brother, Judge Albert Putnam Cham
hcrlain in Goochland county on
Monday night. October 20, arrived
in Richmond last night in the person
Of A. Lee Chamberlain, twenty
eight ycar-old son Of the murdered

was the first intimation local autho-
rites had that any member of the
dead mans immediate family was
in existence The son stated that his
mother also was living, and would
have come to Richmond had her
health permitted.
The son and his mother learned Of
the grucsome tragedy enacted at
his fathers little home in the Gooch-
land hills from dispatches published
in newspapers at Des Moines, Iowa,
their home. At that time he was in
Missouri. His mother wired him, and
he FASTENED to Richmond at once.
Last night he conferred with Sheriff
w. w. Sydnor relative to what course
he should pursue in helping to bring
to Justice the slayer of his father.
,& Il ,,,,n1a iS
cuscd does not deter the young man,
though he wants the uncle treated
fairly and inpartially.
The young man has not seen MS
uncle since coming here, nor does
pr. Chamberlain yet know Of his ar
rival. Sheriff Sydaor is obeying in
strnciio,ls to the letter, and will per-
init ne one other than officers and
counsc! for the accused to see the
prisoner.

much about his Uncle Asa beyond the
fact that he successfully practiccd
medicine for many years at Strad-
ford. where he also conducted drug
store. he stated that il was true
that his uncle had been convicted OF
Illegally selling whisky at Stradford
It Sas about the time of the cs-
arrangement between his father and
mother, that his father came to Flr-
minia. Young Chamberlain said.

written to the Rev. Herbert S. Bige-
low, of Cincinnati, paciIist of that

every citizen of this republic and
said if. "as press reports indicate,
officials charged with the admins

JUDGE HAD A FAMILY Mr.. HOOVER EAPLAlNS
Tells What Food Conservation Means
-Enrollment of Food Card S'gners
Very Gratifying.

| Tho Food Administration IS some
,.not surprised that evidences OF mis-
,nnrohension as to the exact purpose
of its plan of food conservation are
still reaching Washington IN spite Oh
the wide educational campaign that
has been carried on by the Federal
Food Administrators through the
newspapers.
The mistaken idea that American
citizens are expected to reduce tnen
own consumption in order TO send
food to our Allies keeps creeping up.
1--WE do not ask our people to deny
themselves any food they need for
thcir health or enjoyment declared
i, Food Administration official today
"We are urging only that they sub
stitnte nourishing. palatable foods,
which we have in abundance for the
few commodities that we must snip
&c our Allies. We must send wheat,
meats. fats and sugar. There Is
no escape from that necessity ana
duty. We can do it easily if' we
will substitute corn and other cereals
for a part of our usual consumption
of wheat, use fish, poultry and eggs
instead Of part of our ordinary
amount OF meat. employ vegetable
oils instead of animal fats in cooking,
and save sugar by using syrups where
ever possible. This involves no hard
ship, no deprivation. In fact IT VIII
rsuallv increase the variety ana
palatability of our daily diet. But
II will release these other foods which
concentrate large amount OF nutrl-
tive value into small shipping space.
Combined with the elimination OF all
possible waste it will permit US to
keep our Allies supplied with food.
Food Administration officials are
highly gratified with the unan'm-
ity with which citizens of all states
are signing the Food Pledge cards.
From various localities come reports
that enrolment is much greater than
even the most optimistic expectations.
In many localities the enrolment
ircludes practically one hundred per
cent Of the population.
1t is stated that here in Alexandria
reports have been circulated to the
effect that the Federal authorities will
visit the homes later on and possibly
take away portion of the canned
vegetables and preserves that have
out put up. 1t ought not to be nee
essary to state that all such reports
are absolutely false. There is no
truth in them whatever, in any res
Eect.

due to the fact that Uncle Sam i

with the fact that the boys have ar
