Tenn. (Special). Ack Hale, 21 years of ago. now langulshea In n rtrlstnl (Va.) Jail and must face the charge of having murdered his former sweetheart, Miss Lillie Davis, pretty 18-year-old girl. The trage dy occurred In East Hill Cemetery. 36 feet from the Virginia state line, In Tennessee. The police give no credence whatever to Halo's story that he loaned the girl his revn'ver. at her request, so that she mllil commit suicide. The girl was to haw beta married Sunday, March 31, to J. M. Mc Roherts, of Oeorgel. Va. She had been the sweethoart of Ack Hale for two years until some months before the killing, when they separated and be accepted McRoberts. Hale is said to have become very much angered at the time, but apparently his wrath cooled, and. presumably on account of the love affair, he came to the city Tuesday from his home, at Johnson City, as he said, on his way to Colorado. He left Bristol, but ut Pulaski. Va.. abandoned his proposed trip and returned to Bristol. He went to the home of the girl's mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, on Hadden Street, late Wednesday even ing, and took Lillie for a walk. The Davis home adjoins the cemetery. They were seen to enter the cemetery about dusk, but, as the day had been very hot and the moon was shining brightly, persons who saw them sus pected nothing, presuming that truy were going to Bit down on the benches In the cemetery and rest. Fifteen minutes later n shot rang out clear and Hale run out of the cemetery- He passed the home of the girl's mother and went 200 yards further to another home, where he reported that the girl had committed nlclde with his pistol. Mlaa Davis was found lying on the grass In a private square with a mortal bullet wound above her heart, from which was gaining her life's blood. She never regained consciousness, but talked Incoherently, and frequently cried out: "Oh, Ack, how could you .' Tou are smothering me to death. Please quit, for Ood's sake." She died an hour and a half later, and Hale was arrested on a warrant charging htm with the murder. Miss Davis had gone driving with Hale in the afternoon before her death. She returned to her home to aaslst her mother and sister In work ing on her wedding trousseau. Hale came and 3ked her to take a walk. 8he did 8o, telling her mother that Sue would return in time to work an hour to aid in finishing up the clothes that night. Witnesses testifi ed that they saw Hale hold her and pour whiskey down her throat. Be side her after the hooting was re ported was found an empty whisky flask. Ten feet distant was found the pistol which ended her life. . The examination of the girl's body by physicians resulted in the disclos ure that she had been criminally as aaultcd. The theory is that Hale as saulted the girl and while she lay on the grass half unconscious be fired the shot that sent her Into eternity. It Is also recalled that Miss Davis was the strongest witness against his (Hale's) brother, Roy Hale, who killed her brother, Irby Davis, at Johnson City. Tenn., several months ago, and for which he is shortly to be tried. While the Davises are not wealthy people, they are highly thought of, and are closely related to some of the richest people In this section. Hale is In Virginia and refuses to cross the state line. He was locked up in Virginia after the shouting be cause there was a doubt about juris diction. It developed later that the killing was on Tennessee soil. 40 V I : i:s TO lilt; CAN Alt, Prediction Made By 'oiigrvssmun Ton or At lun(iiet. Pittsburg. Pa. (Special).

New York (Special) .-James Hen ry Smith, to whom Wall Street had given tho nnme of "Silent" Smith, died Midrnly at Kioto, Japan, some time on Tuesday night. The news of his death reached here In n cable dispatch. It was sent by the Duke of Manchester, who was one of the Smith party. Mr. Smith wns on a wedding trip with his wife, who wnt Mrs. William llhlnelandcr Stewart, and who waa Miss Annie Armstrong, of Baltimore. Mr. Smith nnd Mrs. Stewart were married In Scotland last September and began n tour of the world with friends severnl months ngo, leaving England on Anthony J. Drexels yacht Mnrgerlta. The other members of tho party, besides Mr. nnd Mrs. Smith, were Miss Anita Stewart, Mrs. Smith's daughter, whose guardian she be came under her decree of divorce from William Rhlnelander Stewart, and the Duke nnd Duchess of Man cheater. The party spent sometime In India, where It was reported that they had met the Amir of Afghnnls tnn. Later reports from lndln said, that while nt Agra, Mr. Smith had a severe chill, which made the party decide to hasten to Japan. When the yacht reached Hongkong Mr. Smith had It sent bark to New York and the party took a pnssenger steamer to Yokohoma. From thero they went to Kioto. Tho first news that Mr. Smith had been taken suddenly 111 there, wns contained In a cable dispatch received on Monday at Mr. Smith a offices here, at 10 Wall Street. This mesBnge was sent by the Duke of Manchester, and simply said that Mr. Smith was very 111. Inherited dido's Wealth. Mr. Smith, whose fortune was es timated at $60,000,000 at the time of his death, Inherited most of It from his uncle, George Smith, a pioneer of the West, at one time pnrtner of Alexander Mitchell, and heavily in terested in Chicago renl estate. Mr. Smith camt into this fortune In 1899, when he was an Inconspicuous but successful broker In Wall Street, then possessed of a fortune of sever al million dollars. He was well known to his business associates, but had played no role in society. George Smiith was a native of Aberdeen, Scotland, and came as a young man to the Northwest, hut for many years before his death he bad lived in the retirement of n London dub. He had come to the United States in 1S33 and brought with him sufficient capital to Invest in Chi cago and Milwaukee real estate. He sold his holdings three years later at a great profit and returned to Scot land, expecting to pass the remainder of his life there. The panic of 1837 compelled him. however, to retniu and safeguard his Interests, and this time he brought Alexander Mitchell with him. They opened a bank and founded the Wisconsin Marine and Fire Insurance Company. A clause In the charter of this company permitted them to accept deposits and issue certificates. So good was the credit of the bank in the community that these certificates "Smith's money" they were called passed currency more readily than the wildcat money of the state banks. It. was In 1839 that he formed with his father the first bank in Chicago. He was naturally prominent in all Industrial activity In the new coun try, and had much to do with the organization and promotion of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad. One of Mr. Smith's most profitable Investments probably waa a pur chase of a large amount of Argentine bonds, which he obtained at 20 and Old at par. This single investment is said to have netted him more than $10,000,000 profit. Mr. Smith never married and at his death the bulk of his great fortune went to his nephew. Alexander Mitchell settled In Mil waukee and Angus Cameron, another partner, returned to Scotland to live. George Smith settled in New York nnd opened an office In Wall Street, sending to Scotland for his nephew, James Henry Smith, and going to London to live for the rest of his life, with the exception of occasional visits to this country.

AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL Some interesting Happenings Briefly Told. Fear Is expressed in official circles In Washington that President Zelaya will follow up his success In the cam paign against Hondurus by moving against other Central American states. The United States and Mexi co, however, do not consider this a time to intervene. The prosecution concluded Its evi dence In the ease of Blnger Hermann, accused of conspiring to defraud the government. '1 he executive committee of the Association of American Law Schoolu considered plana for elevating tho standard. Joseph Bucklln Bishop, in charge of tho isthmian Canal hendquartora, Bays there is no strike on tho canal zone among the workmen.

Secretary of the Amerirnn Legation at Tegucigalpa Assumed Charge of the City After the Pnciate Flight of ihe Honduran and Held It Until the Nicaraguans Occupied It. Washington (Special) . Nicaragua haa established a provisional govern ment In Honduras nnd President Belaya, through his representatives, rules at Tegucigalpa and the Hondu ran capital. Instead of intervention by the United States and Mexico, this Government will be flaked to recog nize the new government which President Zelnyn, by hla conquest of Honduras, has eatubllahed. In the opinion of officials here, this ends the war. These nre the loteat developments In the Central American situation as indicated in dispatches received nt the State Department and bv Cen tral American diplomats. News of the fall of Tegucigalpa received offi cial confirmation from Mr. Philip R. Brown, secretary of the American Legation to Guatemala and Honduras In this dispatch to the State Depart ment: "Tegucigalpa wns ahnndoned early Wednesday precipitately. It was oc cupied Tuesday night by the Nlrara gnnn nnd Honduran revolutionary forces. I assumed charge In the In ternal with the nid of the consuls nnd preserved order. The Bonilla government no longer exists." Definite information contained In this dispatch that the Bonilla Govern ment no longer exists removed all doubt In the minds of officials here as to the complete victory of the Nicaraguans and puts a new phase on the sltuntion as regards the ef forts of the United States and Mexi co to bring about peace. Inatead of treating with the established Govern ments of Honduras and Nicaragua in the effort to bring about negotlatlona for pence, the flight and apparent surrender of Bonilla removes one of tho parties to the controvery. If the Juntn established nt Tegucigalpa can maintain Itself It would seem thnt this provisional government will take over the affairs of Honduras and tho need for Intervention Is obviated. There is every Indication that Bontlla's followers are not strong enough to attempt to retake the Honduran capital, and in view of the fact that news has been received here Indicating that Salvador will not. give further asalstance to Hom duras the opinion ia that Bonilla need no longer he reckoned with. Mr. Creel, the Mexican Ambassa dor, confirmed the diBpatchea that Salvador has expressed a desire for peaco In Central America, and Is anx ious to have Mexico exert Its good Influence in ending the war. This action of Salvador will doubtless pre vent Guatemala or Costa Rica from taking any part In the support of Honda ras. Salvador Claims Victories. San Salvador (By Cable).

Even the local newspapers are not allowed to publish howb of the vic tories of President Zelaya, of Nicara gua. It Is asserted that the armies of Salvador and Honduras have not been acting together, probably on account of jealousies between the generals, while the Nlcnrnguan army Is said to be well disciplined.
