WARREN'S ILLNESS
P0STP0NES TRIAL
City Auditor Unable to Appear in
Court to Testify Against
His Assailant.

When the hearing of the case against
Robert McCandlish. nfty-seven years
old. charged with assaulting city Au-
ditor Edward ]. Warren, eighty-f,ve
years old. on January 13, came up yes
terday morning in Police Court. 1t
was continued until April 25. The case
was originally called for trial in Feb
ruary. but the condition Of the wound
ed man. whose right leg was badly
fractured, was such that he was I'M
able TO appear In court.
The hearing was continued yester-
day for the same reason. At the Vir-
sinia Hospital, where Mr.. Warren has
lain since the night Of the attack, u
was said that his condition was not
SO satisfactory or encouraging as II
had been for several weeks. On ac-
count of his age his bones are brittle
and extremely slow to knit, while the
shock Of the assault was a serious
menace to his constitution. 1t is like
~ mat the fractured bones Will never
entirely JON.
For several days following tho as
sauft by McCandlish. 1t was feared
that Mr.. Warren would die. He raj
lied. however and exhibited rema rk-
able powers OF recuperation The
change in his appearance and
symptoms in the last few days alarmed
his physician, although no one goes
so far as to say that his condition is
critical. To man OF his age though.
such an experience Is more than likely
to prove serious.
The prosecutions was forced to ask
FOR tho continuance yesterday morn
ing. In requesting Justice Crutchfield
TO postpone the hearing, II was stated
that under the most favorable condi-
tons. Mr.. Warren would not be able
to appear in court within n month or
five weeks. McCandlish. who was at
one time assistant postmaster OF Pc
tersburG, preserves bis stubborn attI-
tude. and says that full testimony will
Justify him in his action. He was pres
ent in court yesterday.
Although 1t Is generally supposed
that the testimony of the Auditor VIII
be- most damaging to McCandlish. un-
less tho victim OF the attack tells more
on the witness stand than he was will
Ing to admit TO a reporter for The
Times Dispatch several weeks ago, his
evidence will be negligible Mr.. War

ing the charges against McCandlish..

Nashville Exchange Urges
Alabama Send Delegates
to New Orleans

Montgomery, October 1.-tSpeciaL)
The Nashville Corn exchange. of Nasn-
Vile, Tenn, has written Capt. Reuben
L. Kolb, commissioner of agriculture and
industries, urging the appointment of del-
egates to attend the Wholesale Grain
Dealers association. which meets in New
Orleans October A. to cooperate with
members of the association in securing
rules looking to the regulation of corn
shipments.
According to the communication from
the Nashville Corn exchange, that or
ganization is desirous that the Whole.
sale Grain Dealers association adopt
rules similar to those proposed by the
bureau of plant industries of the United
States department of agriculture. That
bureau has outlined rules which will have
tendency to restrict the shipment of
corn into the south from western states
that is not up to certain grades. The
grades, as proposed by the bureau of
plant industries. are numbered from one
to six, in three classes, pertaining to white
corn, mixed corn and yellow corn.
The United States department of agri-
culture will give members of the Whole
sale Grain Dealers association a hear
ing in Washington ON October 8, at which
time the department Will receive SuS-
gestions from members of the assoca-
tion relative to the rules proposed.
According to the Alabama department
of agriculture and industries. the rules
will have a far reaching effect, mas
much as they will prohibit the shipment
of corn into the state that is of inferior
grade, or that does not comply with the
grade as specified. penalty will be at
tached for violation of the corn grade
rules, and much good is expected to re-
suit from the new restrictions.

SUFFRAGISTS GIVEN
NO ENCOURAGEMENT

southampton, October 1.-THE suf-
fragists present at the church con-
gress today got small encouragement
from Dean Weldon in support of their
modern methods. Pointing out that
women We're treated with greater honor
and respect because they belonged to
the weaker sex, he asked could there
then be greater folly than to destroy
the mutual sympathy between the sexes
by fight for superiority or equality
a fight in which as far as physical
strength is concerned. women must
come out second best? The intuitive re-
spect of man for woman Is the supreme
asset of womanhood and nothing in the
world can ever atone for the loss of it."

Speaking OF the Olympic games, Dean
Weldon declared that it was more than
doubtful whether prizes were worth
winning in International sports if they
could be won only by the ever increas-
ing expenditure of money.
