'LOVING FRIENDS'
Everybody Wants to Hear Wil?
son Since vVatterson's
Vicious Attack.
THINK HE MIGHT HIT BACK
New Jersey Governor Arrives
To-Morrow Morning for Day
oi Speechinaking.
Regardless of what they might think
of tlio ? Democratic situation, almost
every voter who can squeeze his way
into the City Auditorium will be theio.
to-morrow night to hoar Governor
Woodrow Wilson. of New Jersey,
thanks to Henry Watterson. When Mr.
Watterson culled for pen and paper,
locked his door nnd unlocked the vials
of sarcasm and Invective, us the New
York Herald put It yesterday, ho did
more to adverttse the Wilson meeting
than would have been possible with the.
aid of many brass bands and guntlu
men who walk the streets on stilts
with naming banners on their bucks.
"Tho Democratic Opportunity" Its the j
subject on which tho Democratic can?
didate for President of the United
States will speak, lie may stick to the
text?for he has delivered the same ad?
dress In many cities?without creating
a sensation, but if he should Hing back
at Watterson, his address would bo
sent broadcast over the land to bei
read by the hungry multitude.
'.re. National Attention.
It happens, therefore, that the Rich?
mond address is lilted uul of the or?
dinary spellbinding class. It has as?
sumed national attention, for this is
to be the first public appearance of the
Jersey Governor since the Watterson.
tirade was printed yesterday morning. ]
Cm top of that the public has discussed
the letters which passed between Gov-I
prnor Wilson und Colonel Ccorgc Har?
vey, after that memorable little din- j
ner at the Manhattan Cl". In New York.
And this seme public Is eager to hear
something from the Governor. Ho was
born In Virginia, he hopes to land the
Virginia delegation long before it
packs IIk grips for Baltimore, and
Vlrpinia has been looking him over
and sizing him up. So, if he should lire
the assemblage as ho goes after his
enemies It might be a great feather In
his cap. for the fighting blood still
tingles through the veins of Virginia
voters.
All Kager t" Ilrnr Htm.
At all events, there is u great desire
to see Governor Wilson and hear him
speak. Even his most bitter onemles
admit that he is a great, speaker. In
Richmond he will be In the hands of
friends, for big delegations are com- |
ing to the city from the various Wood
row Wilson clubs In Virginia, and the J
Woodrow Wilson Club of Richmond
will bo there in full force. Tho Dcg
Islature will be there, the City counc.ll
will be there, the college people will
be there, and nearly everybody else
who can get away from home will be
struggling for admission. There Is no
charge at the door?not even a sliver
offering. M ,
Plans for the entertainment of the
candidate, together with the names
of reception committees, have already
been printed. During the day Govern?
or Wilson will be received by the Gen?
eral Assembly. There will be a public!
reception at the Jefferson Hotel late
in the afternoon, and many other)
events worth while. But the big event
comes at night. Governor Wilson has
a big following in Richmond, and no
matter how people may regard his
policies, he is certain to receive a
greeting so cordial that it will make
him proud and glad. It requires some
big attraction to till the City Audito?
rium but Governor Wilson will hardly
be able to address all of the people!
who hope to get inside,

After deciding to bold a mass- |

district and State conventions will be
elected, tho Republican City Committee, I
at a meeting lust night at Murphy's i
Hotel, adopted n resolution commend?
ing the administration of President i

"Resolved, That we. the Republican
City Committee of lllchmond, Va., de?
siring to bo In thorough accord with
the wishes expressed by the Republi?
can Third Congressional District com?
mittee, and heartily approving of
their action In Indorsing Willlum How?

Tuft's renomlnatlon.
Tho meeting, which was attended
by thlrty-olght members, including
proxies, proved k mild affair, and
while there may have been differences
of opinion among some of tho mem?
bers, all business was harmoniously
disposed of.
RlriKwny .Moore ItmlKnn.
Chairman c. Rldgwuy Moore trn.
dered his resignation. He explained
this notion by saying that at the time
he was elected clutIrinan of the Repub?
lican District Committee he announced
that he would resign us chairman of
the City Committee at the ilrst meet?
ing, The meeting last night was the
llrst hold In sixteen months.
Postumster Edgur Allan. Jr.. urged
the committee not to accept the resig?
nation of Chairman Moore in view of
the fact thut a new committee will he '
chosen nt the city convention'. lie1
also made a motion thai Mr. Moore be
Indorsed as chairman of the commit?
tee and commended b> the committee
for his act in tendering Iiis resigna?
tion.
United stntes Commissioner Molvin
I-'legenhoimer siiid that it was un?
necessary to commend the adminis?
tration of Mr. Moore us chairman be?
cause las? night's meeting was tho
first which had been called by him
since ho became chairman, sixteen
months ago.
However, both motions were carried,
'but not unanimously.
Mr. Moore explained to the commit?
tee that the State Committee hail sus?
tained lilni an chairman of the City
and District Committees. At the time
of his election a complaint was filed
with the State Committee by John O.
I.ucc. deposed chairman of the District
Committee, stating that Mr. Moore
was elected chairman of the District
Committee while chairman of the City
Committee', and contended that he was
holding one of the positions in viola?
tion of the party plan. Tho Stute
Committee ruled otherwise,
T. H. Smith, former postmaster of
Manchester, and now superintendent
of the Manchester station, tendered
his resignation as a member of the
committee from Washington Wnrri on
the ground that Iiis office Is now under
the I'nlted States civil service, and He
Is therefore restrained from active
participation in politics. The resigna?
tion was accepted.
Assistant District Attorney Has
Warrants Issued for Wood
and Holland.
?Warrants were sworn out yesterday,
before United States Commissioner
Flegenheimer by Assistant District At
t .;? Robert FI. Talley, charging

lnnd with intimidating a government
-witness. Thin action followed the
conviction of the two In Police Court.
Part '-. on two wurrants for tho of?
fense of threaten ng Et.heloert Elmore.
Wood was fined $10 and costs on
each warrant, and required to give
bond of $100 for his good behavior for
twelve months. Holland; was let off
with lines of f? on each warrant.
Wood was recently arrested on a
charge of conspiring to defraud the
United States in connection with the
operation of the liroad Rock Distil?
lery, Chesterfield county, which was
s tested by revenue officers.
It Is understood that Wood was of
the opinion that Klmore, a former
bookkeeper of the plant, gave Informa?
tion to tho officers which led to its
seizure, and the subsequent arrest of
persons connected with it. Whether
this is true Is not known, nlthough
it is a fact that lSlmoro will be. a wit?
ness for the prosecution when the
cusc Is taken up at the spring term
of the Federal District Court.
"We have no Intention of permitting
?the. intimidation of any of our wit?
nesses In any ease," said Mr. Talley.
"We will go thoroughly into this mut?
ter, and if there Is any evldcnco to
show that efforts were made to In?
timidate a government witness the
olilce of the district attorney will ask
for the maximum punishment, which
is not morn tlian $5,000 llne^ or six

yesterday morning by Special Officer
Cornell, of Hcnrlco, and lodged In
tho county jail to uwalt a grand Jury
hearing:.
The hold-up oi which Miss Smith
WO.B ft victim occurred curly Saturday
night just beyond tho Uoulcvnrd. on
the Uroad Street noad. She wus walk- |
lug along the road toward her home, i
she .says, when suddenly confronted '
; by a short, black negro, who sprang.
t upon her. knocked her down and sped |
'away with her handbag after a sharp;
I struggle. Miss Smith, terrified by the
attack, screamed and fought with all',
her strength. Her cries attracted .
Magistrate T. J. Puryour from his i
i home, nearby, ink chase, wna given, j
Got Seven I Severe Blosva.
While tho victim of the robbery rc-'
i ccived several severe blows, she was!
not seriously Injured, and was able
t" walk to her home under escort. The
pursuit of the negro had been sol
I llurcu that Misa smith believed her !
! handbag had been dropped In his I
flight. She returned to the site of1
the attack Sunday morning and found j
the bag near tho ro?d, whero It had
been thrown by the robber.
She was able to give stich an ex- j
Cel lent description of her assailant
that suspicion immediately pointed to'
Koland Walker, a negro who Is em- I
ployed in the Southern Stock Yards,
and who lives there. The uttack took I
place only a short distance from the I
Stock Yards; Officer Cornell, who was
assigned to the ease, set to work on
this accurate description and yester- I
day swore out a warrnnt for Walker, j
Walker submitted quietly to arrest.
As soon as he had put Walker un- I
der arrest Offioer Cornell took him
before Mls? Smith for identification.
She said ho looked very much like the
man who had held her up. und be?
lieved she could identify him posi?
tively. In tho HenrlOO Jail yesterday
afternoon Walker denied any knowl?
edge of the crime with which he Is
charged, and claimed he could produce
witnesses to prove that ho did not
leave the Stock Yards Saturday night
at all. On the other hand, the man?
ager of the Southern Stock Yards Is
quoted as saying that thu negro did
leave the yards between 8 and 9 o'clock
that night. Tho attack occurred about
J 3:.-o o'clock.
Walker tallies in every wny, even to
I details of clothing, with the descrip?
tion given fay Miss Smith.

The Kind You Have Always Bought
Bears the
Signature of
Bill in Legislature to Prevent
City From Touching In?
stitute Property.
Following the action of the Street
Committee of the Richmond City Coun-.
ell on Monday night in reserving any
rights the city may havo In opening
streets through the SoldlerB' Homo
property, a btll was offered in the,
legislature yesterday by Judge Mar?
tin Williams, by request, forbidding
the Commonwealth from opening any
highway over or touching tho land of
any confederate Memorial Institute.
While the btll is thus general lu char?
acter, it would be strictly local tn ap?
plication, since there is but otic Con?
federate Memorial Institute In the
world.
The proposition of opening Stuart
Avenue trom the Boulevard to Shop
I'ard Street was considered by tho
Counc 1 committee, and pae.sed over
for the present ou the Opposition of
Judge t'lcorgo L. Christian, of the Con?
federate Memorial Association and Le?
Cam;'. But the city does not desire
tu waive Us tights, ir the hill passes
the Legislature the city will have no
rights In the premises,, since the Oeu
era| Assembly is auprcme.
It Is argued that the. opening of
streets through the property would
greutly damage it, nnd thai b?me day
the entire boundary may bo. used for
ornamental and exhibition purpoi-a -'
On the other hand, lot owners In that
section naturally desire to see thu
slrocts opened.

irelght trains. O. T. Qleavor, of the broth?
erhood, and John L.Cath, of Koanokv. ap?
peared for the employes.
Both of the labor representatives mad*
the. point thut an extra brtikeiuan over tho
number now carried on Virginia trains was
necessary to safeguard properly the em?
ployes and tho traveling public, end to com?
ply with the rules laid down by the ratl
roads touching the sale operation of trains.
In many instances, they .-laud, wrecks mo
traceable to the absence of this extra man.
The railroads were represented by a. loug
array of counsel, contending that no nee*
like that described by the labor representa?
tives existed. They introduced a large num?
ber of engineers and conductors, who stated
without exception that auch a man was not
only not needed, but would actually be In
the way. Among the attorneys appearing
lor the roada were J. H. Carlyle. division
superintendent of the Chrnapeake and Ohio,
and \V. 8. Battle, genera! claim agent of.
tho Norfolk and Western.
In concluding the argument for the brake
men Mr. Greavcr stated that the btll under
dissuasion was similar to others adopted
by sixteen states of tho Union. II? warned
the comm.itec that the trainmen are con?
vinced that a real need for tho law existed,
und that if the General Assembly failed to
pass It, tho men would be driven to strike)
for It.
