Washington, Jan. 13.-The Joint reso-

eide for the election Of Senators by di-
rect popular vote brought the Senate to
the verge of an upheaval to-day. which
for the moment threatened TO upset the
reputation Of that body for conservative
and deliberate legislation. For half an
hour it lowered on the border of vol
capic debate. Charges Of undue haste

smother the resolution were exchanged
IN the floor. and a more decisive and
more spectacular conflict was averted
only by the decision of Senator Borah.

further debate until next week. Incl
dentally, however, the sentiment Of the
Senate was foreshadowed TO a certain
extent in the vote on a motion 10 ad-

nose of which was to head off the pos

was supported in his attempt by only
seventeen Senators. while forty-three
voted AGAINST him.
The question arose in the course Of the
consideration of the regular calendar,
after the greater part Of the session had
been devoted 10 routine business. When
the resolution was reached Senator Kean

have prevented immediate consideration.

consented. and the Senate. which had

point of upsetting its traditions and vot-

performed.
Questioned last night the Bin
ford woman is said by the police
to have admitted that she was the
mother of Beattie's dead son, born
July "a, 1909, and that she had
received money from Beattie to
remain away from Richmond. She
returned here three weeks ago
and was seen in Beattie's automo-
bile twice just prior to the tra-
gedy.
Beattie will be confronted by
the woman. Lacking evidence of
murder, the police are endeavor-
ing to trace the ownership of the
shotgun with whicn Mrs. Beattie
was killed.
The shotgun with which Mrs.
Beattie was killed was introduced
as evidence today at the inquest
which was held on the veranda of
the court house because of the
heat.
The bloodstained automobile
was run into the courthouse lawn
and throngs swarmed around it,
paving at the bloody cushion,
while scores of others climbed
nearby trees to gain a better view.
Beattie repeated his previous
story on the stand. He said an at
tempt had been made to inerim-
mate him, because the police
couldn't find anyone else"

RICHMOND, Va, July 21.-
1.-TWO women and a man"-the
old, old story-today was given
here as the solution of the mys-
terious murder of Mrs. Louis
Beattie, jr., who was killed by a
shotgun as she rode with her hus-
band in an automobile. The cor
oner's jury uncovered the skele-
ton in Beattie's closet and Dctec-

the banker.
The detectives went back four
years to find the woman in the
case. They discovered that Beu-
lah Binford, a brunette beauty
and schooldays' sweetheart of
Beattie, was the mother OF Beat
ties first born son, now dead.

Plan More
Auto Roads

The city and county commits
sioners this afternoon went to
to look over the coun-
tvs supply of crushed rock.
Mayor Seymour wants a fine
auto road to South Tacoma, and
thinks the city should pay for it..
There has been much complaint
against this, but If crushed rock
can be secured and the work done
by the city force with city teams
possibly the road will go through.
The mayor also wants a good
road to Point Defiance park so
the auto can get there, and he
thinks this should be built by the
little home owners. If the city
can get crushed rock from the
county much of this sort of
thing can be undertaken.
