way through Mecklenburg County to-
wards Roanoke river. This informa-
ton, which was gained by The Vir-
Rinian last night through letter from
one of its subscribers In that county.
has been turned over to the police.
Vann, tired, bedraggled and hungry,
applied to farmers wife for food
four miles from Lacrosse. Va, and
when his hunger was satisfied was
seen going towards the Roanoke river.
He told her that he had had nothing
TO eat for two days and was nearly
starved. The farm house was four
miles from the railroad and Is sell
dom visited by tramps. The writer
describes the clothing worn by Vann,
and states that he tallies exactly with
the description given of him in The
Nirginian In her letter to this pa
per, the lady, whose name Is withheld
by request, stated that Vann was
wearing "A large brown felt hat and a
dark suit of clothes Vann Ia part
Indian and Is six feet and one inch

The letter In question was turned
over to the police last night. with
an understanding that the lady's

West show on October q, according
to. the police. Charles M. Cope, county
attorney of Usage County, Oklahoma,

him Through nm arrangement at
the local postoffice. Cope was tipped
off to his man, when Vann called for
his mail The officer followed Vann
to the street, and. pulling his gun,
told him to throw up his hands. Vann,
with a grin, complied with his orders
and was backed into the postoffice
A clerk called to Cope TO call pa
troll wagon, and for an instant Cope
turned his head. 1t was over In a
second. Vann struck his hand and
the gun went spinning to the floor
Vann reached the gun first and COW
cred the officer, backing out OF the
postoffice and escaping.
The entire police force combed the
city for him without success Word

GARDNER DECLARES
: TINE HAS CONE
FOR AWAKENING
UNITED STATES AT MERCY OF ANY
FIRsT-CLAss PowER-IDEALIsM
AND TREATIES no PROTECTION
AGAINST POWERFUL ENEMIES.

washington. Oct. 16.-The unpre-
paredness of the United State for an
oHenstve or defensive war was dis
cussed at length in the house today by
representative Gardner. Of Massachus-
etts, VINO yesterday offered n resolu-
ton providing for the creation of
commission to make inquiry. Taken
10 TASK by the Democrats for making
statements likely to expose the un-
preparedness OF the United States for
war. Mr.. Gardner exclaimed, 81
learned while abroad this summer that
Europe KNOWS more about our lamen
table unpreparedness than the people
OF this country. Mr.. Gardner declared
that the country is woefully deficient
In equipment and men and that the
navy lacks men. and that 1t does not
have on hand a sufficient number OF
torpedoes for single engagement.
THE naval board" he continued
year after year. dins in our ears the
story of the unpreparedness OF our
navy In report after report General
Leonard Wood tells the like story OF
the army and he pleads with us to
awaken from our awful lethargy and
grapple this question on which our
nations safety depends.
I'VE have been salving our con-
sciences by trying TO persuade our
selves that no nation will be 80 mad
as to attack the United States. Are
we so sure of that fact any longer, my
friends? Suppose some powerful ma i.
tion finds itself inconvenienced by our
Monroe Doctrine while II hesitates to
attack us because an ideaiisttc states.
man has devised a scheme for arbitra-
ton.
You heard OF the submarine U-s
a lp1t oil IN
destroyed three British cruisers with
three torpedoes. Perhaps you think
we might do something OF the sort
We might. perhaps. II we had the tor
pedoes, but we have not got them.
We only have about 1000 torpcdoes
where we ought to have ten times that
number,
Great Britain has forty-two dread :
naughts and dreadnaught cruisers
built and building; and Germany has
twenty-six, and We have twelve. Ger
many has forty-two submarines and we
are fourth on the list with twenty
eight, So It goes.
II our fleet cannot stop the enemy's
feet the enemy can land his troops
wherever he wishes on our coast. and
we have no army with which TO OPP
pose him.
THE blame for our insecurity rests
on Republicans and Democrats alike,
but the root Of the whole matter ia
deeper. The country has never yet
been awakened to the understanding
that forty-two centimetre guns and
super present stronger
arguments than past victories and
present treaties. The time has come
for US to rub our eyes and look about
u.s."

they had ever attended. That warm
Southern hospitality. that way of turn
ing over the keys of the city to its
visitors, won the bankers as 1t had
won others to Richmond. Everything
possible was done by Richmond citi-
2ens to take care of the convention,

entire convention nothing but COM
pliments have been showered upon

general secretary of the associa tion,

best ever held The total attendance
including visitors, Is estimated IN ex-
cess Of $500. and 1t was one of the
most representative bodies that ever
gathered in a Southern city. 1t was
the unanimous opinion of those who
attended that better Accommodations
and conveniences were never given
anywhere.
The information bureau, which was
esta blished for tho benefit of the Wis
itors succeeded In recovering and re-
turning to its owners different articles
