HYMNS WERE SUNG
IN MURDER CELL
Mrs. Totten and Mrs. Beebe
Reunited, Talk and Sing
Much of the, Night.

Mrs. Beebe was returned to the
same cell with her daughter, Mrs.
Totten, after the verdict was an
nounced yesterday. The two women
were busy talking over their affairs
until a late hour last night. AT
1890 they were walking back and
forth, sometimes talking, then rails
| ing their voices in religious songs.
Nearer, My God, to Thee" was one
Of the selections.
Mrs. Totten has lost none of her
nonchalence aud belligerency. She
insists on fighting to the last ditch.
If her attorneys motion for new
trial should be denied, she says the
case will be appealed. She believes
that a reversal of the first verdict is
certain. Neither the mother or the
daughter yet know that the Beebe
jury concurred with the first verdict
that Mrs. Totten is guilty of first de-
gree murder.
The attitude of old Mrs. Beebe is
quite different from that of her
daughter. Her experience in the
court room the past week, the sepa-
ration from her daughter, have
given her an opportunity to view the
facts uninfiuenced by the personality
of the vindictive Mrs. Totten. The
result of this separation and of the
verdict of manslaughter has been to
make the old woman realize the
gravity of the situation and possibly
the moral turpitude of her act. AT
any rate she is silent and seems to
suffer great anguish. This mental
condition is fast sucking the vitality
of the 50 year old body.
Noel Totten walked about the
streets all day yesterday in an aim
less sort of way. He smokes un-
ceasingly and seems entirely pre-
occupied so that he does not see
even old acquaintances. Will Tabor
Mrs. Totten's son, Is bearing UP

He will not discuss the trial nor the

Sometimes he talks to members OF

manner and the best of feeling seems
to exist between him and them.
They feel sorry for him and he holds

PAVEMENT FOR
VENATCHEE
AVENUE
Business Men Say Main
Thoroughfare Must Be
Improved.

Wenatchee avenue is a sea o!
mud and at the present time is il
the worst condition it has been fol
several years. 1t shows up poorly
in contract to the newly paved Mis-.
sion street. Since the winter wea.
Their commenced and the main thor
oughfare became SO sloppy business
men have freely talked of the pros
poets of paving for next year. Said
one of the business men:
Il believe without doubt that We
natchee avenue property owners will
decide to pave next year. We will
have to do this for self protection
know that the condition of the av-
enue hurts business and people will
not do business On the avenue on
account of it's poor condition if II
is possible to go elsewhere. / know
further that the condition of the av-
enue is poor advertisement for
the city and outsiders freely comment
on the lack of progress of Wenatchee
by maintaining such poor main
street.
Under the bonding system eX-
tending over a period of ten years
the expense need not be very heavy
on any of the property owners and
| believe that we can get together
on some sort OF system, either of the
same character as that of Mission
street, or some other, and put in a
good street next year.

who was in close touch with the con-
ditions
Yesterday telegram was received
from Chicago that the Oak Park
team would require a guarantee of
500 from Wenatchee if the
Christmas date is arranged. This
was considered possible but is more
than Coach Sievers considers neces-
sary in order to cinch the game.
Denver refused to guarantee a cent,
Butte offered IS per cent of the re-
ceipts with guarantee that Oak
Parks share would be not less than
$500. Fawcett was authorized to
guarantee $500 or rs per cent of
the gross gate receipts.
Yesterday number of the bank
er5 and merchants were approached
and a guarantee of $500 was secur-
ed in a very short time. There is
no question that any kind of a guar
antee within reason can be easily
secured. Even the 81, 500 could be
raised if it were necessary.
The entire business management
of the football team for the balance
of the season has been taken over
by the coach, who will be the res

HARDER TIMES ARE
PREDICTED
Railroad and Big Business
Interests Say Rates Must
Be Increased.

Washington, Dec. THAT the
railroads, which have demanded
freight rate increases which will
amount to s75,O00,0O0 annually, are
in league with big business" inter-
ests to force the rates through, is a
story much in circulation here. The
business interests are opposed TO
regulation such as proposed by
President Taft, an dit is said that
Wall street will join with the rail-
roads in the fight against higher
rates.
The club that is to be held over
the interstate commerce commission
and the country in general is hard
times" Financial depression and
panic. it is predicted. will be the
outcome if the rate increases are not
granted and the business interests
let alone.
This is said ohave been inti-
mated plainly enough TO be Wall
street threat. Big business men and
railroad officials who have been in
Washington during the discussion
of the rate question are said to have
been pessimistic in their views for
the future financial outlook.
Prosperity seems to have lost it's
charm, according to the magnates.
and the way in which they have said
it has bee ntantamount to an ex-
preston of their intention of bring

He promised never to cause his
parents such heartache again.
After returning from supper, it

await a call for the train. Frank
| would not listen even to sitting in
the lobby, so ashamed was he of his
appearance. So they went to the

from home" said the mother.
To this gentle Gliding young De-

morse for the pain he had caused.
He was evidently satisfied with life
on the road, for the first intimation
Of his whereabouts was received
through a friend of the family liv-

wrote week ago requesting that
letter be sent to his home saying
| that he had been located.
| The fellows instructions were TO
forward him the reply in order, 1t
is supposed, that he might judge
whether he would be welcomed home
| if he should go there. Instead of
| doing as he requested. the friend
telegraphed to Mrs. Delaversn, and
the results were as described.
The boy said last night, however.
that he was intending to beat his
way to California and would have
started today. He has a cough and
his bent shoulders and complexion
indicate that his lungs may not be
| in the best condition.

WILL FINANCE
BIG QUINCY
PROJECT
Eastern and European
Houses May Furnish
Money.

Preliminary survey work has been
started on the big irrigation project
in Quincy valley, where it is pro-
posed to put under water approx
mately 100000 acres of land.
Though Backed by the Quincy Val
ley Water Users Association, the
work of survey, necessary to hold
title to the water rights, has been
made possible by the Spokane cham
Der of commerce, which, to date, has
raised $4,000 for the project.
1t is expected that the survey
work, which consists of the locat-
ing of the water line, will be COM
pleted by next spring. At that time
active steps will be taken towards
interesting capital in the project.
Two large investment houses. one
in London and the other in New
York, whose names have not been
disclosed. are interested in the
scheme and have had exhaustive re-
ports made.
To Cost $3O,OOO,OOO.
1t is estimated that the cost of the
project will be approximately $780,
000.00 or sos per acre. The reser-
voir will be established at Lake We
natchee, the level being raised from
1880 to 1000 feet.
Considerable speculation in Quin-
cy valley lands is reported. Offici-
ais of the association state that land
which sold six months ago for $40
can not now be bought for less than
S25 an acre, and that large realty
firms and investors are watching the
progress of the project closely with a
view to buying up large tracts. 1t
is expected that the placing of this
land under water will result in a
price Of from $500 to $500 an acre.

MRS. HENSEL[ MAY
ESCAPE
Neubauer Unable to Identi,
fy Goods as Stolen
from His Store.

Mystery and contradiction hover
around the story about the arrest
of Mrs. Mabel Hensell in Seattle
yesterday. n. |. Neubauer, proprie-
tor of the Wenatchee Department
store, this morning refused to give
any of the facts in his possession to
reporter of the Daily World. He
did go so far as to say that the ac-
count in last nights issue was wrong
In almost every particular, but he
was unwilling to give the correct in
formation which he claimed to pos
sess.
Chief Inscho states that Mr.. Neu-
bauer told him of going to Seattle
and making an unsuccessful attempt
TO legally prove the goods in Mrs.
Hensell's possession as the same
which weie stolen from him a year
ago. He was able to say positively
that a certain sash was part of the
loot taken from his establishment.
When asked if this was the only sash
Of this kind in his stock, he was COM
PEELED to say that there were others
Of just The same kind
To Chief Inscho Mr.. Neubauer
stated that he did not believe il
would be possible to convict Mrs.
Hensell OF stealing his goods. He
doubted, therefore, whether it was
worth while to bring her here for
trial.
Blames Her Husband.
Later information is to the effect
that Mrs. Hensell admitted that the
goods in her possession were stolen
from the Wenatchee Department
store. but that they were given to
her by her husband who was clerk
ing there at the time. Whether this
is the truth or is an attempt on the
woman'S part 10 injUre the man from
whom she is now separated, remains
10 be seen. She gave Sheriff Fer
guson Hensel1's address and an ef-
tort will be made TO locate him and
bring him back TO Wenatchee for
an investigation.
The first report of the amount of
the goods stolen being thousand
dollars worth is now known to be
greatly exaggerated. Only about
$50 worth of linen and silk goods
were found. This is a small amount
compared with what Neubauer says
was stolen from his store.
