urged before Congress that this pro-

who are punished are the men who

So mu1h for the first provision OF

the sailors. has deprived them of their
means OF livelihood, The second pro-
vision was intended, so we are i'm
formed. in the interest of passengers.
Its purpose was to insure safety in
time of accident or unusual danger
by requiring that the crews of vessels
should be able TO understand orders

Certain Facts Concerning
Our August
Home Furnishing
Sale

That it is the biggest event Of the sort we
have ever planned
That in Blankets, as well as in Brass and
Enamel Beds, Mattresses, Springs, ETC., there
are more distinetively high-class lines from
which to make selection
That, notwithstanding the general upward
trend of prices, many Of OUR prices largely
through the advantageous buying of large
quantities are considerably LOWER.
This is a fine opportunity for Young couples
just planning to housekeep, and for family
that will require additional Rugs, Beds and
Bedding Supplies when they move Septem-
ber l.

SWEEPING SEARCH IN
PROGRESS FOR MURDERER
Unidentified Body of Man Murderer
Several Days Found Near
NfarmOra.
YOUNG MAN DIES SUDDENLY
Taken Ill on Petersburg Car He Is
Taken to Doctors Office Mt Chester,
But Expires I'm short Time-Rcsi-
dencc Struck BY Lightning.

Petersburg, Va. Aug. IA sweep
ing search is being made by the au-
thortities of Amelia and Dinwiddie
Counties for evidence that will lead
to the arrest and conviction of the
person or persons who several days,
or maybe two weeks ago, murdered
white man apparently about thirty
years of age and partly concealed the
dead body in a hole near Marmora.
The body was discovered at an early
hour Sunday morning by Mr.. J. L.
Burton, in a badly decomposed and
mutilated condition, vultures having
discovered II some time before.
Around the neck of the dead body a
rope was securely tied to hold pill
low which had been placed beneath
the head while II was being conveyed
to the place of concealment. close
examination showed that the left side
Of the head had been badly crushed
by blow with some blunt instru-
ment.
A eoroners Jury was empaneled and
n verdict was subsequently rendered to
the effect that the stranger came to
his death at the hands OF some un-
known person or persons and the body
was buried near the spot where IL was
discovered.
Those who saw the body describe
it as being that of a man about five
feet, nine inches in height with dark
hair. How ii came to be or when II
was placed where 1t was found will
probably remain a mystery but there
are many who express the opinion
that the murder was committed some
distance away. perhaps at Hopewell
and carried there In an automobile
As the discovery was made very
close to the border line of Amelia and
Dinwiddle Counties every effort win
be made by the authorities of both
counties to hunt down the person re-
sponsible for the deed.

years. engaged for some time past as
a piano player at one of the numerous
cabaret shows at Hopewell, was taken
suddenly i'll on a Richmond and Peters
burg car while en- route from Richmond
~last evening. When the car reached
Chester the young man was removed
from 1t to the office of DR.. Hurt, where
everything possible was done to re-
lieve him, but he expired about 10
o'clock.
The body was later brought to Pc.
tersburg and turned over to Messrs.
J. T. Morriss & Son. who prepared it
for burial An uncle OF Mr.. Asher's
who lives In or near Norfolk, was
heard from this afternoon and he will
come to Petersburg to make arrange
ments for the funeral.

KING ALBERT
SAVES LIFE OF
FRENCH OFFICER

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Paris, April ia wounded soldier
in the Nantes hospital tells how King
Albert saved the life Of a French
officer.
During a furious bayonet charge a
lieutenant ventured too far into the
German lines and was brought down
by a rifle shot. He was grievously
wounded and evidently was thought
by the Germans to be dead. The
scene OF the conflict shifted and
though the officer was very weak
from loss Of blood he dragged himself
out Of the range OF fire, and then he
tainted.
On regaining consciousness he saw
two Belgian officers beside him, one
with a lantern and the other dressing
his wound. They picked him up care
fully and carried him to a motor car
in waiting in the road. Arriving at
the field hospital near the general
headquarters Of the Belgian army he
got q better view Of the two officers.
One OF them he recognized. saluted.
and started to speak but the King
hushed him.
"All right my brave hero" he said,

On the strength Of her well-told
story she obtained the official allow

collected a considerable amount in
subscriptions for an imaginary relief
work. besides many packages Of pro-
visions and clothing. the distribution
Of which, she said. she could facilitate
through her army relations. With the

blank space at the bottom Of a column
