CHAPTER XIX.
The Machine Runs Over Ivan and
Emil.

1t is probable that no previous state
ment had ever been made in that grouy
without calling forth an attempt to over.
throw 1t; but this one was received in ST.
lent acqufescence. Ivan was absent mind
edly engaged in tucking his frayed skirts
into the top OF his trousers. and Emil was
stroking the beard which twice that even.
ing had revealed his identity.
AS thic supine acceptance Of their des-
perate condition became apparent to Dick
he aroused himself and surveyed the der
intently.
'Pshaw. this is an easy one" he re.
marked, after a minute. There is q
trapdoor in the roof Here. give me a
BOOST
With their assistance Dick found no
and in a moment he had the trapdoor
open Are you all ready. princess?" he
called, gayly.
Goodness. yes" she answered. prompt
ly: but how can l ever get up?'
That's another one,'' answered Dick,
studying moment.
He rose, walked to the edge OF the roof
and said: Here, Ivan, you're the taller.
Help Emil up
proportions denoted strength rather than
agility. and he was perfectly content to
remain on solid ground; but Dick had the
magnetic gift of stirring another to &C
ton before that other had time to form
his own will on the subject. In college
games and college FRANKS this gift had
been exercised and developed until Dick
had formed the habit of speaking as one
having authority; and while he was still
arguing in his mind the wisdom of the
move, Emil found Ivan pushing at him
from below, Dick pulling at him from
above and himself climbing to the roof to
take an active part in some transaction
of every premise Of which he was utterly
ignorant
Dick escorted him to the open hatch
way and called down, cheerily: Look
out below. Now then. Emil, take my
hand and I'll lower YOU
No said Emil, recovering himself. Il
go not into hole when know not what
it on the bottom has,"
Dick drew back a pace placed his arms
akimbo and eyed him scornfully. And
SO I have nourished a coward in my
BOSOM he said, in hurt surprise. do
you mean to say that after all Ivan and
/ have done this night you are going to
funk and spoil everything"
Il am not a coward" said Emil. Il do
not at any time funk: but such a thing
as this. it is not the duty of any man to
do"
.'Then l would suggest that you get
down from the roof at once. return to the
library, get a book on statistics, and find
out the exact number of brave men who
have deserted their comrades in the mo-
ment of their peril"
Il am not deserving my comrades, -
protested Emil. Il do not wish to-
wish only to remain with them, and not
to descend into a hole on to I know not
what"
''Will you kindly inform me why you
insisted on coming along?" asked Dick,
with polite hauteur.

DEMAND FOR sHIPWRIGHTs.
Building of Collier at Mare Island
DELAYED by Lack of Labor.

Though activity in eastern shipyards is
not great at present, there is great
scarcity of skilled shipwrights on the
Pacific coast. So serious is the labor sit
uation at the Mare Island navy yard that
the constructors have not been able to
undertake to build the big steel collier
Jupiter. although Congress authorized Its
construction more than two years ago.
The Mare Island constructors have APP
pealed to the Navy Department to send
shtprights from the Atlantic coast.

~ demanded by this great continuing and
increasing loss. The 1910 fire destruc-
ton In the United States would pay the
interest-be bearing dept of the country in
four years or build the Panama canal in
two years. It exceeds the combined cost
of the United States Army and Navy and
the interest on the national debt. 1t more
than equals the combined gold and silver
production in the United States and the
post Office receipts.
If all the buildings burned last year
in the United States were placed together
they would form an avenue of desolation
reaching from Chicago to New York, and
rescued at every thousand feet, there
would still be a man. woman child
killed for every three-quarters of mile.
The fire loss in the United States
averages three dollars annually per cap
ita. against thirty cents in Europe. Those
who have made a study of this matter
agree that at least two-thirds of this
awful waste of life and property could
be prevented by means similar to those
taken in Europe.
After the Triangle shirt waist factory
fire in New York last spring, in which
IA lives were lost, a meeting of citizens
was called for the purpose of taking
some steps toward preventing the repeti-
ton of such a horror. 1t was dec ded
that a commission of safety should be
provided. A bill for this purpose is to be
presented to the New York legislature
by February IL, 1912. This commission,
as now planned. shall have full power for
official investigation and compulsion of
proper precautions on the part of prop
erty owners. 1t will include two senators,
three assemblymen and four citizens, to
be appointed by the governor of the
state.

RICHMOND, Va. Nov. 24.---Henry
Clay Beattie jr., before his death in
the electric chair at 1873 a. m. today,
confessed to the murder Of his wife.
The statement which was given out
in the rotunda of down town hotel,
is the following:
81, Henry Clay Beattie jr., desir-
Gus of standing right before God and
man, do on this 2Sd day of Nov
ember, 1911, confess my guilt Of the
crime charged against me. Much
that was published concerning the de-
tails are not true, but the awful fact,
without the narrowing circumstances,
remains. For this action, I am truly
sorry, and believing that am at peace
with God and am soon to pass into
his presence, this statement is made p
Beattie's confession is followed by
the following statement of the at
tending minister;
"This statement was signed IN the
presence Of the two attending min
listers, and is statement that can and
will be made public by them Mr.
Beattie desired us to thank the many
friends for the kind letters and ex-
pressions of interest, and the public
for Whatever sympathy was felt or
expressed"
One minute after the two thousand
volts had raced through his body Beat

DENVER, Nov. self-defense,
the plea upon which Attorney o. N.
Hilton is endeavoring to free Mrs.
Patterson, is very closely woven with
he theory of her temporary insanity.
Within the rules governing the admis-
sion of evidence under plea of self
defense there could not be introduced
the story of bestiality and cruelty
that Mrs. Patterson is telling upon
the stand except TO show that it was
provocative of an unbalanced state Of
mind.
Mr.. Hilton does not claim that Mrs.
Patterson was temporarily insane, but
is introducing this evidence to show
her state of mind at the time Of the
killing. The fact that Mrs, Patter-
son says her husband struck her just
before she shot him would permit her
to avail herself Of the doctrine of
self-defense, and the condition of her
mind, that made that blow seem to
her like an indication of mortal dan
ger, is being shown by going into the
story of the three years of Mrs. Pat
terson's life with her husband.
When Mrs. Patterson went on the
witness stand this morning Hilton
asked her to continue her story of
the events in Chicago. Benson renew
ed his objection but after twenty
minutes argument Judge Allen ruled
that the testimony was proper.
An irreverent reported suggested to
Prosecutor Benson yesterday after
noon that the twelve who are to de-
eide the fate of Gertrude Patterson
would, il he desired a conviction, have
70 wear binders. The remark mere
ly shows how thoroughly that element
Of feminine beauty enters into the
trying of murder case and how ir-
radicable it is regarded.
The jury in the Patterson trial is
composed of young men. One there
is who is the brother-in-law of
budding newspaper writer whose sym
pathies have been strongly aroused
by the sight of young and beautiful
woman in a tragic role. Prosecutor
Benson, however, does not regard this
fact as having undue importance, as
he believes an intelligent jury OF
thinking men has been secured.
During the long questioning Of
talesmen, with the alternate responses
Of "Under no circumstances would I
condemn woman to death,' and "I
believe the same law should exist for
women as well as men," the great fac
tor in life-sex-played its important
role.
Mrs. Patterson, her exquisitely mod
eled profile outlined against the green
paneling of the court wall, as pure,
as appealing as an Ingres painting,
shot side glances into the faces of
prosecutor and talesman.
The crowds who peered for
glimpse Of Gertrude Patterson's face
yesterday saw those languid lashes
fall with the simplicity of child.
They saw them raised with the slow,
dangerous grace of an odalisque.
They saw them fasten upon some OBJ
ject with the questioning wonder of a
Greuze picture. Then they saw, too,

RECORDS BROKEN BY
BIG STEAMER OLYMPIC

New York, June 3O.-The largest
number of cabin passengers that
ever left this port on a single ship
boarded the White Star liner Olym-
pic to-day for England. The Olym-
pic, the largest steamship afoat,
started the second half of her maid
en- trip with 2,205 persons in her
three cabins. The cost of sailing
from Southampton and back is
$4,000 and the return from pas
senger fares will be s325,OOO. Dur
ing the steamers stay here more
than $4,000 persons paid fifty cents
each to inspect her. The money
went to the Seamen's Orphan Fund.
