STEAMER TESS MAY HAVE
GONE TO BOTTOM OF SEA

Seattle, Wash, Dec. /. - Wireless
stations in British Columbia have
heard nothing today from the three
steamers which have been waiting at
the entrance of Kyquot sound for the
fog to lift and permit them to enter
the sound and search for the Pacific
steamship Tees, which struck on a
rock in the sound two days ago and
sent out distress signals by wireless
It is supposed the steamship was
sunk, else the wireless apparatus
would not have suspended. 1t is now
supposed that the passengers and the
crew, fifty or more in all, are campeu
on shore, waiting to be rescued.
The Kyquot sound country is almost
uninhabited

THE BEATTIE CASE
CONTENTS OF LETTER WRITTEN
BY BEATTlE RELATES FACTS
IN THE NOTED CASE.


Richmond, Va, Dec. 1.-The News
Leader here today prints the outline
of what is said to have been a detail
ed and private confession left by H.
Clay Beattie. Jr.. for the perusaI oi
his family alone.
According to this alleged confes-
sion, Beattie decided two weeks be-
fore the crime was committed to Kill
his wife.
The details of the murder coincide
almost precisely with the theory of
the case set out by the state at the
trial.
Beattie induced his cousin Paul to
buy the gun and hide it behind a
stump on the Midlothian turnpike.
He is said to have stated that he
shot his wife full in the face as she
was stepping from his automobile, ana
that she fell backward into the road.
Beattie denied that he first knocked
his wife down, story which gave him
much annoyance, implying cowar-
dice Beattie is also said to have de-
MED that he sat upon his wife's body
during the wild drive to Richmond.
He is said to have asserted that his
marriage was comparatively loveless
and was forced upon him by his faith,
er's earnest wishes.

SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN
THE CELEBRATED DYNAMIT-
ING CASE YESTERDAY.
Prisoners Were Not Sentenced, the
Judge Fixing December as the
Date for Imposing same-WiII Lose
Labor's Support.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 1. - A
sensation was sprung in the trial of
the alleged dynamiters of the Los An
geles Times building last year when
James 8. McNamara and John J. Nc
Namara plead guilty this afternoon of
destroying the LewelIyn Iron Works,
which crime they were also charged
with when indicted by the grand jury
last spring.
The judge set December for i'm
posing sentence.
This confession Of guilt by the Nc
Namara brothers came like thunder
bolt from clear sky. BY pleading
guilty to this crime the consensus of
opinion of those in charge of the trial
is that they will later, after sentence
is imposed, make a clean breast of
other deeds Of this nature, among
which will probably be the Los An
seles newspaper building.
WILL LOSE LAsoR's SUPPORT.
nThe sympathy that was felt for
tSese ms BY labor leaders so we'll as
union men in general, will now wan,
as stated before the trial that if these
men were found guilty they should re-
eeive their just deserts.
The confession Of this afternoon
will probably result in an abandon
ment Of their cases by the various un-
ions of the country. over $25o,oo0 had
been collected for their defense, so
strong was the belief in the minds Of
union men throughout the country
that the men were innocent.
No lives were lost in the blowing up
of the LeweIlyn iron Works,

HUNTING SEASON OPENS.
Number of local Nimrods Out Yester-
day for the First Time.


The hunting season in Georgia, UNI
der the new state law, opened yester-
day and probably thousands of quail
and doves were killed in various Sec
tions of the state. Here in Bruns-
wick large number of hunters went
out for the day.
There are in this county about $50
people who have paid license and
have the right to hunt. Probably not
another county in the state the size

pretty well understood by all local

FRANKLIN THINKS HE is
VICTIM OF BIG "FRAME- UP"
District Attorney and staff Preparing
to Arrest Others in Bribery Case.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 1.-Further
activity by District Attorney John d.
Fredericks and his staff was looked
for today in probing the alleged at
tempt of Bert H. Franklin, a detective
employed by the Mcnamara defense,
to bribe a prospective juror More
arrests perSstently have been hinted
at ever since Franklin was apprehend-
ed and released on $4,000 bail on last
Tuesday. His hearing is scheduled
for next Monday.
The resumption of proceedings in
the trial Of James B Mcnamara fell
behind the Fanklin incident in inter
est today.
One reason way arrests are expect
ed is because of the silence maintain
ed by the state as to the origin Of the
$4,000 gathered in by the detectives
when Franklin was arrested. The al
legation was freely made by the pros
-ecution that the money was being
used to bribe George n. Lockwood, a
yenireman, but as to its theory about
the source Of the fund not the slight
est inkling had been given today
Victim Of "Frame- up"
That the incident has not been fully
probed is the contention of Franklin,
who claimed he was the victim of a
political "frame-up'' and has declared
openly that the district attorneys Of
fee acted properly in accordance with
the information that came to it. He
is convinced that further investigation
by the state win show him to be inno-
cent Of the charge.
Franklin will be arraigned for pre-
hminary examination on Monday, the
day before the local municipal cleo
tion. He has. been chief detective for
MCNAMARA defense, among whose
counsel is Job Hartman, socialist, and
one of the two candidates for mayor

Teheran, Persia, Dec. 1.-The ma

foreign minister has resigned.
The vote of the national council on
rejection of the ultimatum was cast
in open session. A subsequent secret
sitting of the members was practical
ly unanimous against compliance.
Would Humiliate Persia.
A cablegram from British Foreign
Minister Grey was presented to the
assembly during the sitting. The dis
patch urgently advised compliance
with the Russian demands, but some
Of the members pointed out that Eng
lands advice had hitherto only led to
Persian humiliation. They believed
that Sir Edward Grey had been mis-
informed and emphatically asserted
that Russian injustice had become in
tolerable.
They thought that resistance on the
part of the Persian government to the
Russian demands would awaken for.
eign attention and lead to an impair
tial inquiry. Compliance, on the other
hand, would be construed as a sign
of abject cowardice and would mean
national suicide.
Governor Assassinated.

the crime, They pierced their victim

WAS impossible for Persia ever to sign
away her own independence. II Rus
sia should wrest it from her, that th en-

A deputation OF member of the ma

Shuster before the vote was taken in

consult OILY the interests of their
country and not to consider him.
The national council registered it's
refusal to comply with the term of
the Russian ultimatum at 11.45. Just
quarter of an hour before the limit
of the expiration of the ultimatum.
In the meanwhile large crowds
thronged around the precincts OF the
