GIRL MURDERED
1 CEMETERY
carded Lover Accused of An
Awful Crime.
THE FATE OF AN EASTER BRIDE
Miss Lillie Davis Stops Work on Her
Trousseau to Take a V alk With Her
Former Sweetheart- He Declares He
Loaned Her Hi Pistol and That She
Committed Suicide.
Bristol. 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.

Colton, Cal., (Special). A disas
trous wreck on the Southern Pacific
Occurred. 1 M miles east of here,
When westbound Train No. 0, from
N'ow Orion ns for Sun Francisco, ran
into nn open switch while going nt
the rate of 4 0 mllra nn hour.
Ten of the 14 conches were de
railed. Twenty-six persons are known to
have been killed, nnd the final list
will probably total much higher. The
In lured number about 100, many of
whom may die.
The wrecked ciWhcs were hurled
In every direction and four were
smashed Into splinters. Most of the
dead wore Italians from New York
and New Orleans, going to San Fran
cisco. They occupied the smoker and
day conch.
The dead were terribly maimed
and mangled. Eighteen corpses were
brought to Colton nnd eight addition
al bodies could be seen underneath
one of the demolished cars. This ear
could not be raised until a derrick
was brought from Los Angeles, 60
miles away.
The injured were carried here In
vehicles of all sorts, and the Colton
Hospital was quickly filled to Its ca
pacity. Many were then taken to
the Presbyterian Church and to priv
ate residences.
But. two Americans are known to
have been killed, although several of
them among the injured are expected
to die within the next few hours.
George L. Sharp, of Muncle, Ind.,
was Instantly killed. The baggage
man of the train, whoso name had
not been ascertained, was also killed.
Engineer Clarence E. Wormington
nnd Fireman Victor Crebb Jumped,

only two sustained serious injury. The
three Pullman coaches and the din
ner, which were on the rear of the
train, did not leave the track. The
occupants of these cars were practi
cally unharmed.
The Florence Roberts Theatrical
Company occupied one coach, which
was hurled from the track, and both
end8 of it were crushed in by im
pact against the otherB. Two of the
2 2 members of the company were
Injured. Miss Roberts escaped un
hurt. The escape from death of the oc
cupants of this car was remarkable,
considering the manner in which the
coach was splintered and torn to
pieces. The men and .omen were
hurled from one end of the car to
the other.
There were three tracks where the
accident occurred, which is in the
open country. The people of Colton

Famous "Silent Jim" Smith Ulcd on
Honeymoon.
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

co, however, do not consider this a

END OF THE WAR IS IN SI3HT.
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). The
army of Salvador is concentrated on
the frontier in complete order, with
all the necessary war munitions. It
Is stated here, In spite of reports to
the contrary, the troops of Snlvador
have been victorious lu all their en
counters with the Nicaraguans.
The censorship here Is severe.
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.
DOG SAVES BOY'S LIFE.
Drags His Young Master From Death
Vnder TroIey Cur.
Cincinnati, Ohio (Special). A
large shepherd dog saved the life of
Bernard Lange. aged eight, who was
struck by a Glendale street car in
front of his home on the Springfield

all and pulled htm from the tracks.
The fender, however, struck the
boy on the hack of the head, and
he received slight Injuries.
The car was coming nt top speed,
but the lnd, who was playfully toss
ing stones at his pet, did not per
ceive the dangor. Motorman Bar
rows, who was in charge of the car,
set the brakes in a frenzied effort
to check the tpeed of the car, hut It
had gained such headway that it
could not be stopped In time. At
the risk of being ground to death
under the car wheels, the animal
clung to its young master and man
aged to drug him to the side of the
rails just as the car dashed by.
Bomb Burled At Admiral.
