He Was Last Seen in Com pany with James Collins Whose Body Found
 Near Thane.
VERDICT OF CORONER
Decides That Collins Came to His Death from a Bullet Fired by An
 other Person.

Federal officers today said that nothing new had developed in the investigation of the death of James Collins. whose body war discovered concealed about a mile and hali South of Thane Monday night. The coroner's jury which yesterday after noon investigated the mans deatf returned a verdict that James Col lins came to his death on the evening of May 3, 1918, between the hours of 2 and 9 D. m., about a mile and half South of Thane, death being caused by a bullet fired from 303(
 rifle, fired by another person"
 The Federal officials are looking for J. T. Kuthbert, who was last
 seen with the dead man and who seemingly has disappeared. The of ficers want him to explain what he
 knows about the death of Collins
 Kuthbert is described as a man 2l years of age, feet 91a or 10 inches in height, and weighing 165 pounds
 He has dark hair and eyebrows
 blue eyes with a smooth round face covered with dark freckles. He is said to be a loud, rough talker, much addicted to profanity. He walks awkwardly and when last seen was dressed in pair of striped waiter's overalls.
 Witnesses before the Coroner'S Jury were Dr. l.. O. Sloane, FreC Salander, R. c. Tenny, J. M. Tanner D. M. Evans, E. V. Daveler, D. w Delzelle, c. w. Carter, V. w. Lassen and Ted Sherigberg. The Coroner's Jury was composed of J. B. Barra
 gar, J. L. Thompson, H. E. Harvey w. Edwins, E. F. Babson, Harry Lott, and Ed. Morgan.
 It is acknowledged by the officers that Kuthbert had plenty of chance to get away from here, if he SC desired, as there were three boats southbound, one Westbound and one Northbound, between the time the
 man met his death and the discovery
 of tho body They are hopeful, how ever, of being able to apprehend him

APPEAL no GERMAN POCKET.

The Chamber Of Commerce of the
United States, composed of 1000 To-
cal commercial and industrial or
CARNATIONS of the country, has just
adopted by the significant vote o.:
1904 to ia resolution warning
German business men that an econom-
ic combination will be formed against
Germany after the war. unless the
danger Of excessive armament is re-
moved by making the German Gov
.ernmsnt a responsible instrument con
vtrolled by the people. :.
3 The Baltimore Sun in referring to
the action of the Chamber Of Com
anerce of the United States says most
Americans have been disposed to
agree with the declaration made by
the President some time ago as to the
inadvisability Of following war OF
arms with an economic war. And the
vote Of the United States Chamber
of Commerce does not indicate a
change in that view. except as a
means Of bringing Germany to her
senses and compelling her by econom-
ic pressure to do what she might not
do otherwise The resolution points
out that ''the size Of the German
armament after the war will be the
measure OF the greatness Of the
armament forced on all nations" and
that "the size of Germany's future
armament will depend on her artn'
war receipts Of war materials AMI
the profits Of her foreign trade"
The program outlined is program
OF defense, not Of aggression. It IS
rot designed for purposes of punish
ment, but for purposes cf self-pro-
lection. If We are not very much mis-
taken. the action OF the United States
Chanshts.,t cff u Commerce will make Ger
E.an Business men think Very deeply.
And i. they are. forced to choose be-
tween a,ltoSracy and national pros
l:sit5. they will he mighty apt to
choose the Latter.

INDEMNITY DREAMS.

An incidental budget just present
ed to the German Reichstag calls for
a few billion marks merely to meet
the increased interest charges on the
public debt. Germany is not raising
enough by taxation to pay It's IN
terest; it didn't seem worth while at
the outset to increase taxation, pc
cause the indemnities would be COM
ire in. in a few months, and Pacto-
lean streams would flow from Lon
don and Paris. The payments OF the
indemnity have been deferred. The
longer they are deferred the less does
tho Carman Government dare to tell
its people that they will never get
anv indemnities. Economists calculate
that one-fourth of the whole national
wealth has been destroyed. Depreclat-
al naper is issued by billions by the
Re;chsbank, through the War Banks
scattered all over the country to lena
rou money on securities or your
home or your household furniture II
vou will agree to lend it to the Gov
eminent again. An endless chain IS
working in well that is always
growing deeper; there is constantly
more chain and less water. BUSINESS
firms are issuing what we call "shin-
plasters."
AS a contemporary says, those IN
IDENTITIES will never come. The Ger
mans will not get their war costs from
their enemies, and "the word Will be
with the Prussian tradition" What
this means is that the representatives
of the people will take possession o.
the Government, and the Prussiaf
tradition of the monarchy VIII disap'
pear.

co TO WORK OR GO TO WAR.

The words in this headline is the
sentiment expressed by the house OF
delegates of Virginia toward the
thousands of idlers\ TO be found IN
the cities of Virginia, Pleading W.
gent necessity because of the acute
situation with which the farmers and
manufacturers eli Virginia alike are
wrestling, Delegate E. Griffith Dod-
son, of Norfolk, yesterday moved to
take up out of its regular order the
compulsory labor bill To get 1t be-
fore the house for action, Nh. Dod-
son moved to discharge the commit
tee on general laws from further con-
sideration of the measure.
Mr.. Dodson told the house that this
was an urgent war measure. The Dill
is along lines similar to the Mary
land law.
Delegate Walton, CT Hanover, chal-
longing the motion Of Mr.. Dodson,
incurred: Have we not q vagrancy
law that will apply to the situation!'
Mr.. Dodson replied in the negative.
He said that the idlers were largely
tof3a type against whom it is difficult
to secure convictions when the cases
are presented in court. The motion t"
discharge the committee was carried
IA to IS. The bill will be soon add
vanced to its passage, which seems
assured.
One of the cases before the Alex
andria Police Court this morning was
that of negro named Ernest
lloyd who had been arrested twice
during the past twenty-four hours
for vagrancy. Lloyd was arranged
yesterday on complaint Of officers who
stated that he refuses to work and
acts insolent and defiant when they
question him. Judgment was suspend
ed, at the instance of his counsel, for
one hour in order to give the ac-
cused time to leave the city. But the
negro proceeded to a shop in the
Petersburg" district, showing no in
tcntion OF shaking the dust of AleXan-
dria from his feet Officer Nevett ac-
costed him, and was answered IN an
insolent manner. He resisted the Of
ficer, and the latter was forced to use
his stick upon him. He was sent to
Jail this morning for ninety days.
Laborers are in demand III this city
at three dollars day.

WELFARE OF THE RACE.

There is one bill before the general
assembly, reported out by the COM
mittee for courts of justice, when is
deserving of favorable regard says
he Richmond Journal. 1t Is house Dill
242. regulating marriages ana the
issuance of marriage licenses. Its
,urpose is to inhibit the intermar-
rage @. feeble-minded persons, habl-
tual criminals, the hereditary epllep-
tic or insane person, or any person
Of any age. who is afflicted with any
contagious venereal disease. Clergy,
men and officers of the law, authorized
to solemnize marriages in Virginia,
are interdicted under heavy penalty
from performing a marriage cere-
money uniting in matrimony those
coming under the ban; clerks OF court
are Similarly enjoined against issu-
ing marriage licenses to such, and
the right of protest by any citizen
having personal knowledge of the
itemized disabilities of the applicant
for marriage is invited.
No member of the general assem-
blv can fail to be impressed by the
necessity for taking drastic steps to
prevent the spread of infectious dis
eases and the wisdom of enacting
laws that will restrict the prnpaga-
ton of the species among imbeciics
and> the criminally inclined.
The act should be passed by the
legislature without fail, and the law
vigorously enforced thereafter.

WHEN TO EXPECT THE END.

Whether Scheidemann was sincere
Or was only pandering to patriotism
when he said that he could not see
day when Germany would say, Il
am beaten; give me peace it is OF
tie utmost Importance that he said
and all Germany heard him say it
that he could not see any day when
the Allies would make similar con-
fession.
The Philadelphia Record in COM
menting upon the above says the
Germans have been enduring great
s;;fferings in the expectation of an
ultimate triumph. They are rapidly
becoming accustomed to the idea that
a German victory is impossible. When
the Germans realize that they can
not win they will rapidly lose their
resolution TO go on enduring.
