Having set the machinery In mo-
ton for the sale of Pine Camp in
lots. the question of the purchase of
a city farm is again revived by the
Administrative Board.
The board has been delegated by
Council to sell the tract, and to pur-
chase a city farm with the proceeds
or as such as may be found neces-
sary A number OF sites have been
visited by the board. It recently
recommended the purchase of the
Newstead farm. eight miles below

approximately reaching $4,000. This

lieving the price too high.

MUST GET LICENSE TO
HUNT OFF RESERVATION
lard Passes On Hunting Raghts
of Pamun11ey Indians.

Indians of the Pamunkey tribe will
be required to obtain licenses 10 hunt
on lands beyond the limits OF their
reservation. according to the ruling
made yesterday by Attorney-General
John Garland Pollard. The opinion
OF the attorney general was made at
the instance Of the Department of
Game and Inland Fisheries, request
having been made to that department
by the chief OF the Pamunkeys for
permission to hunt without licenses
on the lands surrounding their reser-
walton. Not being authorized to grant
such permission the question was re-
ferred to Mr. Pollard.
Several days ago Chief J. @. Cook.
of the Pamunkey tribe. called at the
Game Department, and stated that
his tribe has enjoyed traditional
right to hunt anywhere in Virginia in
return for the lands given to the State
by the red men. It is the opinion Of
Mr.. Pollard. however, that right to
hunt is only free on the Indian reser-
walton. and any members going be-
yond its limits IN search OF game will
be required to obtain the necessary
licenses.

Washington. Sept. 15.-So many
accidents have occurred at the In
dian Head proving grounds through
the firing of monster shells that navy
experts are urging the removal of the
testing station. Sandy Hook is the
place most spoken OF as the logical
successor to Indian Head.
The very latest accident that dis
plays the hazard of life in the vicinity
of Indian Head became known today.
When the first sixteen-inch projectile
ever hurled from a naval gun In this
country was fred. the huge shell tore
straight through a house.. Had the
shot been fired two minutes earlier.
Mrs. Mary Swami. and her two small
children would have been annihtlated.
Her husband, an employe at the prov
ing grounds, was one of the men who
helped load the great gun.
The 210O-pound shell pierced armor
plate OF the thickest and toughest
type known and smashed through the
heavy sand bank backing the plate.
Then the ton OF steel detected up
wards. and plugging downwards at
an agile OF As degrees went straight
through the frame house. Oddly
enough window panes within two
feet of the hole were unbroken.
Mrs Swami had just finished cook
ing dinner. The noon whistle had
blown. She took the dinner from the
stove and walked into the dining
pom. Her two little girls followed
her. Then came the crash. The shell
falling on the back porch wrecked the

Edward r. Power Dead.

Edward r. Power, we'll known
citizen and business man Of this
city, died at the home of his sis
ter, Mrs. j. F. Warnock, on South
Delaware, in this city Wednesday,
evening of last week after a long
illness of Bright's disease.
Mr.. Power was born at Farm
ington, New York, November 6,
1854, and in 1866 came with his
parents to this city, where his
father, NJ. S. Power, erected
small mill in the south part of the
city. This mill the first one in.
the city, was the start of the
large establishment on south Main
street now owned by the Cannon
Brothers. In 1877 Mr.. Power sold
his interest in the mill to his two
sons, E. r. and M. R., who con-
tinued to operate it until June l.
1916. when it was sold to Cannon
Brothers.
Mr.. Power always had charge
Of the boiler room and the ma
chinery part of the mill and he
was never so happy as when work
ing with his engines. You could
step into the engine room at any
time and find everything polished
and clean and the engines ready
to do their part.
He was a man of rather retiring
disposition and had few intimate
friends, but those who were so
fortunate as to be admitted to his
friendship found him to be a big
generous hearted, loyal friend.
Funeral services conducted by
Rev. George Scroggs, Of the Pres
byterian church, were held at the
home Saturday afternoon and in
tcrment made in Oak Hill cem-
etcry.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 4.-Maj.
William Warner, former United
States Senator from Missouri, died
ut his home here this afternoon.
Maj. Warner had been ill sew
eral weeks, his last sickness being
attributed by his friends to his
activities in connection with the
entertainment of the fiftieth an
aual reunion of the Grand Army
of the Republic. When his condi-
ton became critical three weeks
ago a TRANSMISSION of blood from
his son was resorted to in the hope
of increasing his strength, but the
improvement was only temporary.
Death was ascribed by physicians
to arteriosclerosis.
He was born in Lafayette Coun-
ty, Wisconsin, June IL, 1889, and
when six years old became an
orphan. From then on he prac-
tically made his own way in life,
first as . boy culling the mine
heaps Of Southern Wisconsin, then
as = driver Of . pump-horse at one
Of the mines near his home, and,
finally, years later, as an attorney
and public official. He educated
himself.
