Over Prosecuting

Lodges Complaints For Local
Offences With County
Health Officer
Spirited Session Results With
Warning Faction Seeking to
Reach Understanding

Louis Baumrind, baker, 713 Penn
broke street, and r. Marcincesin, 1927
Ogden street, posted bail OF $25 each
for their appearance in the city court
next Monday to answer charges
brought by the health department
through County Health Officer. George
e. Hill.
The prosecutions of the two are
brought by the county health officer
because for some time the health de-
partment and the city prosecuting at
torneys have been at loggerheads.
Yesterday the two prosecutors, De-
Laney and Redden, met with Health
Officer Mcclellan and Inspector Lynch
at Prosecutor DeLaney's office in the
Sanford building, and with President
G. w. Osborn and Commissioner Lund
they threshed out their differences.
Both prosecutors claimed they had
not slighted the health department,
while Inspector Lynch claimed that
due attention had not been given his
complaints,
The health departments view of the
matter is that when it's inspector
hands in a name for prosecution the
authorities should take 1t for granted
that there has been sufficient warning
given the offender, and that an arrest
should be made. But the prosecutors
hold another view-that before they
issue warrants they should become
familiar personally with the circum-
stances. Hence the two branches Of
the city government have not been
working in harmony
AS a result Of the meeting yester-
day, it Is expected that they will be
brought into more harmonious rela-
tfons. But to attain that end a
stormy session was held. with Inspec-
tor Lynch on the one hand claiming
that his complaints were not proper
ly attended to, and the prosecutors
on the other declaring that they had
not been derelict

Lynch had given the names OF two
offenders to the county health Of

made an unsuccessful attempt, today,
to hold up five employees of the Cit

an exchange Of shots, escaped, leav-
ing a revolver, his mask and bag

wearing a black mask and cap, the
holdup man stepped up to Paying
Teller Bevans, and pushing aside a
customer, demanded all the bank S
cash. He showed in the bag and or
dered the teller to put the money in
it. Cashier Waters heard the demand,
and grabbing a revolver, fired at the
man. An interchange of shots follow
ed and the bandit took to his heels
without the money.

awed by her first experiences in the

from Beulah:

Meantime, with scores of prominent
New York women protesting that her
appearance on the stage would spell
ruin to hundreds of girls, Beulaf' 8

It was said that if moving pictures

RECIPROCITY IN
CANADA STIRS
UP WARM FIGHT
Only Thirteen Days Left in
Campaign-Both Sides Strain
ing Every Nerve
Especial from United Press }

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. S-With the
election only thirteen days away, the
reciprocity campaign in Canada is
becoming increasingly strenuous
Every important man on both sides
of politics is working hard.
Party lines are breaking down and
many conservative farmers are pre-
pared to vote for reciprocity. On the
other hand, a considerable number OF
liberal manufacturers are opposing
the program.
Were the issue to depend entirely
on the reciprocity pact the government
would be confident but the French
nationalists who are opposing the es-
tablishment of the Canadian navy are
making some headway in Quebec.
Were the government to lose 20 seats
it would not have, a working major
The leader Of Rudyard Kipling,

for a little ready cash, is not calcu-
lated TO influence many votes against

Taft's alleged statement about Can
ada being at the parting of the ways
caused much more interest and Sir
Wilfred Laurer referred to it in his
speech at Sudbury.
''We will take our trade from
President Taft but we will not take
our politics from President Taft. Make
no mistake about it, he declared. "If

LORDS DAY
LEAGUE" MAKES
PETTY ATTACK
Doesn't Want H0useb0at Do
mated to Bridgeport and St.
Vincent's Hospitals
Authorities Will Ignore Narrow
Minded Attempt to Interfere
With Hospital Sunday

prosecutor Delaney who is just
getting back into harness after a
months vacation, was not particular
ly pleased on returning from his trip
to find among the unpleasant tasks
that fall to the lot of his office, that
of reading lengthy communication
from the Lords Day League of New
England, having to do with Steeple-
chase Island.
1t appears that Field Secretary w.
S. McIntire does not look with favor
upon Captain Boyton'S splendid char
liable enterprise, Hospital Sunday
which has been advertised for next
Sunday at the Island; consequently ne
has taken his pen and volume of
the statutes in hand.
He points out to the prosecutor that
the plan to dispose of Captain Boy
tons houseboat by lot is in violation
Of the law, quotes from the statutes
to sustain his point and demands
that the enterprise be stopped.
Prosecutor Delaney would not dis
cuss the proposition today. However,
when the prosecutors of the Island de-
manded that he should order plans
for Sunday baseball abolished, he re-
piled that he had no jurisdiction over
what might happen some time in the
future-his business is to prosecute
crimes that have been committed. 1t
is likely that he will take the same
attitude in this matter as the Sunday
baseball proposition, and will demand
of those who ask prosecut1onsthat evil
dence Of violation Of the law be laid
before him if any crime has been
committed.
This is likely to be the last chance
that those who have been bounding
Captain Boyton and Steeplechase Is
land all season will have to make
things unpleasant for the veteran
manager. Captain Boyton feels keen
ly the hostility of the limited few who
have made the management of the
Island this season anything but a bed
CT roses, yet to show his good will
towards the really well meaning peo-
pie of the community he recently Of
fered to give away his houseboat to
help the local hospitals. Even in his
acts of charity his @adversaries insist
upon interference.
Capt. Boyton thinks, and practically
everyone conversant with the situation
agrees with him-that for narrow
minded bigotry and pusillanimous
ina ninity, the LORDS. Day Lee sgs7ie'
touches the supreme heights iii at
tempting to interfere with Capt. Boy
toms offer to donate thousands Of
dollars worth of his own private prop
erty to two such splendid public In
stitutions as Bridgeport and st. Vim
cents hospitals.
Mr. McIntire has also addressed a
letter to The Farmer, asking that an
enclosed "Open Letter to Patrons of
Steeplechase Island" be published.
The letter deals with the disposal of
the houseboat and quotes law which
Mr.. McIntire believes covers the sit
uatiOn.

Chesterfield Courthouse, Va, Sept.
The denouement Of Virginia's three
cornered romance of love and death
was at hand, today.
Four years ago, Henry Clay Beat
tie, Jr., the son of one of Richmond S
wealthy merchants was speeding about
the city in new auto and met a 13
year old girl, pretty, vivacious and
coquetfsh, and there sowed wild oats
that produced a whirlwifd of sordid
romance. Beulah Binford became the
boon companion of the spoiled youth.

later. Henry Beattie broke off his
relations with it's mother.
Into this situation stepped Louise
Wexford Owen, belle of South Rich
mond. and one of the states best
families. A marriage arranged by the
Owen and Beattie families took place.
Beattie confessed to his wife the af-
fair with Beulah Binford and their
married life began, seemingly happy.
Last April. however, Beatt1e and a
chum arranged a trip to Norfolk
where the Binford girl had settled
down. From his return dated the be-
ginning of the end.
Louise was sad" said her sorrow
stricken mother at the trial. "She
had crying spells and she no longer
took any interest in her home"
Back to Richmond, to her first love,
came Beulah Binford, and the third
angle of the eternal triangle was
swiftly drawn. A month after her re-
turn to Richmond, five weeks after
the birth Of the child, Henry Clay
Beattie, Bird, to Beattie's wife, the rich
young man called on his wife at the
automobile ride. They were gone
about an hour. At II O'Clock on the
evening OF July Is. Beattie drove up
at the home of his wife's uncle, in
his car. With the cry, MY God,
they have shot Louise" he dashed
from the blood dripping machine, his
hands and clothing soaked with blood
lifted the shot torn body Of his wife
from the footboards of the car. where
