ENGLAND IN THE GRIP
Of 4 SEAMEN's STRIKE.
Biggest Shipping Ports Tied Up
Situation Becoming More
Serious Daily.

London, Aug. 8.-With the freight
of her two biggest shipping ports COM
pletely tied up, England is in the grip
of 4 strike that is daily becoming more
felt throughout Great Britain. In
Liverpool the docks are piled high
with freight and 5000 railway freight
handlers are on a strike. In London
there was almost complete cessation
OF work today on the miles OF docks
and wharyes. About $50 ships are un-
loaded. The dock workers again to-,
day refused to return to work until the
strike OF the teamsters, Of whom 50 900
are out, also is settled.
Apprehensive of resentment by the
strikers to the employment of soldiers
in connection with the movement of
supplies for the army, police reserves
were in hand early today. A conference
was held this afternoon between 4 COM
mittee of shipping masters and repre-
sentatives OF the various unions.
Liverpool, Aug, 9.-More than
5000 railway freight men are out to-
day in the strike started yesterday to
enforce demand for all increases in
wages.
Movement of freight from this big
shipping port to all parts of England
and Scotland is at complete stand
still.

ONLY ONE CANDIDATE.
Senator Thornton is the Only Can
didate Who Has Announced Hip.-
self For Primary,

Today is the last day set by the Joint
democratic committees OF Alexandria
city and county for candidates to enter
the primary for state senatorship for
this district which is to be held on
September 7th. and the situation
seems to be badly muddled.
According to the best adyices that
could be secured at noon today Senator
R. f. Thornton, Of Fairfax county, is
the only candidate who has complied
with the rules of the committee and
filed his application. Lewis H. Machen
former state senator from this district
and who has been mentioned as one Of
the men who would oppose Thornton
70 reelection is out of the city and no
positive statement could be secured as
to whether or not he would enter the
race. 1t was stated by one of his close
friends that Mr.. Machen will not make
the race.
Al. Wedderburn Of Fairfax county,
who announced his candidacy some
weeks ago has not filed his name with
the committee but said today that he
would stand by his letters written to
Chairman Bendheim and Senator
Thornton in which he stated that he
did not think that primary was neces-
sary. Mr.. Wedderburn said that he
would enter the race against Senator
Thornton in the general election to be
held next November. 1t is stated that
the only way in which he can do this
is to run as an independent candidate.
In the event that tie primary is not
held on September 7th. Mr.. Thornton
will be declared the nominee of the
democratic party and his will be the
only name on the ticket.
The primary election for United States
senators will take place one month
from today. People in touch with the
situation unhesitatingly declare that
Messrs. Martin and Swanson, the pres
ent senators from Virginia, will
have virtual walk-oyer, and that the
results of the campaign of Messrs.
Jones and Glass will prove disappoint-
ing to them and their friends. Neither
Of the opponents of the present sena-
tors have made speeches in Alexandria
nor have they established headquar-
te,s here. No advocates OF the claims
OF either have made themselves prom
inent in exploiting them, nor is there
any likelihood of conditions changing.
1t has always been realized that Alexan-
dria sees no reason for relegating
either Mr.. Martin or Mr.. Swanson to
private life in order to crafty the am
bitions of their competitors; hence
their opponents will leave this city
alone.
1t is believed that between 200 and
1900 votes will be cast in Alexandria.
The campaign in Alexandria has
been quiet from the start. and, from
present indications will remain so un.
til the end.

CHURCH, ,D|GN|TAR|Es
OPPOSE MARRIAGE.
Commotion in the Episcopal Church
Over Coming Marriage of John
Jacob AstOr.

New York, Aug. S.-Whether the
great wealth and social position OF Col.
John Jacob Astor will be sufficient for
him to secure permission of the Coun-
ell OF Bishops Of the Episcopal Church
for his re-marriage has agitated social
circles here today as never before. On
the decision may hinge the future of
the EpiscopalChurcb, AS those opposing
the marriage are headed by Rev. DR..
Geo. Chalmers Richmond, pastor Of
St. Johns Episcopal Church in Phila-
delphia, who insists that he will place
every church digntary who sanctions
the wedding on public record.
Bishop Suffragan Charles S. Birch,
of the Episcopal diocese of New York,
who is conservative in all things,
admitted today that the question Of
sanctioning Col. Astor's wedding was
most momentous. He also threw
some light on the church regulations
insisting that unless the colonel can
convince the church council that he
was the innoc ent party to the divorce
action his marriage can hardly be sane
toned.
The divorce action was prosecuted
by Mrs. Astor, was not opposed by
Astor, and the decree forbad Astor to
re-marry in this state while it granted
that right to Mrs. Astor Infdelity is
the only ground for divorce in New
York. The majority of the
bishops and ministers OF the Episco-
pal church are unalterably opposed
to divorced persons re-marrying at
all although the laws Of the church do
not prohibit absolutely such mar
riages, y explained Bishop Burch.
But the church laws are most strict in
saying what marriages shall be sanction
ed. The divorced person must appear
before the bishop of his diocese, Of
council Of bishops-which will probably
be the rule in the Astor- Force case
and demonstrate that not only is the
decree final but that he or she is the
innocent party. Before this is done,
no Episcopal minister can perform the
ceremony.
Il think that DR.. Richmond's srtuc.
lures are most intemperate but voices
to great extent the feeling towardCol.
Astor's marriage held by the majority
OF the Episcopal church. However lie
may know more about the Astor case
than most people, because as I remem-
Der he sealed the papers
Philsdeiph,,s. Aug S-Rev. Dr..
George Chalmers Richmond, pastor of
St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Philadel-
phia, says:
John Jacob Astor is communi-
cant in our church and bis remarriage
affects tho integrity and vitality OF
Epi5copalism. The Force family appear
to be simply climbers, dazzlcd BY the
A5tor millions. Our women arc re-
sponsbla for the scandals, divorces and
decentralization OF American society.
American women are money mad.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.

Mourning for Phillip Brissel, whose
body lay in coffin before the altar of
st. Johns Evangelical Church at Kohl
vile, Wis, Mrs. Henry Conrad was
struck dead and four other women
rendered unconscious when a bolt Of
lightning pierced the house of worship
Sunday.
Rev. John Frank had just started
the sermon, when vivid flash of fame
and deafening crash seemed to para
lie the entire congregation.
Pastor Franks words of compassion
for the sorrowing family we're never
uttered. Mrs. Conrad and a dozen
other women lay PROSTATE on the floor
while near them writhed dozen others,
their shrieks OF terror precipitating a
panic, which only cool-headed men
prevented.
In that church the men sit on one
side and the women on the other.
Hence, when the lightning struck the
steeple, entered the church, and hurled
down chandelier under which sat Mrs.
Conrad, the lightning found only femi-
nine victims.
The home of Capt. Harry Gill, at
Centreville Landing, Md. was almost
completely wrecked yesterday morning
dnring a severe electrical storm.
The roof was torn off, number of
portions on the lower floor were torn
out and the porch was wrecked. The
kitchen stove was moved distance OF
10 feet. Mrs. Gill and her 5-year-old
son, who we're in the kitchen, we're
rendered unconscious, but neither shows
any mark of the lightning's work. The
bolt knocked the boy across the room
and under table and then passed out
into the yard, killing dog and two
chickens. It then plunged down the
well, which it SO stirred up that the
water has since been unfit for use,

ANOTHER THEORY IN THE
BEAT TIE MURDER CASE.
Prosecution will Argue that the
Prisoner was in State of
Acute Panic.

Richmo-d, Va, Aug 9.-According
to information today, the prosecution in
the Beattie murder case has abandoned
its contention that Henry Clay Beattie,
ir., had deliberately planned the killing
OF his young wife, and will argue that
he was in state of acute panic when
the deed was committed.
The way the prosecution views the
case is that Beattie was thrown into a
panic by the information that his
father, source Of all his spending
money, was shortly to arrive in Rich.
mond, and feared that his wife would
cut off this golden stream by telling
Beattie, ST., Of his sons cruelties and
infdelities. In this state of acute fear,
the commonwealth alleges Beattie
planned his wife's murder in such a
clumsy fashion.
This new theory was decided upon to
offset the possibility of the defense con-
tending that if Beattie did the deed
after crafty planning, he would not
have purchased the shotgun in such a
way that its ownership was easily
traced.
Detective L. L. Scherer is investiga-
ting the report that J. S. Hooker, a
New York travelling man, saw Henry
Clay Beattie, ir., on July IA, and that
Beattie drew shotgun shells from his
pocket. July IA was the day before
that on which the shotgun was pur-
chased, according to Paul Beattie's
version.
Only three or four witnesses will be
taken before the grand jury next Mon
day, according to counsel for the prose
cution. These will include Paul
Beattie and Beulah Binford, the
"Other Woman.

.PQPE's CONDITION
STILL CAUSES ALARM.

Anxiety at the Vatican---Pontiff
Depressed.

Rome, Aug. 8.-There was no
noticeable improvement today in the
condition OF the pope. Despite the Of
forts to minimize the seriousness OF his
condition, anxiety prevails at the
Vatican. 1t was learned authoritatvely
today that tile aged pontiff has had
more iainting spells than have been
made public. That the pontiff's spirits
are affected by his illness ID evident
from the fact that recently he has ap.
peared greatly depressed, and he seldom
smiles.
London, Aug. S.--A special from
Rome to the London Times this after
noon says that the pope passed bad
night, and that his condition today is
anything but reassuring.
