fever of a delirium that had been
upon her since the day of her de-

serted her.
She was transferred in a patrol
wagon to a santarium. Sunday

come to Cincinnati, saying that his
bride was very i'll.

in the Race to Stay.

Des Moines, Aug. 30.-Special: This
that ever gathered in Iowa and the
biggest day the state fair has ever
known, gathered in Des Moines to-
day. All incoming trains were crowd
ed to the doors and every road head
ing into Des Moines was filled with
automobiles. Fully $4,000 and per-
haps $4,000 are on the fair ground this
afternoon, besides the streets of Des
Moines are crowded as never before.
Experts say that this outpouring of
of prosperity in every town in Iowa
and in ! ca teS~ that-the- peQple have lots
of money. Today was political day
at the fair and Governor Carroll and
state officials, Senators Kenyon and
Cummins and several others took part
in the program. There was some ex-
element this morning when a rumor
was circulated that Ex-senator LATE
Young had announced he would not
contest with Kenyon. but a few mo.
ments later Young appeared and said
he was in the race for senator to stay.
State officials from Illinois, Oklahoma,
Nebraska and other states are here
today.
Clifford Turpin narrowly missed
killing man while making his decent
at the fair grounds today north of
the grand stand. He was coming down
from the north at a mile a minute
clip. An unknown man standing in
the field looked up and saw him COM
ing his way. He began to run and
just missed the huge machine by a few
inches. If the structure had hit him
it would have been instant death.

CRY to FISHER FOR FUEL
Alaskans Want Cheaper Coal and Sec
rotary of Interior Plans to
Open Mines.

Cordova, Alaska, Aug. 30.-Walter
l.. Fisher, secretary of the interior,
completed a 4OO-mile trip along the
Copper river valley into the interior
of Alaska.
Throughout the journey the secre-
tary shook hands with old prospectors
and pioneers and questioned them as
to the needs of the localities. They
told him their most pressing need vas
cheaper fuel.
Mr. Fisher said he was gathering
facts and figures as to the best meth
cd Of opening the coal fields. He in
timated that the situation resolved
itself into two propositions. one of
leasing the lands. and the other a
system of government ownership. The
impression he created was that he
would advocate the leasing system.

CLARK ANSWERS TAFT
SPEAKER OF HOUSE DECLARES
PRESIDENT is UNGRATEFUL.
Asserts That Only Politics Played Was
to Redeem All Promises Made
In 1910.

Quincy. ILL.,, Aug. 30.-Champ Clark,
speaker Of the national house of rep
resentatives, in long statement here
replied to charges made in President
Tafts speech at Hamilton, Mass, last
Saturday
He accused the president of ingrati-
tude and of misstatement of facts. He
said he was replying only for the Dem
ocratic congressman and would let the
insurgent Republicans take up the
cudgels in their own behalf"
Among other things, he said if the
tariff board is to be used as pretext
for delaying tariff revision downward
the Democrats will cut off the sup
plies.
President Taft's speech at Hamil-
ton, Mass, last Saturday" said Speak
er Clark, can only be described as
remarkable when the history of the
recent past is taken into considera-
ton.
The presidents criticism of Mr..
Underwood and myself-which is es-
sentially a criticism of all Democrats,
in the house and senate, because all
Democrats stood tOgether-is abso-
lutely uncalled for and is as migrate
full performance as can remember;
for, If 1t had not been for the action OF
the Democrats in the house in both
the Sixty-first and Sixty-second con-
crosses in lining up almost unanimous
ly in favor Of reciprocity with Canada,
he would have been the most thorough
ly discredited and Inundated presi-
dent since the days of Andrew John
son.
The president says we didn't play
politics about reciprocity, but we did
play politics about the tariff. The only
politics we played was to keep faith
with the people and redeem the prom
ises we made in order to win the cleo
ton in 1910, which is the best and
noblest sort of politics. If any poll
tics was played on reciprocity, the
president himself played it--personal
at that"

From Seattle by Cruisers and
Chartered Craft.

Seattle. Wash, Aug. 30-Homeward

started on the last leg of his tour

ment
Admiral Togo saw for the first time
the Percheron stallion Togo, presented
to him by Fred X. Keisel of Ogden,
Utah, when he went aboard the ship.
He was greatly interested In the beau
tiful animal, and petted 1t and stroked
Its neck for several minutes.
The demonstration at the wharf was
insignificant compared with that given
along the water front as the Tamba
Maru, with Admiral Togo standing on
the bridge beside her commander,

Dor. Every vessel in the bay footed
its whistle and factories Oh the fats

ward the sea.
In addition to the escort OF the
American warships the Japanese or
ganization of the city had chartered

she had passed out of the sound. and
the procession was an imposing one.

DELAYS CLOSING OF CASE
State Will Call Several More Wit
nesses to Oppose Evidence of
Touth-Cousin's Tale Is
mistaken.

Chesterfield Courthouse, Va, Aug.
3O-A sixteen-year-old boy, talking
swiftly but clearly, revealed on the
witness stand, to the surprise of both
defense and prosecution in the trial of
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., for wife MUIR
der, that he had observed several
blood spots along Midlothian turnpike,
where the crime occurred.
Hitherto it had been presumed no
blood spot existed except one near the
place where Mrs. Beattie Is supposed
to have succumbed.
Alexander Robertson was the boy,
and what he told the jury unexpected
y in response to question from
counsel for the defense entirely upset
the plan of the commonwealth to rest
its case. Prosecutor Wendenburg an
nounced that it would be necessary
for him to call at least seven or eight
witnesses to .Controvert the boys testi-
mony.
Tells of Blood Spots.
On direct examination by the prose
cutor, when the latter was seeking to
show where the boy found a certain
yellow hairpin similar to that worn by
Mrs. Beattie, Robertson referred to
the distance of the place from the
first blood spot"
Were there two blood spots?"
asked Harry NJ Smith, Jr., counsel for
the defense, in apparent surprise. The
boy then told not only of q second
nf 18th
er spots near it.
The revelation concerning the pres
ence of more than one blood spot is
in line with the contention of the de-
Tense that all blood on the road oozed
from the automobile in which Beattie
alleges his wife was shot.
Blow to States Theory.
The prosecutions theory has been
that the large blood spot in the road
at the place where Mrs. Beattie is al.
legged to have been killed resulted
from murder committed outside the
machine and not in the seat, as Henry
alleges.
Robertson was summoned as wit
-ress by tire prosecution orfy for the
purpose of stating that he had found
hairpin, but his testimony as re
suit of the questions of counsel for the
defense soon established that he would
be an important witness for Beattie,
and he subsequently will be called by
the defense II necessary.
In the meantime the prosecution
will gather witnesses to show that
many people looked for other blood
spots and found none.
Beatties in Same Jail.
Henry C. Beattie, Jr.; the accused,
and Paul D. Beattie, his cousin, who
on the witness stand told of an al
legged confession by Henry concerning
the murder, are confined in separate
cells in Chesterfield county Jail.
Paul hitherto had been kept in con-
finement in RichmSnd in default of
bond, but after he finished his testi-
mony, Judge Watson ordered his re-
tention in Jail here.
Paul Beattie's story was not shaken
in the cross-examination by counsel
for the defense, but II became appar-
ent that the defense intends to refute
his testimony by placing on the stand
the prisoner himself.
