Representative Payne of New York,

speakers.
Mr.. Payne denounced the Under

"mongrer' and referred to the open
session of the conference committee.
Mr.. Underwood, following Mr..
Payne, declared that If the conference
bill became law instead of loss

he hoped President Taft would have

Then the debate was closed and the

ment that the vote-206 to 90-was
more than sufficient to pass the bill
over the veto of the president so far

ing him with the murder of his wife,
Mrs. Louise Wexford Owen Beattie,
on Midlothian turnpike on the night
of July 1S. The examination of Thomas
Il. Owen, Coroner Loving Z. Pettigrew

ficient to show that a murder had been
committed and that the coroner's jury

ception to the date and announced that
the time would be extended on Mon
day next providing the defense showed
conditions which warranted, otherwise
the case would proceed. The court
handed down ruling, however, which

two attorneys representing the defense
could see him at any time and without
the presence of the jailer or any of bis
assistants.

as was expected. Paul Beattie was
permitted TO walk in the open and en-.

his brother had dropped he folded and

at Grant park aviation course. This
sum is the same that is allowed to all
