In his convict sarb In Rappahannock

The frst intimntion OF an effort to
enlist the sympathy OF the prison Of
ficials and the Governor In tho cnse OF
the Arizona man came yesterday. when
Interested persons began searching tho
hles of the newspapers at the state LII
brary for the printed reports of Wicha-
ways trial. These reports disclose
that tho cowboy was n member of the
company OF cowboys attached to the
'1o1 Ranch Wild West" Mt the James,

was known OF the man or his history
even by the officers of tho incorporate ed
concern which then owned the wild
West show or by tho general manager
OF the show, Charles w Rex. of Rich

STORY OFT SHOOTING
NEAR NEWPORT NEWS.
Wichnway had a sweetheart known

Joining Newport News In Warwick
of tho show from Norfolk for New
York Wichawny went to the woman's
house. Passersby heard tho report OF
revolver and entering the house
found the cowboy standing beside the
dead body of the girl. He told the of
he had accidentally slain the woman
He explained that he had called to bid
her hood bye; that while they were
chatting he had drawn tho gun from
IT'S holster in his belt and was toying
with 1T, twirlinB the weapon around on
his foreinSer, a common practice with
the cowboys Of the show. when II ex-
ploded and the bullet entered the girls
body, killing her instantly. This story
was generally discredited. 1t was
Wichaway's only defense. The wild
West show. with all OF Wichaway's
companions, had departed and nona OF
tho showmen evinced any interest in
the fate OF the man left behind.
The cowboy was not entirely with
out means and he brought a lawyer
from Arizona. whom he had known In
his boyhood days, to Newport News to
defend the case. That there was some
doubt as to the guilt Of the cowboy in
the minds Of the jury was indicated
by the penalty prescribed. At the end

The nssligee shirts with starched
cuffs continue to be the choice OF men
who have not yet gotten completely
over the idea that soft Gun is I'M
tidy.
The large shaped scarf will be the
choice OF men who have a reputation
for being well dressed and will be
shown In plain colors as well as
Oriental and Persian pattern effects.
They VIII be made with loose flowing
ends and wiz tie In q larger knot
than has been considered proper
heretofore. A number OF imported
silks will be shown. because since
the reduction OF the tariff large num-
bers OF these silks have found their
way Into the manufacturing plants OF
America. and they seem to be q little
more distinctive than silks woven In
America. In fact. foreign silks win
be In vogue not only for their beau
ty, but because Of the fact that when
manufacturers were creating their
fall lines the silk mills OF the east
were tied up by strikes and there
was no available supply OF yardage
on hand from which they could work.
The Ascot shape will be worn in a
moderate way and will be considered
correct for use with frock coats and
Prince Albert coats. The knitted tie
will, OF course, maintain its popular
ity, not only for its beauty, but be-
cause OF the fact that 1t Is the most
serviceable type of neckwear man
can buy. In fact. II is SO serviceable
and has reduced the percapita use OF
|neckwear In America TO such an ex-
tent that the manufacturers have
tried very hard to discourage its use.
Wool REFERS and silk knitted reef
ers for street wear will also be In
popular demand and win be at their
best when imported from Scotland
and England.
When the washable glove was hrst
created 1t was produced primarily for
spring and summer wear, but 1t be.
came popular SO quickly that manu-
facturers have learned 1t did just as

SILK hosiery will OF course lead all

II has come to be regarded as neces-
sity and is being worn by men In

fall wear will be shown In black and
a number Of attractive plain colors.
The underwear which will be
shown In the better classes Of shops
this fall will contain q larger number
of imported garments than ever be-
fore. Foreign manufacturers have
been put on an equal footing with
American manufacturers through tar
In changes and you will find quite an
assortment OF French, German. Aus
TRAN and English brands to choose
from. Though these garments were
prohibitively priced before the
change In the tariff took effect they
will now be brought within the reach
OF those who usually spend but a
moderate amount for underwear. The
athletic type OF sleeveless underwear
will be shown by many retailers for
fall. because there has been q decid-
ed demand for the comfort which
these garments AFFORD. and a great
many men wear them the year round.

arty Government
in United States

The genesis, nature and working
of American political parties has
been little understood even in
America, and until recently there has
existed no authoritative treatise upon
this subject by an American author,
although able Europeans, such as
Bryce and Ostrogorski, have written
about 1t. Party government In the
United States of America" by Pro-
lessor William NJ. Sloane. of Column
bia University, just published by the
Harpers, thus supplies a real need;
for Professor Sloane, unlike the for
eign writer's. possesses besides schol-
arship, the elusive natiVe-born in
stinct. Practically, Professor Sloane
retells the whole of the United
States history, down to and including
the recent developments OF President
Wilson's administration, from the
point of view of party. Parties. he
points out in the beginning, afford
to Americans a sort of safety valve
for ambition and a means of politi-
cal education, without endangering
the stability of government.
He shows that In America there
have never been in reality more than
two parties, and that these two have
differed fundamentally upon the ques-
ton of strict or loose construction,
however much these issues have been
incrusted with other issues or modi-
fled by practical necessities of the
day and hour. How partisanship,
hated by the formers of the constitu-
ton, grew and developed the extra
legal convention system, how the
pnwar nf fhp axQrl1fiUa aa rapraSanfa
tive of the people and as party lead
er increased until the President be-
came a premier; how parties affect
courts, Congress, city government,
national defense-all this, treated in
a broadly philosophical spirit and yet
in detail makes a new and fascinat-
ing story of national evolution.
