town.
Mr.. Burchard told Of criticism of
the Y. NJ. c. A for high prices

of the Y. ". c. A. overhead costs
were so reduced that supplies may
now be bought by soldiers for the
same amounts as paid in army COM

INDICTED FOR
ROY MURDER
November 25 Is Date Set
for Trial of Lou
Hall. f

Lou Hall must go on trial for the
murder Of little Eva Roy. the 1+-year-
old girl found murdered near Burke
Station six weeks ago, according to
the Fairfax County grand jury. who
indicted him yesterday afternoon for
the crime
Judge Brent, the new Fairfax County
Judge. set the trial for the fourth
Monday in November, at the request
OF Halls attorney. Walter oliver. who
asked for a continuance. In granting
Mr.. divers request, the judge de-
clared that he was not in favor or
postponing trials in cases where the
defense had been given sufficient time
to prepare their case.
The grand jury left the courtroom
Ihortly after 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, and brought the Indictment at
twenty minutes after four in the art
srnoon- Nine cases were under con-
sideration-in each case the jury
brought true bill.
Hall seemed dazed, rather than up
pet, over the failure Of the jury to set
aim free. His pale blue eyes were
turned questioning upon first the jury
md then to his attorney. A six
weeks growth of beard covered his
ace, and added to his unkempt and
Iisheveled appearance.
As the clerk Of the court read the
findings Of the jury the prisoners
chest heaved convulsively. and his
tightly clasped hands twitched. At
the adjournment Of the court, he
turned hurriedly to his brother, and
isked for his little 4-year-old son.
The family OF the murdered girl
were among the chief witnesses exam
ined by the jury, Peter Roy, his
daughter and little grandchild were
everywhere in evidence throughout
the entire day. Mr.. Roy declared him
self quite satisfied with the findings
Of the jury, and stated that he was
convinced that the right man was in
the hands Of the authorities.
1t is the belief OF Halls attorney,
the man will never come to trial
that the Commonwealth will discover
other evidence either fastening the
suspicion on some suspect or exon

Inasmuch as Early was known to
have money in his possession when
he left. the police are at loss as
to why the man. IL 1t is Early. should

Early managed to escape from his
hut by saving through an iron bar
in a window in his room and tearing
away the screen wire on the porch of
the hut. Henry w. Lloyd, Early's

he awoke early yesterday morning
and Immediately notified DIR. Fowler,
who in turn got in touch with the
police departments here and else
where. The police department here
issued a lookout circular of Early
last night giving a description of the
man and urging that every effort
be made to locate him stating that he

MAKING ARREST
Corp. Goldback, Military
Policeman, Subdues Sol
dier with Pistol.

Corp. Mack Goldback. Twenty
second United States Infantry, sta.
toned at Potomac Park, will not be
troubled in the least when Hun bull
lets come whizzing over his head.
He walked right into the muzzle Of
a pistol the other night at a theater
and arrested Private John Dolan, OF
Camp Humphreys, when the latter
resented being called down by Corp,
Goldback for not wearing his coat
and for creating a disturbance in the
theater.
Corp. Goldback, at the risk OF his
life, placed Dolan under arrest. Do
Ian was about to fire a second shot
at Corp. Goldback, but the cartridge
failed to explode. There were but
few people in the theater at the
time, 1t being half past eleven, but
there was considerable excitement.
Corp. Goldback, who was doing
military police duty near the theater,
had been called to the theater to quiet
Dolan, who was creating a disturb
ance. Dolan was ordered to stop the
noise and was questioned about being
without his coat He muttered some
thing to Corp. Goldback and then
opened fire on him. The first shot
went wild. Dolan then attempted to
fire again but his revolver failed to
go OFF. In the meantime, Corp.
Goldback was rushing toward the
man. determined to place him under
arrest. Before Dolan could pull the
trigger a third time, Corp. Gold
back fred his revolver in the air and
D0lan changed his mind
Dolan will have to answer to the
military authorities for his conduct.
He is now under arrest in camp,
charged with assault with intent to
kill, having a loaded revolver in
his possession while not on duty and
an additional charge OF not wearing
his coat as required by military regu-
lations.

He is 40 years of age, FIVE feet
ten inches in height and weighs about
40 pounds. His face is spotted witt
marks of leprosy and his eyes are
bleary. His feet are swollen and

This Is the fourth escape since it
was discovered that he was suffering

does not think he will be at large

THE TOBACCO BUG.
1t Thrives on Weed Which Kills
Most Insects-Beetle Is Epi-
curcan in Taste.


Popular Science Monthly: While
tobacco is recognized as a valuable
insecticide which will kill most in
sects, there is at least one that
lives in it and on it, and thriveS
exceedingly-far too exceedingly
to be pleasant.
This tobacco beetle, as he is call
ed. is very epicurean in his tastes
and prefers the better brands of to-
bacco. He is a native of Cuba and
the Philippines, but has spread all
over the world. He only lives in
manufactured and stored tobacco,
never in the growing plant.
There are several other insects
that prey on the tobacco bettle. and
his destructive larvae, but it is
none the less necessary 10 control
him by artificial means. Extremes
of heat and cold will eradicate him,
and fumigation with hydrocyanic
acid or carbon bisulphide is also
very effective in composing his de-
struciion.
The process OF manufacture us
ually does away with both beetles
and eggs, so that if protective meas
ures are adopted their ravages can
be more or less obviaied. The
smoker. therefore. has no well
grounded reason to feel concerned
regarding the possibility finding
the beetle in his cigar or cigarette
And the fact that the insect pre-
fers expensive tobacco to the poor
er grades may prove cousoling TO
him who can afford only cheap
