sational features will be the startling
and exciting contests in auto-polo.
This attraction will be feature ev-
cry day on the green in front Of the
grand stand. Polo with ponies is
sensational enough, but with automo-
biles, there is no description which
may be given. The contest must be
seen to be enjoyed.
Another sensational display will
ibe that to be given by Professor
Hutchinson, the famous aeronaut of
international fame. His act requires
the use of a new balloon every day.
A caring aeronaut arises to dizzy
heights, and suddenly drops from the
balloon which bursts into flames
while the airman is descending by
means of twelve parachutes. At

Eul of displays.
The fireworks spectacle this year
will surpass anything ever seen in the
south. 1t closes with the battle of
Santiago, in which twelve ships and
u torpedo boat take part.

partments will close or Saturday

resources Of the State of Virginia

berg Popcorn Company, were de-
stroyed. The loss on all three struc-

men and children were herded down
the stairways and elevators to the
lobby.
Within fifteen minutes after the

guests on the fifth floor. These
maze their way to the street in

SCHMIDT ADEPT
IN ALL CRIMES
HEsi
Has Had Experience in All
Phases Of Violation of
Law.
MANY TO HIS CREDIT.
Charged With Murder, Counterfeit
ing, Illegal Practice of Medicine
and Forgery.

New York, Sept. 17.-Hans
Schmidt, who is in the Tombs charged
with the murder Of Anna Aumuller,
stood revealed today, after lnspecto.
Faurot's Investigations resulted in
the arrest of his associate, Ernest
Muret, as criminal jack-of-all
trades.
Murderer counterfeiter, fake med
'ical practitioner, forger and impos-
tor were terms written after his
hame in the police record, and the de-
tectives who disclosed this pentateuch
of crime insisted that Schmidt, far
from being insane, in reality was tho
.possessor Of a master mind.
Alphonse G. Koelble, his lawyer,
after a talk with him in the Toombs
last night, said Schmidt admitted
that he comitt.d the murder, or, as
he termed it, performed the sacri-
fee" that he was preparing to manu-
facture counterfeit $40 and $40 bills,
and that he had another impersona-
ton in which he posed as 'Dr. Emil
Moliere," in which capacity he was
working on a medicine which would
reduce the number of children in the
world"
Admissions by Schmidt also estab-
lished the other charges, and as to
the counterfeiting and illegal medi-
cal practice, Koelble said, Schmidt in
sisted that he was following out those
lines under God given commands.

badfanJ Spain, casinos was shdt
dead Monday night before the eyes
of $500 persons gathered around the
gaming tables. About midnight, d

HELD FOR GRAND JURY.
Danville Lawyer Arraigned on Seri-
Gus Charge.

Danville, Va, Sept. l7.-After a
private hearing which was held Mon
day afternoon in the court house
before Police Justice c. A. Raines,
Roy C. Coleman, a local barrister,
was held for the grand jury on a
charge Of feloriously assaultlnS Mrs.
Helen Schulz on Saturday night in
mis- Office, which is situated above
Parker's Book Store. A bond of
fifteen hundred dollars was required
by the court of Coleman, and Mrs.
Schulz was bound over for appear
ance as a witness before the Decem-
Der term of grand jury under the
sum of one hundred dollars which
security was given by number Of
the girls sympathizers.
The alleged offense was committed
on Saturday night at about half past
nine o'clock. Screams were heard
issuing from the lawyers office. and
employees in a store below sent out
for a police officer who, upon hasten
ing up the stairway, ran into Mrs.
Schulz, who in state of considerable
fear, told the officer tale which led
him to arrest Coleman and take him
to the court house where the woman
swore to a warrant charging her al
legged aggressor with felonious as
sault.
The complainant recently married
an Austrian, who later deserted her.
MIR. Coleman's friends claim that,
in any event, the case against him is
not so serious as appears upon the
surface, when all the facts are
brought out and that in reality, at
the worst, he was laboring under
an attack of alcoholic insanity. They
say he has been drinking very freely
lately of whiskey, laudanum and
cocaine.

NAVY YARD FORCE.
Assistant Secretary Of Navy Working
on Plan for Benefit of Employees.

Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Franklin D. Roosevelt is working on
plan that it is hoped will put an
erd to the periodical necessity of
cutting down the force at the Wash
ington Navy Yard when work be-
comes slack.
\ committee of three, represent
ing the men of the local yard, called
on Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
yesterday morning and consulted
with him as to means that might be
employed to obviate the necessity Of
reducing the force during, the dull
periods.
Ancthe. development of yesterday
that served to put the navy yard sit
uation in more promising light was
the receipt by the Navy Yard of in
formation that number of machin-
lists could oe used to advantage there.
This intelligence was sent to the local
navy ?ard yesterday morning, and it
is probable that number of men
dismissed last week will find work at
Norfolk.
During the conference between the
Assistant Secretary and the represen-
tatives of the maCk Ests several sug-
~sstions we're made for throwing
extra work in the way of the Wash
ngton Navy Yar.i during the dull
times. These suggestions were dis
cussed thoroughly. a,lG Mr.. Roosevelt
SaiG yesterday n wo:;ld nave the
practicabIlity Of each investigated
and would make his recommendations
accordingly to Secretary Daniels.

SPECIAL SESSION
IS SUGGESTED
r't@'l"ss
Want Legislature to Meet
and Pass on Tax
Reform.
EX SPEAKERS VIEWS.
Would Defer All Matters Relating
10 Movement Until Next Year If
Governor Issues Call.

Richmond, Sept. 17.-Dcmocratic
nominees for the House of Delegates
who have been in Richmond in the
past week or ten days lean largely
10 the view outlined by former Speak
cr r. E. Byrd that there should be
special session for the considera-
ton of tax reform. If tentative
plans now taking shape are fully
nlatured, Democratic caucus of the
two houses of the General Assembly
will determine in advance of the COM
ing regular session to defer all mat
ters relating to tax reform to spec
ial session to be held in November,
1914, to appoint joint committee
from the Senate and House to sit in
the interim and prepare bills for cor
sideration OF the members. and to
ask Henry c. Stuart, who will then
be Governor of Virginia, to cali the
special session for the purpose of
considering tax reform only.
This will clear the decks of the reg
ular session for the consideration of
routine measures that must be passed
for more careful scrutiny of the ap.
preparation bill. and for such local
Legislation as the counties and cities
sss'.nand, and will leave the special
session with but one thing to consid-
when the attention of members

getting on to the ropes.
"A much larger number of the visi-
tors, inclu('ing new and old members,
have expressed themselves in favor
of the special session. Taxes are
Levied on the basis of the first day
of February. Even if bill were
adopted at the regular session this
winter. it would not take effect in
time to affect the assessments to be
made in 1914. If passed at 4 special
session in October or November of
that year, however, it would be in full
effect when the assessments are made
for 1915. as soon as law passed at
the regular session would be in pract-
ical effect
