|SENATORSH|P SOUGHT
BY GOV. DAVIS
Virginians in Touch With Situation
Say He Will Be Candidate
Against Mr.. Swanson.

WINCHESTER, Va. September 90
That Gov. Westmoreland Davis has
United States senatorial aspirations
and that he will be candidate in the
next senatorial primary for the seat
now held by Senator Claude A. Swan
son, was the belief expressed today
by a political observer, who had just
returned from Richmond. Norfolk,
Petersburg and other sections of the
state, where he said he heard much
political gossip of this character.
Long Campaign Ahead.
1t is true that Senator Swanson's
term will not expire until March a.,
1928, and Gov. Davis term of office
will not end until January 80. 1922.
but. it was pointed out. many politi-
cal booms are frequently launched
nominations. Already, it was noted.
Lieut.. Gov Frank Buchanan has
thrown his hat into the gubernatorial
ring: so, in case Gov. Davis should
shortly permit it to become known
that he will seek the nomination for
the United states Senate he would
not be ''out df order
Gov. Davis does not live in Senator
Swanson's section of the state,
which. SO far as the senatorships are
concerned, has been for many years
divided by an imaginary geographical
line, but there is no law or party rule
forbidding even two men of the same
community becoming candidates for
the Senate.
Battle Is Expected.
1t is not presumed that Senator
Swanson will retire voluntarily when
his present terms ends, as voluntary
retirements from the United States
Senate, it was pointed out, are rare.
The governor, it is said, does not as
pire to represent his district (the
eighth) in the lower house of Con-
gress.
Senator Swanson has been in the
Senate since August 1. 1910. when he
was appointed to fill the unexpired
term of the late Senator John w.
Daniel of Lynchburg, whose brilliant
oratorical gifts and magnetic person
ality made him the idol of Virginia
people and virtually assured him1of a
life tenure Of the office.
The friends of Gov. Davis who
would place on his shoulders the sem
atorial toga have repeatedly kept be-
fore the voters the record he made in
winning the gubernatorial nomina-
tion when he was not backed by the
machinery of the democratic party in
the state. He made the fight as the
farmers candidate.

DIR. SCHNEBERGER SCALDED.
His Face Seriously Burned When
VulCanizer Exploded.

DR.. ]. P. Schneberger sustained
burns on the face and head when a
Vulcanizer in his dental office ex-
ploded Monday evening. The machine
was under four hundred pounds pres
sure and full of hot water. The
valve was leaking a triffe, causing

time, and received the entire charge

mad access to in his office and later
received medical attention at the

face and head are wrapped in "swad-
ding cloth" and we Join his friends

Never Can Become a Citizen.

Three naturalization cases were
up before Judge Springer at Cresco
last week. The government being re-
presented by special examiner
from st. Louis, but no naturalizat-
ions were granted.
In two of the cases, there was an
insufficiency of testimony concerning
the residence of the applicants and
their cases were continued. In the
third case, the applicant, Anton
Tremp, a citizen of Switzerland, had
claimed exemption from the draft on
the grounds of being subject OF a
neutral country, and in such cases
naturalization is refused, and the
examiner states that his exemption
will forever remain bar to citizen
ship in this country.

American War Claims.

War claims of citizens of the
United States against the Central
Powers amount to about $750,000,-
600 in all, according to an announce
ment made by the State Department.
The total mentioned covers claims
already fled with the department,
but it may be increased by the pres
entation of additional demands for
PREPARATION. The claims fall into two
classes, those arising out Of submar-
inc warfare and those on account of
other acts of the enemy countries.
Under the first head are claims on
account of the deaths and injuries of
American citizens and for losses suf-
fered in the destruction OF or dam
age to American vessels, or of car
goes in American or foreign bottoms,
or of valuable personal property
other than cargoes, together with
miscellaneous items of loss or injury.
Under the second head are grouped
the destruction or requisition of pro-
perry of citizens of the United States
in enemy territory, or in territory
occupied by enemy forces. 1t is esti-
mated that at the outbreak of the
war American citizens and concerns
had about $500, 100000 in enemy
countries and those under enemy oc-
cupation, and it appears that war
measures taken by the Central
Powers have resulted in heavy losses
to this property. The State Depart
ment has had for some months a
large force engaged in compiling
data regarding both classes of loss
es on the basis of brief statements
of claims filed with it. Later, when
regulations for the submission of
claims shall have to be prepared, OPP
portunity will be afforded for more
detailed statements of losses. Mean
while, as appear from the report of
the Alien Property Custodian, al
most enough enemy property is held
in the United States to satisfy the
claims of American citizens against
Germany and Austria-Hungary.-

Tragic Death of Jesup Lady Mon


Mrs. Florence Welsch, of Jesup,
was found dead in her home there
Monday morning at about o'clock.
She had been at work with an cleo
trio washing machine and indicat-
ions were that her death was caused
by electrocution.
DIR. r. w. Allen testified that he
was called to the Welsch home at
about $3.50 o'clock, that the lady was
dead on the kitchen floor, having
been carried from the basement.
That there were no marks on the
body aside from a slight abrasion on
the palm of the left hand, like a very
slight burn mark. A blood clot in
the left eye also was found. The
regular voltage, ITO, was considered
not enough to kill person unless
a heart weakness or some other
weakness contributed.
Mr.. Frush stated that Mrs.
Welsch had come to his plant that
morning at $3.50 o'clock to see
about her machine, saying that she
felt a tingling sensation when she
put her hand on the wash board from
the machine and she wanted to know
if it hurt the machine to operate 1t
under such conditions. He told her
no and advised her to stand on
, something dry while at work at the
machine. 1t was suggested that she
was standing in water when the
tragedy occurred. Mr.. Frush said that
the ordinary voltage was H.

in which he dealt with him. George
was conversing with bunch OF TEL

concerning the attrocious conduct Oh
the Germans, whereupon a surley

Advice for Dog Victims.

Don't kill the dog that bites
you," DR.. William H. Peters, Des
Moines health officer, says.
IF possible, keep the dog locked
up, under observation Of the board
of health. If it doesn't die within a
week or ten days it hasn't rabies.
IF it dies within that time have
the brain examined. If rabies are
present the Pasteur treatment should
be administered the victim i'm
mediately.
Examinations of dogs killed i'm
mediately after biting persons ire
uuently show no rabies. This gives
a. false sense of security to those
bitten.
Frequently rabies germs Though
present, do not show because the!
have not had time to incubate in th'
dogs brain"

Farm Rented BY Auction.

You have often heard of farms
selling at auction but did you ever
know of a farm renting by auction.
A farm near Knoxville was rented
in that manner recently. 1t seems
that the farm was desired by several
renters and it was thought that the
best way to settle all disputes was to
auction it. The farm consists of only
fifty acres, and the highest bid was
$40 an acre of $1,000 for the tract.
This is thought to be the highest
rent price paid for a farm in the
