HEALTH BOARD CALLS FOR
SAFE AND SANE FOURTH
Issues Warning Against Riotous and
Hilarious Celebrations Which Pile
Up Casualties.

The State Board OF Health IS to-day
sending forth to the authorities in
every city and county OF the State an
appeal for a sane and safe" observ-
ance OF the Fourth of July.
Unless there is a return to the Wig
ilance of some years ago. when State
and city authorities started in earnest
~ to reform the old fashioned riotous
and hilarious Independence Day, the
health doctors declare, there Will be
even greater casualties this year than
were recorded last year when police
vigilance was relaxed.
The bulletin of the board reads, In
part. as follows:
The people Of the Commonwealth
are strongly urged TO do their part this
year In observing July with celebra-
tons which Will not endanger life and
limb. Attention is again directed to
the fact that failure to do this in past
years has cost many hundred their
vision or the use OF their limbs.
According to the statistics compiled
by the American Medical Association.
the total casualties. killed and injured
from Fourth Of July accidents during
the last seven years. have been as fol-
lows: 1904. 4.I69; 1905. 5,176: 1906, 5.46s;
1907. 4.4l3: 1905. $3.50: 1909. 5.3o7; 1910,
1929; 1911, 1903; 1912, 9S6; 1913, 1895;
1914. 1916.
These figures show that despite the
casualties from accidents on July 4,
1914, were higher than they had been
since 1911 The reason is that the
low record made in 1912. when only
II were killed and s45 injured, gave
false sense OF security. Unless the
press again arouses people to the dan
ger. we shall soon revert to the condi-
tfons that were a national disgrace
prior to 1911.
The only safe rule to follow is to
take no chances. This applies partic-
ularly to parents whose children, with
the heedlessness of immaturity, beg
for the privilege of exploding fireworks
and toy cannon. If these parents yield
and an accident follows. they blame
themselves for the shattered hands or
the lost vision or the manned bodies OF
their children. II the parents turn the
celebration into some other channels
than fireworks, they can readily avert
the danger The board would like to
see this rule universally applied in Vir-
ginia."

INQUEST POSTPONED
Further Investigation to Be Made Into
Walker Shooting.

The absence from the city OF Attor-
ney H. NJ. Smith, Jr.. yesterday caused
Coroner Taylor to postpone the con-
tinued inquest into the death OF Armi-
stead Walker. ITO East Leigh Street.
who was shot and killed on the night
of June 20 by his son. Russell Walker

ued until Saturday the hearing of the
case in the Police Court, when he
learned the inquest would not be con-
cluded until Friday. Russell Walker
was bailed in the sum OF $4,000 by his
mother.
Detectives at work on the case con-
tinue their Investigations. and 1t is
said will produce several witnesses to
contradict the statements made by
Maggie Walker and the son immedi-
ately after the shooting. The negro
population of the city has become con-
siderably aroused over the case. and
many conflicting rumors have come to
the police regarding 1t. These are be-
ing traced to a source. as far as is pos
sible. A crowd of about two hundred

MINIATURE ALMANAC.
BLUES ASK CONTRIBUTIONS
Fund for Western Trip I. Short 1000,
and Some May BE Left

THE impression created by the after
noon papers that the Blues have a
sufficient sum of money to defray the
expenses of the trip to San Francisco
is entirely erroneous" said Lieutenant
J. G. Earnest, adtutant of the Blues
Battalion last night. I'VE need at least
$4,000 yet. and unless we are able to
raise that amount by Friday morning
1T will be necessary to leave eight or
ten men at home. We have made every
effort TO reduce the deficit entirely,
but so far have fallen short that
amount, but we still hope the citizens
of Richmond will come to our assist
ance. SO that we may be able to take
enough men to make the best show
ing possible"
An extra assessment has been levied
on each man signed up for the trip,
but that has not been suf1 cient to
bring the total deficit below $4,000 A
number of additional applications to
make the trip have been received by
Major Bowles from men who at FIRST
did not indicate their intention of
going. Because OF the lack of funds,
1t Will be impossible to take these
last Corners.
Contributions may be sent to Major
Bowles or Lieutenant Earnest to-day.
