Mr.. TAFT IS MUCH BETTER
Cabinet Will Meet in White
House, However, To day.

Washington. Nov 20.-President Tafts
cold had so far improved tonight that
it was said to be practically certain that
the regular session of the Cabinet will
be held tomorrow. For the first time
since the executive offices were built, the
meeting will be held in the Executive
Mansion
The Presidents improvement to-day
was so noticeable that DR.. De Laney
said there was not the slightest danger
of anything more serious than a cold
developing and Mr.. Taft himself felt so
much better that he summoned Attorney
General Wickersham Secretary Nagel
and A.. II. Sanders, OF the Tariff Board,
to discuss phases OF his forthcoming
message
DR.. De Laney intends that Mr.. Taft
shall get all the rest possible before he
takes up the mass OF work ahead of him
and will keep him in the White House
proper as long as possible.
The President is much better" said
DR. De Laney after visit to Mr.. Taft
to-day. He is suffering from cold;
that is all"
Secretary Hilles who is also a victim
of cold, did not appear at his White
House desk to-day. His condition, how
ever was said to have improved.

mo RESPITE FOR BEATTlE
Gov. Mann Denies Offering to

BY Telegraph TO Ihc tribune.
Richmond, Va, Nov. 20.-Answering
a sensational story sent out from Rich
mond last night. in which it was pur-
ported that Governor Mann had made
the proposition that If Henry Clay
Beattie, jr., confessed the murder Of his
wife he would grant him a respite, Gov
ernor Mann tonight called attention to
the closing paragraphs of his statement
issued on November 10, and ended his
remarks by saying:
Upon the statement that the judg-
ment of the Circuit Court of Chesterfield
shall be carried into effect without in
reference, I stand as firmly as when
signed it. l shall not interfere"
With less than four days of his life
left, Beattie rested quietly in his cell,
apparently unable to comprehend that
there is no hope that he may escape the
extreme penalty for his crime.
Rumor was busy in Richmond's
streets to-day and sensational reports
were spread that Beattie had committed
suicide; that he had confessed; that he
had been respited that he had de-
nounced his cousin. Paul Beattie, and
many more. none Of which was true.
Beattie spent an uneventful night
after his family's Sunday visit and APP
peared to-day in about his usual tenn
peramental condition.

Who Looks Like DR.. McNeir.

Suffering from a mental disorder. DR..
Robert II. McNeir a physician of
Springfield, Mass, was placed in a pri-
vate sanatorium at Northampton. Mass.
In February 1910. Dr. McNeir escaped
from that institution on Friday and a
general alarm was sent out for his ap-
prehensiOn
Detective George Griffin saw a man
answering the physicians description
walking along Exchange Place yester-
day. After engaging him in conversa-
tion The detective told him he recognized
him as Dr. McNer, of Springfield, whose
patient he had been.
The stranger emphatically denied that
he was DR.. McNeir. His dress and ap-
pearance Tailed with the description
sent out by the sanatorium, so the de-
tective decided to take him in custody.
When arraigned later before Magis-
trate McQuade, in the Tombs court, the
stranger refused to say anything re-
garding himself. and the magistrate sent
him TO Bellevue Hospital for observa-
tion.

SUFFRAGISTS ON WARPATH
Militant English Women Plan to
Invade House of Commons.

London. Nov. 20.-The suffragettes are
preparing to renew their attacks on Par
lament with battle tomorrow night,
which will surpass all previous cam
paigns. a few days ago a delegation of
suffragettes attempted tC obtain pledge
from Premier Asquith that the govern
mcnt would undertake'to pass bill Civ
ing equal suffrage TO both sexes. Pre-
mier Asquith declined to make such
pledge. telling the delegation that he had
always been opposed to woman suffrage.
At a subsequent meeting the suffra-
gettes decided to begin a war Of dem
onstration" in Parliament Square on No
vember 21. They have summoned all
their followers and male sympathizers to
assemble around the Parliament Build
ing at o'clock in the evening
The fact that the gathering is fixed for
after dark may make unusual trouble
for the police. Mrs. Pethick Lawrence
explains it thus: The gathering has
been arranged late for the express rea-
son that the decent. honest workingmen
will be in the streets We have found
that their presence affords women moral
protection against violence by the police
and hooligans."
Miss Christabe Pankhurst declared to-
night that the women certainly will push
their way 10 the floor of the House of
Commons this time to make their pro-
test against the great insult Mr.. AS

man.

It occurs to US that those Vir-

the candidates are in the fight al
