POLICEMAN ACQUITTED.
Jury Not Satisfied He Fired Sho'
Which Killed Harry Gayle.

Richmond, Feb. 16.-After a trial
lasting until nearly IL o'clock last
night, jury in the Hastings Court
brought in verdict of not guilty II
the case of Policeman |. G. Cousins,
charged with the murder OF Harry
Gayle, aged fifteen years. Conflict
ing evidence as to the caliber OF the
bullet causing the boys death caused
the Jury to bring in its verdict attsr
being out but few minutes.
The shooting occurred on the al
ternoon of January 8, about 1usA.
H. NJ. Wingfeld, had been missing
chickens from his back yard, and a
watch was being kept. The boy was
seen coming from the yard, and III
the dusk Cousins admits having fired
six times at the ground with the II
tention,. of bringing the lad to a
stop. The patrolman wore a regula-
ton .32-caliber police pistol, while
the testimony was that the boy care
to his death by means OF Dui'e:
from a .38-caliber pistol. Jurynic,
took the view that this shot might
nave been fired by some other party
raking part in the chase.
Following the rendering OF the YER
dict, Judge D. c. Richardson, VIC
had presided at the trial OF the case
made an address to Chief OF 70
lice sowcll and large number OF
policemen gathered in the Hustlnss
Court ON the use of the policeman
pistol The Judge vigorously condemn
cd the indiscriminate and entirely uh-
unsuitable use of pistols by patroi
men.
"Your pistol" he told the officers
ais given you for your own defense
It is to be used only in self-defense
or TO aid in the capture OF a desper'
ate character, charged with sef'-
Gus crime. Any policeman who shoo's
anv one charged with msdemeanol
is guilty of manslaughter.

THE DESERTER.

The Baltimore Sun today contains
n picture which teaches at glance
conditions now facing the country.
It represents trench with row OF
men and women, each armed ana
battling against the common Zoe.
The soldier-'the dollar a-day man
first in the picture. The frugal
housewife stands next, then the far:n-
er, the railroad man, capitalist, NUM-
ton worker, miner, nurse, doctor,
and others. Emerging from the trench
is the shipworker, who is about to
leave his companions to their fa:e.
Those who are standing firmly at
their posts seem animated by the
words Of John Hay:
When tyrant feet are trampling
Upon the common veal,
Thou dost not bid us bend ana wrilhe
Beneath the. iron heel
In Thy name we assert our right
BY sword or tongue or pen;
And cen the headsman's axe may
fash
Thy message unto men.
The strike Of the shipYard wolEe,s
has raised an issue that must pc
faced Immediately and settled once
for all SIS the Sun suggests. Such a
disturbing, demoralizing and d.
organizing situation cannot be a
lowed to occur again. Whatever 1t
may be necessary to do must be done
promptly and firmly, without tedious
parleys and palavers. The Govern
ment has taken the railroads o3cr
temporarily for the sake of war Ell
fciency, and it may be necessary 10
take the shipyards over for the sane
reason.
If the shipyards are put under Coz
eminent control, it will mean the
same thing. 1t will mean that they
will be required, not asked. to DO
their best, that they will be compel
led to produce maximum results, an,
that nobody, either managers or
workers, will be allowed to shut them
up or interfere with their work.
Many of these strikers have been
exempted from military service be-
cause they were supposed, to be more
useful to the country i'll the ship
wards than in the field. But if they
will not work, why should they re
exempted from service i'll the tren-
ches? # they would rather serve
under the flag at the front, Uncle
Sam will probably accommodate
them.

GAP WIDENING.

The gap between Austria and Ger
many on the peace question seems 20
be widening constantly. There is ap-
parently little doubt that Austria
sincerely wants peace. In fact, she
is almost at the point where Ter
needs and the discomfort of the popr-
lation make peace imperative. Ger
MANY. on the other hand, is still un-
der contrc! Of the militaristic party,
who demand victorious peace, Bat
thew are receiving constant warnings
through the press of both Germany
and Austria of the danger OF the
policy they are pursuing.
A dispatch from Vienna says that
Count Czernin, the Austro-Hun@ar-
ian foreign minister, replying to an
address of the burgonlas1er, VINO wei
coined Czernn on his recurn to the
Austrian capital, said:
What has happened at Brest-
Litovsk, is not yet the end of the war,
but it is the beginning of the ea:'.
Not only political diseases, but poll
teal recoveries are infectious, AID
peace will be so, too. If ever conf
ence was justified, it is today. an
firmly convinced that we have only
"a hold out little longer and an
honorable general peace will be At
tanned"
Having become reconciled to Rus
sia's withdrawal from the war the
signs of final allied success continue
TO increase. Prince Max, president Of
the Baden upper chamber, says, our
sword alone will never be able to tear
down the opposition to US; wh'!e
Won Tirptz. addressing the Ham
burg branch of the fatherland party
said, Cup to the present in tins war
Great Britain has won, rather tn'H
lost" Coming from the father OF
U-boat ruthlessness such worcS are
in marked contrast with his former
bcllicosc attitude. Herr Strob@l' an
Independent Socialist, declared IN the
pr,,ssjan diet, that "the German peo-
ple do not want to be regarded any
longer as par:ah among nations.
Many reports pass the censorship
showing the growing restiveness 81
thc German people under their mill
,ary masters. The spirit of revolt IS
craving among women who fear me
nrivations of another winter OF war
The Berlin Tageblatt paints oiac"
picture of food conditions In German
cities. and Vorwaerts, the SOCIALIST
organ, calls on Germany to move
openly for peace.

ard truckers of the Tidewater sectiohs

d;;ions. that it was mp to the tilicrs
