Mr.. Griggs, who is great sachem

a shame" said Mr.. Griggs, that the
Indian at present cannot join the or

romance and tradition"
He declared that at the next nation

programme and have arranged for a
week that will go down in the annals

ever enjoyed. The business sessions

BIG AVIATION MEET
Western Press.

CHICAGO, Aug. PA dark, dis
NAL morning with frequent thunder
showers threatened to mar the open
ing of the International Aviation meet
this afternoon. In spite of assurances
by the United States observers that
nine days of fair weather and clear
skies are due the present outlook is
that only few flights can be made
before tomorrow.
Nevertheless the thirty-five avia-
tors, the best known in this country
and Europe were up at daylight max
ing their final preparations and over
seeing the last possible touches to
their machines, assuring themselves
that no mechanical defect would pre-
vent their having fair trail for the
eighty thousand dollars in prizes to
be given.
The meet is to be the first big dem
onstration the middle west has seen
and is to be genuine competition, not
a mere exhibition of flying.

More TO please his father, upon
whom he depended for living, young
Bcattie, about two years ago married
Miss Louise Owen, the pretty daugh-
ter OF a resident of Dover, Del. The
marriage was not happy. Young
Beattie did not abandon his fast life
after marriage and even the birth of
child, about six months ago, did not
improve the relations between the
young married people. A few months
ago Beattie met the Binford girl by
accident at n baseball game at Nor
folk and she was easily induced to re-
turn to Richmond, where Beattie
promised to provide house for her.
Beattie and the girl met frequently
at different hotels in this city and,
although they kept their relations Sc
cret, Beattie's father learned of the
affair and is said to have threatened
his son with the withdrawal Of his
support, should the young man not
stop his dealings with the Binford
girl. In the second week of July last
young Mrs. Beattie, with her baby,
went to visit her uncle, Thomas T..
Owen, within mile Of South Rich
mond. She was to return home on
July 10Th. On the evening of July
18th, young Beattn came to Mr..
Owens house in his automobile, to
take his wife out for ride. They
left, driving along the Midlothian
Pike. About eleven o'clock that night
Beattie returned to Mr.. OWENS house
in his auto, steering with one hand,
while he was holding his wife's life
less body with the other.
Beattie said that his wife had been
shot and killed with shotgun by
tall man with a long beard, who had
held them up, while they were driving
along Midlothian Pike. The case
called for an investigation by the
coroner's jury, gave the verdict that
with a shotgun in the hands of her
husband, Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.
The latter was arrested and lodged in
Henrico county Jail, where he spent
his time unconcernedly, smoking Gig
arettes and strumming on his guitar.
The Binford girl was arrested as a
possible accomplice. Since his i'm
prisonment Beattie stuck to his orig
inal story, but his position became
serious when Paul Beattie, poor rel
ative of the accused, confessed that
he had bought for the prisoner the
shotgun with which the murder had
been committed. The state has sue
ceeded in forging strong chain of
circumstantial evidence against Beat
tie, but the apparent lack of a motive
is considered weak spot, which may
vitality affect the chances of con-
viction.

years was given at the Casino today
under the auspices Of the Rhode Is

canine pets belonging to the fashion
able residents of Newport were dis
played. There was no place for an
ordinary dog in the exhibition. A
line of -blooded canine ancestors
was the only ticket that insured ad-
mittance. Even class distinctions pre-
vailed among the tiny animals, the
naughty Blenheim spaniels and those
named in honor Of King Charles alb

GRAND JURY TO PROBE
BEATTIE MURDER.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. I'm
tense and general interest is mani
Tested throughout the state in the
opening, next Monday, of the session
OF the grand jury for Chesterfield
county, across the river from here.
The grand jury will be called upon to
investigate the Beattie murder case,
one of the most sensational and puz-
zling crimes ever committed in that
county. 1t is the general impression
that there will be enough evidence
submitted by the state to justify the
grand jury to find an indictment for
murder against Henry Clay Beattie,
Jr., now prisoner in the Henrico
county Jail, but at the same time it is
well known that the state has added
little to the circumstantial evidence
obtained shortly after the crime was
committed, that a reasonable motive
for the alleged crime has not yet
been found and that counsel for the
defense has been working quietly
but diligently, assisted by number
Of private detectives, and is evidently
determined to make a desperate fight
at the subsequent trial to save the
accused from electrocution.
The history of the crime with
which Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., has
been charged by the coroner's jury,
contains many features of unusual in
terest. The accused, who is now
about twenty-six years of age, is the
son of Henry Clay Beattie, Sr., well
to do business man of this city.
Young Beattie received fair educa-
tion, and, at an early age, began to in
Judge in fast and reckless life. He
had numerous affairs with girls, but
only one mad serious consequences.
About four years ago he became inti-
mate with Beulah Binford, handsome
but morally corrupt girl, who, at that
time, was not quite fourteen. The in
timacy continued and two years ago
child was born to the girl. The
young mother named the child Henry
Clay Binford, but soon abandoned it
to the care of some relatives. Later
the child was adopted by Mrs. Mary
Trout of Richmond, but it proved
sickly and died in July of last year.
To hush up matters young Beattie
induced Beulah Binford to Raleigh,
N. c., where she promised to remain,
so as not to interfere with Beattie's
marriage plans.

Gratis appreciate the fact that they
must fight hard to win a victory in
the coming election. Despite the sue
cess with which the Democrats have
been meeting in other sections the
party leaders here are aware that
Kentucky, which has been admittedly
doubtful state since it went Repub-
lican for the first time in 1895, is
now more doubtful than ever. This
is due partly to the advantage of the
Republicans in being in control of the
state administration and partly to the
fact that the states increase in pop
ulation, as shown by the recent CEN
sus, has been almost wholly in the
whelmingly Republican.
The platform will give an enthu-
siastic Endorsement to the policy
pursued by the Democratic party in
Congress. AS regards state issues
the most interest centers in the reso-
lutions concerning the liquor ques-
ton. Unless the Republicans force
the issue, which so far they have
evinced no intention of doing, the
Democrats probably will refrain from
making the question the chief issue of
the fight. If the convention feels OBJ
liged to take an emphatic stand in
the matter, however, it will probably
declare itself against statewide pro-
hibition and unequivocally in favor of
uniform local option law, with the
county as the unit.

WAGES IN ENGLAND.

If you don't believe laboring men
in this country are well off, in spite
of their screams and demands for in
creased wages, read the following
from letter of W. C. Alexander to
The Globe. Mr.. Alexander is visiting
in England.
at might interest some of your
readers to know something of what
the laboring class receive and how
they live. The average wages paid
farm hands is $3.50 to $3.50 per week
and small cottage furnished. Farm
hands, working here and there, get
about $2.88 per week and at harvest
time it runs as high as 1925 per week
and pay their own house rent. Men
who tend masons, mix mortar, dig
bitches and such work, receive six or
seven cents per hour. What do they
live on that they can clothe and feed
family on such wages? Mostly
bread, little cheese, tea and little
meat once a week, and, If they have a
garden, the women work that. A num-
ber of women go to the fields in hay
and wheat harvest. They receive 30
cents per day and board themselves
and often walk two miles to and from
work night and morning. Women, who
do scrubbing and washing get three
cents per hour, or 30 cents per day.
(Note-In Atchison they get fifteen
and twenty cents an hour and two
miles.) Girls for house work get 60
cents per week and up. Women cooks
get about $1.70 per week and, at some
places, put in sixteen hours every
day. House girls are expected to re-
move supper dishes, which is at
to $3.50 p. m. Flour costs little more
than in America, but bread is cheaper.
Meat is about the same price. Cream
cheese costs 18 to "a cents per pound
Sugar is cheaper, coffee costs more.
Hose, clothing of all kinds, shoes and
gloves are cheaper than with us. AL
together, living costs nearly as much
here as in our country, outside OF
wearing apparel. I have not seen a
pic since / came over. You seldom
see window or door screens and never
among the middle or the laboring
classes.-Atchison Globe.

DENVER, Aug. 12.-Mrs. Concetti
Forgione and her daughter Stella, IS
years old, confessed at Golden last
night they stood by while Mrs. An
gelina Garramone cut the throat of
Mrs. Marie Laguardia, and robbed her
of $500. Mrs. Forgione said she held
Mrs. Garramone's 4-year-old baby in

The killing was done with butcher
knife, according to Mrs. Forgione and
her daughter, and the money taken
from the murdered woman Mrs. For
gione received $160.

guardia in the open air near the tracks
of the Intermountain railroad, east of
Golden.
The confession came after the wom-
an and her daughter had been ques-
toned all day and were taken by Sher-
iff Dennis and Deputy District Attor-
ney Johnston to the scene of the kill
ing. Clyde Cassidente acted as in
terpreter when Mrs. Forgione confess

was cool, even when standing on the
spot where she said the killing had
occurred but Stella was terror-strick-

voice as the party approached the
place where Mrs. Laguardia was kill
ed and her body hidden.
Mrs. Garramone is now serving an
eight-year sentence in the peniten-
