ant was highly sensational The man

Talking to q Times reporter a few
hours after the shooting, Davis ask
ed, How bad is the man hurt7" He
was told that Shelhorse's death was
expected. When asked about the
cause OF the shooting. the negro re-
piled, 81 had over 81 zoo. and did not
know whether they were going to
rob me or what they were trying
to do"
Searched at police headquarters,
$i.264.72 was found in awalIet. Davis
said that the money was his savings.
Inspector Hall stated that Davis
was observed entering the train in
Washington with a suitcase and
satchel. The negro denied ownership
OF the baggage when arrested. Ex-
animation OF the bags showed that
horty-fiVe bottles of whiskey were be-
ing carried in them.
SheIhorse has been engaged as a
prohibition inspector for several
months.

A memorandum made public by the
war department concerning the use Of
sarmed guards about industrial plants
contains the following:
''The soldier In training who has Of
fered his life for the defense of coun-
try should not sacfafice his effective
! ness by performing police duty in the
protection Of property back of the
! lines. This is the duty of the citizen
! at home.
'The theater for operations for
armed soldiers is the battlefield of
Europe. Each civilian should aid his
country by 8ctlng as a guard for the
detection and prevention of intrigue,
deceit, and all the familiar stealthy OPP
ierations of the enemy, in our midst.
Each soldier unnecessarily detailed as
"a guard in this country aids and abets
the enemy In Europe.
'Often a guard may be needed for
the safety of factory. When 1t is,
Ut should be supplied by the owner Of
the factory, by the municipality, or by
the state.
"These measures apply not only to
manufacturing plants, but are equally
applicable to shipyards, grain eleva-
! tors, and stores of supplies"
