TALK OVER INSTRUCTION.
Judge Watson Confers With Attorneys
in the Beattie Case.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 6.-Judge
William A. Watson today conferred
with L. o. Wendenburg and J. M.
Gregory. attorneys, for the prosecu-
tion and H. M. Smith, jr., and Hill
Garter counsel for the defense in the
Beattie trial.
They met for the usual argument in
the absence of the jury to determine
what instructions should be given by
the court tomorrow to the jury as to
the legal construction of various kinds
of evidence. The determination of
fine technica1ities of law and the lay
ing of the legal basis for the argu-
ment of counsel tomorrow were ex-
pected to consume the entire days
conference. Another question how
ever was expected to be settled by
Judge watson, at the conference
namely, whether Beulah Binford and
Paul Beattie, held in Jail since the ar
rest of the accused, should be given
their freedom. Judge Watson has
been anxious not to detain them fur
ther, but the prosecution, it was said,
might urge their detention until the
verdict of the jury is brought in
which is expected to be before the end
of the week.
Wild rumors again were in circula-
tion here that a mem ber of the jury
and the father of the prisoner once
were neighbors and friends, but
whether the prosecution had deemed
them of sufficient Importance to bring
to the attention of Judge Watson had
not been determined early today.
Mrs. J. E. Binford, mother of Beu-
lah, saw Judge Watson and attorn eys
for the prosecution today concerning
the release of her daughter. Judge
Watson declared that unless some
thing unforeseen developed, hk would
issue an order for her release tomor-
row.
The Binford girl received the news
joyously. When asked if she knew
why she had not been allowed to tes-
tify, she guessed that they found out
enough through other Witnesses
Paul Beattie, confined in the same
jail. also expects his release tomor-
row.

CITIES UNDER WATER.
Flooded District in China Extends 500
Miles.

Washington. Sept. 6-The enormity
and horror of the famine situation
confronting China, caused by the over
flow Of the Yang Use Kiang river was
officially reported to the state depart
ment by American Consul General
Wilder and the question of rendering
Red Cross assistance is under consid-
Grafton. AS the amount at the disposal
of the American Red Cross society for
this purpose is infnitesimal when
compared with the proportions of the
necessity. it is possible that an appeal
for additional funds may be issued.
The entire territory between Han
kow and Shanghai. a distance of about
500 miles, has been overflowed, Mr..
Wilder declares. Cities and towns are
under water, many dwellings, being en-
tirely submerged. Because of the scar
city of rice and the destruction of the
fields the cost Of living has risen to
the highest point ever attained. G. D.
Jameson, an American engineer, is now
in China, at the expense of the Amer

War Over Morocco.

Paris, Sept. 6-Advices received

the German imperial chancellor, DR..

his acceptance of Frances proposals,
presented last Monday to the German
foreign minister by the French am

q. settlement of the Moroccan dispute.
The French foreign office, however.
maintains an attitude of reserve re-
garding the progress of the negotia-

though they had common origin at the
French embassy in Berlin, received to-
day by several Paris newspapers also
indicate an early agreeme ent between
France and Germany in the Moroccan
