G. A. R. BUSINESS DRY.
Presentation of Reports and Address
of Grand Commander.

Rochester, Aug. 24.-Before the first
business session of the forty-fifth an
nual National Grand Army encamp
ment convened this morning it was pre-
dicted that Judge Harvey NJ. Trimble
of Princeton, H., would be elected
cOramander-in-ch, ef. In fact there was
a report that the supporters of General
John McEiroy, editor of the National
Tribune, had given up the fight and
that their candidate might withdraw.
It was said that President Taft's
statement in his address at last night 5
camp fire to the effect that he was glad
the Grand Army was a nonpartisan
body and no suggestions of outside in
fluence were permitted to have weight
in the selection of its leaders, were re-
garded as a declaration that he was
not in any way interested in the can
didacy of General McElroy-
The election of Past State Commander
Nicholas Day as senior vice cOmman-
der was conceded and the selection of
Los Angeles as the next meeting place
of the encampment seemed assured.
Today's program included the an
nual address of Commander-in-ch chief
Gilman and the presentation of annual
reports.
In his annual address Commander
in-chief Gilman spoke hopefully of Sc
curing an increased pension bill at the
coming session of congress He urged
that the encampment assume the re-
sponsibility of Incorporating. Refer
ring to the vanishing army" he said
that while there were 10491 deaths
among the veterans during the past
year. the G. A. r. would exist as an
organization for 25 years more. Upon
the auxiliary bodies of the G. A r.,
Commander Gilman laid the RESPONSE
bility Of perpetuating Memorial day
when the organization had ceased to
exist and urged that Flag day and
Mothers day be- generally observed.

today and was inquired of touching his
candidacy for congress, and replied:
"I am not candidate for congress.
I have received great many letters
from friends in different parts of this
district, urging me to become a can
didate, and some very kind things have
been said by the neWspa pers upon that
subject, but I can not see my way clear
to become a candidate
''I am not insensible to the great
honors that attach to the position, as
well as the opportunity for usefulness.
II think we are too apt to forget
that public Office is necessity in
municipal government, and that the
increase in the number of public offices
should be discouraged. 1 very much
question whether any man, in congress
or out, can give to the public a valid
excuse for the recent increase in the
membership of the lower house of con-
gress.
Nearly twenty years ago, thought
I wanted to go to congress. but TWEEN
ty years have changed my views. I do
not believe that the life of a congress-
man would suit me, that is, If I have
anything like a clear conception of
what the life of a. congressman is.
Viewing It from the outside. it looks to
me as though the average congress-
man was forced to spend nine-tenths
of his time in protecting his job. If I
knew that during the next ten or
twelve years I could serve the people
in congress and devote my energies to
national legislation, I might get into
the race, but a position that requires
so much time to retain it, and the ex-
penditure of so much effort in re-
pelling the assaults of political aspir-
ants desiring to get it away from one
doesn't appeal to me.
''I am very grateful to my friends in
the district who have urged me to get
into this race. and to the newspa pers
that have said kind things about my
fitness for the position, but I can not
see my way clear to become a candi-

KILLED IN THEIR BEDS.
Father, Mother and Son Murdered and
Home set ON Fire.

Boonville. Ind, Aug. 24.-Richard
Lee, Mrs. Lee and their 17-year-old son,
Clarence, were killed in their beds to-
day and their home set on fire.
William Lee, an elder son, was ar

der The house was found burning
early this morning and when the fire
men reached it they discovered that all
the doors and windows were locked
Breaking them down, the firemen
found the incinerated bodies of Lee,
his wife and younger boy.
Examination of the bodies showed
the skulls of the father and mother
had been caved in with hammer
while they were lying in bed. The L.
year-old boy, it was found, had been
shot.
Robbery. it is believed, was the mo-
tive. 1t is known that the Lees. con-
sisting of the father and mother ard
two children. had sold their small piece
of property in Newburg and divided Up
the money The sum was divided into
four portions.
The mother and father and younger
boy took their money and went back
to their home in Boonville. The older
son. William. who is 21 years old. re-
mained in Newburg and returned to
Boonville after his family had gone to
bed.
William Lee. it is said, ran out OF
the home at the time of the fire fully
dressed and spread the alarm. He
claimed at the time of his arrest that
he was awakened by the blaze and
barely escaped with his life, not hav-
ing had time TO rescue his parents and
brother.
Information also came out that Lee
and his father had quarreled frequent

in an attempt to identify the assassin %
Owen was asked
His description of the man was the
only aid,' replied the witness.
The witness was taken in hand by
the commonwealth attorney TO show
that Beattie refrained from inviting
any members of the Owen family to
ride in the automobile the night of the
murder so he might be alone with his
wife. But the court ruled out questions
along this line and directed a recess o.
an hour for luncheon.
DR.. w. F. Mercer, a physician, who
examined the body on the lawn Of
the owen house, will further estab-
lish the death of the victim. The
prosecution has ready its list of more
than 20 other witnesses most Of
whom will be used in Sketching Beat
ties past life in an effort to build up
a motive for the crime. Beulah Bin
ford, the 17-year-old girl, said to
have come between the prisoner and
his wife, remains in Jail at Richmond
as a material witness. Her testimony
probably will not be introduced until
tomorrow or next day.
Henry C. Beattie, sr., came to the
courthouse today in a public carriage
and visited his son in the jail before
court convened. No relatives of the
murdered woman, except the uncle
called as a witness, appeared. 1t was
announced that Paul Beattie, the pris-
oner's cousin. who swears that he
bought the gun with which the crime
was committed, will be called, but it
is expected he will take the stand be-
fore the Binford girl.
Counsel for the defense have dis
closed only a meager suggestion of
their plans. but they will rely mainly
on an endeavor to break down Paul
Beattie's testimony with emphasis on
the fact that no person saw the crime

How DALLAS, TEXAS, got

In the first place, there was
nothing haphazard about the

they planned to get it. They
raised money by popular sub

this would give opportunity, if there
was a desire to have it done, to have
