DRINK OF CARBOLIC ACID ENDS LIFE OF YOOIIG CULBERTSOH XVlthont Ascribing Cause of Action Centerville. Man Commits Suicide in Kelly Hotel Room. Robert Culbertson, 45, Centerville, Committed suicide this morning at a room In the Kelly hotel, North E Street Culbertson bad been acting strangely recently but the motive for his self destruction with carbolic acid Is not known by - his mother, Mrs. Martha Culbertson of Centerville, or by his brother, Erastus Culbertson, 109 Seventh street, this city. No Statement was left by the suicide but he wrote his address on a slip of paper before taking the acid. Culbertson for several months was employed by the F. & N. Lawn Mower company of this !ity, quitting about Bix weeks ago, but he Is a barber by (trade. Culbertson Tuesday night left his mother's home in Centerville without bidding her goodbye. For several days previous to his departure he had been very despondent but did not tell his mother what his troubles were. Arrives From North. Early this morning he arrived in Richmond on a G. R. & I. train from the north, presumably from Farmland, where he at one time lived. About 5 o'clock he went to the Kelly hotel and after talking for a time with the colored porter, Fred Johnson, asked if he could get a room. "I'd buy you a drink," he told Jefferson, "but I am nearly broke." He opened his purse and showed that be had 35 cents and a ring in it. Jefferson told him he could be accommodated and Culbertson then went away. He was next Been at the lawn mower factory, about 7 o'clock, where he talked with his brother, Erastus, and another man. He appeared to be in good spirits, they say. After leaving the factory he returned to the Kelly hotel and said he wanted to get a room so he could sleep for about two hours. He was told he could have one and paid his bill in advance, 25 cents. He was taken to the room by Jefferson. As the porter was about to leave Culbertson asked him to lock the door and keep the key until he came to waken him in time to catch the 10 o'clock traction car to Centerville. Suspects Intentions. "I took the key and put it on a hook in the office and I said at the time that the man in room 19 acted like he was going to commit suicide," Jefferson said. Arthur Fields, employed at the hotel, said that later Nettie Roberts, a chambermaid, took the key and went Into Culbertson's room. In a few minutes she came down and told Fields she .could not arouse Culbertson and asked him to see what he could do. "I found Culbertson lying on the bed, fully clothed except for his coat, and I did not think he was dead. I did not detect any ordor of carbolic acid. I tried to rouse him and in doing so turned him over on his back. Then I saw that a part of his right cheek had been badly burned. I then knew he was dead and notified the police," said Fields. A search of the room by the police

revealed the fact that after taking the

aciu Culbertson had placed the small empty bottle on a shelf in a closet.

ASKED TO SECURE 10 DAYS' TRUCE

STIVERS OF LIBERTY

TO OPPOSE PATRICK LYNCH

Charles W. Stivers, editor of the Lib

erty Herald, one of the oldest and

staunchest Republican weeklies of the state, in Thursday's issue in a signed

editorial announces moBt emphatically

that he will not support Patrick J. Lynch, the Newcastle politician who in typically Watsonesque fashion received the Republican nomination for congress after the knife had been run through Judge Comstock and his local supporters, for congress. The loss of the support of so Influential a weekly as the Herald and so able an editor as well as so true an exponent of what were the true Republican principles before the betrayal of that party by such political gangsters as Watson, causes local politicians to relegate Lynch to a badly beaten third in the coming November

election. They are watching with great

interest the race between Finley Gray,

the present incumbent and Democratic nominee, and Elbert Russell, Progres

sive. Local Progressives claim that Sti

vers announcement of opposition to Lynch will result in a big boost in the

Kussell vote in Union county. States Opposition. The editorial which follows a reprinted article from the Palladium in which Lynch denied the commonly accepted belief that he owed his candidacy to having joined with Watson in double crossing Judge Comstock, follows: "The Palladium, whose staff correspondent accompanied Mr. Lynch in his trip to Liberty, has very correctly outlined Mr. Lynch's somewhat vehement denial that he was nominated by Watson's influence and machine. In his talk at the Herald office Mr. Lynch was very emphatic in denying that he owes his nomination to boss Watson. However, many Republicans who are familiar with Watson's methods and who are Informed as to how he put over Mr. Lynch's nomination, and the gross betrayal of Judge Comstock by the Watson-Lynch combination, will not accept the protestations of Lynch that he won the nomination himself and that he was not Watson's choice for the nomination. "The Liberty Herald stated some months since that it would not support Watson or the product of his bossism in making the Congressional nomination. And that statement adhered to as it will be, means that with the writer's knowledge of the manner in which Patrick J. Lynch received his nomination in the recent Cambridge City convention this paper will not support his candidacy. Watsonism is worse than bossism and the two

combined cannot have our support. . C. W. S.'' Elbert Russell, the Progressive candidate for congress In this district, opened his campaign in Union county last night. In an address at Hanna's Creek before a good sized crowd he explained the principles of the Progressive party and its mission In the nation. Mr. Russell was accompanied by County chairman Floyd Fosdick and the other members of the Progressive county organization in Union county, all of whom were surprised and pleased at the cordial reception tendered their congressional candidate. They declared it was simply another manifestation of the growing strength of the new party in their countryMr. Russell speaks at College Corner tonight. Saturday night he will address the voters at Liberty at the court house. His speaking campaign will end in Union county Tuesday night with an addresB at Brownsville.

MISSION jIVES PICHIC Mrs. Candler Takes Children on Outing. Patriotism was unrestrained yesterday when 125 small children from the North End Mission were taken on a picnic trip by Mrs. Candler, who has charge of the mission. - The children were taken In wagons given by citizens for the purpose. The day was spent at Reid's springs, north of the city. Little boys and girls who have had for the past year only the streets and alleys for their playgrounds and the unclean river valley below Riverdale romped through the woods. Balloons were sent up and the children followed them as far as possible. While the wagons were coming and going the children sang patriotic songs in unison. Although many nationalities were represented, "America" was the air chosen by all. Hymns which the children learn in the mission where they attend Sunday school supplemented the singing of the patriotic songs at times.

DOCTOR ORDERS RESINOL FOR BAD RINGWORM New York, March 9, 1914: "A rash formed on my forehead and commenced spreading. It was a ringworm. The itching and burning which I endured for four months before I commenced using Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment were terrible. All my classmates kept away from me in fear that they would catch it. I used every home remedy I could think of, but with no success. My family doctor advised me to use Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment. The moment I applied them I felt a cooling sensation which was lasting the relief was quick. I used two jars of Resinol Ointment, and Resinol Soap and was finally rid of the pest. Today there isn't a single mark to show where I had the disease." (Signed) M. G. Ross, 273 Church St. Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap are also speedily effective for ecsema, pinmples, blackheads, dandruff, sores and many forms of piles. Sold by all druggists.
