Expire from Two Wounds
When Found.
MOTIVE is UNKNOWN
William A. Poland, Found in Room
with Her, Mortally Wounded-He Is
Placed Under Arrest. : 5E

Washington, July 10.-Shot twice
in the left breast as she lay in bed il
a room at 1926 Twenty-third street
Twining City, early today, Mrs. Lois
Nalyor, twenty-five years old, buyer
for a Seventh street department
store, lies dead in Casualty Hospital
| while William A. Poland, thirty
eight years old, who was in the room
with Mrs. Naylor, and who is alleged
by the police to have done the shoot
ing, lies in the same hospital in &
serious condition with bullet just
above the heart.
A charge of murder has been pre-
ferred against Poland.
Deepest mystery surrounds the mo-
tive for the shooting. Poland de-
clares that the shots which killed
Mrs. Naylor and wounded him were
fired by third party. The police say
however, that they are convinced
there was no one else in the room
and that the evidence against Pol
and warranted charging him with
the killing.
Mrs. Naylor and Poland were
boarders at the house in Twinine
City, which is conducted by Mr.. and
Mrs. William L. wilkins. Mr.. Nay
lor had not lived with her husband of
,late.
The shooting occurred in Poland's
room, IL inc iiont of the second
floor. Mrs. MAYORS room was a
small one adjoining in the front of
the house.
The police say that the revolver
with which the shooting was done,
and which was found on the foot of
the bed, belonged to Poland. Ac-
cording to Mr.. and Mrs. Wilkins, he
had kept it on a small table at the
head Of the bed for the last two
weeks.
Mrs. Naylor went down the river
on "a boat leaving the Seventh
street wharf Mt 6:45 o'clock last
night. The police have not been able
to learn whether Poland was with
her. They returned to Twining City
together about midnight, and, &C.
cording to the conductor on the car
Poland semed to be quarreling with
the woman.
Mr.. and Mrs. wilkins, according
! to the police, say Mrs. Taylor re.
peated, several tins tn remark

Movement in Richmond City
Council to Check Gifts
to Conventions.
NUMBER IS GROWING
Hereafter but Few State Associations
Will Be Aided by City Fathers
When They Meet.

Richmond, July 10.-The City
Council of this city recently took the
initiative in a movement to compel
the managers Of church entertain
ments and those conducted in the in
terests Of charity to pay licenses
taxes as 10 others engaged in simi
lar enterprises. 1t is now proposed
in the same body to put stop to
the indiscriminate appropriation of
money to entertain delegates who
may wish to hold conventions in this
city in future.
Hereafter conventions of the pure
ly intrastate type will be given no
appropriation by the Council Com
mittee on Advertising and Enter
prises to assist in the entertainment
of their delegates, except in rare
cases in which the committee is con-
vinced that assistance should be ac-
corded. The new policy was formu-
lated at meeting held by the COM
mittee last night, during which the
question was abated at length.
President Adams, of the Board Of
Aldermen, as member of the commit
tee, served warning that except in
extraordinary cases, he would here
after vote against any appropriation
to a state convention. The practice
Of giving indiscriminatcly to every
State organization that chooses to
hold its annual meeting in Richmond
he said, has been carried too far, and
It was his belief that in several re-
cent appropriations Of this character
the committee had acted with more
generosity than wisdom.
"This committee was created pri-
marily to aid in bringing to Rich
mond conventions and enterprises of
l national character. It's primary
purpose is to advertise Richmond
outside the state and in that manner
attract to the city outside industries
and investments. Unless we take
a definite stand, to cut off all appro-
priatlons for State conventions and
adhere strictly to this principle, it
will not he long before the appropri-
:tion to this committee will be with
1rawn, and | will be one of those in
the Council to vote for the with
drawal."
Councilman Ratcliffe declared his
sympathy with the views of Mr.. Adj
ans and announced his Intention n
follow the same rigid practice in the
'ase of all appropriations for State
conventions. President Peters of
the Common Council, chairman Of the
committee, indorsed restrictive mol.
Icy' but thought that cases mirbt
,flSe IN winch an appropriation for
"he convention Of a State body would
nc desirable. Each application bn
thought, should come up on its orr
nierlt. The same view was held bv
Alderman Mitchell.

! Gordonsville, July l0.-On the
plains to the north of the small town
! Of Gordonsville a miniturc village is
being rapidly erected. The buildings
are squatty and unattractive to the
eye, but they are for untility and not
for beauty. The structures are be-
ing built for the State Of Virginia,
and will be for the comfort Of the
troops who will go into summer camp
there in less than two weeks.
Adjutant- t-General Sale is receiving
encouraging reports from the camp
site. Although it was only selected
as a last resort, the place is being
rput into shape rapidly, and the officers
report successful one. The most en-
couraging feature is the fact that the
heavy rains have not affected the
hgrounds, the water being absorbed by
1.-The soil almost as rapidly as it fell,
making a repetition of the distressing
conditions of last summer at Virginia
Beach an impossibIlity.

The Cincinnati police are puzzled
over the finding yesterday Of the mu-
tilated body of Edward Feagan, a
non-union carpenter foreman, of Nor
| wood, suburb, in sub-cellar of a
building. The man had been brutally
beaten to death, but from appearance
he had put up valiant fight for his
life. The authorities as yet have no
clue as to who his assailants were or
how he came to be in the sub-cellar. A
strike of union carpenters has been
in progress in Cincinnati for the last
three months. According to fellow
workmen, Feagan was 7G years old,
but very active for his age.

WAR NEWS

From reports today on the sit
uation in Mexico it is learned that
the American forces are in COM
plete possession OF the city Of
Vera Cruz. The engagement
took place Wednesday and in the
clash four Americans and $50
Mexicans were killed. Great an
xiety is felt in Washington over
the situation and fears for the
life Of Charge d'Affairs O'Shau-
ghnessy are expressed. The tel.
egraph wires from Mexico City
are cut and nothing can be learn
ed from the Mexican capitol.
Huerta has given Charge
O'Shaughnessy his passports and
this action in itself constitutes a
complete breach of diplomatic
relations between Huerta and
the United States, although it
does not constitute an actual de-
claration of war. Congress on
Wednesday passed a formal just
ifcation of President Wilson's
command to use armed forces in
Mexico.
