OF some twenty institutions asking
for more money for new buildings
and running expenses, the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute at Blackspurg
was with the exception of another the
only one that did no< ask for from
$4,000 to $4,000 more than re-
ceiyed in 1910. The State Epileptic
Coloney at Lynchburg headed the list
with demand for $4,000.

for new buildings. The University OF

deaf and dumb, blind and insane want

Economy has been preached and ex-

and declared that the twenty one new

money by the 1910 Legislature. With
heads OF institutions pointing out that
they will be placed at tremendous dis
advantage unless supplied with more
funds and with members OF the Leg

CHARGE OF
 POISONING
 BY ANT0NAS Prominent Family Accused of Making Way With Housekeeper to Get In surance.

Detroit, July 31-Mme Halliday Am tona, known to Detroit society as Countess Antona, aAtl1or and teacher and her husband Count Alisandria J, Antona, and his nephew, Angelo ,Vil- la, today, from behind prison bars de- nied that they are responsible in any way for the death of their i1ousekeper Miss Lizzie Fleming, 63, of Frazier burg O.. The Antonas who claim to be members of the Italian nobility were locked up after hours of gruel- ling cross examination by the prose- cutting attorney.
 The case is one Of the most mysteri- ous that has ever come to the atten- ton of the local police department Miss Fleming. died on July after a short illness. The day following her body was cremated. few days be- fore her death she made a will leaving $1,800 she had saved, with the ex- ception of few dollars, to Mrs. An tona. Her relatives were not notified of her death and did not learn of it until weeks after.
 pr. E. Fl. Mills, of Highland Park, visited the woman and diagnosed her case as intestinal trouble. Shortly after his first visit he was called to make out Miss FTeming's death certi- fcate. Dr. J. D. Fleming, of F'raziers-' burg, o. a brother of the dead woman, started a secret investigation which eliminated in the arrest of the An tomas

 Corruption of the ballot he said is very general, and the purchase of conventions, and legislation, common.
 Proof of this condition, he said, lay in the circumstance that it had never been possible to obtain in Connecticut even an investigation into charges of corruption, such as Wisconsin made in the Stephenson case and Illinois in the Lori1ner case.
 Both Democratic and Republican candidates for governor had expended sums of money on elections relatively larger than Stephenson used.
 At this point the speaker paid a compliment to Governor Baldwin, who, he said had the credit of be- ing the first gubernatorial candidate penditures of money. Governor Bald win. he said. had done more to check corruption of the ballot in Connecticut than any other man.
 MT. Wilson referred to the fact that the Democratic platform adopted two years ago favors direct primaries, that direct primary bill will soon be adopted and that the boss system, and alliances between Republican and Democratic bosses cannot live where direct primaries are generally held.
 He stated his belief that the Demo- cratic party is the best instrument to use in restoring the government to the people, and that it will be much easier to make the corrections that must be made within the Democratic party in the states than to build up a new organization throughout. the coun-

BARTHOLDT COINS NEW WORDS IN
 CHILLING TEDDY

Washington, July 31-Coining new metaphors in an attack of Colonel Roosevelt, Representative Bartholdt Of Missouri today delivered in the House the second speech of the Taft cam paign The Missourian was even more bitter in his charges against Roose- welt than Representative Mondell, who fired the opening gun for the defense of Taft.
 "A crime. unprecedented in its bru- tality, has been committed against the Republican party by those who rashly denounce the national committee and villify its members without knowing the facts said Bartholdt.
 'sWho composed the national com rnittee? Political accident ephemeral nondescripts, satellites of new will- o-the-wisp brought to the surface by minority primaries? No, they were earnest. high minded men of integ- rity, experience and standing
 Bartholdt declared the committee was "bulldozed and threatened with being mobbed'' by the Roosevelt en- thusiasts.

 If is a rule of equity that a man must come into court with clean hands.

 .SThe truth has been mortally wound ed by poisoned arrows from Oyster Bay, yet our great party cannot pc killed by preyarication.
 Rartholdt declared that the law pun ished the Chicago anarchists of the Haymarket riot for 'incendiary lan- guage."
 .Ts there no law to reach a promi- nent offender?'' he thundered. Fro poison the minds of the people is noth- ing more than criminal"
 The speaker branded Governor John son of California as an alleged Re publican" and declared Johnson tried fo 'ssteal the San Francisco district from Taft by rushing through a unit rule, Statewide primary law:

The Republican who continues to talk of TAINTED DELEGATES is only befouling his own nest .. never intended to abide by the result os the Chicago convention. Exam inc the fingers which are trying to throttle the Republican party, Bar ttoldt challenged ''In the Columbus speech the name Republican was not even mentioned. He came to Chicago with treachery in his heart and fully determined to bolt. In order to put a new party on its feet it became nec- essary to run down the old. He seiz- ed the handiest BIG STICK for the work of destruetion.''

ON THE SUBJECT OF SHOES

One of the most amusing screeds of the moment is to be found in Good Housekeeping, where some very wise person animadvefts on the subject of shoes. He begins by reminding us that mankind have the very largest feet on earth. This means, of course, in proportion to the size of the body, and he urges his readers to a proper pride in this fact. He is grieved to note, that instead of being proud of his big feet, the human being, partic- illarIy in case of women is evidently ashamed of them and seeks not only to hide them in black or other cases but to compress them into smaller areas. Mems shoes were given them to hide their feet"
 The recipe for shoes which is war ranted to fit every case is. Have that it is all but impossible to have a shoe too big. He wishes the foot covering to be exactly the size and shape of the foot and then to have a good half-inch added all round the edge. Let any perambulator of the city pavement honestly ask himself for to hint such a question to her" would be waste of breath-whether he would not be happier in shoe that was shaped like his foot and gave a half-inch leeway for comfort all round.
 On the OLn6T HdHQ JuSti~ fies in some degree the fad of the hour for high-heeled shoes. The writer finds that the human foot alone is large in proportion to the size of the body and that it alone seems not to do the service required without the aid of a clumsy machine-made device. Then does it not follow that the small feet are really the more cerviceable? Does not a French heel, forcing the wearer to walk on her toes instead of on her heel, really bring her to a use of the foot which is nearer to that of the expeditions horse, for example? And does not the comparison of the size of pussys foot with her body and the supple ease of her carriage tend to show that the feminine desire for small feet has a sound instinct back of it?
 From which it is to be seen that tha wise censor of his fellows-especially his sisters-does not always arrive with them at the precise conc1usio@ toward which he set forth.
