women of Newberry read The Herald

who once belonged to an organization
called the Civic association, and If
they do, do they read wnat The Idler

in existence or not, md not any such
noise have I heard that sounded any
thing like a live organization. This Is

if after city council was told that that

we would have had that light now?
Nay, nay. I don't like gutter. Now,
mind you, I don't say the Civic asso-

see it doing something, or at least
trying to do something. Stagnation

I came along down by the Methodist
church recently and it seemed to me
that John Mayes had not been giving
proper attention to the lawn. There
is pretty good crop of clover, but It
is only in spots. and would like to
suggest to Mr.. Mayes that he should
study lawn grasses and the proper
time to SOW and to work. Every
body sees this lawn and I am hoping
that Mr.. Mayes will not relax in his
efforts and that he will keep this lawn
as an object lesson and maybe 1t Will

WEIGH CASE POSTPONED.
Writ Was Defective and Judge
Orders Same Quashed---New
Writ is Issued, Returnable
August Is.

This morning at nine O'Clock was
the hour set for the hearing OF the
writ issued against Arthur E. Welcb,
a saloon keeper at the corner OF Fair.
fax and Princess streets, to show cause
Shy his license should not be revoked
on account of supposed violations Of
the Byrd law WEIGH was represented
by Attorneys Edmund Burke Of Wash
ington and Frederick P. Russell Of
Alexandria. There were large
number OF witnesses on hand including
Chief Goods, Lieut.. Belts and nine
policemen.
Mr.. Burke asked that the court
uuash the writ on the following
grounds: first, that the proper motion
for the issuance Of the rule had not
been made by the commemorative at
torney; second, that sufficient time had
not been granted for the answer and
third, because the rule was not specific
and did not contain the charges that
had been made against the saloon
keeper.
The court entered an order quashing
the writ on the grounds as stated by
Mr.. Burke but Immediately on motion
OF Mr.. Brent issued new writ against
Welch which will rectify the errors
made in the previous one.
On the question of the date for the
answer to the new writ there was a
difference Of opinion between the law
yers. Mr.. Burke wanted it TO lay over
to the fall term Of the court but Mr..
Brent made q strenuous objection to
the delay. He said the case against
Welch was OF public Importance and
should be decided at once. He stated
that lie was very anxious to get away
for his summer vacation and knew that
the court was DESTROYS CT doing the
same thing but he thought his duty as
public official came first and would
remain here until the matter was
brought 10 conclusion. Judge Barley
agreed with Mr.. Brent and stated that
he would return to Alexandria from
his vacation aud therefore set the case
for August 10Th.

formation That resulted in Beattie' s
dramatic arres; yesterday. Paul D.
Bcattie, The :. c,i*ed mans cousin, had
told his wife ti;al he bought the gun
for the husband Of the murdered
woman. He did not tell her, however,
until bis conscience had driven him to
the verge OF nervous hysteria.
Because his con, cicnce cried out, he
told his wife of the Ink in the chain Of
evidence which the police were forging
against his cousin. Mrs. Beattie, and
Paul Beattie's conscience persuaded
him to tell the story to the police Then
the man collapsed. He recovered
slightly at the City Hospital Today,
and was able TO take the witness stand
at the inquest He will probably b.

Loving reconvenes the hearing this AZ

B|NFORD GIRL EXPELLED.
Woman in Beattie Murder Case Was
Only in St. Mary's For Few Days.

In her testimony before the coroner
jury in Richmond yesterday Beula
Binford the girl who has figured
largely ia the Beattie murder case an
who was the motive OF the crime said
that Beattie had sent her to St. Mary's
School in Alexandria, but that after
remaining here month she had be,
come so anxious to see her paramount
that she had left the school and re-
turned to Richmond.
AtSt. Mary's today it was said that
the Binford girl had been pupil in
ST. Mary:s but only for few days.
She had been sent to school in Man
assas but the sisters there thought she
might be better satisfied in Alexandria
and requested authorities OF st. Mary's
to take her. She had only been in the
school q few hours when her real
character became known and shortly
she was expelled and return
ed to Richmond. The time she was
here vas two years ago and it vas said
this morning that she was neither
beautiful nor attractive girl rs has been

HERE INTENSE.
Beattie Case Probably Without Pa
rallel in Depth of Popular
Feeling---Much Excite
ment Shown.

For intensity Of interest aud depth
of popular feeling nothing IN all the
annals Of crime in Virginia can quite
approached the Beattic case, which
reached long expected, but none the
less sensational climax yesterday at
ternoon in the arrest OF the husband
OF the dead girl. The Gazette vas tue
only newspaper outside Of Richmond
TO publish the fact Of Beattle's arrest
yesterday.
From the moment the details OF
the tragedy became public property
tongues began to wag, and strangely
enough readers OF the first newspaper
accounts promptly inserted between
the printed lines suspicious and ex-
pectations that had never been writ
ten. The story OF the murder was
not an hour old before the whisper
OF Bcattie's possible completely began
to creep abroad gathering ready
assent as it sped on. In day the
whisper had become chant that rang
from the end OF the city TO the other.
What lay behind the remarkable
unauimity Of sentiment it remains yet
to be determined, but that it existed
is fact No hint seemed needed
for The first reports certainly gave none.
The ground seemed ready prepared,
and it looked much as il the public
had occupied the frame of mind Of
one who after long watching slum-
boring crater simply sasps when the
crash comes, and cries. Il told you go. !"
