TREATMENTS UNIONS
 WILL NOT JOIN STRIKE
Statement of Counsel for Enginemen
 and Bremen.

San Bernardino, Aug. 26.-Four or pIoyed in the train service of the United States will not join the strike of the shop workers if the troubles of the latter should result in a walk out. This statement was made by Hugh l.. Dick son of Peoria. III, general counsel of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, who arrived here to- day.
 Dickson, who was formery district attorney of san BernardinO county, said he thought the reduction Of the forces in the shops put into effect to- day by the Southern Pacific was not a war measure. designed to forestall the strike. but was due to falling off of business.
 Although I have no official knowl- edge about the threatened stgike of the shopmen of the Hartman system" Dickson continued, 'I knew of the men's demands and am afraid q strike may grow out of it. But our organization and the other brother hoods of trainmen are not concerned las they have satisfactory contracts and will observe them"
 Dickson said that in the event of strike the railroads would have a hard time as the shopmen of the Hartman lines have an organization which embraces all branches of shop work. with all the resources of the American Federation of Labor behind it.

Prosecutions Testimony Dis sIpating Bsalus's Defense W HAT SIX BOYS SAW
They Passed Defendants Automobile About Time of His Wife's Murder That Pool of Blood in the Road.

Chesterfield Courthouse. Va, Aug. 26.-Considerable progress was made by the prosecution in the case of Henry Clay Beattie Jr., on trial for the murder of his young wife who was slain with a shotgun while mo- toring with her husband on Mid lothian Turnpike last month. Just before adjournment of the court an duplication by Beauties counsel was granted that the accused man be per mitted to go to Richmond so that the defense might have a conference over Sunday. The prisoner was whisked back to Richmond. cheerfully waving his hand from the automobile to those he recognized.
 There were many tense moments for the prisoner as the prosecution uncovered fragments of a cOnversa- tion which he is alleged to have had .concerning Beuhla Binford, the girl lin the case
 It was plainly evident that it was the prosecutions endeavOr to show that the underlying motive for the crime was the fear of Beattie that his father would learn of his re- sumption of his relations with Miss Binford and a physical ailment he is alleged to have had at the time of the murder.
 Half a dozen youths were placed on the stand who were returning from Ia dinner on the night of the murder land who had seen an automobile standing in the road with a man working on the hood and a woman on the running board. One boy. w. B Snyder. identified Beattie's car as the one he and his companions had seen.
 All six of the boys told the same story of the woman on the running beard and fixed the hour of their passage as almost cOincident with the hour of the murder The prose- .cutiOn, through Detective Scherers testimony later added to this trend of proof that Beattie's wife was not shot while seated beside him. as the prisoner ayers but while standing in the road
 Scherer said Beattie had inconsist- ert, varying conversations with him in endeavoring to explain the pres ence of a pool of blood in the road. Scherer monOpolized the afternoon session. His testimony frequently in- troduced the name of Miss Binford which excited the interest of the pris- .oner. His usual nonchalance gave way and he strained forward over the bench before him. Occasionally Beattie put his arm around the neck of At .torney Smith and whispered earnest ly- The court adjourned until Mon day.

SUIT AGAINST S. p. to Deprive Railroad of Cali
 fornia Oil lanus.

Los Angeles, Aug. 26.-An action in equity was filed in the United States district court here with the object of busting the Southern Pacific railroad company and subsidiary interests from oil lands in Tulare county. The Peo- ple's Development company is plaintiff and the value of the land is estimated at more than s1,OO0,OOO. The suit is based on the ground that when the United States government granted the railroad every alternate section of land along it's right of way. mineral lands were not included. The Peoples De- velopment company lays claim to sev- eral alternate sections in the San Joa- auin oil field, which are being held by the railroad. Several oil companies and individuals who are operating on the oil bearing lands under a lease or permit from the railroad are named as co-de- fendants.

STILL URGES ACTION
Sister of Nielsen Declares She
is Convinced Her Brother
Died From Foul Play
THINKS MURDER AND ROBBERY

Mrs. W. Hayes, sister of the late
Louis Nielsen, whose body was found
along the lake shore south of the city
on che afternoon of April Goth, is seek
ing to secure a re-opening of the case
and insists that she is convinced that
her brother was the victim of foul
play. Mrs. Hayes resides in Denver,
Colo, and she has sent letter to
Kenosha asking that the police of the
city take up the case from this stand
point and seek to find more evidence
in regard to the manner in which the
man met his death. She gives it as
her opinion that Nielsen was robbed
aud murdered and insists that he was
suffocated before the body was placed
on the lake shore where it was found.
This theory Of the case has been tax
en- by other friends of Nielsen and 1t
the present time the police of the city
are seeking to find some trace Of a
man and woman who are known to
have been friendly with Nielsen and
who disappeared shortly after his body
was found on the lake shore. AS yet
no trace has been found of these peo-
pie. In her letter Mrs. Hayes says.
"My opinion Of my brothers. death
| is that someone or more with inten-
sions of robbery, had learned his hab-
I it's of walking around alone and had
waited for chance and found it
while he was thus walking this night,
or perhaps he was decoyed out ON
South Park avenue, then seized and
gagged and probably something thrown
over his head to keep him from recog-
nizing his assailant and in that way
got suffocated or strangled to death.
That he got struck on the head and
face in trying to defend himself and
as 4e could not put up much Of de-
fense after being i'll for some time
proved an easy victim and that the
assassins on discovering him dead had
carried or hauled him to the lake in
hopes that the waves would carry him
out to sea to cover up the crime.
While he was not extravagant he
was never known to carry the small
sum of 81 cents. The finding Of his
watch and chain and change would
never make me think that robbery
was not the motive as no professional
robber or holdup man would take
iewelry which would make identified
ton easy if once suspected. I certain
ly believe it was foul play, and not
suicide unless proven beyond a doubt.
He was too cheerful and carefree for
that.n
