Taylor was killed, one man
going down with the roof while seated
on top eating his breakfast.
Minister Starts inquiry.
Charging that the State Fair Associa-
ton sold liquor Unfortunately and that
many persons were seen drunk during
the progress Of the fair: that firemen In
full uniform were seen drinking at the
bars, the Rev. ]. NJ. Rowland of Laurel
Street Methodist Church, has been sum-
moned to appear before the board of fire
commissioners and to repeat his state
ments and to identify the firemen.
Alleging that the Modern Workmen of
the World, fraternal organization. has
undertaken to transfer it's business to
the Royal Life Insurance Company of
Washington without first obtaining the
consent Of the insurance department Of
Virginia, Col. Joseph Button, the insur-
ance commissioner, has brought suit to
name a receiver.
A chauffeur ran down and badly injured
a crippled woman here few nights ago.
and the same night a negro driving a
wagon ran down and injured newsboy.
In both instances the drivers failed to
stop to inquire the extent OF the hurts
inflicted. Both were badly injured. De-
tectives are on the track Of the drivers,
having the assistance of the Automobile
Association and all machine owners.
Reckless driving has caused much of the
feeling against automobiles and has been
responsible for the enactment of rigid
laws for speeding.

Can't Receive the Money.

State Treasurer Asher w. Hartman has
$3,375, perfectly good American money,
which the auditor refuses to receive. and
yet it is intended for the state of Vir-
GINA The money represents per cent
of the salary Of congressman for the
first year. 1t was paid in by the candi-
dates in the first. third. fourth and sixth
districts. It was paid according to the
provisions Of the new primary law. and
was intended to pay the costs of the pri-
mary elections. But in the desire to per-
feet the primary law the legislators
many of whom are opposed to any sort
of a primary law-got busy with amend
ments. and the provision for paying the
money to the state of Virginia through
the office of the auditor was overloo <ed
or eliminated. The auditor finds no war
rant for receiving the money. and SO
Treasurer Hartman has it in bank sub
ject to the credit of the state. He cannot
pay it to the auditor for the reason that
he refuses to take it. and 1t cannot be
checked out for the reason that the pay
ments made on behalf of the state have
to be made by the auditor.
The democratic national committee
assessed Virginia $4,000 for the presi-
Dental campaign. and up to a day or
two ago the state was still shy about
5000 of this amount. All the papers in
the state are making appeals for money
but it is not coming In as rapidly as ex-
pected or required. Chairmen of the
Various congressional districts are urg-
ing the committees to get busy and to
do what they can at once, .as the calls
for money make 1t plain that it Is needed
to keep speakers in the field and to pay
The largest contribution so far made
was that Of Col. Joseph e. Willard of
Fairfax. Washington and Richmond, who
send his check for $1,000. The voters in
this state are taking little interest in
the campaign, seeing that there is no
opposition to the democrats in any sec
ton, save the ninth district. and the rest
of the state will give such a majority
that the republican vote there will be
in vain except in the race for a member

State Chairman Ellyson is doing all in
his power to elect Gen. Rufus A. Ayers
to Congress In the ninth district Gen
Ayers was nominated several months
ago, and for four months he has been
conducting a vigorous campaign. lie has
spoken at practically every precinct In
the district, and Is still at 1t. Chairman
Ellyson is sending every speaker avail
able to that section OF the state; and for
a dozen speeches a day in the various
counties. In some instances the speak
ers are paying their own expenses. Both
the candidates for governor-Henry C.
Stuart and Harry st. George Tucker
are in the thick of the fray. each appeal

During the past week shipments of cat
tie from the southwestern sections of
Virginia and the eastern part of Tonnes
see have been unusually heavy on the
railroads penetrating the Virginia valley
section. Practically all the cattle from
those localities are fattened exclusively
on grass and go direct to the English
markets without being fed on grain. BY
this method of feeding the cattle growers
get the highest market prices for tn ,ir
stock.

THE PERRY CENTENNIAL.

It is one hundred years now since
the war of 1912 and during the year
1913 tall monument is to be dedi-
Gated to Perry's victory on Lake Erie.
Every school boy remembers the
words that come down from that
enemy and they are ours" Those
words stand out as bold as the famous
line from Julius Caesar, ST came, L
saw, conquered" The monument
to perpetuate the victory of Commo-
dore Perry will be unveiled at Putin
Bay, Ohio, near the scene of the bat
tie. Wisconsin has contributed
$4,000 to the pile which is the highest
memorial in the United States, save
that for Washington at Washington.
TIE battle was a Waterloo to the Eng
fish and meant much to the great
Northwest. After Perry met the
enemy General Harrison invaded
Canada and what is now the great
states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin and a portion of
Minnesota became a big possession.
During next summer all of the cities
around the great lakes will join in
the celebration which will last several
months and include naval display.
The ships will make a voyage from
populous center to populous center of
the inland seas.
