room by the shots.
Fox, who was a married man,
had, It is said, been drinking for
several DAYS, and this, together
with despondencv over other mat
tiers, is supposed to have been the
main cause for the deed. He lived
only a short time after firing the
fatal shots. Before shooting him
self Fox locked the door of his room
to prevent interference.

BEATTIE GUILTY OF MURDER
AND MUST DIE, SAY JURY

Henry Clay Bette, Jr.. drove his

the night of July IS. and unloaded
the body of his wife.
The young husbands story that
the murder was committed by a,
rough bearded stranger. and that
he wrested from the stranger a sin
gle barreled shotgun. was discred-
tied by police authorities.
The state showed that young
Beattie killed his wife in order that
he might be free to continue rela-
tions with Beulah Binford. a young
woman of the underworld.
Meanwhile Beulah Binford, after
being released from Jail. left the
scene of her notoriety and hurried
to New York to accept a stage en-
gagement and pose for motion pic
lures.
The jury Friday night returned
verdict of murder in the first de-
gree. Beattie was condemned to
death by electrocution. and Novem-
yer % was fixed for the execution.

Convention on the county unit prop

itorially says:

It IS WRITTEN
ON THE CARDS
That Next President Will
Be a Democrat.
THE SITUATION ASSURES IT
Clash Between Pr0gressiveS
and StandpatterS Is Be-
coming Fierce.
THE TARIFF TO BE THE ISSUE

(By Clyde H. Tavenner, Special
Washington Correspondent of The
Herald.)
Washington, Sept. 9.-Has Taft
committed political suicide? Has
he, In renewing his warfare on the
insurgents. committed a fatal po-
litical blunder, both for himself
and the Republican party generally?
These queries have aroused dis
cussions that are raging like a bliz-
gard Of words in political circles all
over the United States.
Still another question that is be-
ing asked and re-asked, especially
by Republicans, Is: IL the Presi-
dent does succeed in driving the
progressives out of the Republican
party, where will he drive them to?
And the conclusion most general
ly reached is that it is written on
the cards that the next President is
to be a Democrat 1t is practically
agreed that II standpatter is nom
mated, the progressives will smash
him; and If a progressive is nomi-
mated, the standpatters will smash
him.
What makes the situation still
more hopeless for the Republicans
is that the 1912 campaign issue is
to be the tariff-the one subject on
which the two factions can not get
together.
Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette
will give President Taft a hard
race for the 1912 nomination. 1t
is declared that the Wisconsin SEN
ator believes absolutely that he will
win.
The progressive Republican or
LaFollette headquarters in Wash
ington is a beehive OF industry.
From this headquarters the pro-
gressives are being organized in
every nook and corner in the coun-
try. II is possible to present to-
day the substance of the claims
which the Insurgents make. They
declare they expect to control, well
in advance of the Republican ma
tional convention, the delegations
from Wisconsin, Minnesota, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, California,
Washington, Kansas, Nebraska,
South Dakota, Montana, Oregon,
Iowa lin part).
There will be big aggressive
fights for Illinois, Indiana, Wyom-
ing and Nevada.
The Southern States will be
pressed to take up the anti-Taft
fight, on the ground that Taft's
nomination will be equivalent to
defeat, and that If the party hopes
for continuance of the loaves and
fishes of patronage of Southern
States, 1t must give its support to
the nomination of a man with a
chance to win.

MAINE VOTES AGAINST
PROHIBITION STATUTE

Portland. Me-. Sept. 11.-Unofi-
cial and only partly revised returns
from 499 out of 521 cities, towns
and plantations in Maine to-day
give a majority of 904 for repeal of
the prohibitory constitutional
amendment. The missing twenty
two towns cast less than 3S5 votes
at the State election three years
ago,
The vote by congressional dis
tricts was as follows: First dis
trict. for repeal 1882; against 49,
473.
Second district. for 1892;
against 1920.
Third district, for repeal 13.457;
against 1868.
Fourth district, for repeal a.
oil; against 1859.
Totals, for repeal 6O,7S2; against
59.S7S.
One hundred and twenty thous-
and voters cast ballots on the ques-
tion.
AS has been predicted, the cities
were the chief strongholds of the
repeal faction, but the majority of
10000 in the total city vote was
barely sufficient, according to the
latest available returns. to Offset the
vote of the rural committees.
