LOVING WILL BE TRIED FOURTH WEEK IN MAY Nelson County Murder Case Will Exceed In Interest the MlcCue and Bywaters* Trials. JUDGE LOVING BEING CONDEMNED Ev*fc Hie FrloncU Admit That Per ! haps He was Hasty In Killing Young Este?, But He Will be Given ? Fair Trial?Friends Will Not Talk Case. WASHINGTON, May .*! ?Virgin bins who havo cnnio to Washington dujrjhg tho past few days from Nelson and surrounding counties say that In? dications point strongly to tho coming trial of .lodge Loving for the murder of Theodore Bates as being the most KoiiHatlonal and spectacular In the history of the Stale. They say thai although the trlnl ol[ McCue. of Char lottcsvllle, aboht two years ago and tho more recent trial of tho Strother brothers on the charge of killing By waters, wore In turn among tho most Interesting canes over tried In the State, that tho lxivlng ease will ex? ceed them In many respects. ? 80 highly are both (.he Loving nun Estos families regarded by Nelson county people that It Is almost impos? sible to socuro statements from thorn regarding tho affair at all. None will speak for publication and those who havo told the real feeling that Is thero havo refrained from having their nnmeit used In connection with tho matter In any form. It is nlmoBt certain, froth what can be learned, that the ICstos family will employ other counsel to nsslst Com conwcnlth'n Attorney Whltchcad when tho ease Is called for trial. Although Sheriff KstcH, tho father of the mur? dered mnn, hns Btnted thnt ho will re? ly entirely upon Mr. Whltehead, tho imorlff'H rrlends. It Is thought, will Insist at the. proper time upon his retaining counsel to assist Mr. White head. Tho people of- that section of tho;-Slate where the homicide wns epmlttcd hnve the utmost faith In their prosecuting attorney, lmt.lt Is noW believed thnt because of the hard fight Jtt.Idgo Loving will mnkn, _ nBBlstnnt odtinsel will bo employed to help the stnte. Was Judge Loving Hasty? Some people, who have l-oon here from the section around Nolson coun? ty, do not hesitate to say that while they believe In the unwritten lnw, as i It was administered in tho Strother ease, flint thc Iden Is going too far and too many good mou nre liable to lose their lives without duo provo? cation unless some limit Is set| ICven the friends of Judge Loving uro In some instances condemning him for not-at least having given the man he ^(illed a chance to muke some oxplu 1 nation about tho matter, They say, too, that, had ICstes been guilty of "dishonoring" the daughter of Judge Loving tho trial would have been to a large extent a more formality, but as nothing of that kind nppears to have happened and as the most sc 1 Inns charge with which Hstcs could be confronted wns that of giving the young lady whiskey, the unwrltton law has been carried too far. These same people will stnnd by Judge Loving until the evidence thai Is to be brought out In the trial ol the' cbbo proves him to be at fault, II I? does, and In that caso none will hp more oager for the lnw to tnko Kb course than they. Will Have a Fair Trlnl. Judge Loving will have a fair trial and the people of Nelson county have determined that an Innocent man shall not bo punished, but at the same time It is recognized that the mur? dered man had rights also and these will be protected to the fullest extent which the law provides when the case is called for trial. It Is doubtful If there has ever boon n move Interesting case In Vir? ginia than soon to come off In Nel? son' county, the Strothor case not cx copted. The caso whb aont on to tho grand Jury at tho preliminary trial for the May! torm of NelBon circuit court, which convener tho fourth Monday In tho mouth. MR8. HOPKIN8' HEART YOUNG.

Cooke, Who Fled With Young Heiress Ward. NNW YOUK, May 3.?Believing that Rev; John Knode Cooke, pah tor of St. George's Episcopal church, of Hrmpslcnd, L. I., waB insane when he olopod on Monday with Florotta Whaley, n seventeen-year-old heiress, deserting his wlfo nnd parish for tho girl, a search for tho missing coup' was started today which will oxtend all over tho country. Messages have also been sent to Europo to watcn all ntenmors arrlvlug there during tho next fow weeks. Tho pulpit at St. George's enurch, which Includes among its mombers E. II. Hnrrtman, August Belmont, Mr. nnd Mrs. Theodore Havomeyer, ann other prominent persons, has been de? clared vacant. This action was taken by Bishop Burgess late last night when the case was presented to him by tho vestry? men, who had previously hold a meet? ing at tho home of August Belmont, ecu lor warden of tho church. Cooke, It 1b known, had been Infatuated with the girl for sovcral years. The flight of tho couple was an? nounced through a letter received in a noto to the glrl'B grandmother, wilh whom she had mado hor home, since thnlr father's death, in which she said she loved "hor roctor" more than her home or sister. The note announced that when the grandmother read It tho couplo would bo out of tho coun? try. About tho same time Mrs. Wha? ley rocolvod her granddaughtor's let? ter, explaining why she had not re? turned from a visit to Now York on Mohday, Cooko's absence was discov? ered. An Investigation brought out tho wholo story. Miss Whaley was almost a ward of the rector. Hor father, on his deatn bed, committed the girl to his spirit? ual guidance. When slie comes of age Miss Whaloy will inherit a con Bldcnsblo fortune. Four months ago, It Is Baid. Cooke confessed his infatuation for the g:rt whon her grandmother told him ho must stop coming to her home. Cooke then declared, It Is stated, he couln nover glvo her up, and intended to wed hor some day. Mrs. Cooke, almost prostrated, has gone to hen parents'. home in Hart? ford,; Conn.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY TESTS OF SUBMARINES HELD IN GHOPPY SEAS The Lake Makes a Record of 8.6 Knots In Trial In Ms lug Trim THE BOUT FA3ED SMG CURRENT Runs Made With all Her Motive Pow? er and With Gasoline Engines Alone?Official Time Not Given Out?Repairs on the Octopus Have Been Completed. NEWPORT, R. I.. May Bight land slx-tentha knots an hour, linoffl | clal time, was made yh tho submarine bont Lake on her official speed test In light of cruising trim In Narrugan Isott bay.. Under her gasoline engines I alone the reduction was hardly one knot, the rate being 7.fi8 knots.' It Ib said that tidal corrections' will give I the Lake an oven hotter record, for tho current which she faced for some tlmo was strong and for a time she I had to encounter n choppy seil kicked up by a combination of wind and tide. It was the first practical work the trial board had hcen able, to do In the Important comparative tests of the Lake and tho Octopus, represent? ing two types of submarine boats, thouch they had hecn In session since I Tuesday. Captain Mnrlx. prer.Ment, and all the members of the'hoard except Na vnjl Constructor D. W. Taylor nnd Lieutenant William S. Smith, who ? were assigned to the Lake, went nl'.nrd the tender Nina soon after I* I o'clock this morning. The submarine I followed tho Nina to the coiu*36 and. after Rome delay in placing the mark boats, the Lake went over tho line on her first run northward at one minute and n quarter after 11 o'clock. Captain William Evans was .?t the helm, and by his side was Captain Lake, Inventor of the craft. Run Under Different Power. At the south mark was the gunboat Hist and nt the north end wan the Nina. The conditions were that the boat should make three runs tinder I both her motors and her gnsoltno en I glues, and three under her gasoline englncB alone. A strong northeast wind was blowing down the conT3e land, with the tide setting In, the sea was as choppy as it ever Is on the 1 bay except In storms. The I^ake reached the tipper line I of the mourse In seven minutes and ] sixteen seconds, n rate of 8.2ti knots. Riming back, the boat bad the advaot lage of the wind but the tide was |ngnln.st her nnd Ihe sea was still rough. The Lake, however, made n I of the course In seven minutes and and thirty-three seconds, or 9.1G knots per hour. The average of these two I runs wns a rate of 8.17 knots. The run up the course ngain, which ras against the wind, but with a tit? le tide favoring the bont, was made In 7 minutes and 10 seconds, a rate [of 7.83 knots. Down and up the Icourso the average speed was 8.la tnots. This completed the try-out of tbo I boat at a maximum speed ttqdor both ver.motors and her gasollnj^engines, ?ndjtijt was, foetid', that tjbWnvcrago meml^rs snld the rate was about 8 1-2 I knots. Makes Her Best Record. The speed test of the Lake under gasoline engines only was begun ai once. Conditions of wind and sea had Improved considerably, and on tho third run, which was down thv bay, having both the wind and tld?> with her. the Lake made her best speed of the day, whleh was at the rate of 9.10 knots. Her first run un? der engines wan made In 6 minutes. 57 seconds, a rate of 8.63 knots. Hpr second run, against both wind and tide, was her slowest, the time being 9 minutes nnd 18 seconds, and the rate C.45 knots. The average rate of epeed for theso two runs down and up the course was 7.45 knots. The mean average speed for tho three runs with gasoline engines alone was 7.fi8 knots. Five more runs under tho gasoline engines alone were made at gradual? ly reduced speed to enable the board to make a speed curve from which to figure exact deductions. Railing In light or cruising trim the ballast tanks are empty and the boats run on the surface, with decks as high out of the water as thev can normally set. In this condition the Lake was supposed to carry three torpedoes, but having only one aboard tiro deficiency In weight was made up by filling the air flask with water and by taking Edward Peacock and John Mclnnls. marine constructors of the Bath Iron Works, on hoard. The alight mishap to the Octoptn? having been repaired, the Holland boat will Va put through her speed I trials. . . HAMPTON PUPILS MAKE .
