SUICIDE BELIEVED
SEQUEL TO MURDER

That a suicide followed a murder
in the vicinity of Orange, Orange
county. Va. on September 5, is the
theory of the police here as the re-
suit of incidents connected with the
death today of Silas Luther Jenkins,
a substitute conductor OF the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany. whose body was found in a gas
filled room at 500 Massachusetts ave-
nue..
jenkins was being sought by the
Washington police. following the visit
yesterday of Commonwealth Attorney
Browning of Orange county, investi-
eating the murder of Burgess D. ALL
mond of Locust Grove. Orange county,
who was shot eight times while re-
turning from a visit to a girl at Cor
louisville.
Gordonsville. according to papers
found on the body of Jenkins. is the
home town of Jenkins. and police both
here and in the Virginia county at
tribute the murder to jealousy, since
no robbery was attempted. In the
effects OF Jenkins was found a small
photograph of himself with a girl.
The body of Jenkins was discovered
In a gas filled room early this morn
Ing, when he was to have been awak-
ened early. half-filled bottle Of gin
stood on the bureau. A note giving
an address at Gordonsvilie was found
giving directions for disposition OF
the body. The door had been made
air tight at the bottom by use of a

Attorney Woodard will Fight
to Keep Coal Company
From Vacating Dock.

The contest between the Commits
sioners and the ]. Maury Dove Com
pany, Inc, resulting from the no.
vacate the District wharf at the foot
| Of 18th street southwest, may be
aired in Congress when that body
reconvenes.
Henry f. Woodward. attorney foE
the company, said today. he intends
to seek hearing before the Dis
trict committees of Congress as soon
as possible. The Commissioners nave
given .the company an extension Of
time until November l to vacate.
Appeal to Civic" Bodies.
The Dove company has sent ar
appeal to all civic organizations te
unite in a protest against what Mr.
Woodward construes as movemen,
to abolish commercial usage OF the
| water front in order to beautify 1t.
The Commissioners. discussing the
letter today. denied that 1t is their
purpose to prevent the use of the
District-owned wharVeS as Water-W way
freight terminals.
What they are seeking to do, they
explained. is to prevent the use OF the
wharves for the storage of wood or
any other. commodity after 1t arrives
in the city. They contend that there
is no more reason for permitting the
storage of goods on the wharves than
there would be to permit such storage
in railroad treminal
Mr.. Woodard pointed out that wood
must be shipped by water during the
summer, when the river is open. and
stored for use during the winter.
In Sympathy With improvements.
The attorney said he wanted 1t
made clear that the Dove company is
not opposed to improving the appear
ance of the wharves and the water
front.
He said he agrees with the Commits
sioners that the wharf leased from the
District by Mr. Dove is in need of re-
construction. The company is willing.
he continued, to use the wharf of an
other dealer temporarily if the Com
misSionerS secure an appropriation
from Congress to repair the existing
wharf.
What we are contending against"
said Mr.. Woodland, lis any movement
to abandon the useful for the beauti-
full on the waterfront. We will CO.
operate in any effort to improve the
appearance of the waterfront, but we
do not believe that commerce which
has been carried On along the water
front for many years should be
prohibited"
The question has been under con-
sderation since July, when the Com
missionerS refused to renew the
Dove lease.
The Commissioners showed no indica :
ton today of changing their decision to
have the wharf vacated on November 1

OF armed invasion fills every home and

Only since the United States forces ar
rived have they obtained the first rest

abiding and happy people. and their
lives would be pleasant were it not for
the constant apprehension that some
night armed bands will come over the
mountain tops and down into the valley
where is located the town of Logan.
They dread the removal of the United
states forces, and fear a repititton of
merely prolongation Of the troubles.
Ihere Is no common ground on which an
adjustment can be made. The mine
operators say their mines shall never
become unionized, as it means the be-
ginning of constant troubles. The unions
are just as determined to organize.
