ALLEGED MURDER.
After Dragging up Bones Father
Causes Arrest Of Boys Former
Companion.

Richmond, July AFTER digging
ND the bones of corpse buried sew
eral days ago on theSbanks Of a rlver :.
twenty miles north of~Richmond and
positively identifying it as that OF
his son, Howard A. Newman, VINO as :,
appeared some weeks ago, Wlilsam u
Newman, an ex-poicenan and fathei
of Mrs. w. C. Summers, of 2l9 "es'
Thirty-sixth street Park Place. MOI
folk, yesterday swore out warrant
before a Hanover county magistrate
charging a former companion of his
son with murder.
1t is the theory Of Newman tnat
his son was murdered in Richmond
the night of his disappearance ana
his body was conveyed to the river
and thrown in at point some dis
lance above where it was washed up
on the bank.
When it was discovered it had been
picked by the buzzards to such an
extent that it was almost skeleton.
Newman identified it by means of a
gold filled tooth and the shoes which
were still intact.

CONDITIONS IN ULSTER.

Belfast, Ireland, July 1.-Ulstel
Volunteers, with rifles and fixed bayo-
nets, paraded the streets here today
in full uniform under instructions
from Lieutenant General Sir George
Richardson, as notice to the authori.
ties, it was said, that "Ulster will
fight"
Only fewIof the volunteers ap-
peared today, but it is believed the
order is part Of unionist plan to
show the movements strength in Bel
fast, and that, unless means are
found to prevent the display, the
the whole section probably will
be full of martial figures within the
week.

KILLING OF BALLOU
Mrs. Angle Released on Five Thou
sand Dollars Bail.

Stamford, Conn.,, July definite
announcement was made yesterday
that the police are working on the
theory that Waldo R. Bal!ou, the
AGED political leader, whose death
early last Week is under investiga-
ton, was murdered.
There was also an intimation that
the bail bond of Mrs. Helen NJ.
Angle. at whose apartments Ballou
Was visitor on the night of his
Leath, might. be recalled. She is now
at liberty under $4,000 bonds, await
ing the outcome of the coroner's in
quiry. * ftN:' ssseW
1t was learned that while the po-
lice do not believe Mrs. Angle had
any direct connection with the death,
they do believe she knows who was
responsible for it and be regarded
as very material witness. The
theory on which the police, it is I'M
derstood, are working is that a Sc
ond man was in the Angle apartment
after Ballou left Tueslay night, that
the latter returned unexpectedly and
found hint there and that a quarrel
ensued, during which Ballou received
the blow which caused mis- death. The
police claim to be in possession CT
evidence to substantiate this theory,
and which, it is said may lead to an
arrest.

MRS. HALLS CASE.
Prosecution to Ask That She be
Charged With Burning of
Property.

Richmond, Va, July 1.-The trial of
Mrs. Victor Hall charged with the
murder of her husband on the morning
of April IS, is set for July IA, three
months after the terrible tragedy that
created CONSERVATION in the neighbor-
hood of Green Springs, Louisa county,
and aroused interest throughout the
state. .a n,
The next grand jury will be asked
to indict Mrs. Hall on several arson
charges, including the burning of W.R.
Dunkum's store, the burning of the
railway station at Green Springs, and
twice attempting to. bum her own
home.
While the Commonwealth is conf
dent of conviction, it is certain that
the case will develop one of the most
sensational legal battles in the crimi-
nal history of the state. Mrs. Hall
will be represented by R. Lindsay Cor
don.
Mrs. Hall is now at her home, the
restrictions place on her bond that
she must remain out of Louisa county
previous to her trial having been re-
moved by the court. She is closing
out her business at Green Spring, and
in event of acquittal, will possibly

Williamson, w. Va, July 1.-Trap-
ped in an entry of the Sycamore mine
several miles from here, five miners
met their death this morning when
fire spread from a fan house to the
place in which they were working.
Twenty orher miners, who usually
are in the same shift owe their
lives to the fact that they were late
at work having stopped to drink
farewells to the closing of West Vir-
ginia saloons.
Word was sent to the Bureau of
Mines station at Fairmont immedi.

ANOTHER ASSAULT.
Young Woman Attacked in Richmond
Sunday Night.

f.
Richmond, July, Miss Matte
Smith, of 1910 West Clay street, was
assaulted and frightened into uncon-
seriousness by an unknown white man
near the corner of the Boulevard and
Reservoir Park about 7.30 O'Clock
Sunday night. She was found still
unconscious by two gentlemen who
live in the neighborhood about four
hours later; and revived.
Miss Smith was able to give good
description Of her assailant and the
entire Richmond police force is on
the lookout for him.
The story came to light late Mon
day afternoon, before which time
Miss Smith was unable to give con-
nected account of the affair. When
questioned by detectives who were as
signed to the case, Miss Smith seemed
still excited and highly nervous.
Miss Smith has only recently left
local hospital, where she had come
from her home at Louisa for treat
ment. While in Richmond to recup-
crate somewhat from a serious opera
ton, Miss Smith was staying with a
cousin, a street car conductor, who
resides at 1910 West Clay.
The girl is only eighteen and is
extremely unsophisticated in the
ways Of the city. She remembers
nothing that transpired from the time:
; her arm was grabbed at about 730
o'clock Sunday night until she was
revived four hours later.
Miss Smith had been asked to take
key, which was carried by her cous-
in, out to the Virginia Railway and
Power Company's terminal office at
Reservoir Park for her cousin, who
was temporarily confined to his bed.
She says that while waiting for a car
to come back home, she strolled to-
wards the race track, only a block
away. Just as she reached the corner
she was accosted. What direction the
assailant took in making his get-a-
way could not be learned.
Two men returning home late that
night saw her body lying half hid be-
meath a hedge along the roadway and
went to investigate. The girl was pull
ed out and from all appearances SEEM
ed to have escaped injury. 1t was
seen that she was still breathing and
restoratives were used. She was soon
revived and was able to walk. To
the men who offered to accompany
her home she said that she was able
to get along all right, and after
thanking them for their assistance
caught car for her home.
She arrived there shortly after II
O'Clock ard the entire household was
up and seemed very much alarmed
over her absence. The terminal Office
had been 'phoned and the family was
tod that she had delivered the kew
there two hours before and had said
that she was going home.
1t seems that when Miss Smith
tainted. her assailant was frightened
and made his escape. The young
girl told the police that she had re-
ceived no bodily injury.
Miss Smith is considered a very
beautiful girl.

General GoethaIs
Says no Violation
ralityKnown
RY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Dec. 17.-Col. Goethals
informed the war department today
that excepting reports of misuse of
wireless, he knew of no violation OF
neutrality at the Panama canal zone.
He suggested that under the circum-
stances neutrality might be violated
without detention or proof unless he
had ships to patrol the waters.
Gov. Goethals sailed from Colon to-
day on his way to Washington to
appear before congressional commit
tees in charge of canal appropria-
tions.
Secretary Garrison, in statement
today said Col. Goethals' approaching
visit was made only so he could ap-
pear before congress on canal appro-
priations.
His visit to the United States has
nothing whatever to do with this mat
ter of neutrality, and / cannot too
strongly emphasize the fact that there
has been nothing whatever sensational
in this incident, excepting that which
has been impaired to it by the news
papers," said Mr.. Garrison.
The secretary OF the navy informs
me that he had ordered one ship to
proceed Immediately and will prob
ably order others If necessary TO ham
die the wireless situation. / am in
forming Gov. GoethaIs today of this
fact and also that the secretary of
the navy will give instructions to the
commanders of the ships to aid +he
zone authorities in any needed way to
preserve neutrality"
The British ambassador assured
Secretary Daniels today that II there
had been any violation Of neutrality
by British ships, it had been unin-
tentional and that his government was
anxious to observe most scrupulously
rules of neutrality which the United
States was trying to enforce.
