TWO join IN PACT
TO DIE TOGETHER
Married Man Shoots and Kills
Another's Wife, Then Ends
Own Life.
NO EYEWITNESS OF TRAGEDY
Three Suicides and Two Murders
in Roanoke Within One
Week.
Special TO The TImeg-Dispatch. I

Especial to The Times Dispatch.J
Roanoke. Va. February ga double
tragedy was enacted here this after
noon In the heart OF tho fashiona BILE
residence section of the city. when
David Il. Lintenhoker shot and killed
Mrs. Warren l.. Painter and then turned
the revolver on himself and ended his
own life. both bodies falling side by
SIDE on the pavement.
There was no eyewitness to the
tragedy. and the cause which prompted
Linkenhoker is not known. IT Is gen
orally thought that he was driven to
desperation owing to the fact that tho
husband Of the dead woman is said to
have recently warned him against his
alleged attentions to Mrs. Painter.
Linkenhokcr was formerly employed
on tho Norfolk and Western Railroad
as an engineer. and was discharged
recently because Of lax conduct. The
dead man was fortytive years old and
leaves a widow and FIVE children, while
Mrs. Painter is survived BY her nus
band and seven children.
Mrs. Painter was the wife OF an en-
Eineer employed on tho Norfolk and
old and native of Rockbridge County.
She was formerly Miss Grant, of Hor-
ace Creek
Both the man and woman lived In
the same neighborhood and were well
known among the railroad men here.
While details concerning the alleged
relations between Linkenhoker and
Mrs. Painter are mcasre, II is generally
thought that owing to the conditions
that existed the man and woman formed
"A pact to carry out tho tragedy When
tho bodies were discovered In the
street. a minute or SO after the shoot
ing. revolver vas lying between
thorn. Mrs. Painter was neatly dressed
In Il gray suit. black hat and Kid
gloves Linkenhokcr wore dark suit.
When the coroner arrived and OK
aniined the bodies he found that Mrs.
Painter had been shot Immediately be-
hind the right ear. and Linkenhok er
shot himself just under the left tom
pie. Death was instantaneous in both
cases
Mr. Painter. the husband OF the dead
woman. was not in the city at tho
time of the tragedy, having gone out
on his run In the afternoon.
Coroner Simmons will have jury
view tho bodies, but there Will be no
formal inquest. since there are no
witnesses to tho tragedy. Mrs Link
nnhoker and her children and tho
children of tho murdered woman were
overcome with grief
To.days dual tragedy makes three
suicides and two murders recorded in
the coroners Office within the past
week
Conductor Myers shot himself on
saturday night. Mrs. Fell drowned her
self in Roanoke River on Friday night,

PRECEDENT MAY
BE OVERTURNED.
Wilson Proposes to Spend Part
of Each Day at
Capitol.
PLAN CAUSES DISCUSSION
Leaders Reluctant to Discuss IT.,
Though Some Seem to
Approve.

Washington. February 27.-Lively
discussion was precipitated in congress
sional circles to-day by published
statement credited to President Elect
Wilson that he intended to spend part
of each working day in the Presidents
room at the Capitol. to keep in closer
touch with Legislative affairs. Such
action on the part OF the President
would overturn precedent which has
restricted the Presidents visits TO the
Capitol to the last hours of a session
of Congress
the reported plan of MIR. Wilson with
reluctance. though many seemed to
favor 1t.
'Tf President Wilson wishes to come
TO the Capitol and advise with Con-
gress. he will be welcome" said SEN
ator OGorman,
THE closer the President and Con-
gress can get in the transaction of
public business, the better 1t will be-"
said Senator Pomerene OF Ohio. His
expression was concurred in by Sem
ator johnson, Of Maine.
The chief reason for the long estab-
lished precedent keeping the President
in the White House. n mile away from
the Capitol, is said to he n sentiment in
interpreted as presidential encroach-
ment' upon the freedom OF action of
Congress.
Some Democratic leaders of the Sem
ate said they believed Mr.. Wilson
would find 1t impossible to leave his
executive duties and visit the Capitol
from day to day ard that he would not
find IT SO easy to confer over the pro-
gress Of legislation at the Capitol as
at the White House. Some Democrats
expressed the opinion that such visits
of n President might not be received
WITH favor 4 he came to take a hand
in shaping legislation.
Much Will depend on what he comes
for" said Senator Tillman. IF he
comes To advise with us, we shall be
glad to have him: IL he comes TO die
tate to US, and ! do not believe he
would. we should not want him here
When he has AN opportunity to study
conditions at a closer range ] think
he will change his mird about COM
ing"
Senators Fletcher, Democrat and
Burton, Republican. spoke approrinely
of the plan.
1--WE shall be glad 20 have him: II
will give US an opportunity TO get ac-
uuainted," said MIR. Burton.
1t is a good thing to do If the Fres-
ident can spare the time. To nave the
President in his room at the Capitol
would greatly facilitate business, said
Senator Fletcher.

THE CURRAN COMMISSION GOES
DEEPER INTO BABY-PLAcIN0
The Curran committee dug deeper
into Chicago's baby-placing business
this morning, finding out something
about the business of the Illinois
Children's Home and Aid Society.
r. ]. Bennett, the president of the
society, was on the grill, and didn't
appear to know much about its bust
ness.
When asked about sending babies
out of the state, he said the society
hadn't done it for 10 years, but had
confined it's operations to Illinois
although he was confronted with the
fact that So children had been sent
out of the state.
His attention was called to an adj
vertisement of the society saying that
young colored children would be
found homes among families of their
own race, while larger colored chill
dren would be found homes with
white families where they can rem
der such services as are peculiar to
southern families"
Asked if that didn't mean slavery,
Bennett said: ''No. Slavery was abol-
ished in 1861"
Member Lloyd of the committee
said slavery hadn't been abolished
when colored children were turned
over to white families, which of
course wouldn't adopt them, but
where they would be slaves.
Then Chairman CurTan went after
Bennett.
"You have been buffaloing the pub
lie so long," said .Curran, that you
think you are immune and nobody
can reach you. AS president of that
organization you don't appear to

SALVATION ARMY SENDS HALF
OF COLLECTIONS OUT OF U. S.
The Curran legislative commission
did not get very far in its probe of
the Salvation Army yesterday after
noon.
Commander Thomas Estin, in
charge of the Army in the western
states, was summoned before the
commission, chiefly because the COM
mission was curious about what was
done with ting Army Christmas col
lections.
Estill could not tell them much
about it, but he did make the rather
startling admission that $29,163 of
the money collected by the Salvation
Army in America last year had been
sent our of America.
The proportionate amount of this
can be gagged by Estill's sworn
statement that the Army's collections
in the western states for the same
year only amounted to $28,967, On
that basis, the Army apparently sends
about so per cent of the money it
collects out of America.
Estill said his salary was S35 a
week, and that the salary of Sneeton,
financial secretary for the western
states; was only $27.50.
