ENGLISH COUNTESS A MURDER VICTIM Countess of Cottenham, Riddled With Bullets, Was Found in a Thicket. (National News Association HENLEY, Eng., May 3. Deep myster surrounds the violent death of the Countess of Cottenham, wife of Charles E. P. Kenelme, Earl of Cottenham, whose body was found in a thicket near Goring. She had been shot to death. The case was supposed to be one of murder although the authorities said that the countess might have shot herself. The maiden name of the countess of Cottenham was Lady Rose Nevill, a daughter of the Marquis of Abergavenny. She was married to the Earl of Cottenham in 1899. They had three children. The protracted absence of the Countess from her home, led to a search and the body pierced with a bullet was found in a clump of underbrush in the thicket. There was some delay in calling the authorities into the case when the i police began their inquiry. A theory was advanced that the countess had either been lured to the lonely spot or else in a fit of despondency had repaired to the copse to end her life. There was no evidence of a struggle at the scene of death, but the ground was hard and it was argued that it would require extreme exertion to dig up the turf Members of the family denied there had been any ill feeling recently between the Earl and his wife.

A Modern Church For This a i City is Rev. Haywood's Plan
In about two weeks a number of , Richmond business men will meet with the Rev. H. L. Haywood, pastor of the Universalist church of this city, to discuss plans for financing Mr. Haywood's project of building an "institutional" church somewhere in the center of the city. It is the minister's plan to have the church conform with his idea of the needs of the church of today. "My plans for building such a church in Richmond are too indefinite at the present time to discuss the project in detail," stated Mr. Haywood this morning, "for the question of financing it still remains to be solved, but I will say that I have received en couragement and in about two weeks about thirty business men of this city will meet with me and the matter will be thoroughly discussed." Mr. Haywood explained that the "institutional" church which he plans would be non-sectarian and a novel departure from the established order. "Such a church would be open every day of the week and would be a social center. There would be meeting rooms for women, a smoking room for men, a reading room, a banquet room and a pool and billiard hall." Mr. Hay wood explained. "There would be no revenue from the various departments of the church and it would have to be maintained by popular subscriptions. "I know I am correct In my statement that the Christian church has not advanced with the times. Evengelistic campaigns are 61 no avail for the church does not make an appeal to STATE CONVENTION TO BE HELD HERE Delegates From Many Chapters of Knights of St. John Expected.

" " The state annual convention of the Knights of St. John, a Catholic organization, will be held tomorrow in the new auditorium of the St. Anderw's church on South Fifth street.

The convention will be held from 11 o'clock Sunday morning until noon. An elaborate banquet will be served to ! more than 150 members and delegates of the St. Andrew's church. After the banquet, the session will be resumed and continue until 4 o cloct. Although there will not be an election of officers, several important business matters will be presented before the convention. Officers of the order are elected every two years, the state election having been held last year. Local members believe that a new constitution will be presented. There will be many changes from the present constitution. Important legislation, affecting the order will be presented. After the convention, the delegates will be given an automobile tour of the city and Glen Miller park. The evening will be spent at Beallview park where an outing will be given.

The anarchists evi - dently deemed escape too hazardous

in thickly populated parts and chose a j tioe as well as education. The incenpoint outside. I diaries escaped,
the great masses of the people. In fact
the church of today is grasping for breath and before it becomes an effective force again it will have to be remodeled to meet modern conditions." "I have read where a minister in Cleveland. O.. is to permit young people to dance in his church, the conjsre- ; gation having approved his plan." re marked a newspaper man. "An excellent idea. Young people must have amusements. It is necessary to them as eating. One of their favorite pastime is dancing. Why should the church denounce this form of amusement but offer no substitute for it? Why not recognize it as a pasjtime for young people and encourage them to dance in the best possible surroundings, the church? Mr. Haywood would favor one religious service on Sundays in an "institutional" church, which is the kind of a church advocated by the Universalist denominaUon, such services being held in the mornings. "On Sunday afternoons free moving picture shows, with high class films, could be given," he stated, "and I strongly advocate an endowment for such a church for the purpose of bringing leaders in the various branches of social, economic and political endeavors for Sunday night lectures. "I believe such a church as is being considered for Richmond would make a strong appeal to .all classes that hundreds who do not attend church now would be attracted to it, to their benefit and to the entire community's benefit."

SAYS PEOPLE MUST HAVE DUST ALLAYED City Officials Declare That It Would Require Months to Do Work Under Public Contract. Notwithstanding the fact that at th4 meeting of the board of public works on Thursday. April 24, action was taken by that body whereby arrange ments could be made for having th streets of the city oiled or sprinkled during the summer months, B. A. Kennepohl, president, declared this morning that the board would not advertlt for bids for oiling. "If the people of Richmond want the streets oiled." said Mr. " Kenne. pohL "they should have it don under private contract, as it will take too long through legal processes befors wo could receive bids and award con. tracts for street oiling under public contract. The board of works will treat honestly and fairly any petition for oiling which is brought In. but we will not advertise for bids for oiling at present." Work Necessitated. The action Is explained by city officials, who state that the reason forj the board's refusal to act further in) the matter, after the citizens had been 1 promised means for allaying the dust. the Ume and efpense necessary to ascertain the names of the property' owners was not first considered. They assert that it would take months to! examine the records In the county re-' corder's office and determine the own-'. ershlp of each piece of property and notify the property owners as to a resolution on street oiling. . - .Although the city has not received the amount of money due from taxca. i according to E. G. McMahan. city con troller. It la doubtful If the board of works would have enough money to pay the necessary expense for such sction. He stated that the board already has spent for street Improve- j ments more than the-$19,500 appro-, priated for them and It Is doubtful. , with the close appropriations prepared last year, whether or not ad-' ditional money could be transferred from another fund. Members of the j board state that unless certain lm-' provements are not completed, until 1914, it may be necessary to Issue lm-' provement bonds. Action Was Deferred. One petition has been presented to street, from A street to Fort Wayne avenue. Action on this petltion was deferred. Charles W. Jordan, secretary of th j Commercial Club has several petitions for oiling under private contract. H ' stated that there will be twenty petltions in within a few days, and that ; Charlea Davis, a contractor from Connersville, will be notified to come to this city to start work some time next week. Surprised at Action. "I am surprised at the action of the board of works In refusing to act on this matter after the statements which ; were made at one meeting which I attended. I understood that tn board would pass a resolution ordering ths streets between Fourth and Twentieth streets oiled." On Monday.

It was then decided that any person signing a petition for street oiling would be responsible for the entire square, should any resident of the square refuse to pay the contractor. In the event that In any square no persons willing to stand responsible for their neighbors, could be found, these squares should be oiled under public contract.
