APPEALED FOR ASSISTANCE
IN FACE OF ALMOST CERTAIN
DEATH HE KEPT SENDING
OUT CALLS FOR AID
CHARLESTON is RECOVERING
STREET CARS RESUME SERVICE
AND ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANTS
ARE AGAIN IN OPERATION

Charleston, S. c., Aug. SOTO the
courage of wireless Operator Shelley
sixteen-year-old lad, the liner Lex
| ington's twelve passengers and crew
of forty-four say they owe their lives.
Stormracked for twenty-four hours,
her nose driven deep in the quick
sands off Hunting island. with seas
dashing over her, the Lexington
threatened to break up and fling her
human cargo to death in the seething
waters.
But Shelley, the wireless operator,
did not despair Persistently he
licked out his call for help and kept
the terror-strlcken passengers from
abandoning the ship. Finally a terri
fic waves swept the ship and wrecked
the wireless apparatus on board. For
a moment it seemed that all hope had
been dashed, but Shelley climbed into
the rigging and hastily fixed up a
make-shift station. In imminent
danger of his life from the high wind,
which threatened to tear him from
this seat, and blinded by the spray,
renewed his plea for aid.
through the storm, the ap-
peal was answered by the revenue
cutter Yamacraw. which had heard
his call. and responded to save the
lives of the Lexington's crew and pas
sengers.
The twelve passengers, a steward
and three negro employees of the Lex
ington were brought here early today
by the Yamacraw, which left the cap
tain and crew of forty-three men on
board. Two firemen were reported to
have been burned to death and a third
terribly scalded when the vessel
grounded. First officer Chamberlain
fractured his right shoulder When
the captain realized the danger of the
liner breaking up at any minute he
had life-preservers strapped on every
passenger.
With street cars running, electric,
power available for commercial pur-
poses and telephone service resumed,
conditions in Charleston are today
fast becoming normal Thousands of
men are clearing away the debris left
by the hurricane of Sunday night
The damage done here will total
more than a million dollars. Fifteen
persons are known to have perished,
and it is feared that reports from the
exposed islands will swell the death
list and the property loss.

SERIOUS WRECK IS
NARROWLY AVERTED
COACH OF FAST TRAIN ON HOOK
ING VALLEY ROAD JUMPS
THE TRACK.

Columbus, o., Aug. 39.rxH Hooking
valyey train No. 8, running from To
ledo to Columbus, narrowly escaped
serious wreck this morning when
one of the coaches, loaded with WIS.,
itors to the state fair, left the rails
just after the train had crossed
bridge near Olentangy park on the
outskirts of Columbus. No one was
seriously injured, though many of the
passengers received minor cuts and
bruises.
The car as it left the rails, went
humping along the ties and when the
train was stopped turned in an angu-
lar position. The passengers were
thrown in heaps and one or two, it is
said, jumped through the windows
into ditch. A moment later the car
turned over and settled on it's side
on the roadbed. Several of the pas
sengers who were left in it then had
to be hauled out through the win
dows.
The accident was caused by the
wrecked car jumping switch. The
first five of the eight coaches passed
over the switch safely. The train
was running slowly and when the
sixth car left the rails was quickly
stopped.

disorders are occurring in the Mocte-

A failure of the crops planted and
the failure of many to plant crops be-

BIG sNEEzE-FEsr OPENS.

Bethlehem, N. H. Aug. 30-Sneezers
for whom sneezing is common in
terest, rounded up in this famous
White Mountains resort today for the
annual meeting of the United States
Hay Fever association, which derives
its name from the fact that all its
members sneeze in June, July and
August and as much longer as they
are afflicted with hay fever outside of
the regular hay fever season.
Hay fever is not a pleasant disease,
and it makes its victims suffer and
destroys their good temper. But it
is by far the best organized disease in
America. So far as is known the
jaundice sufferers have never held a
convention, and no one has ever
called a convention of those afflicted
with ingrowing toe nails. But for
many years the hay fever victims
have gathered here each summer to
discuss their common troubles. Every
member of the association pays an
nual dues Of fifty cents, and this pay
ment entities him to receive all of
the many pamphlets and other forms
of literature that are issued each
year on the disease and methods for
procuring relief.
Rev. Clayton E. Delamater, of West
Mass, occupied the
chair at the opening of the conven
tion today. More than a score of
states were represented in the at
tendance. The initial session was
given over to symposium discussion
in which veteran sneezers and physi-
clans told their associate sufferers
of all the new discoveries in the line
of remedies and preventives. To-
morrow the members of less expert
ence will be given an opportunity to
tell what they have learned about the
iilment.

PROSECUTION RESTS CASE
1T HAS WOVEN STRONG NET OF
EVIDENCE ABOUT THE Ac-
cUsED MAN.
PAUL BEATTIE ON STAND
HE is RECALLED AS ONE OF THE
PRINCIPAL WITNESSES FOR
THE PRISONER.

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Aug.
30.-The prosecution rested its case
at noon today against Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr., under indictment for the
murder of his wife, and the defense
began the introduction Of its wit
nesses. Before any witnesses for the
defense were summoned court re-
cessed for a few minutes to permit
the defendants counsel to argue a
point with Judge Watson in the alb
sence of the jury, concerning the
striking out of certain evidence intro
duced by the prosecution.
The commonwealth hao occupied a
week in placing its case before the
jury. Today the prosecution produced
fourteen witnesses, mostly county de-
tectives, to controvert the testimony
of young Alexander Robertson as to
the presence of more than one blood
spot on the Midlothian turnpike
where Mrs. Beattie was killed.
The state had contended that the
big blood spots where the murder oc-
CURED were not caused by blood
dripping from the machine in which
the husband alleged his wife was
seated when shot. Declaring that no
blood whatever could have oozed
through the bottom of the car, and
the grease drip pan beneath it was
not detail in the case, but by con-
centrating attention on the single
spot of blood, the commonwealth In
tended to show that the woman was
murdered in different manner from
that described by the husband.
The defense announced early in the
day that it would call Paul Beattie
to the stand again.
When court opened today Harry M.
Smith, Jr., chief counsel for the de-
tense, asked that canvass of wit
nesses for the defense be made. Sew
eral were excused with the statement
by Mr.. Smith that certain phases of
the case anticipated had not been
touched on by the prosecution"
Miss Louise Reams, maid of honor
at the Beattie wedding, was the first
witness called and identified the kind
Of hair pins worn by the murdered
woman. Detective Jarrel was then
called and testified that the night of
the murder and the following night
he searched the turnpike carefully but
found only one blood spot. Detect
i've Scherer corroborated this testi-
mony which was offered to contro-
vert the statement of Alexander Rob-
Inson yesterday that he saw several
blood spots on the road.
Paul Beattie was then called as the
first witness for the defense. He ad-
mitted he had conversation with G.
W. Booth concerning the murder and
when confronted with his previous
statement that he had not conversed
With Mr.. Mooth he stated that he
knew the man by sight but not by
name.
