lection the attorneys for the prosecu-
ton said they would defer the question TO
take up another line.
Did Beattie ever so out with his wife
alone?" asked Mr.. wendenberg OF Mrs.
Owen
Not until that night"
Here at 30 o'clock the court decided to
recess to y jury room 10 discuss certain
points concerning prospective testimony Of
the witness.
After the conference as to the admission
Of Mrs. owens testimony was concluded,
her examination was resumed She test-
fled at length, indicating that there was no
doubt OF young Mrs. Beattie having knowl-
edge Of the physical condition OF her hus-
band. The testimony brought out that the
conditi N Of young Seattle became known
to his wife on the Thursday before she was
killed.
ION the night OF the murder" said Mrs.
owen. I asked Beattie who could have
been 80 cruel as to kill an innocent girl.
He gave no explanation, but said: Take
me out OF the room He gave no explana-
tion."
Characterization then began by Mr..
Carter for the defense The attorney drew
from Mrs. Owen the admission that her
knowledge of Beattie's condition was based
purely on what her daughter had told her.
Mr. Carter moved to strike out the evil
dence, but Judge Watson overruied the
motion.

SPIKES PULLED FROM RAIL
Passenger Train Wrecked Near Mid
dleton and sixty Persons
Injured.

MIDDLETOWN Conn Aug 2S.-Abram
p. Brown of Hartford, who suffered an in
jury of the spine last night in the wreck
of the evening train over the Valley line
of the New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad, died here today
Tie sixty or more other passengers on
the wrecked train who were injured are all
doing well and none are likely to die.
The cause OF the wreck is being looked
into Early this morning Superintendent
Woodward of the Shore line division who
went to the scene of the accident at
Msromas, notified the police here that he
found on close inspection that the train
had been purposely wrecked. He says:
fAll the spikes of one rail--that nearest
the river-were pulled out and were laying
around the track. They were not dam
aged a bit by the wreck. which would
have been a natural result If they had
been in their proper place at the time of
the accident. Not one was twisted or bent
THE spikes were pulled up from the
rail nearest the bank OF the river and on
both sides Of that length OF rail My con-
cluson was II was an attempt to wreck
the train. l cannot tell whether the spikes
Of more than enc rail had been torn up,
as the others were covered with mud and
debris"
The theory that the train was wrecked
by design is accepted by the railway Of
ficials, who have issued a statement prac-
tically reiterating the conclusions OF Super
lntendent Woodward. A reward of 81 500
is offered for Information leading to the
conviction OF the person or persons who
caused the wreck.

Beginning to Line Up

IOWA CITY, Ia. Aug. 2S-(Special.)- j.
Coach Jesse b. Hawley OF Iowa university,
Assistant Coach NJ. l.. Eby and the other
Hawkeye athletic authorities are laying
plans for one of the biggest and best sea-
sons in the history of the Iowa institution
They hope to secure Maurice Kent as a
third coach and Tommy o Brien of Chi
cago as trainer ere long. Kent is an Iowa
alumnus, who has played professional
base ball since leaving school and has
coached the Haskell Indians. O'Brien, who
has been here before. formerly aided in
training the Chicago Cubs
Iowa viii have the heaviest schedule in
it's history, with Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Purdue. Northwestern and Ames as a
dangerous quintet. and Cornell, Iowa and
Morningside trimmings"
The prospect is bright for the return OF
many old men of much experience and
ability, and numerous experts who were not
eligible in 1911, although here then.
Captain Murphy, halfback; Powell, half
and end Alexander the colored tackle;
Buckley end and half; Clemens and
O'Brien, centers: weeks. guard; Curry,
Jones and Tricky, backs; Draska. an old
Ames man, touted as one of the best line
men in the state Danton. Callandar Kors.
Seydel Reichelt and Kirk, brother of
Iowas old-time captain. These are some
of the best men to return.
Repass, Iowa's great guard, has been a
victim of typhoid fever during the summer
and the Hoerlein brothers have gone to
Oregon to a fruit ranch since the death OF
their father, and these three losses are
Iowa's heaviest blows.

we're incurred for the creation and de-
velopment of the investment end Of the

But II Union PacifIc's profitable invest
ment account is not point OF weakness
In the sense in which O section of wan
street understands II to be, II may lay the
company open TO attck from the quite am
other quarter 1t 10 an open secret that
the federation of labor has picked out the
Union Pacific as the road with which to
begin its fight for higher wages precisely
because that road reports large earnings
on its common stock. No other road OF
Importance west OF Chicago earns Is per
cent on It's stock and only the Southern
Pacific comes anywhere near that figure
II Union Pacific had never had an invest
ment account it would not he exhibiting a
Is per cent rate OF returns: It's balance for
dividends would be more like Atchison's

Then there is the matter of rate regu-
lation. 1t is true that in legal theory. pure

a carrier does not enter into the reasonable
ness Of a rate, but who has forgotten that

to Jump from. Is to IL per cent rate of
earnings on company's stock to the con-
cluslon that the company's rates are suffic-
lent or even excessive, without giving much
thought to how the stockholders returns

There Is a substantial and respecta bic
body Of opinion that holds that Union
Pacific win never be sure of an unpre-
I JUDGED hearing OF its cause in either labor
or rate controversies as long as the stream
OF its investment income is allowed to
Tningle with the stream Of its transporta
tiona earnings in such. ashton thar oniy
few bespectacled aeadernfcians are able
TO remember the differences. Men say that
the present disposition OF the company
assets exposes it to the danger of punish
ment for having been wonderfully fortunate
/ In its Northern Pacific speculation more
| than decade ago.
Hence the confidence with which an
ultimate distribution of Union Pacific's in
vestment stocks is awaited In Wall street
There Is another argument toward the sam,
end that appeals more to the cynical
namely. the argument that stocks exist
for the purpose Of speculation and thai
for this primary purpose two little shares
are better than one big share. One may
take ones choice, or mix at discretion
The fact remains that, while Union Paclfic's
investment account Is in no serious sense
a point OF financial weakness, the funda-
mental dictates of business policy are
against its present status Of ownership"

UNION PACIFIC AND STOCK MARKET
Wall street view of the overIRnd's
EARNING Power. ..

Wall street View of the Overihnd's
Earning Power.
The question OF Union Pacific and the
present bear raid on the stock market Is
OF general interest, and that makes the
following from the Wall street Journal
worth reading:
Some comment has been made on a
statement that appeared in the Wall street
Journal several days ago about the part
that dividends from other railroads play
in Union Pacifio's own dividend-payins
ability and the slight effect upon 1t that
reductions in certain other dividend rates
would have. The article in question said;
There is no likelihood now of any ma
terial impairment of this source Of rev.
enue. Even assuming that the baltimore
g. Ohio and the New York Central will
20 on a & per cent basis and the Illinois
Central on a 8 per cent basis. and the elm
ination altogether OF the Chicago a Alton
preferred dividend, the sum of all these
developments would not cause an impair
ment OF Union Paciflc's net earnings "a
an amount as large as three fOurths OF ]
per cent on the company's common share
The correctness OF this calculation has
been mildly questioned. Men in the street
accustomed TO handling figures and ordi.
narily well informed on the affairs of the
big corporations. have said: That can't
be. The sum of all those reductions would
surely be a mach more. serious matter.
And at first glance It does look that way
but the statement Is absolutely correct
