VIRGINIA NEWS

Thomas W. Fisher,-9 year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. NJ. Fisher, of
Crozet, is dead as a result of a kero-
sene explosion at his home on We'd
nesday Of last week.
Harry D. Hulburt, soldier of Wy
anet. Ill.,. was indicted Tuesday by a
Roanoke county grand jury for the
killing of Claude William Noel, jitney
driver, on Hollns road, about 5 miles
from the city on Tuesday night of
last week. The indictment charges
fist degree murder. At the request
of the counsel for the accused, the
court appointed q lunacy board TO
inquire into Hulburt's sanity.
With mile after mile of red, white
and blue bunting and flags of the al
lies predcminating, Newport News
presented gay appearance when
the President Grant, with more than
5000 troops, locked there eally yes
terday. Casual companies from Vir-
ginia. Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee
and Missouri were among those
abroad. There were re casual officers
and SS2 sick and wounded.
Serious damage to crops in the
eastern portion Of the State has re-
suited from the recent cold snap,
according to one Of the leading agri-
cultural agencies, the Southern
Planter. It is said the financial loss
will total thousands of dollars in
sections where trees had blossomed
out. Much of the fruit crop in the
higher altitude will be spared, it IS
thought, owing to the fact that trees
in tbs section blossom late. Yester-
dav the thermometer is "a, the
colde ST ever recorded in Richmond on
April 2.
Acting on instructions issued by
Governor Davis the State board OF
charities and corrections yesterday
began an investigation of conditions at
the Virginia penitentiary following
charges of. inhumane treatment there
! preferred by E. Z. budding, presi-
dent of the Prisoners Relief So
ciety. The investigation grew out
of charges that DR.. Asa W. Cham
bcrlain, who was given long term
| for murder in Goochland county,
was logged and chained to cross
until he was rendered unconscious
Tor an alleged attempt to escape
from the prison.

BLOODY KNIFE FOUND
-Blotted Dagger Also Discov-
cred in Home of DR.. Wilkin

Mineola, Long Island, April "a
dagee. and two smaller knives, all
bearing crimson stains, which were
found by detectives in the Manhat-
Tan home of DR.. Walter K. Wilkins,
may be of vital importance when the
physician is called to trial next month
for the murder of his wife. The in
vestigators said yesterday that few
DAYS after the murder Of Mrs. Will
kirs at Long Beach they found the
knives in a drawer Of the physicians
desk. The dagger has a four inch blade.
Il is the theory Of the detectives
that the collie dog, Duke, was stabbed
in the mouth on the night of the muir
der so that he could not bark. This
could be done by an experienced per-
son in such a way that the wound
would not be noticeable even on close
examination. The Investigators point
ed out that such a wound is made by
q veterinary surgeon when he Is
treating horse for blind staggers.
Two smaller pearl-handled pocket
knives had stains on tine handles, but
their blades were clean.
The will made by Mrs. Wilkins in
1915 was made public yesterday. This
will, which has been frequently
called "a scrap of paper" by Louis
Wilkins, makes the physician the
testator and principal beneficiary Of
her estate, which amounts to about
$4,000. Because this will was moi
witnessed or signed before a Com
missioner Of Deeds Mr.. Friess did
not file it for probate. When the
authorities sought to find the will he
did not produce it because, he ex-
planned, he knew the document wa;
not valid.

LET FOCH DO 1T
Senator Harding Suggests General
Write Peace Treaty as he Did
Armistice,
not valid

The suggestion that Gen. Focl1
would write the peace treaty and wind
it UP in a hurry as he did the arm
istice terms was advanced yesterday
by Senator Warren G. Harding, of
Ohio. Gen. Foch could be depended
upon, the Senator said, to guard the
security of the United States as well
a that of France and Great Britain.
Senator Harding criticised the de-
lay at the Peace Conference and de-
clared that it has brought the allies
apparently TO the point of recognize
ing Bolshevism.
} "Not only is Bolshevist destruc-
tiveness to be countenanced in fall
len Russia" he added, "but the world
will awaken pretty soon to the fact
that Germany is dominant there and
has expanded infinitely more through
revolution and delay than it was ex-
pected to accomplish by force of arms.
Senator Harding declared that it is
Dangerous business to trade on our
position as a world creditor and to
force Europe and America into a
hasty compact to establish world in
ternationalism."
Declaring that he will make no
speeches on the league of nations I'M,
til he knows definitely what the pro-
posal is, Senator Harding said that
the United States will accept nothing
which puts an end to national aspira-
lions; neither will any Of the other
powers represented in the Peace Con-
ference, he said. The Senator said it
would be easy for the conference to
provide for clear and unmistakable
enunciation of international law and
commit all the allied nations to It's

TO FIGHT WILSON BEER PLAN.

For No Backward Step.

Washington, May 3l.-Proaibition
leaders in congress will not heed
President Wilson's recommendation
for the repeal of the war time prohi-
bition act, effective July !, in so far
as it affects wine and beer.
When the presidents message con-
tanning rhis Recommendation was READ
in congress the men who have wasea
successfully the dry battles of legisia-
ton declared they would countenance
no retreats.
LIQUOR dealens of the country VINO
have been banking on a repeal OF the
law or proclamation by the president
precluding it's operation have been
counting their chickens before they are
Matched. the prohibitionists declare.
What congress win do with the rec
ommendation can not De definitely
forotold. but If the prohibition leaders
can hold their forces in line there will
be no resolution, amendment or re-
peal adopted.
Thus far there has been no action
taken toward repeal OF the law beyond
the introduction OF resolutions. The
recomm en- dations OF the president will
be considered by the committees on
agriculture in both houses To-Day
members of these committees would
make no predictions.
Prohibition senators and representa-
tives, however were outspoken.
THE president has been staying in
| Paris too long said Representative
| Randall OF California, one OF the most
active dry advocates. War prohibition
will not be repealed by this con-
gress."
