KILLS NEGRO Who 1n
ASSAILED child

CUUPEPER, VA Special Au-
brey Bowie, one of CuIpeper's most
highly respected business men, shot
and killed Adam Howard, coIored,
near Elkwood, Wednesday evening for
making improper approaches to his
eleven-year- daughter.
The killing took place on the
Springfellow estate, where the little
girl was visiting her mothers parents,
and also where Howard was employ
ed as farm hand. 1t appears that
the farm hand made an attempted as
sault upon the child on Wednesday
evening and that she did not tell any
one about it until Thursday morning
when she told her grandparents. who
informed Mr.. Bowie. The father al
once went to Elkwood, and on catch
ing sight of the culprit emptied his
revolver in the man. Bowie surren-
lered himself and was released or

House EXCLUDES . es.aes
a,. .a:: =, | ATT VISITORS

r c II NJ o N d, VA.-Special-
Because of the continued disorder
on the floor of the House OF Dele
gates during the consideration of the
general appropriation yesterday, the
House today. by an overwhelming ma
jority. voted to exclude all visitors eX-
cept senator's. State officers and news
paper men. This. of course, did not
affect the gallery.
The motion to exclude privileged
lobbyists was made by John W. Ste
phenson, of Bath. 1t was bitterly
contested by Walter Oliver, OF Fair
fax. who intimated that those who
wished visitors excluded entertained
some Interior motive.
This was Indignantly denied by
Mr.. Stephenson He merely wished
peace and order. he declared. He
considered the appropriation bill one
of the most important matters before
the Legislature. and he did not be-
lieve the members OF the House could
give the proper attention to it's various
items IL they were badgered by visitors
or disturbed by loud conversation.
These visitors gave the Speaker a
great deal OF annoyance yesterday. He
was forced TO call upon the sergeant
at arms several times to preserve or
der. and was finally forced to threaten
immediate expulsion from the floor
OF all visitors IL conversation did not
cease.
When the House passed the Steph-
enson resolution this morning a sur
prisingIy large number OF privileged
visitors appeared--coming from the
aicoves and from behind the window
portieres. They were herded togeth er
by the doorkeeper and his staff. and
escorted from the chamber.

SUBJECT OF SULLY
PICTURE STILL LIVES
OND. VA.-speciaI.-

r c II NJ o N D, VA.-Special.-
This papers widely read articles in
connection with the somewhat uneK-
pected discovery in Richmond of an
original Sully portrait of a child has
resulted in the complete Identification
OF the subject Of the picture and de-
finite knowledge as TO the owner Of
the canvas.
The beautiful child portrayed In the
picture by the wiZardry of Thomas
Sully's brush is today Mrs. Richard
Boiling, who, before her marriage,
was Miss Barksdale. She Is the wife
of former attache of the City En-
glneers department and a sister-in-
law of City Engineer Charles e. Boil
ling.
Both the Boiling and Barksdale
families long have been prominent in,
Virginia, and in view of their i'm
mense circle of friends 1t is rather
astonishing that the portrait was not
Immediately identified.
But all doubts have now been re-
moved. The portrait, which was
painted in 1851, was executed by
Suly at the instance of the child'S
grandfather. and it never lacked for
appreciation. The flight of years and
the mutations due to changes m
housekeeping, however. caused the
canvas to go adrift.
When the Bollings moved to Lynch
burg sometime ago a number of their
household goods were temporarily
stored in a boarding house on Main
Street, between Second and Third. A
| little later most OF this property was
shipped to the Hill City, but in some
way the portrait was overlooked.
Its absence was imm ediately noted,
but efforts to discover the portrait
/ proved fruitless. The next heard OF

AT least one of these refused to buy
the painting, but finally the woman
found a purchaser, who gave her a
dollar for 1t. Then Mrs. John Skel-
| ton Williams, being attracted by the
beauty of the child portrayed, as well
as by the good workmanship of the
artist, acquired the painting for So.
When il was sent to Franck Broth
