After Battle With

MARTINSVILLE, Va, Sept. 8.
--Ewell Cox, one of the wealth

ty and q garage keeper, is In the
Lucy Lester Hospital here seri-
ously shot by George Scott, a
negro, one of three who, 1t is
charged, waylaid the white man
near his home at Fayerdale.
Cox had a double e-barreled shot
gun with him and he killed Scott
after the negro had first fired
on him.
Fight With Negro.
Last Saturday a disorderly negro
is alleged to have entered Cox's store
and was reprimanded by. Cox for his
boisterous talk. The negro paid no
attention and Cox Is said to have
ordered him from the premises. As
he left the negro seized a can and
tried to throw 1t at Cox who drew
revolver and shot the negro IN the
shoulder.
The belief prevails that the negro
laid a plot to kill Cox and that he
was one Of the three negroes In the
ambush. although this is In no way
confirmed at present.
Cox has had a lurid career in Pat
rick county. Prohibition officers
have been investigating his record,
but admit that they have never
Icaught him bootlegging. Only two
months ago Cox was indicted by the
Henry county grand jury for alleged

bush by a negro. who has never been
caught. Mitchell had seized a load
- liquor and having poured 1t out
at Martinsville was returning to his
home when he was brutally killed,
the negro stepping out into the road
and shooting him dead.
The State, since then, has obtained
evidence which, II 10 said, exposes
conspiracy Of several men to Kill
Mitchell. The case has never been

"The vast distances, .the quickness
Of the people to grasp commercial

LONDON, Sept. S.-Lady As

the foremost champion Of pro-
hibition in. England, today pub
lished the text Of her anti
liquor bill.
1t is not a sensational meas
ure. 1t confers on borough and

whether they want reorgani-

If q change is voted, the con.

Fokker Hopes to Cover U. S
With Air Lines-To Bid
for Mail Job.
BY JOHN GOLDsTROM.
Universal Service.

Having been assured that the
United States Government intends
60 get actively behind commercial
aviation, A. H. G. Fokker, the
Dutch airplane manufacturer, is
perfecting plans for the estab-
hshment of network of airways
extending from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coasts.
In so doing, the man who con-
tributed more than any other to
German performance in the air
during the war will enter into
competition with American air
plane interests that are aiming
to do the same thing. AS Fokker
has more capital directly behind
him than any of the Americans,
his chances Of success are declared
to be excellent.
Build Plant Here.
Word of Fokker's new plans has
reached air interests represented at
Washington from Germany, where

Quoting passenger glider expert.
ments, He kept one passenger In
the air thirteen minutes and per.
formed stunts.
To evade import duties on his
planes, most of which are manufac.
tured in Holland, Fokker will erect
a plant in the United States, prob.
ably on Long Island. 1t Is expected
that he will use Liberty motors for
the same reason. In most of his
European planes he uses Rolls s-Royce
and other British motors.
On his recent trip to the United
States Fokker conferred with Secre.
tary of War Weeks and other high
Government officials, making certain
that pending legislation to create a
bureau of commercial aviation In the
Department of Commerce would be
passed. He is already making special
military planes for the army and
the navy.
Fokker is expected to be one of
the bidders for the transcontinental
air mail contract when the Govern.
ment turns II over to commercial
interests next July. Congress allowed
an appropriation for the Postoffice
Department to carry on the work
this year only with the understand
ing that the afr mail would be put
on the same contract basis as the
railroads at the close of the present
fiscal year, June 80 next.
