President lynch Awards Silver
 Cup To Eagles

Thomas J. Lynch, president of the National League, has arbitrated dis pute in the City League over posses sion of a handsome silver cup, tro- phy offered for the team scoring the greatest number of runs during the season.
 The rival claimants for the trophy were the Eagles and St. Joseph hines. Unable to reach a decision, they agreed to submit the question to President Lynch, through Secretary Stephen F. Boucher of the City League. MT. Boucher received a decision today from the head of National League in favor of the Eagles.
 The Eagles scored 104 runs in 15 games. The St. Josephs scored 99 runs in 16 games. The Eagles, how ever, lost one game of five runs which was ordered played over because of a dispute, leaving their net runs for the year 99, the same as St. Josephs
 President Lynch ruled in favor of the Eagles, on the ground that the Eagles scored the greater number of runs in less games, and were there fore entitled to the shade of doubt occasioned by the unusual condition arising from the five run game that was thrown out.
 The game ordered played over was never played because the Lincolns. with whom the game was to have been played, dropped out of the league before the scheduled game took place

Especial from United Press )

Richmond, Va. Nov, 2+Confessing so the inhuman and brutal murder of his wife, Henry Clay Beattie, IT,, went to his death, in the electric chair, today, without quiver or a sign of weakness, taking his place in the an nals of crime as one of the most as- founding criminals the world has ever known s
 With the calmncss that marked his planning and commission of the crime. Beattie, in his last hours on earth, wrote and signed his confession in the presence of his two spiritual advisers in his cell.
 He admitted that, in cold bloodb he made up his mind that his beautiful wife, who had just borne him son, was in the way of his enjoyment of life as he liked it. He told the min- isters how, during the months pre- drifted back into the tenderloin cir- cles where, previously. he had shone as a bright, particular star.
 He admitted that he had decided life with Beulah Binford or some oth- CT girl was the kind of existence best fitted for his ideas of enjoyment. He did not intend to marry Beulah Bin- ford-that was not the plan of life he had in mind. He wanted the shifting scenes of the freelance.
 Ir, this frame of mind, he deliber- ately planned to murder his wife.
 It was true he induced his cousin Paul to obtain the shotgun with which the deed was committed. Murder was ir his mind and heart that night, last July, when he induced the unsuspect- ing girl-wife to go with him on an automobile trip. He shot her when they reached the place where he thought detection least likely.
 He planned the story of the myster- ious "bearded highwayman" in ad- vance and it was true that he threw the body of the woman across the seat behind him as he sped with the Dfoodstained auto back to the home of her uncle
 His nerve was sufficient, his calm ness was supreme, and his heartless- ness was without equal, but he lacked cunning He had not the genius for invention. His story Of the bearded man was too flimsy and on it the fabric of his crime first began to crumbIe.
 He was not a good actor, for he knew but one part-the part of the sneerer He could not feign the grief that would have marked man whose wife had been murdered. He could not assume the sorrow that normally
 
 reaved. His wife was dead, he cared nothing for the baby left motherless, for he knew it was fatherless, also, as far as any attention from him would be concerned He believed that he was about to be what he thought was free
 All these things he admitted in an astounding confession made to the Rev. J. J. Fix and the Rev. Benjamin Dennis The confession, which was kept secret until shortly before noon, today, was the final crushing blow to the grief-torn, grayhaired father The ministers held it was their duty to show it to him and have his opinion before making it public. Yet, in the franzy of his grief, he saw clearly the duty to society that remained, and said.
 Tt is rigmt that it should be known. It is my wish that it should be made public.''
 Then the ministers arranged meet ing of the newspapermen who had

CIergymen Agree To Serve On The
 Charities Board
Rev. Matthew Judge and Rev.
 MT. Richardson to Succeed Messrs. SOmerS and BehrenS

Final arrangements were made to- day for the appointment during De- cember of the Rev. John MacLaren Richardson, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian church, and Rev. Mat thew Judgea assistant pastor of the Sacred Heart church, to the board of charities for two years from Jan. 1. Mayor Wilson has ascertained that upon the board, and within a. few both clergymen are willing to serve days he will confirm the story pub lished in the Farmer that these are to be the new commissioners.
 Much interest centers upon the new commissioners. for the Republi- can platform and the Republican speakers dealt at length with the Charities department, decls ring that it needed "reconstructiOn.
 The new administration is now se- curing extensive data relative to the cost of running the department for number of years past, and is out lining plans for the cooperation of the Charities beard with the board of contract and supply, which is to comprise members of the board of apportionment.
 z The clergymen- commissioners are to succeed Commissioners James F.
  rens, Republican.
 5 Both were appointed by Mayor Buckingham. Both have rendered excellent service to the city. Com missioner Behrens has spent much time in the work of the charities de- partment, counseiling the officials of the department in many matters, and giving the city the benefit of his ex- cellent business methods in the con duct of the affairs of the departm ent- Commissioner Somers, the vice pres ident of the Birdseye-Somers Co.,, breadth of information that has proved invaluable. He spends much of his time in travel, and since his connection with the charities depart ment he has inspected the charities depar tments, and institutions or 'doz- ems of American cities. Thus he has been able to suggest many improve ments which his associates in the local department were eager to put into practice.
 The departure of Commissioners Behrens and Somers from the Char1- ties department will be a loss to the city. Both have made admiral ble commissioners, and have justified the judgment of Former Mayor Bucklng- ham in his selection. :,
 Political gossip about the city hall today is to the effect that of Alder man Malcolm MacFAyden or the FlrSt district is unable to land Charles II. Beardsley upon the building commis- sion, to succeed W. H. R. DuBois, whose term expires Jan. I: he may accept the place himself.
 T Hon. John J. Phelan, president of the board of apportionment. who is slated to succeed Clifford B. Wilson as coroner. goes out of office as a member of the board Jan. 1. An drew M. Cooper. president of the Rowland Dry Goods Co. is scheduled to succeed MT. Phelan as presid efft of the board. MT. Cooper is already a member of the body.

 Experience.

The business of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is usually with persons charged with cruelty to animals. but it turns out that this not always the case. There was at least one exception last sun day as Humane Officer Canning found out
 IL had been reported to him that there was a farmer living some dis tance from Phoenix who had a crip- pied colt that ought to be killed but the owner would not have it killed. Mir. Canning went out to see about it and he found q curious and unusual state of affairs: unlike any other in his experience.
 The owner of the colt was the owner cry animal was a>pet All were well fed and some of them were super annuated. but the owner was taking care of them because he had become attached to them. That was why he was Keeping this colt which was worse than useless. X less tender hearted man would have disposed of it without having his neighbors complain about it. When Mir. Canning saw how the land lay he did not insist on the death of the colt. but he pointed out to the owner that it's death would be an ad- vantage to the colt as well as to him.
