France, seems to be that a postpon-

not the jubilee week celebration is

STRONG FOR NOW"
Mrs. r. II. Hudson, chairman Of
the ladies' auxiliary of the Grays' as
sociation, made a stirring plea for the
original date, holding that the men
had already made arrangements 10
come to Richmond on that date and
would be greatly Inconvenience by
the change.
She pointed out that. while practi-
cally every returned soldier will be
earnestly at work by November II.
many of them have not yet returned
TO civil occupations, preferring to en-
joy wellearned rest before taking
up their duties These men, said Mrs
Hudson, are prepared to take holiday

of them will naturally have left the
city in discharge OF business duties
and will find it hard if not impos-
sible to return on that date.
While the Blues association was
not represented, elaborate prepara-
tons for the early celebration are
known to have been made by that or
ga nization. At the last meeting OF
the association hints were made OF
the largest celebration ever staged by
that historic body.
No definiae opposition to the July
date has as yet been noticeable, the
only question seeming to be one of
financial expediency. Richmonders
as a whole, have not responded to the
appeal of the finance committee ashad
been confidently expected and the
committee has therefore been forced
TO call upon the business interests OF
the city for support and consequently
must consider their wishes in the mat
ter.
General opinion seems to be that to
postpone the celebration until the late
fall would be to court the possibility
OF an enforced cancellation of the
entire program. as recurrence of the
weather experienced in 1917 might

ACCUSED OF MURDER,
IS UNM0VED IN COURT

Pueblo Colo, Dec, S.-Pale and
haggard Mrs. Elizabeth Haskell
charged with the murder of Charles
X. Goldstrap, seventeen year old
boy on the night of December H.
1918, sat between her husband and
, her attorneys all day today in the
district court while lawyers ques-
toned prospective jurors until jury
of twelve suitable to the state and
the defense was obtained, and then
heard District Attorney A. b, Hughes
open his argument outlining thu
states case and charge her with first
degree murder.
The court room was filled with
spectators all day but nothing of q
sensational nature was brought Out
in the evidence submitted.
Mrs. Haskell Immediately after the
shooting which took place at her
home on the night mentioned, de-
elared that she did not know who il
was that she shot, insisting that she
and her daughter heard some one
pounding on the side of the house
while they we're in their beds and
later endeavor to get in the back
screen door. She then declares she
fired the shots through the door and
did not know she had killed any one
until neighbors found the body shortly
afterWard.
The state declares that the boy had
been paying attentions to Mrs. Has
kett's daughter and that her parents
objected
The court recessed at 4:3G o'clock
with the case just getting under way.
