THE RICHMOND PLANET THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK J. THOS. NEWSOME, General Attorney SHOT TO DEATH. THE REV. DR. EDWARDS INSTANTLY KILLED. Was Well-Known Here: Denver, Col., Aug. 21, 1911. Mrs. Alexander Edwards is a strict believer in the Biblical injunction. "Confess your faults one to another and pray one another that ye may be healed." So when she began to suspect that her husband, the Rev Alexander Edwards, pastor of Central Baptist Church (colored), was intimate with various "sisters" of the congregation she confirmed her suspicions by the aid of a detective agency and then insisted that the man make his confession. Edwards confessed to J. J. Manuel, one of his stock, that he had been intimate with Mrs. Manuel and Manuel brought him close with a bullet. Now the pronomer is dead and his slayer is in the city jail on a charge of murder. It all happened last night, and the pretty white church at Twenty-fourth and California is without a pastor. It is also minus its senior Sunday-school teacher, for the man charged with murder hold that position. Manuel has been a leading mem- J. THOS. NEWSOM ser of the flock ever since the church was started. He taught the older Sunday-school students and his wife had the very small children. They have no children of their own, but gave much of their time to looking after others. The Rev. Mr. Edwards appreciated their efforts, particularly those of Mrs. Manuel, and he began calling at their home at 4238 Decatur street to express that appreciation. He happened to select the times when Mrs. Manuel was there and that is how the trouble started. Edwards was somewhere around 60 years of age, and Mrs. Manuel about 25 years his junior. His wife, too, was younger than his oldest children. A while ago Mrs. Edwards began to hear things that reflected on the idolity of her preacher husband. She wanted to make sure before she required a confession of him, so she hired detectives. They blamed Mrs. Manual for the preacher's absences from home, and yesterday afternoon Mrs. Edwards read to the Rev. Alexander Edwards what St. James had to say about confession. He admitted everything. She led him reluctantly to the Manuel home, that he might confess to the wronged man. Manuel returned from his work as caretaker for the Park Land Company and found his wife with Mr. and Mrs. Edwards. He Edwards told quolls the purpose of the visit, ending with, "My parents to confess to you, that he may be hailed." (Continued quote Number) 10 W. Leigh St., Richmond, Vn. Sept. 5, 1811. Editor John Mitchell, Jr. City: Dear Sir,—I read in the columns of The Richmond Planet (first page), under date of Sept. 2, 1911, a statement relative to my thesis for the publication of the same: It is not true, and I would be very much obliged to you if you will give me the name of the person who authorized you to make such a publication. I have never desired newspaper notoriously and please don't make any further publication relative to me unless the same be over my signature. We presume Mrs. A. W. Holmes referred to the statement in our last issue that she offered to take the leadership of one of the clubs to raise money to help liquidate the indebtedness of the Order. Our informant was one of the present officials of the Grand Fountain. As the statement is unimportant, we content ourselves with a denial of its correctness, based upon the positive assertion of Mrs. A. W. Holmes, who knows best what she intends to do, and who accordingly with reference to such a personal matter is "the court of last resort."—Editor.

True Reformers Reduce Expenses Twenty-Seven Thousand Dollars Per Year.-New Officers Ask for Time. ```markdown ``` The new management of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers is about as hopeful a lot of officials as have been seen in this city for a long time. Around there on Second street the look of dejection has been in evidence for so long a time is gone. The cause of this condition of affairs is due to the fact that the Bureau of Insurance of this State seems determined to give the present officials a fair trial and to see if they can improve upon existing conditions. It is also evident, too, that the large attendance at the recent session of the Grand Fountain has given additional cause for hope. CREDITORS ARE PATIENT. The creditors are holding off so to speak, realizing that to attempt to force payments, at this time would cause a collapse of the whole superstructure, with the result that no one would get any money upon any of the chima. A campaign is being inaugurated in various sections of the country, and the North Carolina problem is being subjected to treatment. There is a general demand for Grand Worthy Master W R Griffin, and it is evident that that "angel" face and that pleading convolving voice will be in evidence in many parts of the country Mr Griffin is now where those whom he has criticized have been HEAVY REDUCTION IN EXPENSES He must carry out the promises made and he has certainly started about doing it, it is announced by him and his associates that the expenses of the Gramel Fountain have been reduced to the amount of $2,250 00 per month, or $27,000 00 per year. The payment of death claims will begin shortly. Pledges from all states to pay the money is steadily increasing Grand Worthy Master W. R. Griffin spoke at Newport News, Va., last Thursday night, and at Washington, D. C., last night. He will speak at Roanoke next Monday night, and at Lynchburg next Tuesday night.

Browne The management declares that but a short time will be needed to demonstrate the capabilities of those in charge The suits against those deemed responsible for the loss of much money to the Order have not as yet been instituted It begins to look that a special fund will be required for this purpose in order to secure the proper legal as sletance in this matter.

New Orleans, La., Aug 21, 1911 Hohn Mittleman, Jr, Editor The White House My Dear Sir,—I inclose a clipping from the New Orleans Daily States, that have had, and now has as its landmark, the artificial and "much a-do about nothing" idea of "training all colored people to suit their own whims. That servitude was the best thing for the colored man and what has been left of its barbarous and incideous dealings and incriminations must be taught to them by every method conceivable to Southern journalism, and that class that has charge of the machinery of government. If the State Board of Education of Virginia has adopted that, as a textbook on history for colored pupils, and such volume or pamphlet contains what the press reports it has, I think it is the most contemptible piece of treachery, moral cowardice—and the simple admission that the Southern white man was right and his present contents are right also. In innoculating the virus of servility and every conceivable method that imparts the doctrine of non-resistance to the colored man with the idea that he is a mere thing" doomed to despair and almost isolation and extinction somewhat of an automaton, instinct vs reason. In all of his relationship that has to do with American civilization he should be taught the doctrine equally—or in the future all will be done. There ought to be protests from every colored man of Virginia against that history as a part of the common school curriculum of the State. Virginia's Two Negro Historians. Two colored men--Giles B Juck A. HUMBLES, Member son, a lawyer, and D. Webster Davis, a school teacher both of Virginia, have written an "Industrial History of the Negro Race in the United States." The authors are inclined to the Southern view of the causes of the Civil War of fifty years ago, write hopefully of the progress of their race and declare that "the honest, self-respecting Industrious and frugal negro can always find a white hand in our Southland stretched out to help him to higher and better things." The following is a passage taken from the work of the two historians: "There must have been refolio among the angels as they watched the order of creation. When God made the world they took down their harps from the willows; when He created man to rule and control the world, they tuned the strings, but when he made woman and brought her forth in her pristine loveliness, to be the helper and companion of man, the angels struck their harps, because they felt that God Himself would do no better work. Let us pause to pay a tribute to the old mistress on a Southern plantation, who, at all times, day and night; was willing to listen to the cry and administer to the wants of the negroes on the Southern plantations, and to such as she heaven awards its brightest crown." It is said that the Virginia State Board of Education has recommended the adoption of the work an a text book in the negro public schools of that State. ANNUAL INSTALLATION OF S. G. OFFICERS.

Desperate Effort to Save Prisoner from Electric Chair. --- THAT I Many NADNOR AND SCHERER ON ALL AFTERNOON Following hard on the heels of a morning from which the defense would take little comfort the afternoon session of the Battletrial gave even less the day ending with practically no material point which the defense may claim while the prosecution has put in some body blows that cannot fail to tell on the jury. Criticized somewhat for talking too freely, officers of the Commonwealth asserted before the trial that they had given out such evidence as the newspapers might secure for themselves, or had already secured but that there was other testimony in reserve. The statement was made good in part yesterday when several material points were scored not hunted at at the inquest and not hitherto published. And still the State has not reached its big guns. Not only are Paul Beattie and Reedall Hinford to come but the rumor has developed into a certainty that the State has a witness whose evidence alone will be almost conclusive, and who will be reahead in due course. EXPECTS TO CLINCH EVIDENCE By this witness the State expects to show the case to the jury almost as plainly and directly as though there had been an eyewitness or a direct confession. The defense keeps its counsel depressant the report of valuable new evidence and promises some better things in the cross-examination of further witnesses. The defense points to the fact that Special Agent Schone, who was on the stand in direct evidence for two hours and a half yesterday afternoon has not yet been cross-examined but the best friends of Henry Beattie admit that comparatively in the was gained yesterday in the cross-examination of the parts of boys returning from Bon Air One after another they told their story candidly and it here on its fact every mark of truth. Several hours on the close-study courtroom were followed by a visit by the jury to the motor car which was brought into the court house yard. Roland Lassiter one of the morning witnesses, he who had driven from Ron Mt to Rt Brno in twenty-five minutes, went with Sheffield Gill to Mr Cochibilla house and brought the car to the square EXAMINED BLOODY CAR The jury Judge and attorneys gathered about while the officers strove in vain to keep the crowd back. Henry Beattie was the most interested of the spectators standing beside his father and Jatler Coghill. By agreement of counsel the attorneys offered no suggestions or arguments out on the lawn but the jarymen silently examined every part of the car. When question arose from those jarymen unfamiliar with this type of car as to how to face the floor. Henry Beattie stepped forward and assisted Judge Watson saw that a practical automobile man was wanted and summoned a chauffeur waiting in front of the courthouse for a party of newspaper men. Without being sworn as a witness, the chauffeur was instructed to demonstrate to the jury the workings of any part of the car the members of the jury designed to see Members of the jury gazed at the still visible blood stains, took out the cushions and felt the dried blood in the driver's seat, some even wrigled themselves underneath the car in corroboration of evidence already given by Detective Sergeant Wiltshire that no blood leaked through to the ground BUSY DIRING RECESS When the silent inspection of the jurymen had been completed the session was resumed and after consulting counsel on both sides, it was ordered that in view of the fact that the prisoner, the judge and the four attorneys had been present with the court officers and jury, the examination should be treated in the record as a continuous session of court the car having been viewed without the four walls of the courthouse because of the manifest difficulty of introducing it in evidence within that crowded and limited space. The dinner recess followed the insuction. On the testimony of a half-dozen well-known Richmond boys the defense had lost ground in the morning, and all knew it. The dinner recess was a buoy one for the officers engaged in the case. Attorneys were in conference, the defense to mend its fences and prevent further loss, and the prosecution to press its evident advantage. There was work to be done. Even the waiting crowd caught the idea that something was developing and packed the courthouse again long before Judge Watson returned to the bench HARD BLOW FOR DEFENSE W. B. Sydnor, one of the party of boys who had attended the Bon Air dance, and who had testified at length during the morning, was recalled. "Did you see the machine that was exhibited out on the lawn just before the dinner recent?" he was asked by Mr. Wendenburg. Yes, sir. Is that the same car that you saw standing on the side of the Midtown road on the right of the murder? As near as I can tell, that is the same car. It is identical in its general outlines. What do you can by the general outlines? Well the covering is the same covering as the car I saw both words are colored. The many dots I saw not the didn't have any dots on the back part and this sat shown both today has no trait dots. The car I saw was dark colored and this is dark colored. In your judgment it is the same machine. LIRC-1 SENSATION DAY As newspaper men rallied off betties announcing the partial identification of the Beatle car as having been seen at the scene of the murder within a few minutes of the time it must have occurred. Attorney H. M. Smith Jr. for the defense began a short search cross-examination in which every trick known to a showroom animal lawyer was brought into play to trap the witness or destroy in some measure the force of his testimony. Sydnor held his own and evidently aggrieved at the institutions given by Mr. Smith who repeatedly tried to make it appear that the witness had been coached by Detective Scheer and was telling that which he had been told to tell. Have you seen that machine before today?" asked Mr. Smith. I was not at the impost. I saw it the first day I came to this trial. That was Thursday. I don't know whether I saw it on Friday or not. If you saw the machine on Thursday why did you say when you were on the stand before dinner not what you have just told us? If you have just said the box simply. If you had asked me I would have told you DISCUSSED DURING RECESS Who talked with you during dinner? I was at dinner at the hotel with Mr. Wendenburg. Judge Watton was at the table also Mr. Wendenburg and others. Have you talked with Mr. Wendenburg or shut you were on the stand? Yes. You didn't say anything when on the stand this morning about the doors being off the car? No one asked me. Do you suppose Mr. Wendenburg forgot so important a point us that? He told me he did forget it. When did you first say anything about the doors being off? Mr Scherer asked me about the trip the night after the murder. I described the car to him that night as not having any doors on the rear. I wouldn't swear that I told him or that he told me as to the doors first, but I will swear to the yellow top. As to the doors I won't swear whether he first told me or I first told him, but I will swear that the doors were off when I saw the machine out on the Midtown road." WOILD RAVE FOLD SMITH You seem to know more about this dinner dinner. Well I would have told you before dinner if you had asked me. Who have you talked with about this matter you were on the stand? I talked with Mr Wendenburg and Mr Scherer together I would have talked with you if you had come and asked me as they did. Who else did you mention the matter of the doors to? I mentioned it to Roland Lasstor and to Gwatkin I had mentioned it to them before many a time. I will swear that during the conversation the point came up and I said the doors were off." "Will you swear that in your first statement you mentioned that the doors were off." MENTIONED IT LONG AGO Yes, sir I did I was talking with Mr Scherer and either he raised the point or I did I don't know which one mentioned it first." "When was that?" "The night following the murder. Mr Scherer picked me up in a car as I was on my way to the theatre and took me to his house. Several boys were there Sam Cottrell, Roland Laslater, Jim Gwatkin and Foster Witt. If I remember perhaps others." "When you were on the stand this morning, had you forgotten about going to Mr Scherer's house?" "Did you ask me? responded the witness with apitit. "Well, I asked you about how many times you went to his office?" "Yes, and, I answered you I would have answered any question you asked." "But you didn't volunteer any information either to Mr. Wendenburg or myself about having gone to Mr Scherer's house." persisted Mr. Smith. "I thought I was put here to answer questions, not to volunteer," was the come back. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. We had only spoken a few words, when two or three reporters campup and we suggested that we all walk down to the point where the murder had been committed After we reached the spot we found a blood spot in the road about 2x14 inches showing a good deal of blood *Wiltshire* and others had arrived, and we asked Henry Beatte to place the car just as it stood when the attack was made. The car was up the road toward Midlothian, and I motioned for some one to bring it down which was done. Mr Beatte then placed or directed the placing of the car on the left-hand side of the blood spot with the front sent about opposite the spot. Henry Beatte had then smiled that the man attacked him was in the car making it necessary for him to have applied to keep from running over him, and he had also stated that the man shot from the front of the car. "During the conversation Mr. Beattie or some one else suggested that some one get into the car. Somebody got into the left seat, and I got out in front of the car at the position the son was supposed to have escaped. I said to Mr. Beattie, 'Don't see you that your wife could not have been shot as she was from this point.' Mr. Bent is agreed with me, and said the man must have been at the left side when the car stopped, about six feet away. This would place the man two feet from the left hand side of the road. About this time we made a close examination of the car noting the blood on the car a spot of blood on the footboard on one side a spot sixteen to eight ten inches long on the floor in front, with a great deal of blood under the cushion of the right hand, or driver's seat, kept in by a sort of rim that holds the cushion in place. There was more blood on the cushion. A towel had at this time been put over the seat as the car had been used in coming to the scene of the crime. We were trying to find how the blood spot had gotten on the road, and raised the planks in the bottom, finding sign whatever of blood having gone through the footboards. The blood was only showing on the top of the boards. On the left hand running board there was some blood very little. My roc collection is that the spot was not more than one and a half or two inches. The only crack in the floor would not admit little blood. My roc admitted little blood had gone through. The crack did not all the way through. I looked under the car and could see no signs of blood. Mr Wiltshire on his back wriggled entirely under the car and examined it for any trace of blood coming through. There was a pan under there. Had the blood gone through the floor of the car it could not have gotten out of the pan. Mr Heattle was with us and agreed that from its appearance no blood had gotten out of the dust pan or been in it. I asked Henry Beattie whether he could give an explanation of how the blood got on the road. He said he could not. You have been quite active in working up this case. Mr Scherer said Mr Wendenburg Did Mr Beattie give you any assistance that would help you to find the murderer of his wife." "He answered our questions but did not offer any assistance or suggestions. I told him at that conversation in Dr Loving's yard that we would be glad to follow any line of inquiry he would suggest." Mr Scherer produced and offered in evidence a certain hairpin, but his testimony in regard to it was not direct. He had received it from Taylor Robertson, who will be called later to testify where he got it. The prosecution will attempt to show that it is of a color to match Mrs. Beattie's hair, and that it was found near the scene of the crime, but so far only the hairpin itself is in evidence. "Were you present on Friday at the corner's Inquest?" "Were you present when Beulah Binford was on the stand as a witness?" "I was." "State whether or not a letter was handed to Beulah Binford while on the stand as a witness and whether or not, when she was asked about it, the accused, who was sitting to one side, not on the stand, said it was a letter from him." Mr. Carlier was prompt with objection to questioning as to what occurred at the coroner's inquest. He was overruled, since the question was not as to what a witness said on the stand, but as to the remark of Henry Seattle, then a bystander. "My recollection," answered Mr. Scherer, "is that,英寸.英寸 was asked the question whether she had gotten this letter, and then asked who from. During that审读ation Mr. Beach admitted that the latter ANSWERS WITH FEELING Well now will you state under path that in a signed statement you gave Mr Scherer you said the doors were of" I have never given a signed statement Have you given any statement? I have a statement at Mr Scherer's office I don't know whether it was taken down on a typewriter or not Was that the only statement you have given? I don't know what you mean by statement I have told Mr Scherer two what I knew once at his residence and once at his office Why two statements? He asked me for them." Then you gave him a third one at dinner time? Yes, if you call talking with him about what I saw a statement I talked with him at dinner time. You can call it a statement if you house. Mr. Smith thought over the matter for a half hour longer but beyond the fact that Mr. Sydner had at times gone to Mr. Scherer a while on curands in connection with freight claims for his employee Little was brought out Sydner sticking to his statement and asserting with an injured air that he would have told Mr. Smith as much at any time had be asked for the information SCHERER CALLED TO STAND Lithert L. Scherer general claim agent of the Chessapeake and Ohio Railway system and head of the secret service force of that company occupied the witness chair for the remainder of the afternoon, taking more than two hours in his exaltation direct. When he was turned over to Messrs Smith and Carter for cross-examination the hour of adjournment had nearly been reached, and Mr Carter urged that time would actually be saved by the adjournment until Monday morning. He indicated that the cross-examination of Mr Scherer would necessarily be prolonged and that time would be saved by having written out the stenogramble test record of his evidence in chief Mr Scherer stated that he had been tailed on the telephone about 1:30 o'clock on the night of the murder by Ben P Owen uncle of the murdered woman who assisted his aid in securing bloodbounds from the State Penitentiary farm Mr Scherer is a member of the penitentiary board and by means of the train dispatcher a officer of the Chessapeake and Ohio Railway he secured an engine and caboose from a freight train which brought the dogs and their keepers from the State farm to the Main Street Station, arriving there at 5 15 A M Mr Scherer and the dogs at the station with Major James D Patton president of the penitentiary board and John B Alson. The dogs were taken in a motor car to the Owen home and from there to the 5:30 o'clock arriving before 5:30 o'clock Mr. Carter objected to any eviction or work of the dogs and was shuffled. SAW TRACKS IN DITCH Hon Owen joined us, the winters proceeded, and we drove the car to within twenty-five feet of the pool of blood in the road. We were first stopped by officers about 200 yards away and could see other of fields above the blood spot guard, and present trampolining until the dogs arrived. "What did you see at the scene of the crime?" I noticed on the right hand side of the road tracks very plain, and only made a few hours before. The track was not visible on the road, which was of hard gravel, but led off from the right hand side not in a direct way, but crosswise. They were trucks of a person stepping in one side of the ditch in soft sand. There were two or three tracks. I think three leading to a stump on the right hand side of the road about forty feet from the blood spot. This stump was somewhat toward Richmond from the blood spot. I noticed later that there were no tracks across the fence at this spot, but found tracks coming back toward the road a short distance from the tracks leading toward the stump. I had been there only a short while when some one came up with the gun a single barreled gun which had an empty paper shell still in it. BEATTIE IDENTIFIED GUN "The gun was identified by Henry Boattie Jr., as the gun which did the killing. We showed it to him, and I am not positive whether he said it was the gun used in killing his wife or that it was the gun which he thought had been used in killing his wife. "We took the gun that morning to a number of different points to see if it could be identified Officers went to every house in the neighborhood where there was reported to be a single barreled shotgun and requested every one to account for his kill." "Later in the morning Henry Boattie came up to the spot, and I discussed the case with him and asked, him to give me as nearly as possible all the facts connected with the shooting. Later I had a conversation with Ren Owen, and he and I crossed the road to where Henry Boattie was standing near the gate. FOUND BIG BLOOD SPOT. BEATTIE MGREED WITH HIM. NONE UNDER CAR. HOW BEATTIE HELPED DEFENSE OBJECTS was from him and that he had written it. The envelope was postmarked July 14, 1911, and dated Richmond, Va., Manchester Station." Mr. Smith protested that there was no admission on the part of Henry Beattie that he had written the envelope Mr. Wendenburg offered to leave it to the jury to decide whether the same man who wrote the letter did not address the envelope, but was ruled out. "Was there any question," asked Mr. Wendenburg, "but that both the envelope and letter were handed to Beulah Binford?" "There was not" answered Mr. Scherer ADMITTED BY BEATTLE "When this letter and envelope were handed to Beulah Binford they were not read?" "They were" "Was she asked whether they were written by Beutle?" "Yes" "What did Beutle say?" He said it was " "It is singular" commented Mr Smith "He evidently did not include the envelope." It will be singular indeed if you get by with such a point as that commented Mr Wendenburg "When Mr Wendenburg ended the direct examination of Mr Scherer after a statement occupying more than two hours Mr Carter asked an adjournment to Monday morning, on the ground that a cross-examination would necessarily take some time and go over much ground, and that time could be saved by waiting for the stenographer to transcribe the notes so that superfluous questions might be avoided. Watson consulted the jury saying that it lacked a half hour of the usual time for adjournment. The jury was quite willing to get out of the hot court room, and the adjournment was ordered, with Mr Scherer still on the stand when court resumes on Monday. Mr Smith then asked that since Sunday intervened before another session of court the prisoner he taken to Richmond so that he might confer with his counsel Much of Scherer's testimony he explained had to do with long conversations with the prisoner news desired to take the stenographer's record and go over it with Beatte before the gross examination. DEFENSE FAILS TO STEM TIDE ON THIRD DAY (By Joseph F Gelsinger) Around Henry Bentle the Commonwealth is drawing its not relentlessly. While the prisoner smiled and sneered within the bar and counsel desperately fought and failed to stem the tide, the case moved on through another day. The hours dragged somewhat, and yet were full enough. If no new links appeared in the chain, certainly those forged already were ribbed and rolled strong as steel, unbreakably it would seem. With a police and confidence, itself impressive, the State went slowly relinquishing the little the force effectively to gain the big. and did so gain. The defense struggled gamely as it will do, on to the end, yielding nothing. It could not hope as yet to gain, but simply not to lose, but did so lose. Perhaps by some harcaneal move it may breast the wave at last. Its side is still untold, and must be heard—and it may prove a different story. But this few now believe. All eyes are on the jury. SENSATION STILL TO COME. No sensation came. Corroborative evidence of the utmost importance further emphasized the two chief features of the preceding day—the appearance of a solitary rider resembling Boatte upon the spine of the crime early in the evening in which the bloody deed was done, and the presence of a couple near the spot a few moments before the murderous shot was fired. Witnesses were strong and clear and ushaken in all essential details. But the mysterious figure behind the curtain, from whom the last convincing word was to come did not appear upon his face. Of his humor, spoke more tentatively, but not with assurance. The state was silent as the grave. Realizing its strength, it risked nothing by showing its hand too soon. It will bring its trump card forth tomorrow, purpaps, and the public will in a half-dosen words, have its sensation. RATS IN THIS CELL. The prisoner's versatility in facial expression · and the emotional gestalt he runs each day dally all real knowledge of his true frame of mind. Impressive and eager, sarcastic and earnest, depressed and whoferlo—he was all of these. One who agent half the day keenly observing him saw in Beattie signs of a broken spirit that solitary self-communication in a dim slant county jail was likely to bring. But after him came, another who read the page otherwise, indifference and stoicism were all he saw. What signified to the one a touch of hysteria and net- yousness seemed to the other only unconcern and grit. There is no use guessing longer. Certainly he sneered openly at some of the evidence, and once or twice laughed outright. His satirical eyes followed from the particular witnesses who lied just completed a particularly damaging list of testimony. In his cell, Beattie roots not happily. Two hours of sleep came to him on Thursday and one hour on the following night. The place is infested with rats, so it is said. According to the story, Beattie awoke suddenly two nights ago to find a mouse clawing at his face. He had seen a rodent squid prancing about the cell some hours before. Of course this will not be allowed to continue. Ordinary humanity demands for the prisoner decency and rest. In his present crisis fighting for future and safety, Beattie should his nerve. In fact give way under such conditions, there could be none to dissect his emotions again. Silence and solitude are加強 enough, but when rats are added any砂晶 yield If the prison has indeed been invaded it has been without "the knowledge of the court and its officers who are uniformly manifesting for both sides, and even for the infiltrators a degree of courtesy and consideration alike charming and rare Judge Watson admitted frankly yesterday that the matter had been called to his attention, and stated that he had directed an investigation to begin at once. Even then the judge had been planning some modest recreations for the prisoner-occasional visits from his relatives an automobile ride in the fresh air now and then and such other attentions to health and comfort as the law permits. He far from any thought of seeing Beetle suffer unnecessarily discomforts Should it prove true that the cell is overrun, the rats will be at once routed and exterminated or else the prisoner promptly removed to another room. SPENDS NIGHT IN RICHMOND A day or two ago in Beetle's mail issue a highly colored post depicting an "automobile scene, and inscribed, 'Oh you joy rider!' It was a cruel and unnecessary stab from some factions and thoughtless unknown. Facing the death chair, generally believed guilty of a hideous crime with the Commonwealth stealthy hammering down his defense, he has enough before him without being hounded in the mails he sniffed wanily and stuffed the car, quickly in his pocket. To the presiding judge yesterday also came a letter. Some rickey-minded individual wrote to the judge, the court his confession that he himself, and not Beetle, committed the crime. After a highly circumstantial and imaginative account, he ends with the final conclusive admission that he wrought the deed upon the night of August 18, one month after Mrs. Beetle was shot Last night the prisoner, after a trip under heavy guard from the courthouse, occupied a cell in the Richmond jail. Apparently he enjoyed the ride, though a storm broke on the way. He was allowed to come inside and help and in order that he might be able to write for a series of important conferences beginning this morning. He goes back to the county tomorrow. INTENSE HEAT AGAIN. Rain and storm had brought no relief from the heat when the third day of the trial began. The early morning broke with glaring skies that predicted badly for the coming hours. The courthouse filled up at once, and the temperature immediately arose to one thousand degrees. Spectators in the rear peeled off their coats and yearned to go even further, but the relief was of short duration. The judge himself patiently enduring, cast an oye on over the shirt-sleeved crowd and reluctantly returned the coats to perspiring backs. One woman was in the newspaper circle. The court remarked upon this fact. "Virginia gentlemen should keep their coats on in the presence of ladies and in the presence of the court," he declared Gorrowfully but promptly the crowd obeyed. Even outside breezes were fow and the lawn itself was no haven of delight. The neighborhood was abroad early, but Richmond, though equally enterprising, won no equal reward. The torrents of the afternoon before had left the roads deep in mud, and bleary-eyed cows and open-mouthed countrymen saw strange sights — and snickered—while sometimes pompous city folk crept miserably by in caravans of crippled, hatling automobiles. The came to mind in the morning, court officers, lawyers, writers and all others traveling long distances having literally to fight their way through marty stretches. A taxicab, carrying some of the Richmond boys who were among the star witnesses of the day, broke down, and sat several of them in the road, delaying their arrival at the courthouse slightly. STATE BENEWS ATTACK. dance were put upon the stand, and though the defense maneuvered in every way possible to break the testimony down, it completely rallied. That it will continue the fight from another angle, perhaps, goes without saying. But the best it could do yesterday was to confuse in some insignificant details two or three boys unsuited to the ways of court. These things, of vast importance, as a glance will show, it could not shake by one jot: That returning from Bon Air the Richmondors, traveling in two automobiles, passed in the road a car apparently disabled. That in front of the car stood a man as if inspecting the hood, while upon the left running board was a woman, also standing. That the car was on the right of the road pointing toward Richmond. That the woman wore a long tunic covering either a raincoat or automobile jacket. That the car was a Buick, corresponding in size and general appearance with the Bentleigh machine. That the car had a khaki-colored or yellowish top, and that the back doors were off That the hour and day were between 10 30 and 11 P. M. of July 18, and the scene the neighborhood of the crime So strong was the testimony here that the prosecution did not put half its witnesses on the stand, holding the others in reserve. There were some variations in the stories touching minor points, but nothing to weaken the ensemble Some of the boys saw more than others There was no precision as to the locality. Those who could testify as to this point at all agreed, however, that it was shortly after the "Whitewashed Store" had been passed Three or four positive and unequivocal assertions were made. W B Sydnor looked at his watch just before he left Bon Air in one of the automobiles and it was then 10 30 o'clock Roland Lassiter distinctly observed that the car was a Buick, and commented on the fact as his party passed it. Several noted the long tan coat worn by the woman Sydnor saw the khaki-colored top and membered that the rear doors were off. UNABLE TO SHAKE THEM At the hands of the defense the last named witness came in for a grilling. For a few moments the assaulted by Mr. Smith seemed to the hey off his feet but he quickly as good as he got. In the mute he held his own. On one all-important point he was firm as a rock "I will swear that the rear doors were off." Time and again the defense came back at him, and time and again Sydnor answered simply but earnestly and effectively. "Yes, I will swear that the rear doors were off." Mr. Smith succeeded in showing that the witness had failed to make this statement before dinner, and that during the recess he had been in conversation with Chifo Detective Scherer. Then he came back to the stand with his identification of the car Sydnor said he had not referred to the matter before because he had not been asked about it. At all events he ended just as he began. "I will swear now and would have sworn at any time that the rear doors were off." A long line of questioning seemed to indicate a purpose of the defense to endeavor to show that the boys were coached by Chief Detective Scherer. Up to this time there is to substantiate this nothing beyond the simile and reasonable fact that witnesses for the Commonwealth conferred with and furnished statements; to the officer chosen to direct the prosecution's search for evidence. The boys are mostly younger sons of well-known Richmond families. ANOTHER STROKE: Following hard on the heels of this came another Commonwealth stroke. On the preceding day, Roland Sydnor, the Chesterhold dairyman, had told his story of meeting near the scene of the murder early in the evening on which the crime was committed a man and an automobile corresponding closely to the description of Beattie and Boostie's car. The State claimed here to show that the prisoner was preparing the ground for the work of three hours later. It had generally been assumed that the dairyman's statement would have to stand on its own bottom unsupported. But now a new witness appeared and the prosecution asserts that he corroborates the testimony of the other. It appears that the Bon Air dance attracted many Richmonders that night. In addition to the party containing Sydnor, Lasater and the others, was another that sat forth from the city about 8:30 P. M. in a taxi cab. In this number was F. D. Macdonald seventeen years old, who took the car on the way to Bon Air the taxi passed a big automobile standing on the left side of the plike. The spot was near the scene of the subsequent murder about 100 yards on this side of about famous whitewashed store. But one person was with the car; many Sydnor saw his man at the store. النمط المطبوع half-hour added to this would bring the time to about 8 P. M. The man had just reached the scene when the dalriness observed him. About 8:30 P. M the taxi left Richmond and also passed an automobile and a man in the road. This must have been somewhere near 9 o'clock. Several other people wore in the cab, and may be called as witnesses. "Did he have anything with him?" asked the prisoner's counsel, very quietly indeed. "Yes; he had a single-barreled shotgun on his shoulder." The courtroom was very still. A newspaper carried a low, shook whistle and dashed off a bulletin. All three Battles within the room perfectly calm, without a chance of face. The defense was showing that Much dispute has arisen over the yellow top Counsel for the defense, as previously stated, openly asserted in court that a large percentage of cars now have yellow tops—an assertion that drew a rebuke from the bench. It is now declared by many that there are but three or four yellow tops in the whole city of Richmond. The prosecution will likely introduce experts to prove this. AUTOMOBILE INSPECTED Suddenly the State called Mrs. Blinford mother of Beulah. The crowd gave a gasp, and settled back for the thorough enjoyment of some new thrill. It was not to be. The prosecution with equal suddenness, altered its plans, and Mrs. Blinford retired temporarily without having said a word. At all events the willing spectators had at last got a good look at her. The Beatle automobile was driven onto the green and the jury leaving the box and followed by the whole courtroom audience, inspected the car thoroughly in the presence of judge counsel and prisoner The crowd was much interested, but observed strict deformity. The jurymen silently went about their work, making no comments, and the court, by agreement of both sides, permitting no suggestions or argument by counsel. The machine splotched with blood stood a mute witness. Several jurymen crawled into the uirt beneath and inspected the bottom. It is important to determine if the blood in the road could have dripped through the machine. The prosecution claims not Cushions were pulled up and the inner mechanism revealed. Henry Beatle looked on much interested. What the jury saw and concluded none but the twelve can say. In the nature of things it must have noticed these A yellow top. Bulck make. Absence of rear doors. Absence of rear doors. Other testimony, less important filled out the day. In the afternoon Chief Detective Scherer took the stand, and entered upon a comprehensive and careful rehearsal of all the facts and circumstances relating to the crime. For the first time the judge identified the accused account. From a legal point of view the statement of the chief detective was of great value to the prosecution. From the popular point of view it contained little that was new. Various conversations between the detective and the accused were recited in detail. Certain conflating statements in Beattie's several accounts of the murder were pointed out by the witness. According to Mr Scherer the accused admitted to him not only his past but his recent relations with Boullah Blinford, saying that he spent several hours with the girl on the night before the shooting. Comment was made by the witness upon Beattie's lack of torns or other evidence of sorrow after his wife had been killed. In great detail the detective then went on to describe the telltale footprints at the stump, describing the search for the murderer, telling the discovery of the gun and generally laying the whole story bare MANY OBJECTIONS There were many spats between counsel. Here, as elsewhere, the defense is objecting and objecting. The bill of exceptions will fill an enormous volume before it is done. Hearray evidence dares not lift its head here. Mr Carter even objects to hearing what the bloodhounds said in such language as they could command. Here is a sample true to the letter. "It appeared to me—" "We object." "It is my opinion—" "From all appearances—" "We object." "It looked like—" "We object. If Your Honor pleases." "It wan—" whatever it really happened to be. Only then did the witness vault the stile The important envelope to the Dear Kid" letter is still excluded from the record. The State's lawyers tried hard again to get it in yesterday, but Mr. Carter was entirely too much for them. They will try some more. The envelope contains the only date upon the misstro—July 14, 1911. four days before the murder. So far as the letter shoots itself is concerned, it has on it nothing to signify when it was penned. HEARING GOES OVER Cross-examination of Mr Scherer was not begun. Here the real test of his story will come, and the defense is preparing for an onslaught. No important did it regard this matter that it asked an adjournment when the direct examination was concluded, in order to have opportunity for an extended conference with the prisoner. By this time storm clouds had drawn up again, and mindful of the experience of the previous afternoon counsel also began to think of the long journey back to Richmond. The court hesitated to waste even an hour. Counsel arose for a discussion and at one moment threatened to exhaust in argument the time they seemed no destructions of saving. Final matter was put to the jury, and the nearest twelve, expressing no preference, the court agreed, and it too, had a few situations up its few mering. But for the dramatic entry of the bearded highwayman upon the scene and an occasional touch of blessed humor that helped, lift the shadows for a moment, the trial of Henry Boattie, alleged wife murderer, dragged through a tame and uneventful sixth day, the Commonwealth finally resting and the defense opening its case. Tarrying a moment to slip off the stage the improbable messenger boy, who strolled in the afternoon before with a story that threatened to upstate the vital features of its whole carefully-balanced case, the State speedily closed, having little else to say until the rebuttal comes. Then the prisoner began his defense, and the trial took a turn into a new lane, revealing for the first time a glimpse of the other side of the picture. Isolated facts of considerable interest on their own account came forth now and then, but the sign event of the day was the definite indication of the line to be pursued by Bountie in his struggle against the heavy odds no less harassed before him. Very plainly, the prisoner's counsel, by their plan of attack, showed a purpose to stick firmly to the original story of the crime and to to a finish from this vantage ground. Not only was this true, but before the defense's return movement was two hours old it had ventured even to produce the highwayman himself, bringing him to view, with shotgun on shoulder, a few miles from the scene of the murder, a few hours before its occurrence, striding steadily toward the fatal spot. In fact, before the evening closed, two highwaymen had appeared, and, unfortunately for the defense, their beards did not match one being gray and the other red. "Did you not say in Mr Baker's presence immediately after the coroner's inquest," naked Mr. Smith of Paul, that you were going to tell something you knew and that you were glad to get oven with Uncle Henry because the oven took your mother, or some other female member of your family, into a room and made her sign away everything she had?" An impasse was reached again it seems. But Wonderburg went right after Baker with a hammer and tongs delivery, and the wiliness did not fare well, though he clung to his story. Baker had said that Paul referred to his "mother or mother-law" as the one whose property had slipped into Uncle Henry's hauds. Then he changed is to "mother and (By Joseph F. 'Gelsinger) HENRY BEATTIE MORE CHEER F11. When Henry Beattie went back to his lonely and cheerless cell last night he seemed in some manner but for spirits. The day had not brought a vast deal of comfort to him, but at all events the other side had ceased its merciless pounding, and he was beginning to hear something in his own favor at last. He took it very calmly. The circles around his eyes were deeper than ever, and his face was still haggard by comparison with its recent complaint cast but the dogged, hunted look that would steal upon him occasionally gave place to a distinctly more hopeful vision of the future it seemed. What it may mean to him in the end, the first stroke for him brought keen gratification to the prisoner in the mere fact of seeing some one willing to stand firmly by his side. At one time he leaped his head on the bar in front of him and laughed convulsively. The county clown was on the stand, and Beattie be it said for him laughed only because he could not do otherwise. Neither could any one else. It is now believed that the trial will conclude by the middle of next week. With the State done and the defense hand more or less clearly shown, there was some opportunity yesterday to get a practical view of the prospect. The defense will probably conclude its testimony by noon tomorrow with the appearance of the proponent himself in the witness chair. The sentral will consume the remainder of the day and the morning of the following. It may be possible to get the instructions by Saturday afternoon. Or by Monday morning at the latest. Then the argument will begin and continue two days. This would carry it up to Wednesday when in all likelihood the jury will enter upon its consideration of the verdict. What the rebuttal will bring forth is impossible to say in this moment. A change had come over the face of things again yesterday and now not certain after all that Hellenic印ford the woman in the case, will ever take the stand. Development alone can decide this positively. The argument will precipitate one of the most brilliant legal battles of late years. In the forefront will stand Smith and Wendonburg with Carter and Gregory able supporting each. It will be a tight worth seeing. MANY HIGHWAYMEN APPEAR The defense with no blair of trumpets, quietly but rather suddenly lied down its trump card soon after the dinner recess. A tottering but sharp-witted old farmer named Henshaw, a Mormon, had just given a rumming account of the discoveries of a stranger in the Midlothian precincta a few days ahead of the crime shaw saw him on three separate occasions—on Wednesday, Friday and Monday preceding the houndle Twice he was sitting by the road and once wandered almostly along. This was within three-quarters of a mile from the spot where the murder was committed. The stranger was a slant-built man, rather tall, weighing about 180 pounds, about fifty years of age and a two-weeks' growth of board on blair face. The beard was gray. Altogether a very queer looking character, the wayfarer appeared to Henshaw to be a harmless lunatic. Promptly after this witness came W. R. Holland, a quarryman springing the one sonation of the day he, too, had a highwayman to describe. Shortly before 6 o'clock of the evening of the tragedy, Holland, working away at his quarry, observed a mysterious individual plodding along the Southern road, heading toward the Belt Line. The man wore a slouch hat, was about five feet eleven inches tall, weighed from 180 to 175 pounds and seemed about thirty-eight years old. He had a growth of board on his face—a sandy beard. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. Somehow it fell rather flat. Unquestionably, the sudden introduction of the personality of the highwayman, supposed by most people to be a creature of circumstance and the imagination, was both startling and impressive. The crowd, however, had been sated with thrills. The usual had become the commonplace, and worn out its own effect. Perhaps at another time the little room could have witnessed another scene aline, that of Monday, when Paul Beattie sat in the chair and talked to the curry, carefully avoiding the glaring eyes of his cousin. But now there was no scene, though without a doubt interest was high for a moment. Presently will more highwaymen came—old affairs having no connection with the present crime, but tending to reveal the existence in the county of a strong prejudice against automobiles. By this means the defense endeavors to establish the animus or motive in some hypothetical unknown. The rude and murderous assault described by Henry Beattie seemed to have no cause for crime except a deep hatred of motr carr and a determination not even to stop aside for them in the road. One remarkable case of a hold-up on a county road about a year ago was recounted yesterday, and two others will probably be cited today. Before it is done Chesterfield will have won a new sort of reputation. The woods seem to be full of highwaymen VA. UNION Offers the Best COLORED IT.

For further information, address the Pre- Com- tiously The seems no ence of rea- tion- but the The point was of great importance. The Commonwealth is contending that blood could not in any way have gotten out of the automobile, and that therefore when Mrs. Beatle was killed she was in the road and not in the car as her husband has stated. By means of, the second spot near the place where Henry Beatle declared he stopped to fix his lights when he was racing home with the body of his dead wife the defense hoped to prove that blood did in fact step through the machine. Do this it and two little boys. But the State takes no chances, with so vital an art. SENBATION FALLA FLAT. From all appearances, the Commonwealth is not disposed to treat the new development seriously. The story was too put. There seems no question of the actual existence of the two individuals. In question-graybeard and redhead—but the prosecution broadly suggests that it is familiar with the hunts and habits of both and will be prepared at the proper moment to show them up in this true guide. Holland who was undoubtedly telling the truth when he said he saw a man with a gun on the Southern Railway stationed that he could identify him. The Commonwealth will probably give him a chance to do so. It is now declared that the presence of this man in the neighborhood was known long ago to the detectives, who made a thorough investigation at the time and now know the name and whereabouts of the supposed highwarmman and who are prepared to produce him on short notice for the inspection of the court and jury. Moreover it is claimed that men with guns are after all not rare objects along the Midlothian pike (itself though men with guns bought by Paul Beutte do not come every day. Remark was made yesterday in court upon the point that this is not the hunting season and that there is no reason why a stranger should go strolling about 'the place with a shotgun. As a matter of fact the woods along the roadside where the murder was committed are excellent for squirrels and rabbits. One man in the crowd boasted of halftrained ten bunnies there as late as last Monday The defense's trump card, it seems does not win. It must try again. PAUL BEATTIE THERE AGAIN One other feature stands out in the dull day the confrontation of Paul Bentle with two men who made statements he fathly contradicted. There was a touch of the dramatic here Paul eyed the witnesses calmly and then as calmly declared that they were not telling the truth the witnesses looked straight at Paul and said they were. The jury will have to decide this unless the Commonwealth, as it claims, is prepared to prove that Paul is right. It had not been expected that the prisoner's cousin would be dragged into the case so soon again. He had been left behind in the Henry flair, and there was something of a hurry when Mr Smith announced that he would be needed. A hurry call was sent to the prison. Fifteen miles away, where Paul, in bed, rolled up in blankets, 'was enjoying a chill and a morning newspaper. A tragic made the trip from fall to courthouse in one hour Paul did not have a merry day, though he seemed chirpy enough. The prisoner fastened his eyes on his cousin as he passed in through the door, but Paul did not look at him. Did you not tell G. W Booth on Mayo's Bridge the day after the homelife that you did not believe Henry had killed his wife,' and that he always spoke affectionately of her?' asked Mr Smith "I did not" "In that Mr Booth?" asked Mr Smith, pointing to a man who had just entered "It is" Paul got up and Booth sat down "Did Paul Boottle tell you on Mayo's Bridge the day after the homicide that he did not believe Henry had killed his wife, and that he always spoke affectionately of her?" asked Mr Smith. "He did" It looked and looks like a hard blow at Paul, but the Commonwealth, though refusing to go into details, asserts that it will have something more to say of this sode later, and that its star witness will come out of it with skirts clear. About an hour later Paul was called again Right behind him walked W F Baker. The two looked at each other "I did not." Baker was anked and answered: "He did."

But prince goeth before the fail not long after this the State attorney had occasion to question the accuracy of a quotation of a witness by counsel of the opposite side. It referred to the size of the much-discussed second "blood" spot in the road.

"I appeal to the record," said Mr Wendenburg "Eighteen inches in diameter" read the stenographer Now, go out and apologize to Mr Billy Baker," laughed Mr Smith. The crowd littered and the court rapped sharply. The judge reminded counsel that if lawyers within the bar indulged in loud laughter he could never hope to preserve order among the more spectators. OTHER EVENTS OF THE DAY Rain and storm came overnight. The county roads filled up with mud and many an automobile rolled into a mire hole and stopped abruptly dropping its protesting passengers in the middle of the woods. Things move swiftly and surprisingly in Chesterfield. But a few hours before stiffling heat hung over the courthouse and dissatisfied beings gaped in the suffocating air yesterday all was changed. The sun had disappeared, and the air was damp and raw and almost chill. If the courthouse store had been blizzing nobody would have complained now. More than this, the to spare at the opening. It was no small matter to get by the sandhars, and the spectators were late. Work horses, with bony humps kicking nightly toiled along and got there at last. By noon the place was filled right up. Few stood on the outside, however. The Commonwealth set out and put once to its task of quelling the most fifteen-year-old boy who held up the whole court on Tuesday and caused something of a sensation by relating the discovery of a second blood spot in the Millothian pike Several Richmond motor cars were stalled, and there was some trouble getting the witnesses to the courthouse. After a time the swing began however, and that Alex was mashed. The little boy certainly believed all he said, but having bloody vision and a Sherlock Holmes turn of mind, he saw more than was really there. The prosecution clearly and conclusively showed by a dozen witnesses, including an uncle of the dead girl, the president of the State Penitentiary Board, the chief detective in charge of the case, the county coroner and several automobile owners, that no such second spot could have been in the road. Nobody had seen any blood except at the scene of the murder. They went specially to find it, but completely failed to do so. If it had been there it would surely not have escaped them, all said. One man declared he had passed two or three small puddles of water in the road. He was absolutely certain that they were not blood. Apparently he believed these were what little Alex had seen.

Her testimony was brief. She inspected the bar- gin found in the road near the县 of the murder and declared it was a kind wound by Lousey Qwen Beat- tle up to the time of her death. The importance of this lay court's in association with other things. The fact that a hairpin similar to a million others in the world was an isolated fact not very impressive. But taken in connection with certain other matters and perhaps the evit of the murderer's hair it was held by the State to be important in that it fended to establish the prosecution's contention that Mrs Beutte was in the road when killed. Later in the day the court definitely excluded this evidence and the hairpin now ceases to figure in the case. At the same time the court directed that nothing concerning the behavior of the blood hounds at the scene of the murder he allowed to get before the jury. "The Commonwealth rests its case." ] The long-awaited words came from the States end of the bar fifteen minutes afternoon Motions touching the admissibility of certain evidence were argued, Judge and counsel retiring. The defense then began. Paul Biegatte taking the stand first as previously described.

Federal at the Post Office at Lichmond, Va. as exchanged matter SATURDAY SEPT 0, 1911 Despite the handicaps and the embarrassments, we will struggle onward. It will be found that "short cuts" to success are in reality short cuts" to failure. The colored folks have been as much interested in the Henry Gray Beatty Jr. case as the white folks. We feel sorry for the colored folks some time to note their struggles to win and the many handicaps to prevent them from so doing. The colored leaders who deceive the colored people are their own worst enemies. They may have temporary success today, but they will have sure defeat tomorrow President Taft has adopted a con- cellatory policy towards the colored brigade, and he has won some of them back to their first love When colored leaders imitate the vices of white politicians within their own fraternal organizations and in addition to disregarding their own laws do anything to win, they cause to merit the respect of the conservative elements of both races, and must be necessarily, "riding for a fall." WISE LEADERSHIP. The National Independent Political League, which met in Boston, Mass., August 28, 1911, has adjourned, and Mr. J. T. Clifford, of Martinsburg, W. Va., was re-elected president. We have read the address to the country with interest, and we regard it, not only as an able and timely production, but one which should be cordially approved and supported by patriotic colored men everywhere, regardless of party affiliations. It tells the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. We do not detect in this address, though, any taint of democracy, so far as that word relates to the present Democratic party. It advocates the support of men and measures, which is an indirect way of saying that if a Republican nominee stands for the principles of the platform and will pledge support for the same, it is incumbent upon the colored voters to support him, and if a Democrat Prohibitionist, Socialist, Populist or the candidate of any other political party occupies this position, cast the support in their direction. This is broad high ground, and it shows a breadth of statesmanship in striking contrast to the utterances of other days. It is evident that the platform of the Democratic party of the nation is not now, and will not be for decades to come, of a kind and character as will Enable the members of the National Independent Political League to stand upon it. It the address to the country is to be taken as a criterion. To our minds it will be an interesting and embarrassing question for the management of this political organization to decide which of the presidential candidates it will support during the next campaign. Gauged by its platform its steering committee will be practically between the devil and the deep hague sea. A way out may be found in the determination to support men and not parties measures and not plains. Taken all in all. We are of the opinion that the man at Boston, who had a hand in shaping affairs have probed by a public experience and in drafting their platform is showed remarkable skill and commandable judgment Gauged from any angle we are of the opinion that the race must be necessarily benefited if the members thereof will observe scrupulously and closely with care the instructions given to the shrewd leaders who were in charge of this remarkable institution held in the city of Boston to the plan and to shape a point for the guidance of one of the best to have a rare of people on the face of the globe. . One Miner Dead. Two Rescued. The rescued miners are John Dolan, of the Mine Run and Anthony Tannahill, of the mine. Tebb third man, Peter Tannahill, is buried beneath the tailings, which had imprisoned the miners at the fault of the gang way. Good. He has not been recovered at though the work of removing the loosest coal is being continued and canachs are not used. After embracing their wives and children the rescued men and wannil loses control to their respective homes where other relatives and friends are confined in large numbers to rescue them. The men said they could not be the muffled sounds of the work of the rescuers, which grew more alarm as they approach near and nearer to the small place in which they are imprisoned. The two kept up constant commput- ation by taping upon the solid walls of cool and open the rails of the car track on the bottom of the gaugeway to encourage the rescuers. They know not of the missing companion Parker Zemer like no doubt was killed at a crime, but the first fall of top coal. Not a moment was wasted since the rescuers opened up their heroic blast. Tug Sinks Boat. Three Drown. Three men were drowned and five narrowly escaped death when a motor boat filled with pleasurable-seekers collided with a tugboat on the Dolaware river, near Fluence, N J The victims were married men, with families. They were George Ledger, Charles Test and George Bentz, of Roeblings, N J The boat, which was the property of one of the men in the party, was struck by the tug when in the middle of the channel. The men who were drowned jumped when they saw a collusion was inevitable. Those who stuck to the smaller bunt were saved. There were no women aboard the craft. The party was formed of employers of Roeblings's brewery, and supplies had been taken aboard for an all-day outing A tugboat was coming up the river at full speed. The captain of the tug blow a shrimp whistle of warning, signalling the man at the steering wheel of the motorboat to keep, to his starboard, but evidently the signal was misunderstood. Just as the tug approached those on shore saw the little bont turn directly into the path of the larger craft. Hontz, Ledger and Techt jumped into, the water from the rear deck, where they had been sitting. None of the three could swim, and afterounding about in the swift tide a few seconds they all disappeared beneath the surface. Train Kills Elves Gove A Newark & Powerway train, bound from Llandenbark to Newark, Del, ran into a drove of cows a short distance above Newark, killing five. One became wedged under the engine and almost overturned it. Because of a curve John H. Poole, the engineer, could not avoid the accident. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. Shot to Death. (Continued From Page Number) But Edwards spoiled everything just then by saying that he wouldn't have admitted anything except that detectives had found him out and he might had wished Manuel started toward the kitchen and his wife stopped him. He does not say that he was asking for his gun, but implies it. At any rate Edwards can when Manuel left the room. Manuel then took his wife to her mother and required a confession of her there. Mrs Lamh, the mother fused to believe it and Manuel insisted on her going with him to the Edwards home at 2414 California street, to hear from Edwards' own lips that no misstatement had been made. When Edwards repeated his story Manuel shot him. He put three bullets in Edwards' scalp, one in his back and two in the shoulders. Then he walked to police headquarters and gave himself up. Manuel was one of the janitors at the State house during the last Republican administration and is widely acquainted. He has been married eleven years. The only statement that he will make concerning the shooting he wrote on a leaf from his notebook as he sat in his cell this morning it reads. "A dissobate life commonly leads to a desperate death." TRAGEDY ENACTED TUESDAY Ben Edwards Killed By Manuel. (Denver, Col Statesman Sept. 2, 1911) G in tragedy stalked abroad Tuesday night when Rev A E Edwards pastor of Central Baptist Church of this city was killed in his home by James Jerrold Manuel. A revolver was used to the killing and repeated shots were fired all hitting. After the shooting the assistant gave himself in various reasons are being assumed for the shooting. The continuance of the visit and the long residence and wide acquaintance of the assistant make this case one of mutual interest and more than ordinary regret. The pasture of Ben Edwards at Central Church has been a little low over the past year. During that time he has had the support of the membership and the support of a trustful and mutual spirit that was gratified by the trusting members and friends. J. Marcel is one of Denver's oldest officers. He is well known for the prominent part he has played in politics. He is a speaker of considerable ability and has often been lead on the platform during campaigns. He has been a member of central for years and been an observer. At no time has he been a protégé of husty actions, and the snippet is general that he is involved in such a tragedy. He is a resident of North Denver where he owns a home. A STATEMENT OF CORRECTION FROM THE WIFE OF THE REV. W. EDWARDS The various papers have quoted the as having for old a confession from his husband and then forced him to go to the home of J. Marcel. The statement is false. On last Tuesday morning my husband came into the room where I was and said he had heard me tell several people I did not intend to return to Denver and asked if I meant it I told him I did and he asked me the reason. I then told him I could no longer stand his conduct as it was in Denver but if he would leave Denver and do better I would live with him but as everything I said to him and him alone he told the parties he had so prejudiced the people against me I could do no good and I could make no defense without exasiming him, and couldn't afford to do that and stay with him. He said he knew he had done wrong and that his greatest actuation was my poor health as he believed worry had done this and from that morning in Denver or elsewhere he never intended to give me any more trouble. He then said he knew Mrs. Manuel had treated me wrong but he felt that he was the cause for while he had not told her I knew of the matter, he had told her I did not like her about him. He then said 'If you will go with me out there I will make a clean breast of it and the affair shall stop.' I told him I did not care $_{4}$ go, as Mrs. Manuel was a peculiar and disagreeable woman I did not think she was home the first of the week, and holdes as I wanted to finish up at the Molecular College this week. I did not have the time to spare. He home, would I go after school house, and I consented. He called at the Mother College for me and told me he had gone to the home of Mrs. Manuel's mother and she said she was not sure what days Mrs. Manuel was out and likely she find her at home. I have never been to the Manuel home on Decatur street, and as we went across the commons, I said "I could not to have come out here with you alone, or at least without telling someone where I was going, for you might kill me." When we reached the Manuel home no one was there. After waiting some time, Mr. Manuel came and asked us to remain until his wife came. Some one called; Mr. Manuel out to see about a chicken and I told Mr. Edwards we must go, as I would not talk over the matter before him. He said all right and left. We saw Mrs. Manuel over at Fort-fourth avenue and Decatur street, and when Mr. Edwards spoke of the matter, to her, she said, "So you have told your wife this mess, then come and tell Mr. Manuel!" I said, "He didn't have to tell me, for I saw for myself." I think Mrs. Manuel thought Mr. Edwards would deny the matter when he got to Mr. Manuel and I both would be alone in the accusation. Mr. Edwards and I both objected to going, but she insisted. Neither of us had any intention of seeing Mr. Manuel when we wont to the home the first time. It is with regret I make this statement, but, as I am here defenseless and awake, no wrong. I will at least give my slide of the question to the public. Central Church has risen to the emergency in the death of its pastor. At a meeting of the membership Wednesday night it was decided that the church should bear the expense of the funeral and the shipping of the body back to Kentucky where it will be buried. Its officers have had a large part in the funeral arrangements. After a service in this city the remains will be shipped. The shipment will take place Wednesday. Mr. Manupl has engaged the services of lawyer titlion. His friends are many and they are exerting every effort to set forth his shadding with a view to putting him in the most favorable light before the public and the court. Rev. A. E. Edwards, D. D., who was shot and killed recently in Denver, Colorado, was founder and pastor of the New Baptist Church of this city, which is now worshiping at the old Quaker Church building on Clay street. He was an eloquent divine, and had done much missionary service. He was a main of pleasing address FRANCE DEMANDS A FREE HAND BERLIN NERVOUS OVER DELAY Wild Rumors of War Are Being Circulated in the German Provincial Towns. The nervousness over the protracted Franco-German negotiations with regard to Morocco seems to have increased with the resumption at the German foreign office in Berlin of the conversations between the French ambassador, M. Cambon, and the German foreign minister Herr Von Kilderlen-Waechter. Wild rumors are being circulated in the German provincial towns. At Stettin large sums of money have been drawn from the savings banks owing to rumors that war was im pending. The banks are enforcing the rule that notice of the intention of depositors to withdraw funds must be given in advance and the officials have published communications showing the baselessness of the reports. Other rumors, circulating on the Alaskan frontier to the effect that the German ambassador to France, Herr Von Schoen, had been murdered in Paris and the Germans immediately would declare war, were strengthened by the return of a dragoon regiment to Colmar, the capital of Upper Alsace, from the scene of the army mannouvers. An outbreak of dysentery among the troops, however, was the reason for their return to barracks. The French proposals to Germany, according to an apparently Inspired article printed in the Local Anzeger, was submitted in the form of an elaborate draft of a treaty. France, the paper says, is not hagging over the question of territorial compensation if she is given a free hand in Morocco. Germany is willing to grant her full political freedom of action provided France takes over corresponding political obligations including the protection of life and property of German subjects and ends the abnormal status under which the French authorities have sheltered themselves behind the nattice regime when German rights were infringed. No difficulties are apprehended over the question of the employment of colored troops in a future European war, since Morocco probably could not be pacified in many years and troops raised elsewhere in Africa have not proved particularly reliable. Economic arrangements offer the chief difficulty in the way of a settlement Germany, according to the Local Anzeiger must install upon the most minute guarantee for her economic and commercial interests, as the French government, unfortunately under the pressure of concession hunters, has a constant tendency to violate and evade obligations in this respect. General deposit must be opened unrestricted to all nations without taxes, export duties or other devices which would shut out competition. The tone of the article indicates a thorough lack of confidence in France's good faith, unless it is backed up by the most substantial guarantees. The Nord Doutache Allegemolina Zeitung commenting on the general Moroccan situation, says that it expects the Franco-German negotiations will proceed more smoothly than they did before they were interrupted. WEALTH IN COTTON Last Year's Crops Were Sold For $1,030,000,000. "No American cotton crop over sold for as much as the one just marketed, the total value, including the seed, having been $1,030,000,000," according to the report of Colonel Henry G. Hester, secretary of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange. With 1,700,000 bales less than contained in the humper crop of 1908-09, the crop just unmarked netted the south $234,000,000 more. The 13,511,000 bale crop of 1908-07 brought $222,000 less than the season which ended Sept. 1, 1911. Langford'Gutpoints Jeannette. In a ten-round glove contest, which bristled with science and hard hitting, Sam Langford, the Boston tar baby, outpointed Joe Jeannette, of Union Hill, N.J. by a small margin in Madison Square Garden, in New York. Langford's harder punches enabled him to carry on the Honors, such as they were. Harrlett DeWitt Under $500 Ball For Trial. Accused Woman's Father Employs Noted Lawyers to Defend Her—May Lay Bare Many Family Skeletons. Miss Harriet DoWitt, accused of sending slanderous and spirited letters through the malice to people in Easton, Pa., was held by Commissioner Turner in $500) ball for trial in the United States court at Philadelphia, after a hearing which lasted almost all day. When the hearing was begun former Judge W. S. Kirkpatrick, one of the leading lawyers at the Northampton county bar, appeared with Marshall Miller, of Phillipsburg, N. J., for Miss DoWitt. Only three witnesses were heard. They were Rev Elmer E. Snyder, pastor of Christ Lutheran church, who had received many of the anonymous letters, Mrs David White, a neighbor of Miss DoWitt, and Valentine Shouhberger, a mortal inspector. Much time was consumed by Judge Kirkpatrick's cross-examination of the witnesses. Several of the letters which the defendant is accused of having written were produced and identified by the witnesses who received them, but they were not read aloud. Many of the most prominent residents of Easton are awaiting with trepidation the developments in the "Polsoned Pen" case. So far the authorities have jealously guarded the worst of the letters, which it is asserted were sent by Miss Dewitt, who is the daughter of wealthy George BeWitt, and "which have threatened to wreck a score of homes. The great question disturbing many minds in Easton is what will be disclosed. For the "Polsoned Pen" made many a family skeleton dance Next to an alleged similarity between her handwriting and that of the scurpious letters, which have been coming to hundreds of people in the last ten years, the chief evidence against Miss DeWitt is said to be contained in a letter to a member of the flock of Rev Elmer E. Snyder, accusing the pastor's wife of hanging out clothes still soiled, although supposedly fresh from the washubt. It is contended that the back yard of the parapause where the clothes hung can be seen only from a bay window of the DeWitt home. A high board fence hides the back yard from the street. It is admitted that it was this letter which first directed suspicion toward Miss DeWitt. The writer of the anonymous letters bonusted in one of her latest that she had written fully 1500 missives to members of the Evangelical Lutheran church, telling what she described as unpleasant truths not only about the pastor, but about his beautiful young bride of a year. The writer went so far as to suggest that Mrs Snyder had danced in inadequate attire and had been far from conventionally clothed when she swept off the front porch. The chief difficulty in the present case is the absolute lack of motive on Miss DoWitt's part. The only explanation of her animosity toward the minister, if any exists, goes back almost to the time when Mr Snyder, just out of Lafayette college, took charge of the old church ten years ago. At that time, the neighbors any, Miss DeWitt was "as good as engaged" to a young man from Martin's Creek, who was a college and fraternity mate of the young minister When this man came to Eaton he stopped at the parsonage After several such visits he ceased to visit Eaton, and whatever attachment there was between him and Miss DeWitt was broken off. It may be that Miss DeWitt blamed the estrangement on the minister. If so, he declares he was innocent of any desire to come between the couple, although he admits that he never was attracted to Miss DeWitt Joker Found In Publicity Law Primary election expense statements from Senators Martin and Swauson, of Virginia, the first filed under the new publicity law that went into effect on Aug 19, reached the office of Mr. Bennett, the secretary of the senate, in the absence of Mr. Bennett, the office force declined to make them public. Following this declination, a careful examination of the new publicity law resulted in the startling disclosure that in the act, presumed to be most drastic, there is no requirement for publicity of the individual statements filed by candidates for the senate or the house of representatives. The law requires the filing of individual expense statements and pledges of appointments, but it is apparently left to the discretion of the secretary of the senate or the clerk of the house, as the case may be, to decide whether these statements shall be given to the public. The publicity law of 1010 requires that the expenses of campaign committees "shall be a part of a public record" in the office of the clerk of the house, "and shall be open to public inspection." The statements received from Senators Martin and Swanson will be forwarded to Secretary Bennett in New York. What construction he will place upon the new law is not known. It was generally understood during the preparation of the new law, amending the act of 1010, that the amendments were designed to give actual publicity to the individual expenses of candidates for the senate or the house of representatives. Much surprise was expressed when it was realized that the law was entirely silent on the question of making these private expense guidelines public. The law requires that expenditures by committees in the election of representatives shall be a part of the public record of the house. Geldel Guildy in Second Degree. The jury in the case of Paul Geldel, the seventeen-year-old bellboy, charged with the murder of Broker William H, Jackson in the Iroquois hotel in New York on July 26, returned a verdict of murder in the second degree. By the verdict of the jury Geldel escapes the electric chair, but will be sentenced for a long term in either Sing Sing or Auburn prison.

A complaint of an unusual character was filed with the state railroad commission at Harrisburg, Pa., by Thomas Kirk, of Ridgway, against the Pennsylvania Railroad company. On Aug. 8, when he accompanied the dead body of his daughter from Ridgway to Philadelphia his mileage book was not accepted and he was compelled to pay $2½ conta a mile. The railroad people say their regulations are that a person in charge of a body which is received for transportation is known as a "corpse escort" and must pay the regular ticket rate. Aeconlane Hats Next. The science of aviation is to be the chief influence on design for women's headwear the coming winter, according to the National Association of Retail MtMners, in session in Chicago. Like aeroplanes, hats will be based on two distinct designs, monoplanes with single spread of plumes, and biplanes. In display of winter styles such names are found as "Sky Stars," "Noplane Turban" and "Rainbow Spiral," a giddy effect in colors.

WASHINGTON ENGINEER DIES AT THROTTLE; CRASH Friends Say Collision Was Result of Collapse. Railroad men in Erie Pa. declare that the Erie and Pittsburgh express train would not have been wrecked at Dock Junction if Engineer John S. Jones had arrived there a minute earlier. His friends say he was dead before the accident, as he passed at forty miles an hour, with signal set against him. The passenger killed was identified as Joseph Kapanino of Erie The other two dead are Engineer Jones, of Erie, and a tramp who cannot be identified. The bodies were found beneath the locomotive and smoker, the body of the passenger being badly mutilated In addition to the dead, Fireman James Firman, of Erie, is in a sorious condition He was scalded and burned when the crash came. The wrecked passenger train was bound for Erie from Pittsburgh and ran by a block near the crossing, crashing into the Lake Shore freight. Both engines and freight and passenger cars piled up in a mass of twisted steel and iron, while the splintered woodwork soon took fire. It was the later that burned Fireman Firman so badly after he had been scalded beneath his own engine. Besides the injured in the hospitals, more than a score were taken in automobiles to nearby homes, where they were attended by physicians. HITS GOLF BALL FROM TREE Player Tries to Drive Sphere Lodged in Tree Grotch. Perched on the top round of a ladder held by twelve men, R. C. Dunham used a "spoon" to drive a golf ball from the crotch of a tree, where it was lodged, at Elizabeth, N. J. Since he could get no awing, the ball dropped dead and the loss of a stroke prevented him from tieling for not score in the golf match at the Suburban club of Elizabeth. Dunham was playing on the eighteenth hole when he drove the ball from the tee and it sailed gracefully along for about 150 yards. The players and the gallery lost sight of the ball and searched long in the grass before a caddle located it in the tree, thirty feet from the ground. A ladder was procured and Dunham made a valiant effort to play from his precarious position high in the air. A cheer went up when he swung mightily at the ball, but the iron club collided with the tree before the tiny sphere, which fell to the ground from the jar. Dunham's experience is unprecedented in the history of American golf. CHOLEBA KILLS 30.000 Present Year Gives Great Number of Victims to Plague. Since the beginning of the present year the total number of deaths from cholera in Italy has passed the $0,000 mark. Terror and superstition are causing outbreaks of violence among the inhabitants, who consider the authorities responsible for the scourge. Health measures are opposed by the people, who think that the measures have been put into effect for the purpose of spreading the infection, firmly believing that it is the desire of the authorities to kill, through poison, a large number of the population and in that way get rid of the poor.

New York City, Sept. 2, 1911. The most notable address ever delivered in this country against race discrimination and the unjust treatment of the Negro in this country was delivered last Monday evening at the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church at Baltimore by Bishon Alexander Walters, the noted Zion prelate and race champion. In a speech characteristic of the Bishon the lynch law worked in this country was condemned, President Taft was criticized for his apparent acquiescence of these wrongs, and every unjust treatment of the Negro was hit out at by the Bishop. The fearless race champion worked the large and representative audience up to a pitch of great enthusiasm that brought forth cheer after cheer from the audience. The meeting held at the Pennsylvania Avenue Zion Church was called by the citizens of Baltimore to protest against the wrongs cropping out all over the country against the Negro Rev E W Jones, pastor, presided, and after a few musical numbers presented Bishop Walters as the orator of the occasion. The Bishop, who is well known in Baltimore, spoke along the same lines which were the keynotes of his address last week at the national political meeting at Boston Bishop Walters spoke as follows: "The right of the black man to the equal protection of the law of this great country has begun with the department of the Thirteenth Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Federal Constitution. This sacred document guarantees to all American citizen life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and the right to a trial by jury." Continuing, the Bishop said "I am sorry to say that while we have fulfilled our part of the contract, the government has been derelict in performing its duties toward us. We have been denied the right of suffrage in seven of the Southern States him crowed in the railways and trolley lines, denied justice in the courts and burned at the stake all because of our color and previous condition of servitude." Striking out against lynching, Bishop Walters said "Lynch law robinson against the regular operation of machinery of justice. It is opposition in regular counsel authority—a menace to good government, and therefore must be suppressed in order to save the nation from ruin. "If the States are powerless to suppress mob violence, then the Congress of the United States should pass laws to suppress it. The lynching mania is again becoming general and more flandish in its method. For a while there was a cessation in this feeblar business, lately it has broken out afresh, and it looks as if it would undermine our judicial system. "Lynching is a national problem and must be dealt with by the nation in large Striking out at Taft, Bishop said. There is something radically wrong in its government when a President alienates it in powerless to stop the burning alive of human beings, and when Congress tells you that we cannot help you—you must go to the State. There is hardly a morning that lynching is not served to us a breakfast dish. "The main cause of lynching is a low state of civilization on the part of its perpetrators, and a lack of healthy moral sentiment throughout the nation. The burning of Sam Hose, Henry Smith, Walker at Pennsylvania, and Peder Carter, of Oklahoma, and a score of others within the last ten years could not have happened in a country where public sentiment was altogether healthy. Speaking in an optimistic tone, Blashop Walters said: "While the limitations and restrictions placed upon us on account of race and color prejudice are numerous, let us rejoice in the fact that there are many doors open to us. "The important door of the home is open to us, and we may enter and make it as clean, sweet and pure at the home of any other race. At the close of the Civil War the time of our emancipation, we had but few hymns over which we had full control, and so far as legal marriages were concerned, we had but few. Today we have thousands of beautiful homes— homes where right principles are being inculcated in the children, homes where high ideals are set before the youth of our race. The door of the church is also open to us, and we have entered and made amazing advancement in things ecclesiastical and spiritual. The door of the school room is opened to us and we have entered and achieved wonders. The Negro has shown himself to be the equal of any other race in intellectual possibilities. This is evidenced by the high honors taken by Afro-Americans from the wealthiest and most influential institutions of learning in this country. Within the last forty years we have been able to eliminate over fifty per cent. of our illiteracy. We have an army of over 30,000 teachers and more than a million and a half of pupils in our schools. Thousands of our young men and women are learning trades. Bishop Walters paid a glowing tribute to the lawyers, doctors and professional man of the race, and said more business enterprises must be opened. Bishop Walters urged the race, to go into politics. The Bishop made a plea for a new leadership, and said that continual agitation would be an effective means of solving the question. - Closing his address, Bishop Walters salute. The price of our complete liberty is just of all a sacrifice of money sufficient to carry on the campaign. Many courage is needed. We must recognize the fact that while as a gnee we are united of the objects to be obtained, our civil and political rights. We must organize our forces at whatever cost and pain it may require. At the conclusion of the address the Bishop was cheered and vigorously applauded. BISHOP WALTERS. NOT TO CHANGE, REBIDENCE. The press notices going out from Thompson's National News Bureau to the effect that Bishop Watters is to change his Episcopal residence from New York to Washington is denied by the Bishop. Bishop Watters told your correspondent at his residence last week that he was to continue to reside in New York, and would make periodical visits to Washington to supervise the Zion work. The Bishop said that New York was a splendid place for an Episcopal residence. A NEW INTERNATIONAL Y M ' C SECRETARY. David D. Jones, a brilliant young race man and graduate of Wesleyan University, at Middletown, Connecticut, has been added to the international force of the Y. M. C. A. secretaries. Mr. Jones, who was endorsed by such eminent men as Rev Dr W. H. Brooks, Dr W. P. Thirkeld of Howard University, and President Shanklin, of Wesleyan University, is one of the best known young men of the race. His labors have been more or less in the Y M C A field, and he goes to his new field with a wide experience He is a North Carolinian by birth and attended the public schools of his native city and went off to New Orleans University, where he prepared for Wesleyan Mr Jones' work will be confined among the colored students of the colored institutions of the country His headquarters will be at Washington where he will be associated with A W Hunton Mr Jones is a brother of Dr R E Jones, author of The Southwestern Christian advocate CONDITIONS BAD IN PANAMA. Information reaches this bureau that work is progressing on the Panama Canal under very unsanitary and unsatisfactory conditions. The laborers are working under conditions very infurious to health and life, and much complaint is made by the negro laborers of the canal of how they are discriminated against and forced to live under unwholesome conditions. The colored laborers are separated from the whites and unwholesome conditions of the un sanitary part of the lsthmus. As a result of this mode of living, many of the colored men are forced to leave the lsthmus. The colored men are given Joseph wages than the whites and are forced to eat what is left over by the whites. The cost of living is so high in the canal until the men have very little opportunity to save anything. The colored laborers are not allowed to mingle with the whites in the Y M C A, and as a result must seek other means of recreation, which is not as wholesome. These unjust discriminations among the blacks and whites is creating much disturbance, and an effort is being made to bring them before the attention of the Federal government. These conditions were made known by Thomas B. Wilson, a colored American, from Philadelphia, who has just returned from the canal, where he went to work as an officer. Mr Wilson insulted that he offered the lathusin in dialogue when such conditions as named presented themselves. Mr Wilson was a visitor to Allen's National News bureau. Mr Wilson brought along several views, showing the unhealthy location of the negro quarters and the great contrast between the blacks and whites on the lathusin. A cut showing a picture of the Y M C A rooms for the white laborers and pictures of a room for the colored men shows the sarking need of a colored Y M C A on the lathusin. PROMINENT NEWSPAPER MEN IN METROPOLIS Last week the Metropolis was graced by a number of prominent colored newspaper men, who were passing through the city enroute from big race movements which they had been covering. Among them were Sol C Johnson, editor and publisher of the Sakannah Tribune, Emmet J Scott, of Suskeeson, and editor of the Tuskegee Student, and others. China Stewart, the noted negro newspaper man, is heading this way, and will be in the Metropolis soon. Information reached this bureau that at the meeting of the newspaper man at Little Rock much good was accomplished, and many phases of journalism affecting the negro were discussed. T. Frederick Smally, who publishes the Small's Trade Journal, was a visitor to Allen's Nationt News Bureau last week, and was enthusiastic over the session of the newspaper men. GENERAL NEWS ITEMS. Rev. Dr. S. L. Corrothner, the noted Zion churchman and candidate for the bishopric, was a visitor to the Metropolis last week.

A. John Gates Left Second Will. The late John W. Gates left a second will, it was learned in New York city, setting a side in effect the great ten-year trust he had created by the will drawn in 1910 for the joint benefit of his wife and son, Charles G. Gates, embracing practically all of the $40,000,000 in securities that he is said to have owned. The purpose of his former will, as announced by Judge Henry A. Gildersleeve on the day of the funeral, was to protect friends who had gone into his various enterprises with him from embarrassment by the possible casting on the mark of his death of his holdings. No such effort to prevent this is made in the second will, as only $2,000,000 is placed in trust. This trust is for the sole benefit of Charles G. Gates, the son, and is to continue during his lifetime. In addition to this, according to the will made public Saturday, a bequest of $1,000,000 is left outright to him. The widow is named in this later instrument as the residuary legatee after the provisions for the son and a number of smaller special bequests have been carried out, making her probable share, it is said, something over $30,000,000. She has arranged, however, in pursuance of a wish of her husband expressed during his last illness, to turn over to the son a part of her share of the estate sufficiently large to make their portions approximately equal. Fought Duel With Shotguns As the result of a duel fought with shotguns near Pineville, Wyoming county, W. Va., Wyatt Lambert is dead and Joe Mullins has surrendered to the authorities, pleading guilty to the killing of Lambert. Lambert and Mullins were enemies for months, having fallen out over a line fence. When Mullins passed the home of Lambert he carried a shotgun and made an insulting remark to Lambert, ending it up with an invitation to meet him in the woods. Lambert secured his shotgun, and a few minutes later Mrs Lambert heard half a dozen shots. The woman gave little heed to the firing, and it was only when her husband's mule returned home with one ear shot off that she became alarmed. Going down the road, she heard groans and found that her husband was shot and dying. He died before he could be taken home. Names Nearest Go-Respondent. William C. Bowman, manager of F, W. Roebling's fancy poultry farm, "Oaklands," at Trenton Junction, has a suit for divorce in the court of chancery in Trenton, N. J., naming Augustus Werts, a negro chauffeur, as the co-respondent. The "Oaklands," of which Mr. Bowman is the manager, is one of the most noted model poultry farms in the country. The Bowman's were married in Trenton in 1802. Mr. Bowman is recognized all over the country as an expert in poultry raising. Parole Captain of the Blocum. Captain William H. Van Schaick, who was commander of the excursion steamboat General Blocum when it burned in Hell Gate on June 15, 1904, with a loss of a thousand lives, was paroled by the United States govern- ment and returned to his home in New York from Sing Sing prison. It was a surprise to his wife and family, and the captain himself, for the old man was almost overcome. Condensa Life In Flat. "I am convinced that an all-wise God never intended human beings to live in fata," said Edward R. Pritchard, secretary of the Chicago health department, in addressing the Chicago Association of Commerce. "A parent who places a child in a far endanger's its health and robs it of a real home. Some facts may be better than others, but all are bad." Torpedo Boats Were Tossed by Wind Like Toys and Many Buildings Wrecked—Million. Dollars Will Not Cover Loss. Charleston, S. C., is steadily recovering from the disastrous result of the hurricane. A large force of laborers is cleaning the cebris-strewn streets. Train service is approaching the normal. As far as can be acertained eleven human lives were lost in Charleston county and a score or more people injured. The property damage amounts to at least $1,000,000. Shipping has suffered, but it is impossible at this time to fix the loss in dollars. Scores of launches have broken away and efforts are being exerted to catch them. In the low lying sections there is much suffering and the danger of sickness because of the storm effects is said to be great. Heavy rains contributed to the height of the water in the streets and yards caused by the abnormal tide, many lower floors being inundated, with loss to household effects. The Rdd Cross society has volunteered to render any financial assistance that might be needed The telegraph and telephone companies are striving to get their wires into working order. The violence of the storm is indulcated by its play with the torpedo bonts. These form part of the reserve torpedo fleet which is stationed at Charleston, and were strongly fastened to the stall-like wharves of the inner harbor. While they are obsolete in design, it was a revolution to the naval officers to see them picked up by the wind and swept ashore. With a shudder they contemplated the possibility of these little vessels with a human burden on the open sea during such a storm The storm left its imprint on the navy Six torpedo boats were wrenched from their moorings at the Charleston navy yard and tossed to toys high upon the beach by the ninety-mile gale. Many buildings of the navy yard are believed to be wrecked. No estimate of the damage can be made because of the interrupted telegraphic service. It is not believed that any lives were lost at the navy yard. The commandant appealed for $20,000 as an emergency fund with which to make immediate repairs. Though this amount will not by any means cover the loss sustained by the navy, Acting Secretary of the Navy Winthrop authorized an expenditure of $15,000 for the urgent work. The wireless station of the yard is out of commission and the meger official report to the department was sent by telegraph from Summerville, B. O. Roofs and doors are strown about the station and many of the wharves and sea walls have been almost demolished The lighting and power wires are on the ground and the trackage of the yard has been blown away. BOY KILLS ANOTHER FOR GIRL'S LOVE George Bellis, aged fourteen years, was shot and killed by Harvey Osborn, aged fifteen, at Stroodsburg, Pa. The youth then made his escape, and County Detective John M. Decker is scouring the county for him. Both boys were paying attention to a young girl who was staying with the Bellis family. The Osborn boy is reported to have said he would shoot the Bellis boy if, he would tell something the girl is alleged to have said about him (Osborn). The Bellis family live near Henryville. The Bellis boy stood at the top of the stairs and the Osborn boy at the foot of the foot when Osborn pulled the gun and fired upstairs. As soon as he did so he ran Osborn is a son of David Osborn and lives with his grandfather, Dimmick Detalck, whose home is not far away from the scene of the tragedy. Patterson Rejects Commission Plan. After a most exciting campaign, Patterson, N. J., has defeated the Walsh commission plan of municipal government by a vote of 7984 to 4917.

Lieutenant Zolotnebin, a Russian military aviator, fell with his aeroplane while making a flight in St. Petersburg and was killed. While some tourists in Switzerland were crossing the Loetachen glacier, they saw deep down in the clear ice the faces of two dead men. Guldes chipped out with their ice axes the frozen bodies of the two men and brought them to the surface. The bodies are probably those of two London tourists named Bemabesche and Cohn, who disappeared fourteen years ago. Chief Counsel For H. C. Beattie Jr. In Wife Murder Trial. --- LEAPS TO LAKE BUT SAVED BY LOVER Girl Tries Suicide Because Wedding Is Delayed. Angered because her lover, John Philhillan, put off carrying out his intention to marry her, Miss Clara Boyer, aged twenty three years, tried to commit suicide by throwing herself from the high breast of the Upper Tumbling Run lake, a pleasure resort near, Pottsville, Pa., into fifty five feet of water. The attempt at suicide was made in sight of many pluckers. The girl was out walking with her lover and suddenly broke away from him and ran toward the inkl, declaring she would take her life. When his sweetheart made her desperate leap Philhillan was close behind. Losing no time, he jumped in and supported her despite he pleading to let her end her troubles, until Peter Pfeiffer, a fisherman, C. Fred Cauffman and several others, in boats, dragged the couple ashore. A half hour later the couple walked from the water's edge, arm in arm, a complete reconciliation having been effected. It is believed the long-delay wedding will now take place. ST. CROIX JOHNSTONE. Fell Into Lake Michigan and Drowned When Engine Exploded.

Photo by American Press Association Inherits $40,000,000. John W. Gates, who died in Parla left a fortune of between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000. A close friend of the family declared the estate to be worth nearer the latter than the former amount. "This means that Charles G. Gates, only child and heir, will be one of the most powerful of the younger masters of finance in America," added this friend. Expression of regret, not only from his wide circles of acquaintances, but from numberless Parisians, who knew Mr. Gates only as a bold and successful business man, poured in upon the bereaved family. Mrs. Gates and her son are much worn by their long period of anxiety and nursing, and much sympathy for them is expressed. As soon as word of Mr. Gates' death had been cabled to America, messages of condolence commenced to arrive at their hotel from friends and business associates in the United States and elsewhere. The body of Mr. Gates will be placed in a vault, at the International American church, in the Rue de Barril, where it will remain until taken aboard a steamship for removal to the United States. Mother Sneeze Son. A probable fatal shooting occurred in Reading, Pa., when following a $3.50 Recipe Free. For Weak Men. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhoo, falling momory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many power and virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain ordinary envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and I am convinced it is the surreptitious combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my follow man to send them a copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I bellove is t.e. quickest-acting restorative, upbuilding, SPOT TOUCH ING. Remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: DR A. E. B. ROBINSON, $995 tuition fee, Detroit, MI. I will send you a copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope, free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. I would like to know the whereabouts of my mother, Beadie Allen. She went away in 1892 from Oberlan, N. C., two miles from Raleigh, N. C. She was last heard from last October. She was away, she would be away, she has five children am the youngest daughter that is trying to locate her. ONE OF THE LEADING PAINTER All Work Guaranteed. Cards. Lestors or Orders.

At the third shot Semore cried out, "Shoot again." He was hurried to a hospital and the mother, who has been married twice, was placed under arrest. She was not remorseful, and said she shot in self-defense after her son had made a threat to kill her. Five years ago, near the scene of the shooting, Semore killed a colored man, Andrew Anderson, by cutting his throat. He claimed self-defense and was acquitted. Woman in Bloomers Put in Chain Gang Iola, Kan. city officials, except Municipal Judge Smelter, are up in arms because a woman has been sentenced to don bloomers and work on the jail street gang Judge Smeltzer sentenced Mrs. Ella Reese to the gang, and ordered that officials provide her with bloomers. Street Commissioner Glynn refused to have a woman in the chain gang and other officials. say they will not allow her to serve the sentence. The city commissioners, Mayor Boltinger and Mr. Glynn have pored over the statutes trying to find some law invalidating the sentence, but failed. Judge Smeltzer insists that Mrs. Reese must work upon the streets as ordered by him. One of the commissioners has asked that she be made to darn nocks and mend clothing for some of the other prisoners. --- Two Boys Found Dead on Car. William Beakbank, aged fourteen, and Robert Crosby, aged sixteen, of Syracuse, stealing a ride into New York from Syracuse aboard a fast freight train, were found dead on the top of one of the cars that made up the train when the freight pulled into the Grand Central station. Somewhere in the darkness, probably near New Hamburg, where there is a split rock cut about 200 feet long, the train had shot into a tunnel, and the boys, fattened out as they were, on the roof of the car, were jammed against the top and crushed. Their skulls were fractured. Their faces were unrecognizable. Prices of beef are to be raised and New York retail dealers say the advance makes the cost of meat pass the high water mark of last fall Prices have been steadily advancing for two weeks and the wholesalers say another advance is to come. The wholesale price of thirdquarters of beef has jumped from 11 to 14 cents, while pork Johns have gone up from 10 to 13 cents. Wholesalers say the cause of the present advance is the warity of good cattle on the west and south west. Jersey Central Raises Firemen's Pay.
