in Scott 's Addition, in the western sec?
tion of the city, Richard Quales. a
young colored man. was lodged In the
lienrlco c< unty Jail yesterday without
bail. The crime 1? alleged to have
taken place at u o'clock Wedlosdav
night on a deserted section oZ the
Broad Street Road, near the western
limits of the city.
Ni ws ,->f the assault was telephoned
ysierdny morning to jailer c,ari'e:t
l.y County Officer .1. j, OonnOl, who
rif.de" in the neighborhood. ?Ii sup?
plied the authorities with n descrip?
tion of thb man. and his arrest fol?
lowed a few hours later. The neti"
uns carried to tho county Jail at 11
<? el.irk yesterday morning, and will p.
kept there pending j csltlvc Identitlca
ll?n by the young woman.
Accordinir to the story told by Miss
Hoblnson aixl an eight-year-old brolii
or u ho accompanied her, they were 0:1
their way home niter a visit ro a
friend In the neighborhood, when n
1 1 ;?!<? Jumped from concealment by lh.3

ensued, In the course of which the

Quales was arrested at o o'clock
yesterday morning by County Ofllcr

complete description furnished by the
e:rl, and was at once taken to her for
Identification, Miss Hoblnson. how?
ever, according to the officers, was le?
nervous and wrought up nbout the af?
fair to give any reliable testimony o 1
this score, and the negro was taken
to Jail to await her complete recover";
Both the uirl and her brother dlscov.
ered a striking resemblance between
the prisoner and the assailant, but nel- |
'.her could say with cettalnty that he j
whs the right man. The hoy thought |
that Qualo was a little larger than
tiie man that Is wanted, but both were
In too highly excited a condition to
identify him beyond question.
The neirro appears to be about twen?
ty-five years old and Insists upon his
innocence. Shortly after his arrest he
1 told the authorities that he was pre
,:. i to prove an alibi, and gave the
liami of a frin'ed with whom he said he
was at the time the assault Is said to
have been attempt' 1. When approached
by the officers, how. vor. the man de?

CHAIN OF STORES
FOR WORKINGMEN
Leaders Plan, to Fight High
Cost of Living by Co-Opcra
tive Scheme.
CONSUMERS TO GET PROFITS
Stores Will Apportion Earnings
Among Customers on Basis
of Purchases.
At n conference between representa?
tives of the State Federation of Labor
ami the Farmers' Co-operative and hid
ucatlonal Union; held at Murphy's Hotel
yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, plans
were formulated calling for the estab?
lishment In the near future of co-oper?
ative stores'in Newport News', Rich?
mond, Norfolk and Clifton Forge, it
was decided to apply at once for a
charter Incorporating the company,
with a capital of from $1,000 to $50,000.
The corporation win be known us
the "Union Producers' and Consumers'
Co-operative Company." It will follow
clos. iy the lines of similar enterprise s
in Europe, particularly the well-known
co-operative store system In force in
England, in that country, according
to the labor leaders in session yester?
day, the stores have filled a genuine
economic need and have saved Working
men many thousands of dollars In Co
cheapened cost of necessities.
Dividends to Customers.
Roughly sketched, the plan Is to open ,
stores in thriving manufacturing towns
having a large working population and j
located in the centre of an agricultural
? ommunlty. The stores will buy all
products of the farm at the current !
market price and resell them to con
sinners at a nominal prosit In turn. |
tlie stores will undertake to supply the I
farmers with all Implements and sup?
plies they themselves heed, at a narrow
margin of profit.
'Mice a year or oftener. the total
earnings of the co-operative stores are
to be distributed to the customers, the
profits being apportioned in ratio to
the total amount of purchases during
the accounting period, A record will
be kept by the stove of every purchase
made by individuals.
Except for the pi out-sha ring feature,
the stores will be conducted in the same
manner - as other enterprises In the
same Held. It is expected by the found- i
ers thut the co-operative stores will (
ha.ve nn important bearing upon the
retail prices charged In the communi- |
ties where they will b? located, re?
sulting in a lessened sost of living.

DEMOCRATS SEE
CHANGE AT HOME
Figure That Wilson Will Be
Under No Obligations to
Virginia Machine.
BAND-WAGON JUMP AMUSING
Byrd and Smith Get Cordial
Greeting on Return From
1 taltimorc.
Republican office-holders and Demo?
crats who hope to be turned yesterday
to the big newspapers of the country
to lind what the press thought of
Wood row Wilson's nomination. There
was not much comfort for Republi?
cans. The general editorial tone
seemed to indicate that Wilson would
sweep the country, that Roosevelt's
Hull Moose party would not amount to
anything at all, and that President
Taft would be literally crushed under
an avalanche of Democratic votes
While Democrats in former cam?
paign years predicted wildly that
Bryan?three times?ami Parker?once
?would win. they never believed It at
heart. But now they do. They are
convinced.
May Cripple Mai blue.
Rut. like the Republicans, machine
leaders who fought Wilson at every
stage, and only Jumped Into the band
wagon when they were Impressed with
the tremendous demand for his nomi?
nation, realized?without admitting it
? that under the new administration
the machine would not be dictator In
Virginia affairs. Long recarded as a
part of the big organization, Richard
Evelyn Byrd practically broke away
from It when he took charge of Wil?
son's campaign In this State, .lust be- I
fore the Baltimore convention he an?
nounced thnt he had retired from he- i
tlve politics. Senator Martin. In an
interview In Baltimore, asserted'that
he was for anybody but Wilson. Swan
son was for Underwood or Clark, while
Flood, one of the ''big four." was t'n
derwood's champion. Mr. Byrd and
Marry St. George Tucker gambled on
Wilson's chances, and they are about
the happiest men In Virginia to-day. 1
People Behind Wilson,
Mr Ryrd's greeting when he re- 1
turned here on Wednesday night satis- !
lied him that the people wr re behind
Wilson. Naturally, the public has as?
sumed that in the even; r,t Wilson b
election Mr. Byrd will be the consult
inc power In Virginia. Then. If Mr. '
Tucker should be elected Governor] It '
Is argued that he. too, would have'
strong influence at tne White House.
The whole thing opens up a wild
held at political speculation. There
may be a new alignment, politically,
the one chance for Republicans rtbW
in office lies In the fact that Governor
Wilsons record proved that he believ?
ed In the evil service system. He
joes not believe In turning out a go) I
Republican to make room for a n
Democrat. Politicians naturally resent
that policy, although It is unreasonable I
to assume that the public would re?
sent It.
The discussion thus far has rather
swung around Republicans who may
lose out. There has not been much
discussion ns to who might be ap?
pointed postmaster or district attor
tiew or United States marshal In the
< ven of a Democratic victory. Repub?
licans who have fed long at the Fed?
eral trough seem to (eel that in a year
or se? they must go to work.
Couldn't t'uderatnnd Attack.
The public moreover has never been '
able to understand why the machine In I
so many Slates opposed the New Jer?
sey Uovernor* Rut the delegates in I
Baltimore. during that memorable
deadlock, found out what t:.c pcopic
at home thought about it. At o'clock I
Tuesday morning th.y admitted that
they were In the air. that they might
be forced to remain In Baltimore a
week loncer. Hut the countrywide de?
mand for Wilson had its effect, the
world knows. There were not many,
??"lark people In Richmond. A :e?
of the old-timers advocated Harmon. I
who never hod a look-in. nnd Just
about as many stood behind rr.de:
wood. Night after nicht In two of
the theatres on Broad Street the!
crowds cheered vociferously when Wll-I
son's picture was flashed nn the
screen. But the ward politic.ans like
the machine leaders, were against him 1
Smith, Byrd and Tucki r.
Governor Mann, at heart, was for1
Wilson. lie said as much before he
left for Baltimore. H. M. Smith. Jr..
like Mr. Byrd. was a dyed In the wool
Wilson msn to the very end. and the
only Wilson delegates from the Third '
District. So was Tucker. When Sena?
tor Swanson stood <,n a chair near the
finish and announced that Virginia
would give Wilson twenty-four votes ?
alter Illinois had changed and rea>'.ly
turned the tide?Byrd, Tucker nndj
Smith started a demonstration which j
extended far. The talk wns that Vir?
ginia would wrestle awhile with Wll
SOtl, and if he dropped back the who),
delegation, under the unit rule, would
he swung to UnderWood. But It never
had th* chance. When I!!, no is br \r
away from Clark the Jig was tip.
Mr. Sm't'n shared with Mr Byrd the
warm greeting yesterday from Rich?
mond people who advocated Wilson's
nomination.
The prediction was made yesterday
by a "national Republican" that Pres?
ident Tart would not poll 50? votes
in Richmond. Vliginta Democrats who
strayed away are coming back. Scores
of Democrats, however, announced n
week ago that they would not vote for
cpirk. Somehow they did not lIKe him
nereabout. And the opinion heard on
every hand is that Wilson Will sweep
the country and thnt his election will
bring about changed conditions 'n the
party in this State?conditions which
will further cut down the Republican
vote in national elections.
i homas S. and i lioiuns l\
Tn regard to the Ryan matter. The
TimeS-DlSfiatch JIIc.m show that ac?
cording to the report telegraphed from
the State convention in Norfolk on

ENEMIES TRYING
10 AROUSE IRISH
Unfair Attack on Wilson Fails '
to Get Up Indignation
Meeting.
The first unfair utt^ck on Wpodrow
Wilson appeared in a Washington dis?
patch printed In The Times-Dispatch '
yesterday morning, and uatiirally it'
aroused many good people to the point
of wrath. Congressman Rodenberg, <.>'
Illinois, who culled at the White
House to assure the President of his
re-electionr Liter gave out an Inter?
view, In which he quoted front Gov?
ernor Wilson's book. "The Amerb ill
Vtt -pie." Mr. HodcnL,e.'K was quoted
us follows: I
"Wo Will shoot Woody >> llson so
full of holes In November he won't
know what struck him. If thero Is
nothing else to do It, his fifth volume
of 'The Ani-rlcan People,' pages 212
to tan. ought to do the Job. In thin
he practically says thru, a CMhaman
Is far better than the people from
Southern Kurope. an1 compares the
Irishman to the Chlnamau, to the dis?
advantage of the Sons of Erin."
Mr. Wilson did nothing of tho sort.
Many Richmond people who are nat?
urally proud of their Irish blood c'.e
dared yesterday that if Congressman
Rodenberg had quoted correctly from
Wilson's book, they would urge that
us Indignation meeting be held, and
thut a club be formed to work for
the election of President Taft. U will
hardly bo necessary to do that, for
nn examination of Governor Wilson's
honk shows nothing that by any form
of reasoning could be e?iistrued as an
attack on the Irish.
On pages 212 and 213 Governor tVll
son speaks of the sturdy stock which
has come to this country from North?
ern Europe, and elsewhere refers In
eulogistic terms to the fine character
Of the Scotch-Irish. It might be well,
however, to finally dispose of the Rod?
enberg charge by quoting from the
pages he calls to mind:
"Through the century men of the
sturdy stock of Northern Kurope had
made up the main strain of foreign
blood, which was every year added
to the vital working force of the
'country, or else men of the Latin
.Gallic stock of France and Northern
i Italy ; but now there came multitudes
? ?! men Of the lowest class from the
j f-'oulh of Italy and the men of the
I meaner sort out of Hungary and Po?
lland, rnen out of the. ranks where
there was neither skill nor energy, lior
any Initiative of quick Intelligence:
land they came In numbers which In?
creased front year to year as If the
i the countries of the south of Kurope
were disburdening themselves of the
most sordid nnd 'hapless elements of
[their population, the men whose stand?
ard of life and work was such as
1 American workmen had never dreamed
j of hitherto."
I Inasmuch as Ireland is In Northern
! Europe, and Inasmuch as Mr. Wilson,
In tin part of his history assails di?
rectly or indirectly the Irish people.
Mho Rodenberg charge will hardly
attract attention hereafter.

SAYS WILSON IS
S ELECTED
Carter Glass Believes Jersey Map.
Will Poll Biggest Vote Since
Cleveland.
Carter- Glans, represcntatlvc In Con?
gress r:om tho Sixth District, believes
ih.a Woodrow Wilson will poll the,
higgest popular vote since the clcc*
tum of Cleveland. In his opinion, the,
Governor of New Jersey Is already ..a
good as elocter, and present bone
Itclarles of Republican patronage may
us well begin at once to seek for
paaturci noW.
"A4 one of the two Virginians who
miido speeches at the Norfolk con
ventlon in the interest of Wilson, I
need hardly say that I Was u Wilson
n.un fiom the beginning, ?? aald Mr.
<ila!s to u reporter for The TlmcS
Dlspatch yesterday at Murphy a Ho*
tel. "1 have always believed tnat ha
Is the moat available Democrat tor tho
presidency) and now 1 am sure of
It."
Mr. Glass made light of the claim
set up by certain Republican leaders
that the selection of Wilson by the
Democrats will tend to heal" tho
breach In the Republican ranks and
unite the conservative and progres?
sive wings of the Grand Old Parly
against a formidable common foe.
"I don't believe for n moment," sail
Mr. Glass. that Mr. Roosevelt's third
party will attract any considerable
nuntiber of votes which might be ex?
pected to gO to Wilson I take no
stock In this third party1 program of
appcallntc for support to Democratic
progressives. 1 wo ildh't be afraid to
s?" that Koos, volt, If he carries out
his present Intention of appearing us
an Independent candidate next Novem?
ber, will not attract to his standard
more than S per cant, of the D< :no
cratlc vote of the country. Progress
slve DerhocTats havo no heed to go
ouislrle the fold for a loader; they
have one In Wilson."
EUGENE BAY NOT
BE ABLE TO VOTE
When Eugene Payne appeared tie
fore Justice Crutchileld yesterday
morning to answer to the charge of
being disorderly h.5 explained that he
wag a Democrat and would vote for
Wilson In tho fall, and that he hadn t
"done nothln' bad nohow." He v..,?
turned loose on the strength of this
declaration and his promise to be good
j hereafter.
About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
I he appeared before the desk sergeant
j at tue Second Police Station, but a a
there was no charge against h'm ex
, < ? pt that of being drunk, preferred
j by the ORlcer. he was cooled o!t and.
again left to follow his own devices.
I E igen,- calls himself a "white folks'
nigger,'' but that does not seem to
keep him out of trouble mainly. It
seems, beeause he has an abnormal
antipathy towards his own race He
was turned oul of the City Jail Wed?
nesday evening with a Pule change
that he had accumulated as head
trusty In that Institution. In a litt!?
moro than two hours thereafter ha
had begun an argument at Seventh
!?nd nroad Streets with several others
I of his color, which resulted In his
arrest. Nothing but. his political con?
ditions saved him before. justice
C'rutchfield yesterday morning, yet It
seems that taste for gin and his
hatred for hU own race may be the
; cause of his being marked absent at
, the polls w'ien the balloting for Presl
j dent is on i.ext November.
