Have You Ever Seen a Modern
Loom Weaving Rugs?
Do you know the process of
washing the wool as it conu-s from
the sheep's back, and then the
process of carding the \v<k>I after
it has been thoroughly cleansed
into various grades?
Do you know the difference be
tween poor w*k)1. good wool and
the best stool (which is called
worsted) ?
Have you ever put your hands
on and handled a piece of fabric
made from pure worsted? ?
I? you have you've noticed what a beautiful, almost silky
sheen it has, and how springy and elastic it is. ami when you pull
or stretch it. how it immediately spring! back in place.
Well. WORSTED is the long staple of wool the very heart
of it?after the poor and good wool has been carded or combed
out of the bunch: and this WORSTED or HEART of wool is the
kind th.it goes into the best grade of
Whiitall Wilton Rugs
and that is why "WHITTALL" woven into the back of a rug
mean?
The Mark of Quality
So, if you haven't yet been in to see the LOOM and all the
RAW MATERIALS in their various stages of process in prepara?
tion for rug weaving, come in TO-DAY or TO-MORROW and
Mr. Coley will explain all thi> and much more \ou'l! be glad to
know.

Jlairston Coes Home Without
Obtaining- Certificate for L\
S. Supreme Court.
PUBLIC HEARING NOV. 29
Governor Tells Committee. Hear?
ing 1'etitions. He Will An?
nounce Decision Friday.
Judge .V 11. iiairston. cliief counsel
for the All. tiis. went to Roanoke on I
t!ie 9:20 o'clock train last night with- J
mit having obtained the necessary i
papers fur an appeal to tho t'nited '
States Supreme Court from Clerk 11. |
Stewart Jone?, of the Virginia Court '
of Appeals. Ho has not made formal I
application for them or left instruc- I
tion that he would positively ask for
them His failure to secure either ai
writ of error or a supersede*.-, which '
w ould automatically act as a stay of J
sentence until the case was decided j
by the t'nited States Supreme Court, I
i> responsible for the growing belief !
around the Capitol that tue Allen j
case may never go higher than the
Governor of Virginia.
Judge 11 airs ton tailed on Mr. Jones
yesterday sisrnlng, and after remark?
ing that he whs leaving the city in
the evening, said that he would either '
return about this time next week or i
write for thoeo portions of the record '
which he would need for an appeal ot
the case to the t'nited States supreme
Court. H.-fore the case can be heard
by the court of last resort, jrie of the j
judges of the Virginia Court of Appeals .
must grant a wtnt of error. No such
writ was secured by Judjie Iiairston j
before his departure last night.
Mm Supersedes*.
It is.customary in such cases to ask.
in addition, a supersrdeus, which in- I
-ores a stay of sentence until tue case
Is threshed jut, but counsel for the ;
Aliens have not yet formally asked
for this order. In criminal cases ap
pealed fr om the State Supreme Court j
to the United States Supreme Court i
tho entire record of the case is not i
necessary, only the final orde" of tho j
court disi'of-ng ->f the appeal and that [
portion of the record relatin,; to the j
constitutional prerogative of the ap- |
pellant. which may be endangered, are j
.required. To malce a transcript of
the whole record in the Allen case
Would require weeks. '
Petitions Presented to Mann.
Following the presentation by a
committee to Governor Mann yester- j
day of bulky petitions asking commu?
tation of Claude Ailen's sentence, this
statement was issuea from the Gover?
nor's office:
?Tntll November 29. the day ap?
pointed by Go\-ernor Mann for the
hearing of any and all persons Inter?
ested in the commutar.on of Claude Al?
len's sentence, the Oovernor will re?
ceive no ..r.e wishing to discuss this
matt-r. On that date, which has been
set aside for the hearing, every one |
desiring to make an appeal will be J
given full opportunity to be h- aid. but
until that time the Governor cannot
be worried from morning to night by
persor.s wishing to Intercede on be?
half of the condemned men."
This ultimatum was made necessary
by the multitude of people who be
t-ieged the Oovernor's office, clamoring
for an opportunity to present argu?
ments fc-r c .mmutation of Claude Al?
len's sentence, until the Governor's life
was made miserable and the routine
work of the esses broken up hopelessly.
Written communications, of course,
will be received, but no answer to
them is probable.
I rngtb> Petition.
At ?'.on yesterday a committee rom
po*ed of Judge N. H. Halrston. P. H. j
Willis, of P.oanoke. counsel for the j
All-ns: W R. F*orbes. Polk Miller and
the Rev. <;e..rge W. McDaniel caDed J
upon Governor Mann in the executive j
offlreg in tht- Capitol and presented l
petitions for Claude Allen's life from |
many sections of the State. While
there is no way of ascertaining the j
number of names signed to the petl- j
dsns. ?ave by speculation. It Is figured
that between f..0*0 and l''."00 people !
have affixed their signatures to the
i ar-er p.-aying for mercy for Claude i
Allen.
Arter the committee had taken Its j
departure from the office the Gover- i
nor announced that he would hold a '
P'jb?c r.earlr.g for all those wishing
to speak in 'Maude's behalf at noon

PRESIDENT urr
VISU RICHMOND
Writes Governor That Opening
of Congress Prevents His
Coming.
WAS TO DISCUSS CREDITS
Virginia Executive Invited to
Lunch at White House
December 7.
On account of the fact thai Decem?
ber 3 Is the opening day of Congress. '
ITesul.-nt W illiam Howard Taft has i
been forced to decline the Invitation i
of Governor Maim to attend the conicr- i
ence of Governors to besin in Hielt- 1
inoiwl on that dal?-. A letter expressing '
his regret* at being unable to come ?
und assigning the reason*, was writ
ten to the Governor of Virginia yester- j
day by 1'realdeni Taft. In detail. Hie
President explained that because of his :
annual message being read to Con?
gress on the day the Governors' con?
ference convenes, It would be practi?
cally impossible for him to get away j
on that day.
In this letter President Taft Invites'
Governor Mann to come to Washing- ;
ton on Saturday, December J. when it .
is expected several of the Governors
attending the conference will be in
the Capitol, to take lunch at the While
House. The Governor ha* not yet
announced whether it will be possible
tor him to accept the President* invi?
tation or not, but unless pressing busi?
ness forbids. It is likely that the Vir?
ginia Executive will be present at the
V? hite Ho ise conference.
Balle ?lag that the gathering of so
many State Executives in Rlchatoad
on December 3 would give President
Taft an admirable opportunity to ex?
pound his plan lor the extension of
rural credits, and confident that the
Governors would be happy to have the j
President meet with them. Governor ;
Mann wrote President Taft an invita- !
tion, to attend the conference last j
Monday. The President was absent :
from Washington at the time, return- |
ing only Wednesday morning, so ttiat
his reply to the invitation was lardy
in reaching Richmond.
To Disc-use Credits.
In the hope of furthering his plan
for extending to tue farmer the sys- j
tem of credit enjoyed by the cities and
af placing the rural population of the j
country on a more comfortable corn- i
inercial basis. President Taft has writ- I
ten many of the Governors, asking1
them to stop over in Washington to
discuss this matter with him while
la this section of the country. The
President realizes that the question or. j
banking facilities for the farmer is
more or less of a State Issue, and for
that reason is doubiy anxious to have
the co-operation and understanding of
the Governors.
As many as raald arrange It have
accepted the President's invitation to
call upon him In Washington, so that
there will be quite an aftermath of
the Governors' conference in the W'hJ;e
House on Saturday. The President ex?
pressed a real regret at being unable to |
attend the conference of the Governors
and present in person this plan whiofl j
:s so near his heart.
The refusal of both the President and I
the President-elect to attend the gath- '
ering here now clears the way of '
everything but real business when the:
Governors arrive.
Governor Mann is still having his]
troubles with the program of the con- .
ference. and is ur.ab'.e to give it out
for publication. The roll of Governors J
who have announced their intention of
being present remains as It was pub?
lished last In The Times-Dispatch.

L. M. Bell, Jr., Holds Suicide"
-Missive a Sacred Family
Trust.
LEAVES WITH THE BODY
Police Still Believe That Love
Affair Caused
Tragedy.
E. M. Bell. Jr.. of New York, bro?
ther of William B. Bill, who commit?
ted nuicide In Murphy's Hotel bow
time Tu..-day, and whose body was
not found until Wednesday, arrived
in Richmond last night at 7 o'clock
He left at 11:30 o'clock with his blo?
tter's body for Oweiisboro. K>., their
home, by way of the Caiesapeakc and
Ohio Railway.
The sealed letter which the suicide
left for him he did not open. He re?
garded it us a sacred family trust, to
be read at the same tlm?- by himself,
his father and sister, who live In Ow- |
enshsra "I will int open the letter," I
lit told a reporter for The Times-Dis- |
patch, "until 1 K?t home."
Aware of th.- bare fact only that
iils brother had ended Iiis life, Mr. j
Hell arrived here to be met by his bro?
ther's friends, F. 1". Smith and C. C.
Orlala, of the Hanover Apartment!?,
where the dead man also lived. Ac?
companied by them he Immediately
went to police headijuarters. Chief
of Police Werner and Captain Pollock
turned over to him his brother's effects.
Puts Letter la Pocket. I
He was first banded the letter, which
he carefully placed in his inside vest
po' ket without comment. The other I
effects, including the revolver with
which Bell pat a bullet Into his heart,
about 111 In currency, a checkbook,
fountain pen and pencils. Captain I">1- ,
lock arranged in a package. His bro- '
ther's watch Bell also placed In hi* ;
pocket. After rece'ptlng for them he
l<-ft the place without comment, lie |
was deeply moved and rarely addressed
a word to his companions. He did say. ;
however, that he knew of no reason
why his brother should huve commit?
ted suicide.
In view of the fact that Bell's letter
remains unopened and that It is not
likely that Its contents will be maxie I
public, mystery still shrouds the mo
live for the suicide. The pol'ce still !
hold to the theory that the solution !
lies with the young woman whose
picture was found In the back of the j
suicide's watch, which was also taken j
by the brother. i
Hurried arrangements were made to ,'
remove the body from the undertaking J
estabUshment. and at 10:30 o'clock it
was at the Main Street Station. The
police made no effort to have Mr. -
open the letter, on which the dead
man had written. "To be opened by
no one but E. M. Bell. Jr.. please."

last night rejected the offer of the
Remington Typewrtter Cong>ariy. to
supply the commercial department of
the John MarshaU High School with
writing machines free of charge. It
took one hour and twenty minutes of
struggle betwesn economy, which coun?
seled the acceptance of the offer, and
ethics, which urged Its rejection, to
arrive at this decision.
Ab a substitute for the committee's
recommendation, thait the Remington
offer be accepted, the board adopted a
motion, directing th* purchasing com.
mittle to exchange the> twenty-one j
type-writers, now the property of the!
schools, for twenty-one new ones, !
equally apportioned between the Item,
lngton, Underwood and L* C. Smith!
companies, at an e-stlmated exchange |
coat of |5 to |10 per machine
To take care of the request for ten j
additional typewriters, needed to ac?
commodate the Increased attendance ]
upon the commercial courses the com?
mittee was given power either to pur- I
chase these additional typewriters out- j
right, at a cost not exceeding the mini?
mum bid originally submitted by any !
one of the three companies named, or I
to secure their use by rental In the1
Remington bid, which was rejected.

more as the schools needed, were to;
have been loaned gratia
Lecture aa Ethlee.
Trouble began as soon as Chairman j
Ebel called for a rote on the recom- j
mendatlon of the committee on build- j
lngs and furniture. J. W. Kirnhrough
took the floor with an admirable lec- '
ture on the faulty ethics Involved in
the acceptance by the city of a gift
from the Remington Company.
The trend of the day. said Mr. Kim- i
brough, was against monopoly of all
kinds The Supreme Court of the
United States grapples with K aa the
most Insistent problem of modern
times. To receive the Remington gift
at the expense of a contract to use :
the4r machines exclusively, he thought,
would be encouraging a monopoly on a,
small scale, and would offer an Inter
Ing wedge for abuses of greater mag?
nitude. Moreover, he argued, it was!
preferable that public school pupils be;
taught to operate all standard models
wrth uniform facility, and this was.
possible only If the students learned
on the several makes simultaneously.
J. G. Cor ley was of the same opinion
and declared himself in favor of giv?
ing the three standard machines re?
presentation la the schools. W. H.
Owens was opposed to having pupils
taught on one particular model, and
thought it would prove a handicap to
the student when applying for posi?
tions with firms using other machines,
t tasdler Favor* Kranbagtea Bid.
principal James C Harwood, of the
John Marshall High School, and Super?
intendent J. A. C. Chandler, both ex?
pressed their personal preference for
the Underwood, and a standardized
equipment, but counseled the accept- j
ance of the Remington offer on econo?
mic grounds. There was not difference
enough 'between the Remington and;
Underwood machines, thought Mr
Harwood, to Justify the needless ex?
penditure of $5/1 or 1600 which would
become necessary should the Reming?
ton bid be turned down
John Bag by observed dryly that in
his opinion there wss only one thing
to do?to accept the Remington bid
and end it. The school board, he said,
was a corporation endowed with full
authority to accept gifts so there could
be no moral obltquity. Moreover, he
thought, the whole matter resolved It?
self into an offer to lend so many type?
writers in exchange for so much ad-1
vertlslng?a proposition which seemed
fair enough. It was advantageous
both to the schools and to the type?
writing company.
The ethical Idea, however, prevailed
and the economist" lost ouf by a vote
of < to 3 Under the motion adopted
the Remington. U C Smith and Un-1
derwood makes will OS. given the same
privileges, and there will be no ex?
clusive contract with either of the |
companies.

LAYMEN Will
SELECT PIANOS
School Board Turns Down Com
I mittce Plan of Selection
by Experts.
Riding roughshod over tile recom?
mendation of too Commute* on Build
Inga and Furniture that tue selection
of pianos for use In the city schools ha
left to a committee of three experts
named at its last meeting, the School
Board took the law In its own hands
last night and named a purchasing
committee of two, composed of Chair?
man Ebel and Clerk C. 1*. Walford, with
Instructions to purchase three pianos
from local dealers at a price not ex?
ceeding 1200 each.
It was an unexpected turn of affairs
and places once wore the selection of
pianos in thu hands of laymen, who,
according to their own conieasion. have
only a rudimentary knowledge of plan?
ology. The light of the local dealers
all along has been to secure the se?
lection of the pianos by experts, whose
training and technical knowledge
would enable them to choose with cer?
tainty the Instrument best salted la
school use.
Cable (esspaay Withdraws Bid.
The act'on was taken without debate.
It followed the reading of a letter
from Walter L>. Moses & Co, declining
to send any of their pianos out of their
warehouse for the purpose of testing
by the committee, and a communica?
tion from W'a.ter C. Mercer, one of the
experts named by the committee, ask?
ing to be relieved from duty. Walter
I>. Moses St Co. Indicated their Willing?
ness to submit any of their Instru?
ments for examination on their own
floors.
A telegram was read from the Cable
Company. Chicago, withdrawing tts
offer to supply the Richmond schools
with pianos. The hoard adopted a res?
olution regrettlug the withdrawal of
the bid. and extending 'ts appreciation
of the favorabe terms upon which
the Cable Company had supplied six?
teen pianos since 1903.
The purchasing committee was in?
structed to visit all local dealers and
to make a careful examination of the
Instruments offered by each before buy?
ing. The Corley C .mpany. because of
Mr. Corley's membership on the board,
was excluded. Mr. Corley d'd not vot"
on any of the motions dealing with the
disposition of the piano question.
