Mayor Fisher
 Much Pleased
Gratified to Find Massachusetts Court UphOIds Compensation Bill, on the Same Lines as
 His

Middletown, Aug 1-Mayor Fisher returned to Middletown yesterday afternoon breaking his vacation in or der to watch the compensation bill in the House today. He expressed ths greatest pleasure at the opportuneness of the opinion of the supreme coure of Massachusetts on the constitutions ality of the compensation bill Of that State. In an interview the mayor said:
 ..The Massachusetts bill is based upon exactly the same general pr1n- ciples as I adopted for my draft last winter. Members of the judiciary and have followed the discussion closely will recall that I have stood for fhs constitutionality of my draft which is essentially the same as the bill pass ed by the Senate, against the strong protest of Senator Judson, Hous8 Leader Banks, MT. Talcott H. Russell. Mr. Emory, the attorney of the Msnu- facturers' association. and a great many others. Naturally am pleased to have my Judgment unanimously approved by tribunal as high as tns supreme court of Massachusetts. but I am vastly more pleased the opinion of the court removes completely the legal and constitutional objections to the bill the House will consider today.
 '"The chief objections have been against the abrogation of the common law doctrine of assumed risk and against the exclusion of agricultural and domestic laborers from the scops of the act, and these objections have been rested upon provisions which are substantially the same in the constf- tutions of Connecticut, Massachusetts and the United states. Much of these objections the Massachussfts oc1rf took up end Het aside. With the1 technical matters out of the WI = remains to be seen whether the Corr necticut house is or is not willing to follow the Senate in a great deed of justice to industrial employees fD the State. A deed which has non been done by our great industrial neighbor Massachusetts and which has the approval of such high minded and successful Connecticut employers as Senators Barnum and Peck, Col Pope and Howell Cheney"

Beattie SuIIen When Guitar
 Is Taken Away
Jail Authorities Fear He Might Carry Out Threat to Cheat
 the Electric Chair
Especial from United Press )

Richmond. Va, Aug. 1.-The ad- ventures of ''Dick Deadeye' and Nick Carter" today, supplanted the throbbing guitar as the solace and amusement of Henry Clay Beattie, locked up in Richmond jail for the murder of his young wife.
 Aroused by Beattie's reported de- c1aration that he would make away with himself rather than go to the electric chair, the authorities saw danger in the strong, steel wire in- strument strings which the accused man has strummed constantly since his arrest. They ordered the guitar taken away and, today, Beattie sat and thunder pages of a pile of Dime novels" The loss of the instrument, which he selected as the only per sonal possession he desired to have in his captivity, was bitter pill for the accused man and he relapsed in to a sullen humor, declining to talk to his guards and burying himself in his lurid literature.
 The confiscation of Beattie's guitar was the beginning of a closer system of confining the three prisoners, Beattie, his cousin Paul, who bought the gun that did the killing, and Beulah Binford, the IT year old other woman"
 The attorneys for the prosecution have been displeased with what they characterize as the loose care'' of the prisoners. They have arranged to have Beulah Binford and probably Paul Beattie removed to the Rich mond City Jail, leaving the accused husband where he is
 A mysterious whispered conversa- ton between Beulah and a woman who visited her, yesterday, aroused suspicious. The authorities feared that the girl and Beattie might com- municate.
 It is expected that the prisoner will be indicted within the next two weeks and the trial begun. The law yers have discovered that it would be practically impossible to secure a jury in Chesterfield County and a change of venue will probably be ask ed. Both the Beattie family and the family of the dead young wife are prominent in the county and each family has hundreds of relations and thousands of partisans.
