Claim the Body From
Glacier

Quincy, Mass July 6.-Miss Edith
Randall. daughter of John c. Ran
dali, Quincy banker who lost his
life in the Alps over 40 years ago, is
on her way to Chammonix, where she
hopes to recover his body when the
glacier Des Bessons gives up those
who were frozen at its top September
6, 1870.
Miss Randall will stay at the same
hotel where her father lodged, at the
little village at the foot of the Alps,
where the glacier gives up its dead.
and will meet the children of the
guides who lost their lives on that
occasion.
Three years ago Miss Ethel Randall,
a granddaughter, visited the scene and
remained for more than three months
in vain effort to find some trace Of
the body.
Randall was treasurer of the
Quincy Savings bank and the Granite
National bank He assembled the Alps
with two other tourists and nine
guides The party was caught in a
snowstorm and all persisted
Recent discoveries indicate the
bodies Will be recovered within a few
weeks. It takes a little more than
40 years for the glacier to travel
from the place where the men perish

Plants Near Washington
Park to Be Finished With
in Four Months.

The new garbage disposal and
sewage plant near Washington
park viii be completed within the
next four months, and will then
be accepted and started to operat-
ing for the disposal of the city's sew
age, instead OF the present crude sys-
tenn Of pouring into the river The
tract upon which the plant is being
erected includes 16 acres, more than
two acres of which will be occupied by
the plant and the tanks in connection.
The main building will be $50 feet long,
SO feet wide and will be equipped with
a battery Of modern boilers arranged
to burn the garbage solids, with oil
burning auxiliaries in case the addi-
tional fuel is needed
Ingenious Disposal Method.
The method of disposing Of the city
sewage is ingenious and is the result
of a number of years of experimental
ton by hydraulic and chemical engin-
GERS. The sewage as it flows from the
main sewer is dumped into the receiv-
ing well at the plant. In this well the
coarsest solids are screened out. The
liquid and smaller solids are then lift
ed 70 feet and are passed through
screens having 40 meshes to the square
inch. This eliminates practically all Of
the suspended So10S. 1heSe are burned
in the garbage furnaces except the
non organic solids, such as sand and
small gravel which are dumped out
upon the ground. After the screening,
the liquid goes into a sedimentation
basin, where the settlement of fine sol
ids and silt in solution occurs.
Interesting Process.
The most interesting process then fol-
lows. The liquid is sprayed into the
air, so that il may collect as much
oxygen as possible out of the atmos-
phere. The spray falls upon filter beds
made Of crushed stone, from three TO
five feet deep. The fungus growths
which occur are known as oXydizing
bacteria, and act upon the organic mat
ter, destroying it. The liquid, free from
organic matter, is then drawn off from
the filter and is practically free from
this offensive organic matter. The

Mother|ess Babe May Save Beattie
 From Death Chair
States Important Witness, Mother of Murdered Wife, Has Formed Strong Attach ment For Helpless Infant and May Refuse to Appear at Trial
Special from United Press.)

Chesterfield Courthouse, Va, Aug. 2s
 The low cry of a motherless babe
 may save Henry Clay Beattie, .Jr..
 from dying in the electric chair for
 the murder of his wife. Not since the
 July night when he rode home with his wifes dead body has the stoical youth made a single inquiry about the child-his and the dead woman's-left motherless by the crime.
 But the clasp of the fingers of that 10 weeks old babe and it's whimperfng cry may keep from Chesterfield court house witness upon whom the prose- cution based a large part of the case that was planned to force the pay ment of Beauties life for that of his young wife.
 That witness is Mrs R. V. owen, mother of the dead woman. While Beattie inhaleS his cigarettes and reads his newspapers in indolent indiffer- ence in his cell, she croons comforting 1ullabyS at the cradle of the little mite of humanity that is to her the last bitter reminder of her murdered daughter.
 And the love that the helpless in- fant has awakened in the five weeks since the tragedy may prevent the stricken grandmother from returning to Richmond to testify against the child's father. Since the tragedy Mrs. Owen has returned to her home in Dover, Del, and is beyond the juris- diction of the court. No subpoena can force her to appear. If she comes she will come voluntarily and the prosecu tion learned, today, that 1t is very probable that she will refuse.
 Tn the chain of circumstantial evil dence upon which the prosecution de- bends to send Harry Beattie to the chair, Mrs. Owen is an important link. Upon what she was expected to tell of the domestic life of her daughter the prosecution contemplated building a motive-a horrible motive. based on revolting physical facts.
 The prosecution had planned the story of a selfish, debauched husband bringing home to his young wife. from his wild orgies, a loathsome disease. They had planned to show that the husband feared his wife's disclosure of this infamy would result in an es- arrangement with his father, cutting consequent deprivation of his F year money. With this as a motive for the killing of the wife, the prosecution saw a strong case in their hands.
 Mrs. Owen, the prosecution has been possesses a letter from her daughter written shortly before the killing which bears out this story. But both Mrs. Owen and the letter are in Delaware and without them the lawyers for the commonwealth be- lieve that it will be almost impossi- ble to prove this phase of their case

GEO. ". BACON, ". 6 ". VETERAN, 1,
 EXPIRES AT 93
Prominent in This City for Long Term of Years Has Lived in Hartford of Late.

Many friends of this city were pain ed to learn of the death in Hartford yesterday of George W. Bacon, for merly of Bridgeport, one of the pion- eers in the Wheeler 6 Wilson Sewing Machine company.
 MT. Bacon was a contractor for that firm for a long term of years, start ing in with Messrs. Wheeler and Will son, founders of the company. His connection with the firm continued until 15 years ago, when he retired from business and went to Hartford, to live at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. B. Martin, 220 Collins street.
 While in Bridgeport MT. Bacon was prominent in the work of the Wash ington Park Methodist Episcopal church. On leaving for Hartford he transferred his membership to the First Methodist church of that city.
 Personally he was very popular and is particularly remembered by the old CT employees of the Wheeler & Wilson shop. He represented his district in the council here and represented the city of Bridgeport for three terms in the State Legislature.
 MT. Bacon leaves two daughters, Mrs. H. c. Houghton of Red Oak, Ill.,, and Mrs. J. B. Martin of Hartford. Had he lived until Thursday, he would have been 93 years of age.

THOUSAND LINE CROSSED
 IN CAMPAIGN TO PUT ALL
 BOND ISSUES TO BALLOT
Mr. Voter, Your Rights and Privileges Are Involved in
 This Matter, Be Sure that You Understand It

Council that there should be no bond< ing, without a vote by the people. The Council took this view and recommended that a vote be permit ted, if 15 per cent. of the electors should petition for it. These views were presented to tf1e legislature, which assented. Thers- upon every one of the five bonding bills was made so that it would not be effective for 30 days and so thas voters should petition for an oppor- tunfty to vote upon the bonds, each item, in the form of question, would be placed upon the machines in tho November election.
 If the petition is successful, as tt Will be, the electors, when they go in to vote, will find five question, on the machine as follows:
 Shall S400,000 in school bonds be issued.
 Shall ssa5,ooo Almshouse bonds b.
 Shall s1oo,ooo Bridge bonds be is- sued.
 Shall s4o,o0o Fire House bonds b~. issued. 4s
 . Shall l s1ssooo Police Building, bonds.
 The voter who pulls the pointer to- ward NO" will vote against the issus.
 The voter who pulls the pointer to- ward Yes" will vote in favor of thsl issue.
 The point is that the people them selves. those who are interested in the questions, will determine whether or not the debt shall be created, how much, and for what purposes. If there were no referendum thni bonds would issue as matter o{ course, and the voters would have no voice in the matter.
 Sign the counon petition and mail or bring it to be editorial rooms of the Farmer.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-08-23

A little after noon, today, the thou sand line was crossed in the cam paign for referendum signatures. Two thousand more names must be ob- tained before the campaign can close, and possibly ten per cent. more must be procured to make allowances for duplicate signatures, and occasional petitions that have been signed by men who are not voters.
 It should be remembered that the Farmers referendum campaign is not a straw vote. It is not inspired by curiosity, or a desire to obtain adver- Using. It is public business, carried on under acts of the General Assem- government and the interests of the people.
 Every name that is signed to a Farmer petition for the referendum is an exercise of public power en- trusted by the state to the voter, to measure. just as he now votes direct ly for candidates for office. Most public business, certainly go per cent of it, is satisfactorily done by the agents of the people, the Com mon Council, and the various boards such an extraordinary character that 1t is generally recognized they should not be performed except upon the clear assent of the voters
 Suoh an extraordinary matter is bonding.
 Various agents of the people have suggested that there should be cer- tain improvements, the cost of which should be met by bonds.
 The Common Council considered all of these matters Some of the inn provements at least it regarded as necessary.
 But many citizens urged upon the

either by one of it's officers or it's coun- sel.
 Here arises another interesting sit- uation. The Steeplechase Island Amusement Co.,, Inc, decides to send it's counsel to court, it will have to look to none other than Carl Foster, the judge of the City court. Judge Foster has been for several years, from before. his connection with the City court bench, the counsel for the Stee- plechaseN Island Amusement Co.
 Just what procedure will be taken after the corpora tion sends it's accred- ited representative to court, Comley is not yet prepared to state. The main object, he said, in bringing the action against the corporation was to have the conviction, if obtained, recorded against the license.
 It may be recalled that Matthew E. OBrien, now practicing attorney in for several years leading temperance agitator in these parts, succeeded some years ago in having enacted stringent laws under the strict enforcement of which saloon keepers convicted of vio- lations $of the excise laws may he stripped of their licenses.
 All evidence against the island has been collected by state policemen sent here at the instance of the Bridgeport Pastors association, and the liquor cases are no exception. The state po- licemen were not in the city court today when Captain Paul Boyton, manager of the Island, and Michael Murray the lessee of the pool and bil- Hard parlors, appeared to answer to the charges of Sunday law violations.
 Captain Boyton and Murray were to have been represented by Atty. John c. Chamberlain, who appeared in be- half of the Island men when they were in court on Aug.i1 l, He was de- layed in reaching police headquarters, but having previously indicated his wish for a continuance to Prosecutor Redden, who issued the warrants for their arrest, Redden asked Judge Eos ter to continue the eases.
 Saturday was suggested as a good date, but Captain Boyton, said he would be very busy that day and would like another date if agreeable. Next Tuesday was finally agreed upon as a date satisfactory all around.
 Judge Foster announced that he could not act, being counsel for Cap tain Boyton, and that he understood Judge Wilder did not wish to act in the cases. He will call in an outside judge to pass upon the cases when they are heard in the city tribunal next Tuesday morning.
