NEGRO IS HUSTLED
TO JAIL IN CITY
Addie Cash Is Taken Before
Miss Rouse for Purpose
of Identification
GREAT SECRECY IS
BEING MAINTAINED
Many Circumstances Lead to
the Belief That There
Will Be Early Trial
In Hanover

Addie Cash, the negro who was ar
rested yesterday on the charge OF
criminally assaulting Miss Myrtle
Rouse ia Ashland Saturday night,
was taken before the young woman
yesterday afternoon for identification.
Immediately afterward the negro was
hustled aboard a train for Richmond,
leaving Ashland at Gas. and brought
TO Richmond where he was locked
up in the city Jail. Those present at
the meeting between Miss Rouse and
the negro refused to state last night
whether or not she had identified the
negro as her assailant. but it is the
belief OF the people of Ashland that
she did identify him. and that he was
brought TO Richmond to prevent any
attempt at lynching.
Sheriff Burt Hall and Deputy J. A.
Mallory brought the negro to Rich
mond where they placed him I'm charge
of the city jailer with the statement
that they would take him to Hanover
Courthouse this morning for pre-
liminary trial They refused to state
whether the negro had been identified,
but by their very silence persuaded
those with whom they talked that Miss
Rouse had recognized her assailant.
The negro was locked UP in cell
by himself. where there was no pos
sibilfty Of anyone communicating
with him. He protested his Innocence
of the crime.
Victim Grows Better.
Miss Rouse, although Frustrated by
her experience, was cafmer last night
than she had been. and in the opinion
Of DIR. II. r. Carter. who took charge
OF her case as soon as possible after
the crime was committed. she Is much
improved. Her father, who lies criti-
cally I'll in his home about three miles
from Ashland. has not been told OF the
crime because 1t is feared that such
news would kill him.
The negro will be taken to Hanover
Courthouse this morning, where a
preliminary trial will be held. A
special term of court has been called

WASHINGTON. April ignoring
the recommendation Of President

Committee will hlslts report recon-
mend laws which IT is believed will

The Segfslation recommended by
the committee will be intended to
supplement. not to supercede. the
Sherman antitrust law. But the bills
will be SO framed that any one In
jured by an Industrial monopoly can
secure redress through any Federal
court in the land. instead of being
compelled to apply to the Attorney
General to dissolve tho corporation
that is in restraint OF trade.
A number of bills will be recon-

express purpose of hearing the opin-

was he who conducted the city's legal
battle to force the telegraph COM
pany to comply with the ordinance
requiring its poles and wires to be
placed underground in the principal
district.
The opinion OF the court was unani-
nous. and was read by Mr.. Justice
Holmes. According to the opinion, Mr.
Pollard said, there Is nothing In the
contested ordinance which Is not valid,
reasonable, and constitutional The
measure. which was passed fifteen
years ago, provides specifically that
poles and overhead wires shall be
placed underground In the district
bounded by Seventh. Cary. Fourteenth

500 to $500 Is provided.
