TROOPS ON GUARD
IN MURDER CASE
Edgar Morris, Charged With
Two Virginia Killings,
Still at Large.
BY the Associated Press.

ny fhc Associated Press.
STANARDSVILLE, Va, April I'll
State troops were on guard to-day
when the circuit court convened to
take up the case of Edgar Morris,
son of Greene county deputy sheriff,
against whom there are two charges
of murder, and who is said to have
threatened repetition Of the Hills
Vile affair" of seven years ago, when
the Allen clan of mountaineers shot
up the Carroll county court.
Morris failed to carry out his re-
ported threat. The presence Of the
troops had quieting effect. When
Judge Ffshburn opened court a large
crowd was on hand. The grand jury
was impanelled and at once began
consideration of the case.
1t is probable two indictments will
be returned against Morris. one for
shooting James Morris at a Christmas
dance at the home of Rollins Shiffiett.
and the other for killing Magistrate
Sullivan.
Edgar Morris was arrested late in De-
cember on a charge of killing James
Norris. He was bailed by his father.
March 20 he was arraigned in Magis-
trate Sullivan's court and fined $40 for
creating trouble at church, but as the
sentence was pronounced he shot and
killed the magistrate and escaped to
the mountains in an automobile which
he commandeered
Reports were that Morris had plan
ned to come to court today and give
himself up so his bond. on which his
father Is security. would not be for
feited. but a band of his friends from
the mountains were to swoob down
as did the Aliens and free him. The
authorities appealed to Gov Davis and
the Albermarle Rifles of Charlottes-
Vile we're ordered by the governor to
be on hand during the session of the
court to AFFORD protection. The militia,
three officers and fifty-three men, ar
rived last night.
1t is thought possible that the
troops under command of Capt Joel
NJ Cochran will go into the mountains
10 hunt Morris.

LIMERICK, Ireland, April 21.-"All

ultimatum delivered by John Cronin,
head of the strike committee, at a
meeting of the citizens Of Limeick
called by Mayor Adolphus O'Mara. The
labor parliament of Dublin will be
shifted to Limerick Tuesday.
This national executive council will

us to- tho extent Of calling out every
worker in Ireland. We hear that the
army will make an effort to break the
strike. There are. $4,000 organized
workers in Ireland"
English commentators assert that the
Sinn Fein is adopting dangerous
methods of attracting the notice of the
peace conference and making England
look ridiculous. They add that the
only real sufferers from violence will
be the people of Ireland, and that these
people may be expected to hold the
Sim Fein responsible.

Favor Peremptory Declination.

The German emissaries will merely
have instructions to carry the peace
document back to Berlin. The ques-
ton whether the present government
will assume the responsibility of ac-
cepting or rejecting the terms. or
whether it will present them for a
national referendum is a matter OF
conjecture. Official opinion so far
as adduced tonight, was opposed to
the declaration of a referendum and
in favor of a peremptory declinat1on
of peace terms based on any other
proposition than Mr.. Wilson's plat
form, as the present temper of the
German workingmen is anti-capl-
talistic and anti-imperialistic. and the
bourgeoisie is in full accord with

and I was told that any white man
had the right to give any negro who
insulted him fifteen lashes. The po-
licemen and all other officers carried
whips of hippopotamus hide called
kabukoS. These are terrible weapons.
Each is a strip of the thick skin OF
the hippopotamus trimmed down to
the diameter of ones finger and made
tapering at the end. 1t is heavy and
flexible, and will cut like a knife. a

ion of DR.. Carl Peters, the man who
did so much to make treaties with
the African kings and bring German
East Africa into the hands Of the
Germans. DR.. Peters was dismissed
from his position as ruler OF the re-
gion about Mount kilimaniaro on ac-
count Of his brutality, and the publi-
cation OF the fact brought up a libel
suit in Germany. One Of the Munich

a murderer and a coward. publishing
how he had logged three female
servants and hung others. In one

This statement, to which I have add
ed only q few words to make 1t more
plain, indicates the kaiser's ambition
as to Africa, and between It's lines you
may read some of the aims Germany
had In developing her colonial empire.
She did not look upon her colonies as
her share of 'the white mans bur-
den" She did not develop them for
the good of the natives, but only for
Germany and German trade. She ex-
pected the natives to buy German
goods and. as far as possible, kept
all other merchants away. She used
both countries and people as raw ma
terial for the empire at home. and to
this end created plantations Of cotton.
coffee and mines and worked them
largely with forced labor. The natives
were looked upon as little more than
slaves and were used as such, and the
Idea Of Prof. DeIbruck as to the rich
ness of Africa in men who can work
and be used in war" was just as i'm
portant as the mines and plantations.
