FRED JfflGTOR
GRANTED RESPITE
Murderer's Sanity Will Be In?
vestigated?Will Live Until
December 6.
JAIL PRISONER PARDONED
Opinion in Roy Sullivan Case
Prepared, but Withheld
for Present.
Fred Arrlngton. under sentence ot
death in the electric chair on Octo?
ber 2 for the murder ot Tom Dunn, In
Halifax County, waa granted a respite
yesterday by the Governor until De?
cember 6. In the meantime, inquiry
will be made as to the condemned
man's sanity.
? curious streak seems to run
through Arrington's family. wnatj
they call "tfope" seems to -be a rather
staple article of diet. Through two]
or three generations it has been the
habit to use this "dope." beginning
with an incident at the aignlng of a
will. At all events, those relatives.
who have been to the Capitol to dis?
cuss Arrington's case have talked free?
ly of their addiction to the opiate, or j
(whatever it is.
j Arrlngton Is supposed to be affected
with a mental disorder, pernaps be- j
cause of "dope." After the murder he
disappeared, and Is said by some to j
have gone to Florida, and t>y others
to have remained about his home. Thu
Governor offered a rtward of $100 for
his apprehension, and he was cought
at home, after he had been at large
a year.
In the meantime, aome bones, with
Arrington's secret order button, were
found in a lonely spot, and it tv-as aup- j
posed by many that he was dead. This
indicates that his mind was not en?
tirely gone, since he is supposed to
have made the plant himself.
Since conviction, there has been a
question as to his sanity, and the re?
spite has been granted for purposes j
of investigation. Joseph fetebbins, Jr.,'
one of the members of the House of
Delegatea from Halifax, is his attor?
ney.
PARDON FOR PRISONER i
Man Most Be Operated Oa and la Gtvea
His Release. j
A conditional pardon was granted j
yesterday by the povernor to Phil \
VolUn. who was given twelve months |
in Jail in Alleghany County, on a ]
charge of receiving stolen goods. He |
has been serving his sentence since |
June 2. According to the jail physi- i
clan, VolUn is in imperative need of j
an operation and f urtner confinement I
.would be greatly to his disadvantage.'
The pardon was asked for by the
sheriff and the attorney lor the Com-1
monwealth. i
OPINION WITHHELD
Commonwealth WUI .\ot Divulge Plaas
In Sullivan Case.
Assistant Attorney-General R B.
Davis has sent to the Governor his
opinion :n the matter of the place of
trial of Roy Sullivan, and it was for?
warded by the Governor yesterday to
! the Commonwealth's attorney for Ptt
! eyivanla County, it was not made pub-I
lie. the reason being that its publica?
tion would be to reveal to the opposing
side the plans of the Commonwealth
for the trial.
Report was made to the Governor
that public sentiment in Pittsylvania
favored the prisoner, who killed a
sruard in July. It is said the people
are incensed because Sullivan, a white
convict, was made to work beside and
j w ith r.egro prisoners.

State Finance Committee Makes
Plans to Get $25,000
for Campaign.
IS CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS
jjohn Stewart Bryan Elected
Chairman, and Promises
Strenuous Effort.
Determined that Virginia shall do her j
part In securing; the election of Wood
row Wilson, the finance committee for
Virginia, appointed by the Democratic j
National Committee, made plans last |
night to secure campaign funds from
the citizens of this State. Confidence [
in the result was manifested by the
members of the committee, who be?
lieved Democratic success will be
achieved If the issues and the candi?
dates can be properly presented to the
people.
Members of the committee present
were Cslonel Walter 11. Taylor, of Nor?
folk; John Stewart Bryan, of Rich
I mond: Kugene Withers, of Danville:
I.Judge K. D. Newman, of Shenandoah;
fill Mil Ueutenant-Governor Joseph E.
Willard. of Fairfax, and former Ueu
tcnant-CJovernor Edward Echols, of ]
Staunton. The meeting was held in the
I purlor jf Murphy's Hotel.
Mr. Echols had been appointed chair?
man for Virginia, but asked to be re
' lieved of that duty, although willing
I to do his part as a member of the com?
mittee. Thereupon John Stewart Bryan j
was elected chairman.
Waat $25.000 la Virginia.
As Virginia's share in the campaign
contributions, the Democratic National
Committee has asked that this State
contribute $25,000 to the national fund.
The finance committee proposes to see j
that this sum Is secured.
"We are going to get It," said Chair?
man Bryan, "because we have faith in
our cause, our platform and our can?
didates; because we believe the triumph
of the Democratic party in the coming
election is for the goad of our coun?
try; because the Democratic National
Committee needs the money and must
have it, to make an effective campaign;
because It will go into hands where j
, it will not be wasted, but will be used j
'to educate the public: because the peo
| pie of this State will rise to the first
I opportunity in many years tj make
Virginian President."
1 The most encouraging report received I
last night was from Mr. Withers, who
stated that more than $900 had already
been raised in and about Danville.
This puts part of the Fifth District In
the lead from the standpoint of cam?
paign contributions. It was also
learned that there is much activity in
the Second District, while reports from
the Seventh and Tenth Districts were |
mist encouraging. WTork In the other
districts will he organized at once.
All Will Be Seen.
I Mr. Bryan said he would see to It 1
that the Third District does Its share j
and that no person In Richmond who J
ought to be a contributor will be left j
without an opportunity to do his part.
He left the Impression on the commit?
tee that he would go into the high?
ways and hedges and compel them to |
[ come In.
j This finance committee for Virginia ]
is charged by national party author!-*;
j ties with the duly of raising Virginia's
i 'luota of money, and is expected to do '
i It Funds are r.ot r.ieded 'n Virginia
j to secure the success >f Democratic
I presidnetial electors, for that is cer
{ tain. But the national committee is
woefully in need of money. It will sc
| cepf. no money from corporations, and
] the individual contributions are neces
j saxily rather small. The expenses of a
. ' .impaign which Is to cover the c>un
' try is enormous. The pos!age bill
j ;ilone would stagger belief of those who
' are not familiar with such campaigns, j
; Then there are expenres of speakers,
j hire of halls, bands, printing and many
j other Items.
I the meantime those who desire
ro avoid the pressure that the members
j Of the finance committee from Virginia
.'.ill hring to bear may send their con?
tributions at once to their district
Iflnaaos chairman, the member named
'above, or to State Finance Chairman
John Stewart Bryan. In Richmond.

Prefers Mediation.
"The commission has." comments the I
report, "continued to pursue its hlth- j
erto announced policy with reference to :
complaints against the railro-ds and i
other public service corporations. That
is to say. whenever a complaint is ;
lodged' with the commissi >n tunless ,
frivolous upon .its facei. however in- '
formally It may be presented, the com?
mission presents it to the corporation ]
complained against and seeks, and gen- !
; f rally succeeds, in bringing the com- 1
I plainsnt and the officials of the cor- j
poratlin into a conference in the pres
j esses of the commission or some nun
; ber of it. We thus attempt by media?
tion ti> avoid formal judicial hi SI lag.a
because we believe that by this method,
i in meritorious cas? s, such relie f as is
j just may be speedily secured without
j the delays and expense of litigation. I
I Because of this policy there have been !
j few judicial hearings. Nj record of!
j matters of this character appears ex
j cept such as may be gathered rrom the ,
j correspondence In each case, but we
believe that much has been accom
! plished and many causes of friction re
: moved during the past year,
j "The report of the chief examiner
, of baaks appears in this volume and 1
needs no comment except that the ex?
aminers of banks and the rJsrka in that <
bureau deserve commendation for their !
faithful attention t> their duties. .
"The clerk of the commission and
his subordinates continue to be faith?
ful to their multifarious and laborious
duties, and it is believed that the pubiic

Institute, but His Age
Proved Hoodoo.
Theodore Roosevelt Seal, of this city,
was fourteen years old yesterday, a
fact which weighed heavily upon nls
ambition because he wanted to enroll
as a student in the Viiglnla Mechanics
Institute. ataicS ?nforces a minimum
age limit of fifteen.
The spirit at Ins illustrious name

made rule, and gain, d momentum aa he
reflected that the greater Theodore
had solved a more- btringent Inhibition
with thiee cups ot coffee. Whereupon
he confronted StaPOi intendtnt i'iaiik
W. Puke with an application blank,
duly filled out and setting forth that
he, Theodore Roosc-velt Seal, was born
September 25, 18!?*??illustrious year of
the Spanish-American War?and that
he was proliclent in the necessary suo
jects required for entrance.
An oral examination conducted by
Mr. Luke revealed the fact that Theo?
dore Roosevelt was well-prepared and
competent. He was on the point of
sSSSllin; the proper credentials, when il
occurred to him that 1898 subtracted
fr.in 1312 leaves only fourteen, a <J. E.

The Ulrl That Algebra Killed.
The institute opened for Its fifty
eighth session last night with an en?
rolment o' 3T6. an increase of twenty
five over the attendance last year. The
work of otganlzing the classes was
begun and will continue to-day and
to-morrow. Regular work will begin
in all departments Monday night.
Drawing its students from every
class of the city's population, the
school Is confronted with problems pe?
culiar to It alone. A number of par?
ents come daily to consult with the of?
ficers of the institution with regard to
the best course of study for their off?
spring. In one case at l*-ast. accord?
ing to Superintendent Duke, his ad?
vice was received with ill grace.
The woman In question had describ?
ed the peculiar longings of her son in
the direction of a specialized mechani?
cal pursuit, and Mr. Duke suggested
as a working basis for this calling, a
course In algebra. His interviewer en?
tered vigorous objection at once, de?
claring that Willie would have to do
without his heart's desire.
"I won't have him studying any
algebra." she said. "I had a girl who
studied it in the high school, and It
killed her."
Mr. Duke rcfraftied from inrjuiring
into the details of the daughter's
death, fearing another school investi?
gation by the Council.
