ONLY NINE DAYS
MORE OF LIFE FOR HIM
By The United Press.

RICHMOND, Nov. 15.-With a heart
of steel and iron nerve. Henry Clay
Beattie. Jr.. impassive author OF the
most brutal and inhuman murder I'm
the history of Virginia, was unshaken
today by the news that the last pos
sihle barrier between him and death
has been removed
With only nine days Of life left to
him, he calmly heard the vigorous
refusal Of Governor Mann to Interfere
in any way In his behalf and urged
those about him not to worry.
IF the switch is near by. | will

how a man should die Beattie re-
Gently told a friend and the guards
about the death cell this afternoon

no sign whatever of weakening.
When the Rev Benjamin Dennis
Beatties's spiritual adviser. arrived at
the penitentiary from the Governors
Office, he found the prisoners sister
I Miss Hazel Beattie. in the death cell
talking 70 her brother. He did not
break the news then, but waited foi
the girl to 20. She left the prison
soon after the minister's arrival. She
appeared so utterly detected and hope
less that il was clear she had sur.
missed the meaning of the ministers

no one else to hear, the minister tolC

BIG PACKERS
AVOID TRIAL
Government Blocked by Quick
Coup Of Lawyers for
Beef BarOnS
CASE TO BE THROWN INTO
U. S. SUPREME COURT
By The United Press.


CHICAGO. Noy. 15.-Just when It
appeared that the wheels of justice
were to receive a grist that for near
ly nine years has avoided contact with
the mill stones, justice, personifed in
Judge c. c. Kohlsaat of the United
States Circuit Court poured sand in
the machinery, stopped the grinding
of the grist-meaning the ten pack
ing house magna,es under indictment
for criminal conspiracy to restrain
trade, leaving the United States Gov
ernment today apparently powerless
to force the milling process save
through another long reconstruction
OF legal machinery.
The climax of one hundred months
of perfectly legal evasion of the law
was reached yesterday Counsel for
the beef barons called up Judge Kohl
saat by telephone; made an appoint
ment in his court room for late this
afternoon; brought nine of the ten
magnates before the bar of justice;
withdrew their bail of 100000 apiece;
sued out a writ of habeas corpus to
free them from confinement; Judge
Kohlsaat granted it forthwith, and set
them for a hearing on the question of
constitutionality OF the Jail sentence
provision of the Sherman law; all this
without notice to the prosecution and
over their frantic protest.
The actual trial of the packing
house coterie, charged with Offenses
punishable by a year in Jail was to
have been begun next Monday. Today
Department Of Justice officials here
admitted that as a final crowning
achievement in the campaign Of de-
lay pursued by tho trust lawyers, one
year might elapse before the de-
PENDANTS could actually be made q
face the testimony which has been
growing since July 1. 1903.

Now Face a Losing Proposition.

Export cattiemen in the Blue Grass
section of Kentucky are facing a
money losing proposition this year,
and thousands of dollars will be drop
ped by those handlers who have here
tofore made good money, says the Mt.
Sterling Gazette. Last year the cattle
men went. wild over the prices paid for
exporters and as result bought heavi-
ly of feeders weighing from 1000 to
LOO pounds and :paid prices ranging
from IA to g cents per pound, figures
without reason or justification. These
cattle were fed heavily throughout the
winter on So per barrel corn an some
even higher in priced. Export cattle
in this market last year brought from
6 to II cents Ger pound. and these
prices. too, when the cattle cost swhen
purchased only from 81 to 43 cents.
Buyers have been in this county with
in the past three weeks looking at the
cattle, some of which have offered for
sale at 6 t. 6a cents. but the buyers
declined to tbuy and are waiting de.
velopments. Should the price of ex-
porters stay at 6 to 64 cents during the
next few months on cattle for June.
July and August delivery the handlers
will lose heavily.

No work seems more simple. more
unlikely to be subject to scientific
study, than the art of carrying pig
iron. This, however. has been sub

study. Men at Bethlehem. Pa, were

about twelve tons a day. Certain pig
