Jail as an alien enemy. He Is being
held under the provisions of section

is said to have confessed his guilt and
pleaded for clemency Immediately
after his arrest. but Officer Pollen
said last night that he abandoned this
role before he saw him. He said
that Main stoutly prociaims himself
to be as good an American as any
one and defes anyone to disprove IT.
Main was arrested after w. f

Kansas to Escape Draft and
Wounds Himself Here.
PUTS BULLET IN HIS FOOT
Have Told Sheriff Sydnor. He Shot
Himself to Escape Military Service.

Confessing that he had wounded
himself for fear of CONSUMPTION, Ed
ward Norbert Hyatt, aged twenty-five
years, lies at Grace hospital with a
painful though not serious wound in
the foot.
Hyatt Is presumably the scion Of
fine family. with his home in Topeka,
Kan He was among the first to be
dra wn in the first draft. In fear and
trembling. according to Sheriff Webb
Sydnor, of Henrico county, who took
him to the hospital yesterday after
noon. he came to Virginia in order
to get away from the clutches of Uncle
Sam. Finding that no easy thing to
do, in his desperation. said the sheriff,
he resorted to the expedient of In
capacitating himself. and as he wan
dered along Broad Street road several
miles from the city, he fired bullet
through his foot.
Before that he was considered fine,
manly, gallant sort of fellow.
Persons in the neighhorhood of the
shooting found young Hyatt with his
bleeding foot. They notified the
county officers and he was hurried
to the hospital, where it was reported
last night that he was not suffering
much and was getting along nicely.
A long distance telephone message
from A. \. Bacon, of Harrisonburg,
Va, was received at police headquar-
ters last night, inquiring about Hyatt.
Bacon stated that he was the mans
brother-in- law. When Hyatt heard
that Bacon had inquired about him
he eagerly hesought his nurse to sum-
mon him to his bedside. Mr. Bacon
will probably reach Richmond this
morning and arrange to take the in
jured man to Harrisonhurg

Frequently inexpensive Cleanup OF

Reports received by the state board
OF health during the last few weeks
show that malaria has appeared in
many parts of the commonwealth and
that active "war-measures" of proven
ton are necessary If the state Is to
be spared serious visitation of
"chills and fever" this summer and
autumn.
These reports come not only from
counties which have been known TO
be infected for years. but also from
a number of resorts and from other
districts where malaria is not usually
to be found. In many localities from
which malaria has not yet been re-
ported. mosquitoes are said to be pre-
valent in large numbers. Where this
is the case. the state board antici-
pates that malaria will break out uL-
less active preventive steps are irme-

ment of the board. is more than apt
to make its appearance.

board of health has carried on mum :

the practical character of sanitary
measures for the prevention OF ma

where malaria had been on the in
crease for a number of years and was
threatening. the economic life OF tho
community, the state board. with local
assistance, undertook campaign OF
drainage and screening that prscti-
cally rid the countryside of malaria. A
like campaign Is now in progress in
another county and Is yielding most
excellent results.
Where malaria is confined to a very
small area--such as single farra-

TWO CITIES MUST
HOE THEIR OWN ROW
Richmond and Petersburg Must Work
= Together in Order to Build New
Inter-City Highway.
NO HELP FROM WASHINGTON
Meeting Held at Williamsburg Yester-
day I'm Interests of Building of New
Highway from Richmond to Old
Point.

That the communities of Richmond,
Petersburg and the interlying dis
tricts must depend largely upon their
own efforts to raise the fund neces
sary for the construction of the pro-
posed highway between Richmond
and Petersburg was indicated last
night by Wyndham r. Meredith upon
the return from Washington of the
committee selected to bespeak the aid
of the government in the work.
The committee interviewed Walter
l.. Page. United States commissioner
of roads, and his assistant, St Julien
Wilson. Mr.. Meredith said that moth
ing specific was accomplished by the
committee. that they had not hoped
to do so, but that they had received
much encouragement. The law COW
ering the sum apportioned each state
yearly for highway work Is very strict
and the 100000 allotted Virginia
this year is already largely accounted
for. The money has not been spent.
but it has been apportioned to sew
eral localities where road construc-
ton and repair is much needed
The estimated cost of the road is
placed at not less than 100000. In
instances of this nature, the state
usually meets the communities half
way and contributes dollar for
every one raised by other sources,
1tlally in the form of free convict
labor. The business men of Rich
mond and Petersburg are much in.
terested in the project, regarding II
as a permanent means OF facilitat
ing the intercourse, both comm ercia1
and otherwise. between the cities.
Business men say that roads built to
accommodate heavy AUTOMOBILE trucks
would do much towards building mp
a thriving trade between the whole
sale and retail businesses of Rich
mond. Petersburg and Hopewell
