WOODCUTTER
MAY BE FREED
FROM PRISON
Lou Hall Still Maintains In
nocence of Eva Roy
Murder.

One more effort will be made to
obtain a confession from Lou Hall,
the woodcutter, held for the murder
of little Eva Roy. II the attempt to
break down his story fails. It is be-
lieved that the man will be released
from Fairfax Jail
This is the decision understood to
have been reached recently by off,
cials in charge OF the investigation Of
the murder Belief that Hall is inno-
cent OF the crime is becoming general
in Fairfax County, especially in the
vicinity of the scene OF the murder
When the man was first arrested.
practically the entire community was
convinced of his guilt. but since the
case against him seems to have failed
to fasten the crime on him definitely.
the opinion of the accused mans
former neighbors has undergone a
decided change.
Several attempts to obtain a con-
fession from Hall have failed entirely.
Shortly after his arrest he was con-
fronted with a strip OF gingham sup
posed to have been found in his
house. and matching exactly the apron
neck. Hall declared that he had
never seen the soiled bit of linen
before. and it was eventually proved
that the evidence" had been planted
against the man by persons interested
in convicting him OF the crime
FrRme-up Fails.
A few days ago detectives inves-
tigating the case attempted to
scare him into confessing by plant
ing ghost in the cell adjoining hts.
The sheeted figure called on Lou
Hall to confess and save himself
from the spirits vegeance.
The dramatically staged attempt
was a total failure. Hall refused
to declare himself a murderer even
to please the ghost.
The authorities OF Fairfax county
have secured the county and part
of the State in their effort to locate
the murderer, but in vain.

PROFITS IN SWISS CHEESE.

The report of the COOPERATIVE
Swiss Cheese Exporters for the busi-
ness year of 1917. found in a copy of
the Berner Tagwacht OF June IA, Just

that the Swiss were planning to in
crease the size of the holes Ia their
famous product In order to make
their business more profitable have a
shaky foundation.
Vast profits, made at a time when
the vast majority of the Swiss peo-

Rooms must be made available for
war workers who are arriving daily
in Washington in great numbers. 1t
has been estimated that at least 5000
rooms will be needed to house the
slerks, typists and stenographers who
arrive in early fall. Nearly 800 war
workers are arriving daily and it Is
important that they be housed.

not exempt and neither are the hum

The government must house these
workers, and while no threat has
been made to commander rooms,
1t Is entirely within the range of
possibility that such a situation may
arise. Unless a sufficient number of

probable that the government will

The Woodrow Wilson" airway will

day when two postofice airplanes
make their maiden trip from New

Both planes will carry mail, and
their pilots expect TO hit an average
clip OF eighty miles an hour. which
will make the Journey a ten-hour af-

the fastest train between the two
cities. The return trip from Chicago

The s0-mile an hour speed will be
maintained unless strong head winds

the speed to seventy miles an hour.
In this event, the machines will arrive
in Chicago at o'clock in the after

The schedule includes a delay OF
thirty minutes each at Lock Haven,
Cleveland and Bryan for gas and oil.
The purpose OF the trip, according to

will be necessary for the ultimate es-

An added feature OF the initial voy-

ID CLEAN UP
 AND CLEAN OUT

Next Tuesday the people of King man are to foregather in the highways and byways of the town and start a campaign of cleanup that will give the old town the appearance of a new tin pan. While the town is not in a bad state of dessuetude and unkempt- ness, there is need for the destruction of the multitude of tumble weeds that persist in rearing their ugly heads even during the dry spell Let us try to make the town presentable, even though the board of supervisors has given us the go-by. Someday some real business genius will get on the board of supervisors and assist the people in the maintenance of the streets and roll down a few of the bumps and fill the chuck-holes, even if our present board fails in that duty.
 But don't neglect to get out and clean your place up, and give some aid to the fellow who has a bigger area to handle. The town is a crite- rion of the people; let ours show class and cleanliness.

RED GROSS WOMEN
 DO WORLDS Of WORK

From the month of February, when the Red Cross moved into their new quarters in the basement of the Meth cdlst church, to April l, six members working in the worlroom completed five dozen hospital bed-shirts and 12 suits of underwear.
 On April l more sewing machines were obtained and the membership of tSis department was increased to fif- teen, with the result that during April 120 hospital bed-shirts were complet- ed, 1O8 in May and 65 in June.
 One lady alone during the month of April turned out 42 of these shirts, another 27, and two others together 42.
 Some of the members are cOmplet- ing three or four shirts each week.
 Other members in the work room during March and April were busy with abdominal bandages.
 On May g a box was shipped con- taining 16 dozen hospital bed-shirts and on June 10 four other boxes con- taining knitted articles, surgical dress ngs, hospital bed-shirts, and five Layettes for Belgian babies. In this shipment there were 10,55O surgical dressings alone.
 Volunteers for this commendable work are solicited, and if there are any ladies in Kingman who cannot come to the work-room conveniently, they can arrange to work at home.
 No more knitting will be done until the latter part of August, but in place of thus work ladies will be given hos pital bed-shirts to take home, although they will be required to receive spe- cial instruction in this work. Mrs. J. H. Hutchison is the specialist tn this line and wlll instruct all who desire to enter this work.

The address of President Wilson at Mount Vernon last Thursday was one of the most eloquent messages ever given to the people of the world.
