BRYAN NO LONGER
 WORSH|PPED HARMONY PREVAILS AT CONVFg- TI0N WHEN THREE FAC.
 TIONS ARE IN DEBATE.
BRYAN NOT MENTIONED
The Common Not Scored But COnven. ton Held as a Defeat For Him
 Harmon is Favored.

Freemont, Neb,, July 25.-For the first time in twenty years, Democra- tic state convention has been held without the name of William J. Bry- an being mentioned and without passing resolutions endorsing and thanking MT. Bryan for his work for the Democracy. In that light today's convention of the party, held in Free mont, is regarded as a defeat for Bry- an, although no resolution censuring MT. Bryan was passed. The action was ill strict accordance with the ante-convention statements from the anti-Bryan faction which wishes to show the country that Nebraska Dem ocrats no longer worship at the Bry- an shrine. Although loaded to the muzzle with explosive material, the match was not applied and only har- mony showed on the surface despite the fact that the debate was divided into three factions, each just waiting for one of the others to start some thing. That trouble was averted was due to the work of the followers of Senator G. M. Hitchcock, who is not Of either faction and who persuaded the leaders of the different factions not to force either an endorsement or vote of censure for or against anyone.
 Considerable sentiment fayoring Harmon was worked up among the delegates by Ben Chamberlain, Har- mons representative, but no attempt was made to secure official recogni- tion of the Ohio governor.
 The Nebraska law prevents the of candidates at state conven- tion, this being taken at state pri- maries Today's convention, however built platform and arranged for the state campaign officials, according to law. In one section of the platform the Democrats commended the Taft Reciprocity Bill.

MRS. \. M. NORRIS CHARGES THAT WALL OF BUILDING WAS TORN
 AWAY WITHOUT CONSENT.
ASKS FOR ONLY Sl,5OO
Says She Tried to Avoid Suit on Ac. count of Her Age and Worry
 It Occasions.

Mrs. A. M. Norris, who through her attorneys, Rose, Hemingway and Loughborough and Asa C. Oracle. oi Little Rock, filed suit in the Jefferson circuit court Monday against the Citi- zens Bank for $1,50O, states that the suit was brought to recover rents lost through the damaging of her building, adjoining the Citizens Bank building. on West Second avenue, and to reimburse her for money expended in making repairs on the building, said damages, it is alleged, being the result of carelessness and the remove als of party wall, when work was begun on the new bank building.
 Mrs. Norris declares that she tried ln every way to avoid suit in the court, because of her old age and the worry usually occasioned by legal proceeding. but was unable to do so.
 The plaintiff charges that the con tractors, who built the office building. tore away the wall of her two-story building during the absence of her. self and daughter from the city and without her consent. After the wall was torn down, she charges, the building was so badly damaged as to make 1t unfit for occupancy and when she returned from the west the lat ter part of 1910. she says, all of hei tenants had vacated the building and she lost four months-September October, November and December rent from them. Some of the tenants, 1t Is claimed, were kept from the building until February, 1911. Ac- cording to an agreement. says the plaintiff, when the property upon which stands the Citizens Bank build- ing was sold, she was given permis- sion to use the old wall of the old Citizens Bank building as party wall.
 According to Mrs. Norris, she was forced to expend $500 in making re- pairs and placing the building fin first class condition again. She says sne Is suing only to recover the amount she was forced to expend in making the necessary repairs on the building and the rents that she lost through the alleged carelessness O. the contractors.

 It is stated by officials of the light company that practically every busi- ness house in the city has agreed to use the lighting system and that be- fore they are all installed at least one hundred and twenty-five contracts for post will be made. The Corporation further estimates that there will he no less than a hundred and fifty or namental lighting posts in the busi- ness district.
 The Pine Bluff Corporation de- serves coh siderable credit for ori- ginating and putting through such a modern improvement for Pine Bluff The new system of lighting the streets will not only be an innoya- tion enjoyed by very few cities in the south, but will place Pine Bluff along with the most progressive eastern cit 1es i'll this line of civic improvement. The idea of Pine Bluff having a fine street Illuminating system has al- ready attracted the attention of oth- CT Arkansas cities.
 By the mammoth shipment of the globes yesterday, Pine Bluff is said to enjoy the distinction of receiving the largest shipment of globes that ever came into the south. Pine Bluff could not receive better advertisement than this up-to-date lighting system will give it.

IS REPORTED TO HAVE TOLD OF. TIGERS THAT BEATTIE PROM.
 ISED TO ELOPE WITH HER.
GATHERING EVIDENCE
Richmond, Ya., Murder Mystery is Be. ing Cleared Up By Detectives
 -Beattie is Confident,

Richmond, Va, July 25.-Beulah Binford, the young woman with whom
 Henry Clay Beattie IT,. was infatuat-
 ed, is said to have confessed today
 that the bankers son promised her
 last Tuesday night that he would
 elope with her. It was on Tuesday
 night that Mrs. Beattie was mysteri- ously shot to death while riding
 with her husband ill his automobile
 on the Midlothian turnpike. State
 ments made tonight by the police and
 Prosecutor Wendenburg indicate that
 they now have enough evidence in ;, hand to make them sure of their case
 and the main part of this new evil
 dence is believed to be the girls con- ! fession.
 In her confession Miss Binford is
 alleged to have declared that Beattie
 said to her last Tuesday:
 ! T have got to live with Louise so
 long as the old man lives, but when
 he dies-say kid, we will go away from here together and while we may not be able to get married, we will take chance"
 "The old man. referred to by Beat
 tie in his alleged declaration is be- lieved to be Mrs. Beatties father, R. V. Owen, of Dover, Delaware, who is very wealthy. Mr. Owen is here to- day to aid in the prosecution of Beat Today's developments have con- winged the authorities that Beulah Binford has much to tell of her re. lations between her and Beattie and it is proposed tonight to transfer her to another jail and place her in soli- tary confinement in the hope that she will break down and reveal the se- crets of her past.
 For almost an hour this morning Prosecutor Wendenburg and Detec- tive Scherer were in conference with MT. and Mrs. Paul Beattie at the jail MT. Scherer came away wearing a smile. "The evidence is in our pos session." he said, "and is sufficient"
 A stranger was taken to the jail this afternoon by detectives and after confronting Henry Clay Beattie and his cousin, Paul Beattie, the detectives gave out statement to the effect that what the stranger says. fits in win the theory that Beatie killed his wife,"
 l is thought the stranger is the man who said he saw Beattie and his wife standing in the road previous to the murder.
 One of Beulah Binfords diaries was found today. It's pages are full of scraps of sentimental thoughts ad- dressed to Henry, Dear Kid" and the last page contains items of fur nlture selected to go to housekeeping. which she says in a note to Henry Beattie: "You may visit me without anyone knowing anything about it."
 The defense has a score of men working. gathering everything possi- ble to strengthen the defense of the young man accused of the murder of ms wife. In the meantime Beattie maintains confident demeanor. but
